Double Kl E! 77 1 Control II pjij I . Crosby, Minn. (UPD A huge plastic balloon soared aloft Saturday, bearing two scientists, 5,000 insects and a maze of scientific instruments. Two veteran spacemen, Cmdr. Malcolm D. Ross, 38, and retired Gmdr. M. Lee Lewis, 45, jplanned to go up 17 miles to the fringe of outer space, before easing the 17- story high balloon to earth late Sunday. At 2:42 a.m. (POT) the bal loon, dangling a sealed and pressurized gondola, was cut loose from its launching site in a 400-foot deep open pit mine. It soared up at a' rate between 1,000 and 2,000 feet per minute in what U. S. Navy spokesmen described as "a perfect launch." Tracking Plane As the balloon began Its as cent, a tracKlng plane and tracking van swung into op eration, following the crafts westward course toward North Dakota. The first radio contact came as the balloon reached 740 feet, and Ross and Lewis, be gan to rattle off a series of readings from the instru ments. A short while later, the Three Enter Pleas Of Innocent to Violence Threat Lakeview (UPD . Three men entered pleas of inno cent Friday to charges of vag rancy and threat of violence against employees of the White King Mine at a hearing before Justice of the Peace O. C. Gibbs here. ' , The men, Lawrence Bays, Davey Graham, and Arnold Holmes, were represented by their attorney, Robert Welch. A request for separate trials was denied by the judge, who also overruled Welch's de murrer to the complaint. Sheriff's deputies and Lake- view city police arrested the men here Tuesday after they allegedly threatened non union workers at the mine. Trial Date Set Judge Gibbs set the jury trial date for 10 a.m. July 31. Union members called a strike against the mine opera tions of the Lakeview mining company July 20 after the company had refused to rec ognize the union as bargain ing agent for the workers. . The company" refused to recognize the union on the grounds that many of the present employees are work ing on a temporary basis and it would be "unfair" to future employees who would be bound by an agreement that they didn't have an oppor tunity to vote on. A restraining order aimed at the striking union mem-, bers was issued Wednesday by Circuit Judge Charles Fos The order prohibits union members from threatening violence against non - union members who are still work ing. pilot of a commercial airline made contact with the bal loon. Ross .responded to the call with a genial, "what do you say, kid?" Delayed The launching had been scheduled for last Wednesday but high winds and foul wea ther cancelled the repeated attempts. Last minute techni cal problems delayed the scheduled midnight launch ing Saturday, and Ross and Lewis spent the final hours in a pressurized van at the take off point while technicians swarmed about the balloon. Just before takeoff the men entered the gondola, which, has an artificial atmosphere of the type which would be used in a manned satellite. They will study the effects of the stratosphere and cos mic radiations on themselv and the insects that ar shar ing the flight. They also will mafca obser vations of Mars. The vehicle was expected to reach its peak of 84,000 feet within two hours after the launching, level off and re main aloft throug Saturday night returning to earth this morning. ft AVISCO RAYON, ORLON IN PRINT AT SAVINGS SHOP OUR WIDE ARRAY OF $5 BLANKET VALUES!

Production has remained low this month, due to mill vacation shutdowns, while the demand from the east and midwest has continued at a relatively high level due to an upturn in housing starts, Crow's said. The sudden, increase in the demand for boards has come as a result of higher plywood sheathing prices, according to Crow's, and is expected to re main at a high point until the critical shortage of ply wood is eased. Random Lengths, Eugene reports that Fir and Hemlock dimension, both green and kiln dried, was attracting a volume of business at the mills with the buyers primar ily interested in specific lengths commonly used in homebuilding. The market for random dimensions has im proved but it lags a step be hind the demand for specified lengths, the report states.
