Time Said at Hand To Draft Laws for Control of Space Washington -(CPU- Are new International laws needed to control traffic in space? They are, and now is the time to draft them, according to Andrew G. Haley, presi dent of the International As tronautic Federation. Haley believes that entirely new legal concepts must be developed to cover such ques tions as how far a nation's sovereignty extends outward into space. He points out that each THE DANMOORE HOTEL 1217 SW Morrison St. PORTLAND, OREGON All transient guests. All those who come, return. Rates not high, not low. Free garage, TV's and radios. Reputation for cleanliness. Reservations by long distance phone refunded on request upon arrival country now claims the "air space" over its boundaries and the right to control any plane movements therein. But can this claim be extended beyond the atmosphere into the airless realm where space satellites operate? Boundaries Ignored As a practical matter, Rus sia's Sputniks and America's Explorers and Vanguard have been ignoring national bound aries in their orbited circuits of the globe. But Haley notes that these are "harmless" scientific satellites. What will happen when nations start sending aloft satellites with military potential? Will the United States claim the right to try to destroy any Russian satellite whose orbit passes over U. S. soil? Or vice versa? Haley also believes inter national laws should be de veloped promptly to deal with the potential danger that "large chunks of metal" from spent satellites may start dropping on the earth's cities. One solution, he says, would be to forbid any nation to send an object into space until it has perfected means of controlling it and bringing it to a safe landing on earth.. Favors Laws He also favors laws to pro hibit any attempt to hit the moon with rockets especial ly rockets with hydrogen war heads as some scientists have proposed until manned ve hicles have investigated the moon to determine if there are any living creatures there.

Williams Sees Through Usual Fallacy of Seaman Sees World Editor's note: This is an other in the series of artic les by Jeff Williams, son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas last week end completed a trip around the world. The following article was writ ten in Manila while young Williams was serving as a cabin boy aboard a Nor wegian freighter. Manila Aug. 13, the Nor wegian Freighter, MS Tun gus, left Saigon and I began my new tour of duty as cabin boy. The crew was composed of young men my own age, except for the officers, and everyone spoke excellent side and swam to the outrig gers for a boatside that. They were less interested in selling theid goods than they were in trying to talk us into giv ing them soap and tooth paste. The girl I was talking to guessed, right off that I was an American and wanted me to come to her house that Smoke 'Fallout' Can Be Reduced ; Corvallis and cinder ' The smoke 'fallout" nuisance English, thus making it easyJthat comes frm sawmill for me to fit into the swing wood waste burners can- be of things materially reduced with im- We arrived at Cebu, in the fF "u 0raJ?on? b" middle of the Philippine Is- ,e lu ffl'uir lorn is itti hvntiAn nnr hum. land group, on the 16th and that evening I went ashore. This is where I began to see through a common fallacy that seamen really see the world. I venture to say that most of them see it through the bottom of a beer glass in the first bar they come to. But then it must be under stood that often they are in port for a short time, and they have" their duty on the ship that it is hard to get away for any time. So I won't make any observation about the country and its way of life because I'm sure it can't be judged by the seaport towns. , Our midships tanks had to be cleaned in readiness for a load of cocoanut oil and so a work gang of muscular Fili pinos came aboard with a load of bamboo poles and in a twinkling erected a scaffold and had set about chipping, scraping, and cleaning the hold. That went on for two days and most of the night. We sailed on the 19th, and arrived in San Carlos on the 20th, and were greeted by outriggers with pretty girls selling beer and bananas. This was a tempting threesome, so a gang of us went over the ing of mill wood leftovers, a new Oregon State college research bulletin reports. About 30 to 50 per cent of every log run through a saw mill is leftover material slabs, trim, bark, sawdust, edgings' and shavings. Much of this is now going into the burners, but in the future it should go into the profitable manufacture of wood prod ucts, the bulletin notes. Sawmill owners pay for the entire tree and entire utili zation should be the ultimate goal, according to the re searchers. The study of air pollution problems ' connected with wood waste burning and wood residue utilization is being conducted by OSC engineer ing and forestry staff mem bers under a U. S. public health service grant. A report of work to date was published this month by the engineering experiment station and copies are now available from the college on request. Authors are R. W. Boubel, Martin Northcraft, and Milosh Popovich, engin eering, and Antone Van Vliet, forestry. Introducing the "Linear Look OLDSMOB I LE for '59 o totally new... so typically Olds ! lut f.ir ti.

