A Problem of Gravity
What 13 gravity?
Shucks, everyone knows what it is. It is the
force that makes objects fall when they are
dropped ; it is the force which keeps us from float
ing off into space, or the earth from scooting
away from the sun.
But the exact nature of the force how it is
generated, how it works, why it works is one of
the major unsolved mysteries now facing science.
And, up to this point, science isn't much near
er a solution than was Aristotle, who contended
that materials fell because of a quality of "heavi
ness," or rose because of a quality of "lightness."
This described the effects, all right, but did
no more to explain the nature of gravity than dp
tiie descriptive computations of today's physi
GRAVITY can be defined in terms of what it
does, and it has been,
ton, the "discoverer" of
of gravity many years ago, and most of them are
applicable today.
And before him, Galileo's experiments had
formed the basis of the

stick or stone to use as
started carrying home game on his shoulders, he
has been in a ceaseless battle against gravity. This
battle has resulted in the sled, the wheel, the rails
and surfaced roadways. It has resulted in most of
the basic inventions, the pully and lever and in
clined plane.
This battle, however, has been against a force
which is just as necessary to life as is the air we
breath more so, for in fact without gravity,
there would be no air on earth, and no earth
either, for that matter. '
COME men have given thought to negating
gravity. Roger Babson has even set up a foun
dation to study it and to seek an anti - gravitic
force so far without success.
Will it ever be conquered? We'll simply have
to wait for the answer to
But it may be. As scientists probe ever deeper
into our universe, and' learn more about what
makes it the way it is, they may some day stumble
on to the secret of the force that holds everything
together. And it may well be related to the bind
ing force of the atom and the still imperfectly-
understood force of magnetism. Perhaps all of
them are just different embodiments of the same
force.
IF AN "anti-gravitic force" is within the realm
of possibility, and if its secret ever is dis
covered, it will make more changes in human life
than any single discovery so far, more than fire,
or the wheel, or steam, or electricity, or even
atomic energy. ?
It would make mankind undisputably the
master of his worldly environment, and probably,
too, master of the solar system or even t1 uni
verse. This is exciting speculation.
But it remains, at this point, nothing but spec
ulation. And how much more productive it would
be if mankind had equal hope, and expended
equal effort, in the problem of how to get along
as human beings. E.A. .
Needed: Bigger Hoops
We don't like to brag-...
But we've outwitted if not mastered the hula
hoop. We admit we're exhausted. We admit that
now that we've successfully kept it in orbit for
a minute we never intend to again. We admit also
that a three year old does it better the first time
out.
But we have a message for adults. Nobody
else should have to go through this to find out.
It isn't the same for youngsters and adults.
Though thickish of middle we studied the
neighborhood youngsters and decided that we
could, after all, wiggle fast enough to keep the
hoop flying. After all, the kids don't strain them
selves. They revolve the hoop at the rate of about
30 r.p.m. ...
FOUND we could keep up the same pace
but the hoop fell repeatedly. Not even one
orbit. ...
With a coronary-inviting effort, though, we
finally learned the secret. An adult needs more
r.p.m. to do the job because he's thicker.
A tad with a 20-inch waist can manage fine. An
adult with a 36-inch waist, because of some law of
centrifugal force, needs about 50 r.p.m. if he uses
the same size hoop. It' has something to do with
the ratio of the axis to the radius of the orbit. The
greater the ratio, the less the speed needed for
orbiting. Because of this a waist-line in the mid
30s is about the limit for even a fairly short effort.
What's needed as long as young ones are
going to keep daring their folks is a diet, or, bet
ter, a bigger hoop to give the adults the same axis
radius ratio as the small fry. Of course a little
more wind wouldn't hurt, either. Salem Capital

Asks Action
To - the Editor: I was
shocked when I read Sunday
of the Gestapo tactics being
used by the Teamsters' union
right here in Medford in an
attempt to ruin a small, family-owned,
local business. I
made a thorough personal in
vestigation of my own, con
tacting employees, customers
and union members, and find
that the actual situation is
even more disgraceful and un
fair than indicated in the pa
per. I decided to try to do
something about this appall
ing situation and there must
be hundreds of others who
will join me.
I like my present dairy
products supplier, but now I
am switching to Gilman's. I
understand they have had sev
eral cancellations all from
union members who sincerely
"regretted" quitting but who
were frightened by the Team
sters' threatening letter.
Wives of union members said
they were afraid their hus
bands would lose their jobs if
they continued to use Gilman
products.
There are hundreds of us in
this valley whom the Team
sters or any other bunch like
them cannot intimidate. We
can easily make up for aU
Gilman's lost customers. Let's
do it! Talk to your neighbor.
Call Gilman's today!
We all look with horror at
the Hoffas and their thugs
but somehow we never feel
that it can happen to us. It
can. The situation at Gilman's
proves it. By the same token,
this is where the thugs and
racketeers should be attacked
right here at home, before
they are so entrenched that
they can tell us all what to
do.
Moral support and lip serv
ice are all right, but action
is better. Let's act!

