THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 17, I960 Sun Bursts Point To Need for Method Of Communication Washington -IM- Space cx ncrts said today that the latest outbursts of violence by the crotchety sun point up the need lor a blackout - proof system of communication via fatcllites. Last Thursday the sun trig gered tin; first of a series of gigantic eruptions (solar flares) which may turn out to be the worst on record. One result was disruption of radio communications around the world. If a satellite system of glo bal communications had been in operation, scientists said, it would have weathered the so lar tantrums with no trouble. Both the military and private industry are trying to perfect men a system. Ordinary long-distance ra dio communication is possible because waves in a certain frequency range bounce back from electrified regions of the Jiigh atmosphere. Signals in this range can skip all the , way around the world. Escapt Into Space Step up the frequency, how ever, and the signals pierce the reflecting region, called the ionosphere, and escape into space. Communication at such ultra high frequencies is possible only between points in direct line of sight of each other. Points not or, a direct line must resort to the lower skipping frequencies to main tain contact. When a flare explodes on the sun, il hurls torrents of charged particles into space at speeds up to 1,000 miles a sec ond. These particles set off "magnetic storms" which spoil the ionosphere s radio rcflectina capacity. This washes out ordiniary long-distance radio communi cation on earth.. Flares of rare violence, erupted on the sun Nov. 10, 12, and 15. Nothing approaching them had been reported since Feb. 23, 1958. The effects on communica tions are still being felt. SaUUitet Are Needed But if enough satellite ra dio stations had been aloft to maintain llnc-of-sight contact with all points on earth, no one would have noticed any- disruptions of communlca tlons. Using frequencies In the 1,000 to 10,000 mega-cycle range - instead of the skip frequencies of 3 to 30 mega cycles they would have penetrated the. magnetic storms without difficulty. This has been proved often, for example, the American sun satclite Pioneer V passed through clouds of flare par ticles last spring without fal tering in its linc-of-sight ra dio reports to ground stations. Skip communication between the ground stations, however, were washed out for hours. The military has ways of bypassing t h e ionosphere when It gets balky because of solar flares. It can bounce messages from one continent to another off the moon. It has even used the ionized trails of meteors, lasting less than a second, as a sort of substitute for the reflecting ionosphere. Porflander Beaten In Stopping Fight Portland -WPli- A Rose City bus driver, John A. Berglund, 34, was beaten about the head Wednesday night when he tried to apprehend a man he said was beating an unidenti fied sailor, police reported. Police said Berglund ob served a sailor being beaten and kicked by a man on the street, left his bus and told bystanders to call police while he followed the assail ant. The man entered a comfort station a block away and Berglund followed. A fight ensued and the assailant took a blackjack away from Berg lund and began to beat him with it. The station custodian called police. Police charged Jack Craw ford Joyner, 20, Oregon City, with assault with a deadly weapon. Berglund was treated for' deep head cuts and shock Deadline Extended For Art Entries The deadline for entering the first annual art exhibition and competition sponsored by the Rogue Valley Art associ ation has been extended until 4 p.m. Friday, Nov. 18, Ben J. Trowbridge Jr., chairman of the exhibition committee said today. , Previously, the dead line had been set for today. Trow bridge said the deadline for entering was extended be cause of the number of en tries which will not arrive from out-of-town locations un til tomorrow. About 75 entries for the competition have been receiv ed thus far from cities in southern Oregon and northern California. The exhibition opens at the Rogue Art Gallery, 220 West Main St., Medford, after an artists reception and preview Dec. 4. It closes Dec. 23. PRISON HIRES HYPNOTIST Parchman, Miss. -IUPII- Dr. E. J. Matranga, a chiropodist and hypnotist, has been hired by the state prison here to use hyponosis to help rehabilitate prisoners. The ' appointment was revealed Wednesday. Eye Adjustment Controls Child's Reading Ability San Francisco (Science Service) - If Johnny can't read, it may be because his "controlling" eye is on the opposite side of the hand he uses. Symptoms of poor visual imagery and memory, revers als in reading and writing patterns and mirror writing are then apt to occur. Relief of these symptoms and of stuttering can be accomplish ed by corrective glasses or limiting hand actions to the corresponding hand. These findings were cited as among the eye problems of children under 12 by Dr. Owen C. Dickson of the Uni versity of California Medical school, San Francisco, at the American Public Health as sociation meeting here. "Ideally," Dickson said, "all children should have the benefit of a complete eye examination before school age." May Not Succeed He noted that some eye defects will be so pronounced by the age of five that cor rective measures may not succeed. Detection of a tumor, for example, although requir ing immediate treatment, is rarely accomplished in school age children. Prevention of injuries to the eyes, he said, would in clude outlawing of BB guns in populated areas. Education of parents and the communi ty about the dangers of sling shots, rubber bands, paper clips, scissors, pencils and other sharp objects in chil dren's hands should be stress ed. "Careful handling and placement of liquids, such as cleaning fluids, paints, plant sprays, detergents, drugs and aerosol bombs can prevent many childhood eye injuries, Dickson stressed. First aid treatment for any foreign liquid entering the eye should be prompt irriga tion with water. The eye can be held open under a faucet, or water can be poured into the eye from a glass. Dickson said the use of ointment or eyedrops is to be discouraged because these ap plications may complicate lat er care Congressman Ullman's Mother Dies in Salem Salem -IUP1I- Mrs. Julia Ull- man of Salem, mother of Con gressman Al Ullman, (D-Orc.), died in a Salem hospital Wednesday at the age of 81. She had been on the critical list for two weeks. Private funeral services arc scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Fri day at Virgil T. Golden chap el here. The family asked that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the heart fund.
