Oregon City Farm Damaged by Fire Oregon City (UPI) A spectacular Monday afternoon fire on the Frank Brown farm about a mile south of here caused an estimated $15, 000 damage.

LAMAS PERSECUTED Calcutta UPI) The Chi nese Communists have re fused exit permits to Tibetan lamas who have been trying to flee to India in large num bers. The lamas reportedly face a new wave of persecu tion in eastern Tibet where their monasteries have been seized by the Communists and their traditional rights and privileges withdrawn. Man's Flight Into Space, Safe Return Seen Within Five Years Moffett Naval Air Station, Calif. (UP) A top research scientists predicts man will travel into space and return to earth within five years at the most, thanks to successful research with five-stage rock ets. This prediction came Monday from Dr. Alfred J. Eggers, one of the top air re search scientists at Ames Lab oratory here. "The basic technology is all worked out," he said. "Now the engineering of the ship it self remains. No more than five years, certainly." Disclosure that this country has been successfully experi menting with five-stage rock ets, using existing "hard ware," came at an open house sponsored by the National Ad visory Committee for Aerona tics at the Ames Laboratory. Not High Priced The NACA said it has been firing hundreds of the rockets ati speeds reaching 10,650 miles an hour for the past two years. It costs "only a few thousand dollars" to fire one of the 55-foot rockets. The rockets use the motor of the Army's Honest John ballistic missile for the first stage. The second and third stages use anti-aircraft Nike Ajaxes. The fourth stage is a Recruit. The fifth stage is a Thiokol T-55 rocket which carries the instruments. "I believe we are the first to use such an arrangement," said Hugh L. Dryden, direc tor of the NACA. The firings have been carried out from the NACA's pilotless research aircraft station at Wallops Island, Va. The purpose of the firings is to gain experience in ballistics missiles research. Ninety-Minute Flight The rockets are capable of reaching altitudes of "several hundreds of miles," research ers said. Just how high is a se cret. Engineers have also suc ceeded in blowing the nose portion of the rockets back into the earth's atmosphere to study the problem of get ting space missiles back to earth without letting air fric tion burn them up. Using model-size wind tun nels capable of generating winds of 16,000 miles an hour, researchers have experiment ed with heat-resistant metal alloys and other critical itms needed in space flight. Research with wind tunnels and other equipment al Ames Laboratory has also enable scientists to state flatly that a 2,000-mile-an-hour commer cial plane can be built now. Such a plane, they said, could take off from New York at 6 p.m. and land in San Francisco at 4:30 p.m. a time of 90 minutes for a transcon tinental flight. PHYSICIAN DIES Nashua, N.H.