By mid - August, however,
the price index was down to

ing 83 per cent of parity.
. The income report today
was contained in the regular
September issue of the depart
ment's periodical "The Farm
Income Situation.'
Department economists es
timated farmers realized net
farm income from January
September 1958 at an annual
rate of about $13 billion com
pared with about $10,900,
000,000 for the same period
one year earlier.
Estimate Basis
The estimate was compiled
by using preliminary figures
for July and August and
adopting a guesswork figure
for September assuming it
will show the usual seasonal
change from August.
The 19 per cent increase for
the nine-month period was
due, economists said, to high
er average prices, increased
marketings, and larger soil
bank payments. These factors
more than offset a further ih
crease in production ex
penses. For the first eight months
of 1958, the report added,
farmers' cash receipts totaled
nearly $19,500,000,000, 10.5
per cent more than in the
same period last year.
Deadline Tonight
For West Coast
Pilots' Strike
Chicago -DPD- The Air Line
Pilots association in Chicago
has set a deadline of 11:59
p.m. Wednesday for a strike
of its member pilots against
West Coast Airlines in a con
tract dispute over pay rates
and other factors in flying
the line's new turbo-powered
F-27 aircraft.
The ALPA said 88 pilots
would be involved in such a
walkout against the . , line,
which operates in Idaho, Ore
gon and Washington.
C. M. Sayen, president of
the ALPA, said the line had
tried to get the pilots "under
threat of discharge" to fly
the new aircraft without raise
in pay and without establish
ing rules or working condi
tions. Efforts Deadlocked
A statement from Sayen
said: "The company was fully
acquainted with the pilots' po
sition and very clearly in
formed that attempts to force
the pilots under threat to fly
their aircraft without an
agreement would precipitate
a cessation of service on the
entire airline."
The ALPA said negotiations
to cover the rules for flying
the new aircraft, as well as
a pension plan, began last
Nov. 19 under the Railway
Labor Act, and "normal" , ef

Main Issue
Economics is not an area of
discussion in which Eisen
hower feels most at home. He
is likely to enter it, however,
because Democratic leaders
and their labor associates evi
dently intend that business
conditions shall be a prime
1958 issue. It will not be "as
some of them expected. Nine
months ago Leon H. Keyser
ling predicted that unemploy
ment would be seven million
in the first quarter of this
year. Keyserling was chief
economic advisor to President
Harry S. Truman.
Eisenhower, of course, will
depend wholly upon his eco
nomic advisors in his 1958
compaign speeches. He is ho
economist, himself. Confront
ed on taking office in 1953
with the ' economic controle
enacted after outbreak of the
Korean War, Eisenhower
abolished them after discus

big decision having been tak

Edilorial Comment
EXPENSIVE FINANCING
The Medford school board
this week sold a $1,000,000
bond issue to finance construc
tion of schools and school ad
ditions in the district. The ef
fective interest rate on this is
sue will be 3.7409, according
to the Medford Mail Tribune.
The cost to the school dis
trict of servicing this bond is
sue will be $452,995, or almost
half the amount received from
sale of the bonds, according to
the Medford newspaper. That
makes the proposed school
project really expensive.
But why, some may ask, a
3.7409 rate on; tax-exempt
bonds? Most of us can re
member when 2V4 or 2V4 per
cent interest on such gilt
edged' issues was considered
tops If a municipal corpora
tion had to pay more it was
regarded as too expensive.
The answer lies in the crash
, that has occurred in the bond
market since last July. Liter
ally billions in bond values
have been erased in this de
cline, which still has not been
fully checked. A wide variety
of really high grade bonds to
day can be purchased for as
little as 90 cents on the dollar.
Conversely, the stock mar
ket is at an all-time high in
some categories. Stocks on the
New York and other exchang
es today are selling at prices
so high that dividends, do not
equal the revenue from bonds.
This is because the majority
of investors now have become
convinced that further serious
inflation is inevitable. With
the government committed to
another $12 billion deficit, and
no real attempt to curb fed
eral, state and local spending,
it begins to look as though
the sky is the limit. So invest
ors now are seeking hedges,
and the purchase of common
stocks is a traditional means
of beating dollar declines. :
, Bond buyers, however, have
taken a terrible beating over
the past 15 or 20 years. They
have received low interest in
return for the assumed "se
curity" of their investments,
then have been paid off on
maturity with 48-cent dollars.
Only a real sucker takes the
same bait twice.-Grants Pass
