Dr. Robert Buck, the 1957 medalist, and Alan Holmes, reigning Rogue Valley , club champ, each turned in one below par 71s in yesterday's advance qualifying for the men's division. Marvin Clark, Grants Pass, defender in his class, headed senior men's qualifiers with a 73 and Sue Devoe, Medford, paced the women's field with a score of 81. Out-of-town golfers in men's and women's divisions and senior men unable to tour the links yesterday were on the Medford greens and fairways today to determine their po sitions in flights for match play which opens Thursday. Sixty-four will gain the titular bracket in the regular men's tourney while 16 each will be in the women's and senior men's championship flights.

Phil Getchell, Med ford, is defending men's di vision champ and was not re quired. Clark waived his auto matic seeding among the sen iors in the effort to gam a medal prize but was virtually certain of a championship flight berth with his 73. He was in strong running for medalist. Miss DeVoe, ladies victor in 1954 and a past medalist, went out in 43 yesterday but covered the back nine in fine 38 despite three-putting on the last green for a bogey She was followed yesterday by seven times SO champion Mrs. W.

Yesterday's qualifiers in cluded home and out-of-town players in all divisions but the bulk of visiting entrants in men's and women's divisions were to qualify today. Satur day through Tuesday were the qualifying days for RVCC players and locals gunning for championship flights were re quired to tour their 18-hole rounds yesterday. None Declare The tournament apparently missed attracting some of the state's "name" players when none of the contenders in yes terday's National Amateur qualifying in Portland de clared his first round for the Southern Oregon. That means of qualifying for the Labor day holiday affair had been set up by the Rogue Valley tourney committee. Holmes putted well and re corded an eagle 3 on the par 5 No. 7 hole inplaying his. 18 holes yesterday. He had a bird on No. 2 green but bogied Nos. 1 and 13. Both he and Buck missed opportunity on No. 18 to wind up with a lower card. Buck bogied the hole after a good drive off the tee. Holmes pulled his approach wide to the left of the green but still managed a par on the hole. Clark was 4 four over par after five holes but three un der from the sixth green on. There will be matches Thursday in all but the men's second through fourth flights and women's fourth and low er brackets, .' - Showboat AABC Victor Portland -0IPD- Showboat of Beaverton became the state AABC baseball champion for the second year in a row on Tuesday night by defeating American ,Buyers Club 17-6.

LOUISVILLE, KY. DISTRIBUTED BY NATIONAL DISTILLERS PRODUCTS CO. 86 PROOF. Man Said Now Able To Control Weather Within Limitations Editor's note: This is the second of two dispatches providing the latest information on what science is doing to control our weather. By LOUIS CASSELS UPI Correspondent Washington -(UPD- Man has always dreamed of control ling the weather. And within strict limitations, he has learned ways of doing it. "A straw hat," said meteor ologist Norman Hagen of the U.S. Weather Bureau, "pro vides weather control for a man's head. An air condition ing system provides weather control for a whole building. On a somewhat larger scale, experiments of the past few years have demonstrated that "rainmaking". is possible in certain areas and under cer tain circumstances. Where super-cooled, moisture-laden clouds are moving up the windward slope of the mountains, it is possible to "seed" these clouds with sil ver iodide crystals and in crease the normal rainfall by about 15 per cent. Seeding Not Successful But cloud-seeding has , not proved successful in con trolled tests over flatlands or in normally arid areas. Since these are the very areas where people are most anx ious to stimulate greater rain fall, large-scale weather con trol by cloud-seeding does not seem to be very promising. It is not surprising that man should find it exceeding ly difficult to tamper with the weather. The forces which nature bandies about in pro ducing the weather stagger human imagination. "A simple summer thunder storm," said Hagen, ?'genei ates enough energy to make WHO HA THE LONGEST NAME IN U.S. ATHLETICS ?

MM A.FINE KENTUCKY STRAIGHT. BOURBON finest bourbon better even 3$ 4, 5 Qt. Ft. a hydrogen bomb seem like a firecracker." Does this mean that weath er control is impossible? Certainly not, said Dr. Harry Wexler, director of re search for the weather bu reau. "There is no question that weather control of some sort will emerge from the exploration of space." Could Focus Rays One possibility is that satel lite vehicles might be used to "hang a giant magnifying glass in space. It could be used to focus the sun's rays on a particular part of the earth's surface, just as a hand magnifying glass focuses a burning beam of sunlight on a leaf. If the magnifying glass in space were focused on the Arctic Circle, for example, i might thaw out the Arctic ice pack. That would radically change North America's weather. It would put an end to the win ter cold waves that pour down from Canada. Of course it might also raise ocean lev els enough to drown ports like New York and Sn Fran cisco. "If man does learn how to control the weather, he will have to be mighty careful what he does," said Hagen. "It is fairly easy to compute the immediate effect of a par ticular change. But you have to think about all the side- effects too." Could Create Screen There's another way in which space vehicles might be used to alter the weather, They could scatter particles of light-absorbing materials to create a sort of screen that would reduce the amount of sunlight falling on a particu lar part of the earth's surface. This technique could be used benignly to modify' the hot climate of the tropics, c ma liciously to destroy the agri culture of an enemy country. Some large-scale weather control projects could be un dertaken without the aid of space vehicles. But they would be enormously diffi cult and expensive. One possibility that has long attracted weather scien tists is diverting the warm "Japanese current" of the Pa cific ocean into the Arctic, perhaps by building a huge dam somewhere off the Aleu tians. The ice cover of the Arctic ocean is only six or seven feet thick, on the average. With a warm current running be neath it, this ice pack would eventually melt. This might make Alaska a competitor for Florida's tourist trade. But as mentioned earlier, it might also put Times Square 'into competition with Venice for the gondola trade. t Another project, which is at least theoretically feasible, is aimed at preventing hurri canes from spawning in the South Atlantic and , Carib bean. ...
