'Photon' Space Ship Hay Solve Time 1V1 ciciiins Problem Moscow OPs A Soviet scientist indicated today that man's age-old dream of creat ing a time machine may be realized some day with the aid of "photon" space ships able to project man thousands of years ahead of time. K. A. Gilzin, a member of the USSR astronautical sec tion, wrote in the newspaper Soviet Aviation that space travel on a "photon" space ship which converts matter into fuel and travels at near ly the speed of light (186,000 miles a second) can travel for half a lifetime into outer space, then return to earth and find that thousands of years have elpased. Gilzin admitted that this is a "daring phantasy," but said this is consistent with Ein stein's theory of "decelera tion." According to Einstein, as man travels at a speed ap proaching the speed of light he actually slows down or de celerates in relation to time on earth. Thus a man travel ing through outer space who leaves behind on earth a six-year-old son can return after a period of time to find that his son is older than he is. Born and Died Gilzin said that man trav eling on a photon space ship Grange Notes Upper Applegata Grange Upper Applegate Grange will meet Friday, Jan. 10, at the Grange hall. Members are asked to take four sand-' wiches. can reach "in several years' stars far distant from the earth and can returned to earth. During this time many generations will have been born and died." He described what he call ed a photon-space ship which obtained its fuel from minute particles of matter which ex ist in outer space. The ship is composed of four huge squares, each one square kilometer in area. A funnel mouth in the cen ter of each square picks up all particles of matter en countered in flight, then di gests them and transforms them into light and ejects them to the rear thus creating forward motion. A passenger cabin is locat ed where the four squares in tersect and elevators connect the cabin to the engines, pre sumably to permit mainten ance. Gilzin said that the photon engines will also pick up par ticles from the colossal gas vapors which exist in outer space. The writer admitted, how ever, that there are tremend ous problems that must be solved before any such ship can be constructed, including the basic problem of convert ing all matter Into energy. But, he said, "it is hardly surprising that our Soviet people, the people who made the first step to the conquest of the cosmos, are already thinking of such a great scien tific problem." "No, there are no limits to the creative daring of the man of the first Socialist country," he said. The same issue of "Soviet Aviation" describes an air plane of the future called an "ionosphere plane" which draws its fuel from "disinte grated and ionized solar ra diation" in the ionosphere. According to Maj. Gen. G. I. Plkrovski, one of Russia's leading missile experts, a cat alyst in the engine of this plane reconstitutes the ions and atoms into molecules and the energy produced by this propels the plane.

(International Soundphoto) LIGHTSHIP REPLACED Old Saybrook, Conn (IP After 101 years of service the Coast Guard decided to re place the Cornfield Lightship on Long Island Sound with radar buoys.

Lonergan Suffers Stomach Hemorrfiage Portland (IPI Circuit Judge Frank Lonergan was treated by his physician Tues day after suffering a stomach hemorrhage in his courtroom chambers. His condition was reported as "not serious." 1957 HOME LOANS Chicago (IP) The nation's 6, 000 savings and loan associa tions made $10,300,000,000 in home loans during 1957. The United States Savings and Loan League said this was 5300,000,000 below the 1956 total but represented an "ex cellent record" in view of a re duced home building and buy ing market. Wednesday, January 8, 1958 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FIVE Hillary May Aid Fuchs on Jaunt Wellington, N.Z. iipi A New Zealand Antarctic ex per said today Sir Edmund Hillary may nelp to set up an extra supply base to aid the completion of Briton Viv ian Fuchs trail-blazing trans Antarctic trek. A. S. Helm, chairman of New Zealand's Ross Sea Com mittee, said the new base, that would be 100 miles nearer the pole than the one Hillary set up last year, could be pro visioned entirely by plane. Earlier, Hillary himself had confirmed his earlier plan to fly to the base already es tablished and guide Fuchs from there to New Zealand's Scott base on the Antarctic coast. It appeared he had ab andoned efforts to talk Fuchs out of the transcontinental try. The British explorer was 260 miles from the pole at latest reports. Re expects to reach it by a week from Fri day and push on toward the coast. TIME MODEL Boise, Idaho (IP) Boise ju venile authorities are keeping a check on sales of a certain type of model airplane glue after discovering that a num ber of youths had been get ting "high" by sniffing the fumes from the adhesive ma terial.
