Communications Systems of
Companies Continue to Grow
By ELMER C. WALZER
UPI Financial Editor
New York O0 With
American industry spreading
out all over the nation with
its branch offices and plants
a giant system of communica
tions is growing and growing.
American Telephone and
Telegraph company's long
lines department sets up
5,863,760 miles of circuits for
5,527 services to industry in
teletypewriter service. Also
there are 7,259 users of pri
vate telephone lines with a
total mileage of 2,565,140
miles.
Companies using these far
flung communications systems
keep in touch with all develop
ments of their various plants
and offices. And the process
makes a piece of big business
for the telephone company.
Some of the systems resem
ble the press associations with
their busy wire communica
tions throughout the nation.
Various Industries
Largest users of private
communication systems in
clude General Motors, Gener
al Electric, U.S. Steel, West
ern Electric, Du Pont, New
York Central, Chesapeake and
Ohio, Republic Steel, Armour
and Swift. Of course, the air
lines are linked up with a
vast network of wires.
One of the new communica
tions systems recently install
ed with for Swift and com
pany. Swift replaced its old
communications system with
a fully automatic teletype
writer system, the first of its
kind in the food industry,
according to American Tele
phone. That company notes that
Swift must have speedy com
munications because of the
keen competition in the meat
business where products are
perishable, and profit margins
very close. Market prices and
available product supplies
must be kept under constant
observation.
Data Processed by ATT
The system also aids the
immediate delivery of prod
ucts and permits a quick re
sponse to customer inquiries.
Mass Funeral Held
For Crash Victims
Galway, Ireland (UPD Busi
ness stopped here today for
the mass funeral of 27 uni
dentified victims of last
Thursday's KLM plane crash
which killed. 99 persons.
Exact cause of the crash
was still unknown. A coro
ner's jury found Monday that
the victims died as the result
of "multiple- injuries caused
by violent impact," but said
there was "no evidence to
show cause of impact."
The unidentified bodies
were taken to the small ceme
tery of St. Mary's Roman
Catholic church in downtown
Galway for burial in one
grave.
The bodies of three Ameri
cans, two Dutch nationals, a
Mexican and a man tentative
ly listed as an Iraqi were
among the 34 recovered from
the Atlantic off Ireland near
the spot where the four-engine
Super-Constellation hit
the water. They will be flown
to the victims' homelands
later this week.
Five denomination, services
were organized at the mass
grave Roman Catholic, Jew
ish, Church of Ireland, Mos
lem and Non-Conformist.
Cuban Army Patrol
Beats Off Ambush
Havana (ITD A five-man
Cuban army patrol beat off
an attempted rebel ambush at
Cabana, killing six of the ene
my, the army announced Mon
day night.
'it said the patrol suffered
one casualty.
It requires about 45 gallons
of water to fill an average do
mestic bathtub.
Information comes in from
all over the country and is
processed by ATT processing
equipment and facts then are
distributed to the Swift sales
organization.
Swift's new communication
system links 55 cities from
coast to coast with 16,400
miles of circuits. It can trans
mit 90,000 words an hour,
more than twice the wordage
of the company's old system.
It also ties together data
processing machines at 20
scattered locations.
Nomination Clears
Senate Monday
Washington (LTD Presi
dent Eisenhower's nomination
of W. Wilson White to head
the Justice Department's new
Civil Rights division cleared
the Senate Monday night
after a two-hour debate over
White's role in the Little
Rock, Ark., school integration
episode.
A last-ditch oratorical as
sault by southern Democrats
failed to keep the Senate from
approving White's nomina
tion by a 56 to 20 vote.
Voting against White were
18 southern Democrats, in
cluding Senate Democratic
leader Lyndon B. Johnson
(Tex) and two Republicans.
The GOP votes were cast by
Sen. Milton R. Young (N.D.)
and John J. Williams (Del.).
White's supporters, led by
Sen. Arthur V. Watkins
(R-Utah) said the Senate twice
before had confirmed the
Philadelphia attorney for high
federal posts and that nothing
had happened since to destroy
his value.
Watkins also defended the
soundness of the legal work
done by White in the Little
Rock case, saying that two
courts since had upheld the
validity of the President's
action in using troops to en
force federal court decisions.

Engineers Claim
Man Can Circle
Moon in 80 Hours
Stanford, Calif. (UPI! Man
can go around the moon in
80 hours as early as 1963 if
this country wants to spend
the money and the time on a
crash program for the voyage,
two engineers said today.
