Harrisburg, Pa. (Science
Service) Crimson Lady, Girl
Friend and Flair will rule the
garden roost this autumn as
the new All-American award
winning chrysanthemums.
Under trail in locations
across the country during the
past year, the three mums
have come through as the
highest scoring and most sat

earlv enough for the most
northern states and free
blooming in the south, W. Kay
Hastings, executive secretary
of the All-American Mum Se

here.
Crimson Lady Is a cushion
mum, with double flowers al
most three inches across that
are a rich, deep red. Girl
Friend bears four-inch flowers
on long, two-foot stems. The
unusual color of this mum is
described as a "bewitching
dawn pink" varying from
flesh to peach and apricot

flower center.
Touch of Lavender
Flair adds a touch of lav-
endar to the new threesome.
It is described as 18 inches
high with a spread of about
30 inches and three and one-
half inch double cactus flow
ers.
The 1959 award winners
will be available for planting
from April to June. Only
plants from tested, disease-
free foundation stocks carry
the red, white and blue AAMS
certification tags.

Plans for New
Commission Told.
Organizational p r o c edure
toward forming a separate
recreation and parks commis
sion for the county will be
started soon, County Judge
Earl Miller said today.
He said he had obtained in
formation from Marion coun
, ty authorities on organization
of its parks and recreation
commission. Tentative plans
along the same organization
al lines as Marion county's
commission will be presented
the district attorney's office
for a ruling on its legality,
Miller said. Then the county
court will discuss the pro
posal, formulate a plan and
make appointments.
Marion county has a nine
member commission and this
first year of its existence is
operating on a $800 budget.
However, the county court
there said this will probably
be increased during the next
fiscal year.
During Wednesday's plan
ning commission meeting. Mil
ler obtained approval of the
commission on organizing a
parks and recreational com
mission separate from the
planning commission. The
planning commission now has
a subcommittee on parks and
recreation.
A parks and recreation pro
gram is of such a broad scope
that a separate body is need
ed to handle such a program,
Miller said.
Minute droplets of various
liquids can be coated with
gelatin- Dyes, so protected,
can be applied to paper to
take the place of carbon. It
is proposed to use the method
for perfumes, unstable drugs
and photographic papers. Two
part adhesives could be ap
plied to paper and mixed by
rubbing on the surfaces to
be joined.

Calls for
has to be some ground for
agreement. There has to be
some give and take."
The senator, long an ad
vocate of comprehensive .de
velopment of the Columbia by
the federal government, wants
to include both private and
public utility plans in his
deliberations.
"First let's get the private
power companies ideas on
what they are going to build,'
said Magnuson. Then the
PUDs and the municipalities.
And then the federal govern
ment."
When conflicts arise that
can't be resolved, Manguson
advocates putting these pro
jects aside momentarily and
going forward with what can
be agreed upon.
Wants John Day Funds
This year in Congress, Mag
nuson said he will try to get
a substantial amount of fed
eral appropritions to advance
construction of the John Day
dam on the lower Columbia,
plus funds to start the Lower
Monumental dam on the low
er Snake river. He also hopes
to get planning money to start
plans for Little Goose dam
on the lower Snake.
"But after these projects
are finished, where do we
go?" Magnuson.
He is hopeful that a report
he understands the Canadian
government is preparing will
end threats of a Canadian di
version of the upper Columbia
river and open the door to
agreement between the two
governments on building Lib
by dam near the border in
western Montana, and the Ar
row Lakes storage project just
over the border in British
Columbia on the Columbia.
The International Joint
Commission, whose U.S. chair
man is Douglas McKay, is
working on these problems
with the Canadians.
Magnuson, a member of the
Senate Appropriations Com
mittee, thinks the climate this
year will be favorable in Con
gress for public works spend
ing. He isn't concerned about
whether the president's bud
get seeks to hold the line
against starting any new
projects to reduce spending.
308 Review Report
' The starting basis, Magnu
son indicated, for consulations
among the Northwest senators
will be the 308 review report
which the Corps of Engineers
put out last month. That re
port will be. coming up for
final consideration by the
Corps Board of Engineers for
Rivers and Harbors Mar. 10
Sen. Richard L. Neuberger
has already introduced legis
lation to authorize 13 projects
recommended in that report
for expanding Willamette Val
ley flood control and power
development.
- The Engineers report sug
gests construction of a high
dam at Mountain Sheep in
the Middle Snake river. Most
members of Congress have
shied away from indorsing
this recommendation as yet,
Some still hold out for high
Hells Canyon, some prefer
high Nez Perce, some are in
trigued with high Pleasant
Valley but all these diver
gent views are finding little
expression now because there
is no sense of agrement be-
twen many legislators.
This is what Magnuson
wants to achieve an agree
ment that will permit some
action, if not agreement on an
entire detailed plan for the
Snake. Then he hopes to put
through an ominibus author
ization bill covering the pro
jects agreed upon by the
Northwesterners at their
forthcoming conferences.
Commission Chairman
Submits Resignation
Jerry Poulos said today that
he has submitted his resigna
tion as chairman of Medford's
parks and recreation com
mission. Poulos, formerly station
manager at California Oregon
Television company's KBES
TV station here, was recently
named national sales repre
sentative for California Ore
gon's three stations.
He was one of Mayor John
Snider's original appointees to
the commission after its crea
tion last fall. He was elected
chairman at its organizational
meeting.
He said today his new com
pany duties would require his
spending a lot of time away
from Medford.

