Accomplishment'
Of Moon Shot
Shown in Dots
What was the magnitude of
the Russians accomplishment
in sending a "space labora
tory" around the moon?
Some conception may be
obtained from the representa
tion of the earth, as the black
circle in the - box directly
above, and that of the moon,
as the small dot in the bot
tom right-hand corner of this
page. o
, The sizes of the "earth" dot
; and the "moon" dot, and the
distance between them, are
rough approximations of the
relative sizes of the two
bodies and. their distance
apart.
Distance Varies
The earth is just under 8,000
miles in diameter; the moon
just over, 2,000 miles.
.The distance between the
two averages 238,857, but
varies from a minimum of
216,420 miles to a maximum
of 252,710 miles. The distance I
represented on this page is
about the average distance,
Complicating any moon
shot- is the fact that the earth
spins on its own axis once
each 24 hours, and at the
same time the moon is cir
cling the earth once each 27-
pius days. Both, of course, are
in orbit around the sun,
Orbit Not Circle
Still a further complication
is the fact that the moon's
orbit is not a circle, but is
an elipse-an irregular, serpen
tine one with the concave
side of the serpentine toward
the sun.
One writer has compared a
moon shot with a man riding
in a merry-go-round on top of
a moving train, using an air
rifle in an attempt to hit a
rubber ball swinging on the
end of a string around a
small boy's head a half-mile
away.
They said it couldn't

Lunik III Said -Still
Moving Away
; Moscow-RJPD-jRussia report
ed today that its Lunik III
was 78,293 miles from the
moon and 248,558 miles from
the earth, and still moving
away from both planets.
' The official Tass news ag
ency said the Soviet "inter
planetary station" is "contin
uing to move strictly on the
set orbit" planned for it. -
This meant that the Russian
rocket was continuing its
flight further into space, with
Tass adding that it would
reach a maximum distance
from earth of about 282,000
miles on Oct. 10. v
"Later, on, the ; interplane
tary station will begin to ap
proach the earth and will pass
it on Oct. 18 in a north-south
direction,"'Tass said.

Charges of Speeding
Against Groener Dropped
Salem-flJPD-Marion - County
Circuit Judge George Dun
can Tuesday dismissed a
speeding case against State
Sen. Richard Groener (D-Mil-waukie).
Groener had appealed a
conviction .in Woodburn jus
tice court last Oct. 16 where
he was found guilty of violat
ing the basic rule by going
65 miles per hour in a 45-mile-zone.
.. : v
Other Factors ,
Judge - Duncan said other
factors besides speed enter
into the basic rule.
; Two other cases involving
Groener are pending and are
no yet set for trial.
Employment Hits
High Level During
September in Area
; Some Openings Are
Unfilled in Area
t Local employment hit a
"very high level," perhaps the
highest in history, during Sep
tember w"ien mtny local busi
nesses including the fruit in
dustry reached the annual
peak of activity, according to
John J. Patton, manager of
the Medford state employ
ment office.
Patton said "job. seekers
were scarce and many job
openings, requiring specific
experience, remained unfilled
due to the lack of qualified
applicants."
Unfilled requests for pear
pickers, he said, reached the
highest number since World
War II because of a great de
crease in the number of mi
grants who usually do such
work. The reduction appears
to have been caused by work
now available in almost all
parts of the country, he added.
End of Season '
Patton said the end of the
fruit season will probably not
materially increase the num
ber of local workers available
for other jobs. "This is be
cause the proportion of local
men employed in this harvest
is small and most of the local
women leave the labor mar
ket at the end of the packing
season and do not seek other
employment," Patton said.
The next demand for help
in the fruit industry will.be
for tree pruners in the orch
ards and for various occupa
tions in gift box packing, he
noted. '
"There is, at present, no
indication of much slackening
of local employment unless
severe weather'' causes shut
downs in the lumber indus
try," Patton said.
Steel Strike
. The steel strike- has had
little effect on local employ
ment up to the present, but if
it continues, it can cause some
unemployment -later, the lo
cal manager noted.
In the tast, Patton-said, the
factor . having the greatest
effect on local unemployment
has been the amount of severe
winter weather experienced
in the mountains. Such con
ditions 'can cause a general
shutdown in logging oper
ations, which is soon followed
by log shortages in the saw
mills. -"This type shutdown can
occur without regard to the
prevailing economic condi
tions,".he said.
In general, Patton added,
the employment outlook for
the next 60 days is good. ,

Haifield Accuses Porter
ff 'Bamboozling Blackmail
Governor Raps
Try To Put Him
On Witness Chair
Park Service Report
Finds Disfavor '
; Salem. - (UPD - Gov.- Mark
Hatfield today accused Con
gressman Charles Porter (D
Ore.) of using "bamboozling
blackmail" to put him on a
witness chair in the contro
versy over a proposed Dunes
National Park on the Oregon
Coast. .
Porter, a sponsor of legisla
tion creating the park, threat
ened to call off hearings until
Hatfield clarified his position
on the park.
The governor said he had
just received a National Park
Service report which suggests
moving Highway 101 inland
at a cost of from $14 to $30
route through the dunes be
tween Florence and Reeds
port. Other Areas Desperate
Hatfield said a considerable
part of this money would be
state funds.
"I cannot subscribe to that
part of the report which
would take highway " funds
away from priority projects
like Highway 42 and other
areas where the money is des
perately needed," he said.
The governor' continued:
"Much distortion has been
made of my statement about
recreation in piles of shifting
sand. While I recognize the
aesthetic value of piles of sand
as viewed from a distance, I
think most everyone will
agree that if it takes a sand
, buggy to maneuver some of
the areas now there won t be
many people equipped to be
on the sands."
Vegetation Needed
He said the dunes would
havete be- -stabilized- - with-
vegetation before it , would
have value for anything .be
sides sight - seeing, painting,
photography and the like.
The Park Service Advisory
Committee favors the pro
posed park, although the In
terior Department has not
officially announced its stand.
Hatfield previously said he
would prefer a park farther
north in the Clatsop, county
area. -(See

died in a Rome clinic today
of a heart attack. He was 38.
Lanza, whose mighty voice
transformed him from a piano-mover

Both sides accused the oth

ports from Maine to Texas.
- Although the union said it
opposed use of the Taft-Hartley
law, both sides assumed
that an injunction' would be
