Film Showing Noted in Country The Christmas week end pre -showing in Medford of 'Dog of Flanders" has at tracted considerable nation wide attention, according to Robert Corbin, theater man ager here. The film will be given na tional release at Easter time, but was given a test showing in Medford in advance of that. The results, Corbin said, have been widely noticed. Dorothy Kilgallen, a nation ally syndicated columnist, on Jan. 5, noted: "Executives at 20th Century-Fox are joyous over a report from far - off Medford, Ore. They decided to hold a test showing of their Easter release, "Dog of Flan ders," in that town, and in just two days the film grossed more than either "The Robe" or "Peyton Place" made in a full week - and the latter two made box office history." Also, Corbin reported that the Medford trial is being pub licized in a brochure offered for national advertising of the film, which rated its success as "sensational" after "a series of screenings for public opin ion makers, implemented by radio and TV announcements and a normal concentration of newspaper ads."

WALZER UPI Financial Editor New York -(UPD- Suppose some group not exactly on our side of the fence invents a new elec tronic push button attack device? W e there upon invent what is called a counter-measure-something that nullifies Elmer waizer the new elec tronic push-button attack de vice. Then our opposite comes up with a counter-counter meas ure. And we in turn produce a counter-counter-counter meas ure. This could go on and on -and does. It's all done by electronics, an industry that is growing by leaps and bounds. It is esti mated that 1959 sales of this industry grossed $9 billion. The industry includes many small companies loaded with young engineers. One of them - Instruments for Industry, Inc.-specializes in combatting electronic war fare devices with counter measures. Annual sales of IFI have risen from $700,000 six years ago to 52,500,000 in 1959. Its payroll has risen from 36 to 180 of which one in every four is an engineer. Fooling the Enemy These engineers don't like to talk about counter-counter-counter measures. They re gard each as a counter-measure and each is something new to fool an enemy if one attacks. Most of the work of instru ments for industry is highly classificed but its young pres ident, Elston H. Swanson, aged 38, explains its military devices as follows: "Counter measures are electronic means of confusing or nullifying the action of the enemy's electronic gear such as jamming their radar and communications systems of confusing the guidance controls of their missiles or aircraft. "They are electronics fight ing electronics." One device, he notes, tends to make an attacking radar think there is something there that isn't, so that the bomb or missile will go off harmlessly.

A ceiling of safety may be thrown over troops in the field to safeguard them from surprise attack. Action Equals Reaction "Our thinking," Swanson says, "is like that old prin ciple we learned in high school physics-for every ac tion there is an opposite re action. "We believe that for every measure, electronically speak ing, there is a counter-measure. "It's just a matter of find ing it." Instruments for Industry carries on a thriving commer cial business, although most of its business is with govern ment agencies and the armed forces. The company's plants, lo cated in Hicksville, on Long Island, are among a growing group of electronics compa nies in that area. Swanson is a director of the Adelphi Research Center, set up in cooperation with Adelphi College on Long Is land for basic electronic re search. Fundamental Concepts Basic research, it is ex plained, deals with fundamen t a 1 concepts, fundamental theories and fundamental ef fects. It is not concerned with profitable use of these con cepts, theories, and effects. Instruments for Industry conducts its own development research which is the appli cation of concepts of basic research. The electronics industry got its start in entertainment -radio, record players, televi s i o n. Military applications have given it accelerated growth. The future is beyond the moon. I Young Oregonian Tells of Death In Gun Struggle Redwood City, Calif .-(UPD-A young Oregon man has told FBI agents a ,San Bruno man, missing since Dec. 6, was shot during a struggle for a gun, San Mateo county authorities said today. Chief Sheriff's Deputy. Wes ley Pomeroy said Dave Tur ner, 18, told agents in. Rose- burg, Ore., the shot was fired as he attempted to stop; Vic tor Teall, 37, San Bruno, from committing suicide. Dumped Into Surf Turner said the shooting oc curred at Devil's Slide on a steel slide area 15 miles south of San Francisco. He said he dumped Treall's body over the slide into the surf and took his car. Treall, a radio operator in San Francisco, has been miss ing since Dec. 6 when he left his home with two suitcases in his car. Pomeroy said Turner is now serving three years in a state reformatory at Salem for burglary. The deputy said a check of the slide would be made early next week when the tide goes out. The 3000 to 5000 foot slide is 15 miles south of San Francisco. Boasted of Shooting Oona Lee Morgan, 17, told authorities earlier that Tur ner had boasted , of shooting the radio operator twice.

Tribune Washington ' ' Correspondent Washington - Rep. Charles O. Porter (D-Ore.) is trying to beef up his campaign for in stalling a me c h a nical de- i vice in Crater : jjaKe iNauou- al. Park for carrying tour ists down to the shore of the lake and back. Porter's of- a Robt. smith f ice this week is sending a questionaire to over 100,000 residents of his congressional district in west ern Oregon asking their opin ion of such a contraption. The congressman prefers to call it . an "aerial gondola. Last year in a smaller survey of public opinion, he called it a "ohairlift." , By any name, National Park Service officials are op posed to it. The less mechani cal gadgets in the national parks the better, as far as they are concerned. Porter main tains it wouldn't marr the scenic beauty of the park, if properly constructed and de signed. Collecting Maps At the moment Porter is collecting topographic maps and plans of the Crater Lake area for Robert Wilmsen, Eu gene architect, to use in mak ing a drawing of the proposal. Wilmsen was the architect for Lane county's new modern courthouse. Porter also hopes to have a model built. "When they see the model, they will see that it won't interfere with scenic beauty," Porter continued. He is convinced such a de vice will attract more tourists through Medford and Grants Pass en route to the park. It will promote more boating on Crater Lake, he said, but rules can't be enforced to permit boating only during certain hours. The question in Porter's questionaire is: "Provided it was concealed THE DANMOORE HOTEL 1217 SW Morrison St. PORTLAND, OREGON All transient guests. All those who come, return.

Children Under Seven No Charge by trees and thus entailed no disfigurement of the scenery, and no tax funds were requir ed, would you favor an aerial gondola traveling on a high wire from the rim to the sur face of Crater Lake?" Favored By Majority Last year Porter found from a similar question mail ed to some 10,000 Fourth Dis trict residents that of 2554 who responded, 53 per cent said they favored such a proj ect, 32 per cent were opposed and 15 per cent had no opin ion. "I realize that I need pub lic support to get this through," Porter said. "I re gard it as a long term project, but an important one."