"Yes", she said, "You can't miss my house, it is under a big mango tree." I reckon I looked under 500 mango trees that night before I gave up! We steamed off the next day, and in the afternoon anchored about a mile off shore of Sagay, and soon some barges came out with a load of sugar for us. Two slings were kept going stead ily for two days taking up almost two tons of sugar sacks' with every load. During the evenings they staged a cock fight on the decks, putting an old timer against a young an inexperienced cock, a very fast, and colorful sight. ' We steamed south all day through rugged and ominous looking islands, and on the morning of the 25th were ready to anchor outside the harbor of Nasipit, a small lumber miU town. The aver age depth of this harbor is 300 fathoms and as our an chor chain is only 50 fathoms, we were jockying around, looking for a rise in the boom that we could hit with our anchor. The muscular ship's carpen ter, Tommermann, stood by the hugh brake which con trolled the anchor chain; the first mate stood at the bow, ready with the com mand. Then the word! Drop Anchor! Tommermann released the brake and the anchor plunged downward, the chain rattling behind. It continued to pay out faster and faster, and the smell of hot metal was strong. The chief realized they had missed the hiU. Await Next Order Tommermann's m u s c 1 e s bulged as he cranked the brake down, but it was too late, for nothing could stop the chain now. Smoke and rust enveloped Tommermann, but he stood awaiting the next order, but in its place came a loud crack the chain had reached its limit. It stopped so suddenly that it sent a shudder through the whole ship. They had missed the bot tom completely and now the lining was burned out, and the anchor couldn't be hoisted un til it was replaced. Two hours later we hoisted our anchor, and went into the harbor and tied our stern to the dock from a distance. By the time I got ashore that night the boys had a par ty in full swing. Pretty soon Otto and I wandered up the dock road. The first house we came to we decided to pay a visit. Grandma was a bit taken back, but we bowed low and offered her a drink, but she disdained our rum in favor of the stubby cigar she had clenched in her teeth. The Pappa told us how he . had just returned for an unjust prison sentence, and com plained bitterly about the present Phillippine Govern ment. We listened in sympa thy, then went on again. Tailor's Shop Next time we stopped at a tailor's shop to listen to him play the guitar. Otto re mained, and I went a little farther, on. I bought some cocoanuts, and stopped at a house to talk with a man and his wife. He took his hatchet and opened the nuts for me By now a dozen people had gathered around, so we all sat on our haunches in the moonlight and had a cocoa nut feast. When I got to the dock to go to the ship there was no one around to take me out, but there was a small outrig ger tied there. The events are not too clear, but I gave a slight spring (perhaps it w a s a six foot drop) into the back of the outrigger, and without a mo ment's hesitation the thing sank, and I was up to my neck in water. I was mad, and be gan to swim to the ship when someone arrived and took me out in their boat. The next day we loaded lumber and logs all day. We sailed northwards that night and arrived back in Cebu again on the 27th, pausing for a couple of days to take on more sugar and fill the tanks with cocoanut oil. The Fili pino workers have some very interesting script tatooed on their chests and arms. Here are a few examples: "Lady Killer", "Only You", and the best of all was "Son of Fury, one time". We left for Manila at noon on the 30th and surged through warm and clear Phil lippine Sea with flying fish darting out from beneath our bow, and porpoises frolicking alongside. We arrived in Manila on the 31st and until Sept. 3 were in port. I wandered at random through this bustling city. The effects of the war time bombing are still to be seen on the edge of the city, and I saw some roofless ruins of a cathedral. Only one tower remained, and spilling down from ledges and niches in the wall were flowering vines and creepers in a beautiful display of col ors. In the center of what had been the main aisle was a vegetable garden. Even amongst this flowering in vasion, the church ruins main- MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Thursday, October 2, 1951 3A tained a quiet dignity.
