February 12, 1937 BITTER GOLD, FIRES ADD TO DEATH LIST Companion Suggested for docket Trip to Outer Space FIRST 'SPACE' MAN? Airman 1c Donald Farrell (facing camera) confers with Fenton Duepner, an electronics en gineer, at the Air Force School of Aviation Medicine at Randolph AFB, Texas, during a pre-ascension briefing for Farrell's week-long simulated space flight.

VALENTINE guaranteed fresh . . . and so delicious! $135 I lb. bos yy $960 2 lb. be exclusive at Brothers To Get Hospital Tests Albany, Ore. (IT) Two brothers charged with first degree murder after they con fessed to the knife-slaying of a 57-year old Albany man on Sunday were undergoing men tal examinations at the state hospital in Salem today. Andrew Wolfe, 22, Spring field, and his 20-year-old bro ther, Philip, an airman sta tioned at Larson Air Force Base, Moses Lake, Wash., ap peared before District Judge Wendell Tompkins Tuesday and heard a complaint charg ing them with the first de gree murder of Walter Callo way Howell. District Attorney Courtney Johns recommended to the court that the youths be taken to the state hospital for an examination to determine if they are "mentally able to tell right from wrong." Brown of Salem agreed and the Wolfes were taken to the state hos pital Tuesday night t in cust ody of Linn county Sheriff George Miller. San Antonio, Tex. (IP) The first space traveler should have a companion rather than rocket alone above' the earth, a doctor suggested after ob serving the first three days of a man's simulated trip to outer space. "A cabin which would sup port a crew of two or more a mutually dependent crew would be more desirable for future orbital flight," Dr. George H. Steinkamp said Tuesday. Steinkamp, chief of the Air Force's Department of Space Medicine, has been watching Airman Donald G. Farrell's reactions as he "pilots" a three-by-five-foot steel cham ber simulating the conditions of a flight into space. Steinkamp indicated he had reached his conclusion from observing Farrell during his stay in the chamber since Sunday, but would not say so specifically. Steinkamp pronounced Far rell "mentally keen" and do ing "excellently" at the end of the third day of his "flight." He said there was no sign of wear on the 23-year-old air man's body or nerves.. The Bronz, N.Y. airman pleased doctors controlling the experiment by solving his first space problem by making a substitute for a forgotten comb. He taped toothpicks to a piece1 of cardboard and then, with evident satisfaction, scratched his blond hair with it. Farrell has until Sunday morning to remain in the small airtight chamber. While there he is under close obser vation by scientists from the Air .Force's School of Avia tion Medicine to determine whether man's nerves can stand the strain and loneli ness of a space flight. PSYCHOANALYST DIES London (IP) Dr. Ernest Jones, 79, who introduced psychoanalysis in the United States, died Tuesday at a Lon don hospital. A disciple and biographer of Dr. Sigmund Freud, Jones suffered a thrombosis last June and a retinal hemorrhage in one eye last fall. He risked his life in 1938 to go to Vienna to persuade Nazi authorities to permit Freud and his family to come to Britain. He was permanent honorary president of the International Psycho analytic association at the time of his death. i a " v Merry Tiller provides ill U O O O C selection of rotors exaCt''' ' 'lt to' j j I . m j m 1 1 f positive traction on Aim BASIC ROTORS PICK ROTORS Jlt for Normal Soils , for Tough Soils MULCHING ROTORS RUBBER WHEELS ANGLE ROTORS For mulching high weeds and wet soil.

The departure from the capital on Tuesday of Secretary of State John Foster Dulles and Thurs day's scheduled departure by the President suggested the letter is almost ready to go. Not To Budge Officials said the Presi' dent's letter will not budge from the American position that a chiefs-of-state "sum mit" conference must be "ad equately prepared" in ad vance at lower diplomatic lev els. But the role of a formal foreign ministers conference in such preparation is expect ed to be minimized. Dulles said Tuesday, how ever it isn't essential" to have a foreign ministers' meeting in advance of a sum mit parley. His statement am ounted vto a green light to the Soviets to begin pre-sum mit talks through ambassa dor channels in Moscow and Washington. The Russians have agreed upon the princi ple of "thorough preparation" but balked at a foreign min isters meeting. Chances Said Improved Mikhail A. Menshikov, new Soviet ambassador here, said he hoped Dulles' statement had improved chances for a heads-of-government meeting. "I believe that a summit meeting will be organized," he said. "The sooner it is or ganized the better it will be." Redstone Test Said Successful Cape Canaveral, Fla. (IP) The Redstone missile, workhorse of the Army's Jupiter C satellite carrier, blasted into cloudy skies on Tuesday night in an appar ently successful test laun ching. The 60-foot Redstone, a 200 to 300-mile range mis sile already in operational status, roared skyward from the missile test cen ter at 7:52 p.m. (EST), but was visible for only about 30 seconds before it zoom ed info a low-hanging bank of clouds which spoiled the show for scores of specta tors lining beaches. The roar of the ' Red stone's 75,000-pound thrust engine was heard, however, for nearly three minutes as the missile streaked out over the Atlantic. The Army plans to bring field crews here soon to test fire the Redstone as part of the missile training program. The Redstone, built by the Chrysler corp., now uses a liquid propel lant, but a longer-range ver sion is being developed that will use more powerful sol id fuel.

Fire swept through Young's department store in downtown Kansas City Tuesday, and other blazes caused damages totaling thousands of dollars in Farmersburg, Ind., and Louisville, 111.