Five-Pound Gadget Called
May Revolutionize the Power Industry
Washington -(UPD- The gov
ernment has come up with a
trifling little gadget that may
revolutionize the power indus
try. It is a five-pound device
roughly resembling an old
fashioned flat-iron. Its de
scendants could make obso
lete all the cumbersome and
costly plants now supplying
the power needs of man.
This gadget, called Snap
III, was , announced by the
atomic energy commission
Friday by way of the White
House. It is a device for con
verting heat energy directly
into electrical energy.
It doesn't bother with steam,
turbines, generators, or any
rotating machinery whatso
ever.
Snap III is, moreover, just
one of many approaches to
the dream of direct conver
sion. Its novelty, if any, lies
in the fact that it uses a radio
active material as a heat
source. This makes it immedi
ately useful as an auxiliary
power source in space where
there isn't any oxygen to burn
ordinary fuels.
Old Principle Involved
The Russians for years have
been converting the heat of
burning kerosene to electri
city to run refrigerators and
radios.
The principle is the old one
of . the thermocouple. It was
discovered back in "the 19th
century that when two dis

The AEC called Snap III
"a highly significant achieve
ment." But it was only a
"proof of principle device"
which means the AEC expects
more refined versions to pro
duce more fantastic results.
Work on Better Versions
Fantastic is the word. Snap
III, though its capacity is only
aroundfive watts, can turn
out as much power in 280
days as 290 times its weight
in conventional batteries. It

and Snap II. A dozen U.S. in

oping thermoelectric devices.
The Navy is supporting some
of these projects.
Snap III employs about
l-84th of an ounce of radio
active polonium 210 as a heat
source. Polonium 210 is pro
duced in atomic reactors. An
other potential heat source is
cerium 144, which is a by
product of atomic fission.
Theoretically all the wastes
of atomic power and produc
tion plants could be so used.

Another Banner
Year for Pacific
Tourism Expected
San Francisco - (UPD - It
looks like ' another banner
year for Pacific area tourism
Items:
Five new superliners
are due to be buift for Pacific
service
Jet aircraft will be in
troduced in July
Hotels in and around the
Pacific Basin plan to increase
their total number of beds
by 2,000 to 40,000
All told, the Pacific Area
Travel Association forecasts
that .600,000 persons will be
traveling around the Pacific
this year,
All that keeps the 600,000
figure from shooting higher is
a lack of hotels to shelter
travelers, PATA said
This problem will be aired
at the Eighth Annual Pacific
travel conference scheduled
for Singapore Jan. 26-30
Twenty-two countries, islands,
states, territories and colonies
in the Pacific will be repre
sented at the PATA-sponsored
conference.
More beds will be needed
as school telchers, retired
folk, students and business
men with pockets filled by
continued prosperity look for
new recreation and trade.
In 1958 airlines posted
traffic gains of up to 35 per
cent. Steamship . passenger
traffic was up 13 per cent
over 1957.
So many people want to
visit the Pacific PATA ex
pects airlines to boost their
seating capacity by nearly
one-third. Flights have trip
led in the last seven years,
Qantas : Empire Airways
will be the first to put pure
jets into service, using Boe
ing 707s. Canadian Pacific
Airlines already is employing
prop-jet Bristol Britannias on
its Pacific runs.
But steamship companies
also will be bidding for the
tourists, offering new super-
liners oh which to relax.
New Liners Due
Orient & Pacific lines will
complete and- operate this
year the 45,000-ton liner Can
berra and the 40,000 ton Or-

And Nippon Yusen Kaisha
Line (NKY) will build two
950-passenger liners of 22,-
800 gross ton each for serv
ice in 1961 and 1962 from
Japan to here and Los An
