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."

Electronic Devices to Fool
Enemy Growing to Big Business
By ELMER C. 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.

Another device might make
a target "disappear" from en
emy radar screens, so that it
is by-passed.
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

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. Miss
Morgan is now serving a term
in a Portland school for de
linquent girls, Pomeray said.
Pomeroy said a county in
vestigator has been sent to
Oregon to speak with Turner
and the girl. Turner will not
be sent to San Bruno until
the "substance" of his admis
sion is determined, Pomeroy
said.

Mai! 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

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."