The engineers, Dandridge
M. Cole and Donald E. Muir
of the Martin company, Den
ver, Colo., reported on the
possibilities of a Moon voyage
in a paper prepared for deliv
ery at the American astronau
tical Society. -
"A program including five
test flights and three manned
flights around the moon
could be carried out for a to
tal cost less than that of some
current large rocket projects,"
Cole and Muir said.
Required Vehicles
"The required vehicles
could be assembled from
components which, for the
most part, are already well
along in development."
They said the trip from
earth to the moon and back
could take from three to four
days " a good compromise
between emphasis on safety
and comfort of the passenger
on one hand and lowest pos
sible costs on the other."
The first preparatory step,
they said, should be taken be
fore 1962. That step would be
to send a man in -a sealed
space cabin into orbit around
the earth. Rocket hardware
already under development
could be used.
"Before 1564, the big step
can be made," Cole and Muir
said. "A man in a sealed cab
in similar to the orbiting ve
hicle could be sent in a jour
ney around the moon, return
ing to the earth.
"Trie solutions tojhe major
problems involved is such a
venture are already under
stood in principle, and the re
maining problems are primar
ily those of money, "time and
engineering development.
II. 5. Rejects Red
Violation Claim
Washington (BPD The
United States has quietly re
jected Russia's latest charge
that an American jet plane
deliberately violated Soviet
air space, it was learned to
day. The rejection was dis
patched to Moscow during
the past few days. The State
Department had not made it
public and apparently did not
intend to do so.
It was not clear why the
American note was kept se
cret after Russia freely aired
its charges. There was spec
ulation the U. S. did not want
to ruffle Soviet feeling while
hoping for Soviet cooperation
at the United Nations in
working out a Middle East
solution.
The Soviet Union delivered
its protest July 30. It charged
that an RB47, the reconnais
sance version of a four-turbo-pet
medium bomber, zipped
over Russian territory July
26. Russia said the plane
came from Iran, violated the
Soviet border over the Cas
pian sea and strayed 15 miles
inside Russian territory be
fore Soviet jets forced it back
across the border.
The State Department re
fused to discuss contents of
the reply. From other sources
it was learned the Air Force
was unable to find a single
recent incident of an Ameri
can plane violating the Soviet
border in the Caspian sea
area.
The U.S. therefore curtly
brushed the Soviet charges
aside as having no founda
tion, informed sources said.

Farm Bill Gets by
Final Congressional
Barrier Monday
Washington (UPD An ad
ministration-directed farm
bill negotiated its final con
gressional hurdle Monday
night after weeks of uncer
tainty and was sent to Presi
dent Eisenhower for signa
ture. The Senate by voice vote
passed the compromise meas
ure which permits Agricul
ture Secretary Ezra T. Ben
son to drop minimum price
supports to as low as 65 per
cent for corn next year and
for rice and cotton in 1962.
Although bitterly assailed
by farm state Democrats and
Republicans, Congress passed
the bill to forestall heavy cut
backs in cotton and rice plant
ing allotments next year. The
cuts would have occurred au
tomatically if Congress ap
proved no farm legislation
this session.
The measure was regarded
as a major victory for Ben
son, who said the bill "con
tains many forward-looking
provisions which will give
our nation's farmers and
ranchers more freedom to
plant, to market, to compete
and to make their own deci
sions." Signature Certain
Eisenhower was certain to
sign the measure worked out
by House Republican and
Democratic leaders to break
the farm legislation deadlock.
The Senate approved the
measure after backing down
from its original demand for
a conference committee to
iron out differences between
House and Senate versions of
farm legislation. Speaker
Sam Rayburn had said there
would be no farm legislation
this session unless it did.
The bill retains the present
parity concept as a basis for
price supports. The Senate
version would have replaced
that with supports. based on
average crop prices in the
three preceding years.
Benson conceded the bill
was" not all the administra
tion sought. But he said it
was based "on the sound
principle that a wider range
of price supports will lead to
expanded markets for this
nation's - abundant agricul
tural products."
Low Support Levels
He said the measure would
make cotton more competi
tive with synthetic fibres,
widen the range of price sup
ports for cotton and rice and
give corn growers a chance to
decide on acreage restrictions.
In terms of parity the new
bill would permit supports
for corn to be cut to the low
est level since 1939 and sup
ports for cotton to the lowest
level since 1940. Parity is a
legal yardstick for measuring
a "fair" price for farmers,
taking into account the prices
he pays for the things he
buys. '
Cotton this year is pegged
at 81 per cent, corn at 77 per
cent, and rice at 75 per cent
of parity under a flexible
scale which allows supports
for basic crops to range from
75 to 90 per cent of ' parity,
depending on supplies.
