Navy Develops Radar For Hasty Detection Of Enemy Missiles Washington - (UPD-The Navy has developed experimental radar capable of detecting enemy ballistic missiles almost as soon as they leave their launching pads 5,000 miles away. In announcing the project the Navy said the new device also could detect nuclear ex plosions at similar distances and "could be employed as one means of discovering viol ations of a nuclear test ban." Dr. William J. Thaler, 33-year-old Navy scientist in charge of the project, said the new radar could be developed into an operational defense warning system against bal listic missile attack within a few years. In United Stales Thaler would not say where the experimental, radar is in stalled exept that it is in the continental United States. He answered "no comment" when asked if any Russian missile launchings had been detected The new device is called "high frequency ionospheric back scatter radar." Its de velopment means that Thaler has overcome one long stand ing limitation of radar that it can see only in a straight line. His experimental device, by bouncing radio waves off the ionosphere, can see beyond the horizon and in effect all the way to enemy missile launch ing areas across the oceans. Theoretically, the device could detect a missile at any distance. However, the normal range of an intercontinental ballistic missileis 5,000 miles. Double Warning Time Thaler said he hoped the new radar could double the 15-minute warning time now expected in the event of mis sile attack. That warning would come from "convention al" radar being installed in the arctic. The Navy scientist reveal ed that this device, which he called a "bread board" model, already had a long record of successful experiments For example, he said, it de tected the Argus atomic ex plosions which took place 300 miles above the South Atlantic last August and September, Application for Bank At Pendleton Filed Pendleton - (UPD - An appli cation for a second state chartered bank here has been filed in Salem with the State Superintendent of Banks.

Watkins The Balfish Is Specialized It is doubtful, that of all the 20,000 odd varieties of fish that have their homes in the seas, any have attained a greater digression in speciali zation than the Batfish. Here is a creature that crawls like a toad, swims something like a crippled fish, has a long, pointed snout like a fox, and a skin as warty as a toad's. It was" only natural to have named this fish after the bat, for the body is triangular in shape, sloping sharply back to a tiny, rudder-like tail. The Batfish "walks", or more correctly hobbles, on pe culiar finger-like projections under the ugly little body; these are actually extensions of the ventral and pectoral fins. The; body is depressed, with peculiar, paddle-shaped fins on' the extreme rear of the body. The over-all color of the Batfish is brick-red. Long Snout ' The long snout in the com mon Batfish, if such a -creature can' be called "common", is long, narrow , and animal like. The mouth is small. They are related to the so-called "Angler Fish," but do not have the overhead, natural "bait" that the Angler fish uses to lure prey within strik ing distance of the mouth. In the Batfish clan, there is a "short-nosed" variety; his nose is just a "button." They are tropical fish, usually well un der a foot in length, spending their entire lives in shallow water. The Batfish has a peculiar stance while at rest. It sits in the mud, sort of propped up by its stubby tail, its head raised; it looks as if it was about to crawl up into the light; up from the mud and ooze of by-gone centuries. The fish's shape and actions seem reminiscent of prehistor ic fish who, away back in -geological history, in the age known as the Paleozoic, were struggling to escape to the dryland; or to retire farther into the ancient mud. Back then, many back-boned crea tures crawled from the ooze, but the Batfish remained in the sea. Either then, or in the time since, he and his fellows have become highly specializ ed; or sadly degenerate; whichever way we prefer to look at it. During the intervening time the Batfish has develop ed some mightly peculiar char acteristics. It even has a "voice"; it has peculiar "legs" on which it pulls itself along. It has a snout like "a fox! bright, beady eyes, and a skin as warty as a cucumber. What manner of creature is this; a living fish whose his tory is as little known today as it was before mankind had a written language? No one can say for sure whether its shape and purpose leads onward, up out of the mud, or backward, into the ooze, in the ocean's bottom. (Released by The Register and Tribune Syndicate, 1959) Airlines Files To Extend Service South to Nevada West Coast Airlines Mon day filed with the Civil Aero nautics board a route applica tion to extend its service south from Boise and Salt Lake City to Las Vegas, Nev. Two new route segments are requested to Las Vegas. One would be from Boise via Elko and Ely, Nev., and the other from Salt Lake City via Provo and Ely. The company proposes daily roundtrip schedules in each directionto be flown with the Fairchild F-27 40-passenger turbojet transport. If West Coast's present certificate is amended by the CAB to allow such service, Spokane and other Inland Em pire cities would receive for the first time direct single carrier service to the Nevada resort city. On Sept. 1, West Coast will start service to Salt Lake City, Ogden and Logan, as the re sult of a recent CAB award. Service to Omak, Wash., will also start on Sept. 1, with service to Lakeview and Burns scheduled for Sept. 15. The company presently has an application before the board to connect Boise and Salt Lake City with its present coast route serving Sacra mento and Oakland-San Fran cisco via Winnemucca and Reno,, and via Ely and Elko. Average U.S. corn crop is about three billion bushels.

Wall Street Chatter New York - (LTD -The con sensus in Wall Street is that the exchange visits of Presi dent Eisenhower and Premier Khrushchev will result in no dramatic softening of East West tensions. "Even if the -meetings should lead eventually to a partial thaw, involving a re duction in defense expendi tures, this almost certainly would not come about for a long time," says Standard & Poor's. It sees no reason, either diplomatic or otherwise, to depart from a rather fully in vested position. However, it cautions investors to be high ly selective in making new purchases. Shearson, Hammill & Co. also says a cutback in defense spending does not seem a near-term prospect, but it adds that the change in psy chology brought about by an nouncement of the exchange visits canot be ignored. It recommends a policy of caution. Bohdex says any thaw in the cold war could be bearish on the aircrafts and elec tronics, both of which are deeply involved in national defense projects. It says this prospect further dims an al ready not-overly-bright tech nical picture for the aircrafts. Bache & Co. says while re laxation of international ten- ODD PLACE.
