r Mm en's Jerusalem; Situation Quiet By WALTER LOGAN United Press Correspondent Jordan's Ramallah Radio lerted Jordanian and Saudi Arabian troops today against "Zionist danger." Armed Jordanian soldiers pa O trolled the streets of old Jeru salem throughout the night and this morning and the situation was reported quiet but tense. There was no report on the activities of the Saudi Arabian troops who entered Jordan last year during Israel's invasion of the Sinai Peninsula. The Ramallah broadcast con firmed the troops were still in Jordan. High Israeli sources predicted the crisis between Israel and Jordan might worsen within the next few days and expressed hope a visit by U.N. Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold would ease the situation. Hammarskjold leaves New York Friday, and an Amman, Jordan, dispatch said he would arrive there Sunday in response to a cable from the government of King Hussein. United Nations observers in the no man's land between Jor dan and Israel watched through the night over the flood-lit bar riers despite Jordan's announced intention of ignoring the truce - organization until Col. Byron T. Leary is replaced as chief truce supervisor. Few Tourists Only a few tourists strolled through the narrow bazaars of the Jordan section of Jerusalem today. Heavily armed guards pa trolled the roads leading out of Jerusalem, and only persons with special passes got through.

There have been three shooting frays on the Syrian border this week and Israel sources feared more. United Press Correspondent Eliav Simon reported in a Jeru salem, Israel, dispatch that the crisis between Jordan and Israel would deepen if Jordan contin ues to refuse passage of a relief convoy for the Mount Scopus area, site of an Israel school and hospital behind Jordan lines. Violations Discussed Leary met Monday night with Premier David Ben-Gurion and Foreign Minister Golda Meir when recent charges and counter-charges of border violations with Jordan had precipitated the current tenseness to impress other Arab nations. Another subject almost cer tain to come up for discussion GIFT FOR BOYS' TOWN Joseph E. Taylor, 214 North Peach st., makes a last minute check on some of his scale model railroad equipment before shipping directly to Boys' Town in Nebraska. Consolidated Freightways truck picked up $3,000 worth of model railroad equipment included in the gift. Taylor said the large present consists of 28 different locomotives, 94 coaches, freight cars and passenger cars and 450 lengths of 12-inch track plus tunnels, bridges, and automatic switches. Flying Saucer Attributed to By CHINA ALTMAN United Press Correspondent Cambridge, Mass. (IP) Dr. Donald H. Menzel, director of Harvard college observatory, said today flying saucer reports these days can be attributed largely to "Sputnikitis." Menzel, long known as one of the leading saucer debunkers, said he was not implying that all reports are psychological hyster ia. "Most of these images actually exist and have been seen," he 6aid, "but they are just not what people thought they saw. "And I just don't believe those reports of saucers putting out lights and stalling engines. That was probably just a nervous foot on the accelerator." Some Causes Menzel lists these causes of "flying saucer" reports: Searchlights playing on thick cloud layers of cloud or moist. Venus, Jupiter or various oth er bright stars, bright fireballs - nt WORLD S HNEST BuuKflui Q between Israel officials and Hammarskjold is that of Israel rights under the armistice agree ment to visit holy places in Jor danian territory, Simon report ed. The Israelis claim the Jor danians have refused this right. The situation between Israel and Syria also was a trouble some one for Hammarskjold to face. Israel has complained that local Syrian commanders have ignored an agreement and con tinue to attack Israeli workers engaged in soil improvement and drainage projects near the border. - Damascus dispatches said Syria regarded this work as a breach of the armistice agree ment. A Syrian military spokes man also accused five Israeli sol diers Monday night of infiltrat ing into Arab territory Monday and opening fire on shephards. Reports Are Sputnikitis and even the moon shining through broken clouds. Reflection from distant planes, jet aircraft, vapor trails, bal loons, spider webs, peculiar clouds. Phenomena related to the Au rora Borealis. Some unusual forms of shooting stars. Most Explained Menzel does believe there are some saucer reports which "rep resent natural phenomena that we simply still do not fully un derstand," but he contends that most can be explained. '.'A whirlpool of air near an airplane may reflect a distant light and appear to be a flying saucer alongside the ship," he said. Menzel confesses that he has personally seen and chased sau cers. "I admit that strange sights do appear in the sky, more in deed than the average man re alizes," he said. "I have my self, on more than one occasion, In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Space travel stuff: The other day our Air Force (presumably somewhere down in the New Mexico desert) fired what amounts to a king-size shotgun load of aluminum balls about the size of a marble up into the air way, WAY up into the heavens. A booster jigger wag used. A rocket nose-cone streaked 54 miles up into the sky and then burst with an explosive charge, flinging the marble-size t balls into space. At least two of them escaped the earth's gravity and scientists think they probably fell into the gravity pull of the sun. (In which event, of course, they went poof! in a burst of metallic vapor, for the surface tempera ture of the sun is about 12,000 degrees Fahrenheit. In case it interests you, the temperature of the sun at its CENTER is be lieved to be about 40 MILLION degrees Fahrenheit.) Hc OW does this gravity busi ness work? Try this on your tabletop: Park a magnet somewhere on the smooth surface of the table. Place some other magnets around it at varying distances. Get yourself a smooth steel ball say a ball bearing of modest size. Roll the ball gently away from your center magnet. As long as it stays within the pull of the center magnet, it will COME BACK to the center mag net. But When it gets away from the pull of the center magnet and INTO the pull of one of the oth er magnets, it will go to THAT magnet. That's the gravity story in an imaginary nutshell. SO MUCH for how it happened. Now for what it means. ONE of our Air Force scientists (Maurice Dubin of the U. S. Air Force research center at Cambridge, Massachusetts) says this break-through of the earth's gravitational barrier MAY PIN POINT A PATH TO THE MOON. In other words The same technique that hurl ed a bucketful or a wagon load, or maybe only two alumi num pellets the size of a marble beyond the earth's grasp could SEND A ROCKET TO THE MOON. IT HAS another angle: This experiment, which be gan over a month ago, is be lieved to be MAN'S FIRST BREAK-THROUGH TO INTER PLANETARY SPACE. If that is true IT PUTS ONE OVER ON SPUTNIK. THAT is to say: It says to the world at large that whatever the Russians can do , we can do BIGGER AND BETTER. It coppers the Sputnik bet and puts us one up on the Rus sians in the propaganda race. seen a cross flaming in the sky, a cross centered on the sun with its arms glowing in rainbow col ors." He said that image was ex plained as "a pattern of light caused by t clouds of ice crystals far above the surface of the earth." n a glass itself . . . or uherever bourbon belongs, JIM BEAM is unique among bourbons; gives you more genuine, heartwarming satis faction and old-fashioned good taste.