Soviet Migs Patrol
Formosa Straights
Taipei, Formosa (UPD So
viet built Mig fighter planes
roamed the Formosa Straits
today but the Nationalist Chi
nese Defense Ministry report
ed no combat.
The Nationalists warned
their neighbors to be on guard
against Communist subversion
and infiltration in East Asia,
from Japan in the north to
Thailand in the south.
Chen Chien-chung, a sec
tion chief in the ruling Na
tionalist party, predicted that
the Communists will step
up underground aggression
against Japan and Southeast
Asia as a result of the Peiping
meeting between Soviet .Pre
mier Nikita Khrushchev and
Chinese Communist President
Mao Tse-tung.
The aggression will take
the form of subversion and
infiltration, Chen said. ,
Small Plane Lands
On Expressway
Portland (CPD Motorists
were startled Monday night
as they found a light plane
parked along side the Colum
bia river expressway near
Rooster Rock.
The plane, a Piper Tripacer,
was enroute to Hillsboro from
Boise, Idaho, when the motor
sputtered and the pilot de
cided it was time to land. .
Peter P. Dement, 30, Seat
tle, was reluctant to land at
the Portland International air
port because he had no radio
transmitter. Dement was un
able to find the Troutdale air
field. Although - his calculations
showed there should have
been plenty of gas left in his
tanks, Dement decided a land
ing would be the safest thing
to do.
He and his three passen
gers, Shirley Ann, 21, his
wife, and Mr. and Mrs. Eu
gene J. Brown, of Seattle,
took a long look at the beach
sand at Rooster Rock park.
Then as he swung over the
freeway he spotted an open
ing in the traffic.
Smoothly and quickly De
ment settled the plane onto
the pavement and1 taxied off
the busy highway.
The pilot said he hopes to
get permission from the Civil
Aeronautics administration to
take off from the highway
today. The Multnomah county
sheriff's office promised to
block off traffic if the CAA
granted takeoff clearance.

MAIL TRIBUNE, MedforJ. Oregon, Tuesday, August 19, IMS I
California Engineer
Says Cost of Lining
Canal Tremendous
San Francisco (LTD A
California water engineer says
it would cost a tremendous
amount of money to line ca
nals in the Imperial Irrigation
District to prevent seepage of
water.
" The engineer, M. J. Dowd
of El Centro, Calif., testified
to this effect Monday in the
Colorado river water suit.
As a rebuttal witness for
California, Dowd was counter
ing assertions by Arizona that
lining the canals would save
324,000 annual acre feet ,of
water.
Dowd said it would be "im
practicable" to line 1,800
miles of irrigation canals in
the Imperial District because
it would cost 72 million dol
lars. He said lining the canals
would not save 324,000 annual
acre feet of water as Arizona
claims but 212,000 acre feet.
He said this amount of water
would make possible reclama
tion of an extra 50,000 acres
of land at a cost of $1,700 an
acre.
Linings Ineffective
O. L. Fudge, general super
intendent for the Imperial Ir
rigation District, testified that
the cement linings would not
work:
The reason they would not
work, he said, is that the soil,
swells when wet and causes
breaks in the cement joints.
He cited his experience with
several lined sections' in exist
ence in the past 30 years. .
Earlier, Arizona lost an at
tempt to force California to
allow its own experts to watch
$40,000 worth of test drillings,
at four well sites in the Im
perial Irrigation District.
Special Master Simon H.
Rifkind said he did not have
the power to order California
to open the tests to Arizona.
But he indicated he would at
tach" "little or negligible
weight" to evidence from tests
at which Arizona was barred.
Cites Opposite Case
California is drilling the
test wells to determine the
possible existence of under
ground water. The state hopes
to gather evidence for coun
tering Arizona's claims that
between 400 000 and 700,000
acre feet of water could be
pumped from the ground each
year.
Northcutt Ely, chief Cali
fornia counsel, noted that
Arizona had not invited Cali
fornia to tests in which elec
trical currents were run
through the ground in order to
find layers of possible water
bearing soil.
He said he hoped Rifkind
would apply the same stand
ards to the Arizona tests as he
would use in relation to the
California drillings.
Arizona filed the water suit
before the U.S. Supreme
Court in 1952 to quiet title to
2,800,000 annual acre feet of
Colorado river plus the flow
of the Gila river, representing
roughly another one million
acre feet. The state is also
seeking to amend its pleading
to claim still another million
acre feet.