IEAH WSTIUKS CO, CIEUONT, KUTUUCr The Medical Roundup by RECOGNITION OF DIABETES Throughout this country be tween Nov. 17 and 23, special effort is being made to warn people of the need for rec ognizing diabe- tes early. There must be around a mil lion persons in the country who have a beginning o r even a serious diebetes and Ml Dr Alvarez don't know it. Common symp- toms are, increased thirst with increased passage of urine, and increased hunger, perhaps with loss of weight. Persons who have diabetic relatives, who are stout, and are Jewish, should be par ticularly careful to have their urine checked and ther blood sugar estimated at least once a year. The blood test is often the more revealing because many persons go around for some time with an excess of sugar in their blood but not enough to "spill over" into the urine. All people who get crops of boils should quickly have their blood sugar measured, also all elderly per sons who suffer from generalized itching and all persons who start losing their sight. Diabetes is due to a destruc tive process in certain cells in the pancreas a large digestive gland which lies back of the stomach. These so-called islet cells produce the insulin which we must all of us have if we are to handle the sugar we take in. Without insulin our fats al so are not well handled. Small children can get dia betes, and when they do they must have the very best of care if they are to grow up strong and well. Diabetic women, when pregnant, also need special care if they are to have a live baby. Today, there is little excuse for a diabetic's getting into se rious trouble or losing his life, Lr1SHW (JOIN THE MANY THOUSANDS OF U I OREGON PEOPLE WHO ARE TAKING THESE STEPS Jy" TO A FUN-FILLED CHRISTMAS SEASON!)

Tuesday, November 26, 1957 Emeritus Consultant In Medicine, Mayo Clinic Emeritus Professor of Medicine, Mayo Foundation Even children with the severest form of the disease can be kept in good health with the help of insulin. Older persons usually have a milder type of diabetes which can be controlled either with diet or with the new pill that can be taken by mouth. Younger persons with severe dia betes are not likely to get relief from the new medicine. It is important that everyone with diabetes read one of the booklets that have been pre pared for laymen by experts in this field A man's health and his life will depend on his knowl edge of diabetes, and perhaps of the way in which insulin must be taken. Today, Dr. Joslin, the great expert, says that if a dia betic will behave properly and intelligently, he should live out his three score and ten. Not so the diabetic who. be haves well for a while and then goes on a binge of eating. Such a man's doctor may forgive him, but his body won't, and, as a result, he may get into se rious trouble with his arteries or his eyes or his kidneys. To day, no diabetic should die of his diabetes, but if he does not behave he can die of arterios clerosis. Average Earning of Teachers Shows Increase Portland (IP) Teachers in Oregon classrooms on the aver age are earning $4,825 a year, or $161 more than during the 1956-57 school year, according to preliminary figures released by the research bureau of the Ore gon Education association. . On the average, teachers with out a bachelor degree make $4,298, those with a BA earn $4, 796, and those with a master's degree or more earn $5,547 per year. Tobacco producers use about 70 million pounds of sugar in a normal year. MST so Journal Reporter Greeted by Penguin Portland (IPI Rolla (Bud) Crick, Oregon Journal reporter who was stranded at the South Pole for three weeks, arrived home Monday night and was greeted by a penguin. Crick had been scheduled to returnt o Portland with Zoo Di rector. Jack Marks, who brought back a plane load of penguins. But he ,flew to the South Pole and got stranded after his plane developed engine trouble. Marks took an emperor pen guin to the airport Monday night to help welcome Crick home. Crick said he suffered from the flu during his ordealat the pole and lost several pounds. He said the group at the pole dug snow caves and spent time looking for air-dropped supplies until a plane finally got them out. Finest Gasoline "On the Point"-S. Riverside & 5.
