There'i something new in
'.lithe ky-th latest model of
our Discoverer satellites. This
' one it Discoverer XIX. Its
job ii to take the earth's tern- J.
" perature. Exactly the aame
. ' ai your doctor takee your
,' temperature. And for the
" aame reason.
When your doctor takei
' " your temperature, he wanU
' to know what's going on in
' your system. If there is too
much HEAT, something is
' wrong. He then goes to work
' ' to find out WHAT is wrong,
'j The Discoverer satellites
are designed to work in the
same way. They merely use
"' different equipment. Your
' doctor uses a clinical ther
mometer, which he puts
' under your tongue. The DIs
.' coverer satellites carry equlp-
ment to measure the amount
of Infrared radiation given off
', " by the earth. This Information
ls then radioed instantly to
' 'the Midas missile alarm ays-
tern.
YOUR doctor's thermometer
tells htm the temperature
of your body. If your tem
' ' perature is 98.8 degrees, you
1 are normal. If it is ABOVE
'1.6 degrees, something Is
wrong.
The job of our Midas mis
sile system Is to determine
"the NORMAL amount of tn
" ' frared radiation given off by
"'the earth. Then-if the Dis
coverer satellites circling the
J-' earth every 93 minutes re
' ' port a sudden RISE in the
'"Infrared radiation (which Is
' . given off by HOT bodies) -'
' it will be assumed that some
,' 'thing is WRONG.
The assumption would be
'''that our enemies had blasted
' off at ut a flock of missiles,
,' which are. VERY HOT bod
Us. We would then (presum
". ably) take the step called for
by the situation and would
Instantaneously launch back
at them enough missiles to
destroy them.
PRETTY rugged?
It certainly is.
But nuclear warfare ll rug-
' ged. It ehanges the whole face
ef warfare as we have known
- it. ".
THIS is the situation:
We have given the Rus
t "elans the FIRST BITE. Which
Is to say, we have given our
solemn word that under no
' circumstances will we be the
AGGRESSOR In a nuclear at
" tack. That amounts to this:
i It tempts the communists
'to SHOOT FIRST - to DE
1 iSTROY US before we can
ihoot back. To get everything
''ready and then blow us off
the earth In one massive mi
; . eilc strike.
THIS is the point:
If we can get INSTAN-
TANEOUS warning that the
communists are launching
i missiles at us, we can instan-ii-
taneously launch missiles at
' them. That would mean MU
SI I IAST MAIN

Spanish Peasant
Claims No Sleep
Taken During life
Madrid, Spain - ,(WH - A
wiry peasant glanced through
picture magazines and chat
ted with two correspondents
today in a wide-awake demon
stration of his claim that he
has not slept a wink in his
life.
Valentin Medina Foves, 61,
was still going strong on the
second day of his 48-hour
sample ot permanent insom
nia. 'I will sleep the day I die,"
Medina said simply.
And there appeared to be
no reason to doubt he would
not sleep before then.
Forty-eight hours after two
UPI correspondents set up a
watch over him at 8 a.m.
Wednesday, Medina showed
no signs of fading.
As the newsmen Kept watcn
with bloodshot eyes, Medina
had his usual supper consist
ing of a cheese sandwich and
a bottle of wine.
Medina even seemed to gain
strength as the time wore on
He helped move a desk from
one room of the office to an-
other.
The two correspondents
took turns napping but one
or the other kept Medina in
view at all times.
Medtna has been to numer
ous doctors, most of whom
have concluded that he actu
ally has total insomnia. PUIS
and injections, wine supplied
by friends and other home
remedies all have failed to
out him to sleep.
Dr. Luis Tomas uasamayor,
who examined Medina Wed'
nesday, said "Apparently the
man is not lying and he actU'
ally doesn't need to sleep."
But he reserved final judg
ment until he could "study
the case for a period of sever
al weeks.".

Income tax collections were

By DOUGLAS GRIPP
Salem- (DM -Oregon legisla
tors are split in many direc
tions over the touchy Question
ot regulation of trading
stamps by the state. : 1
A United Press Internation
al poll reflecting a cross-sec-
tion of the 1961 assembly
show the lawmakers evenly
divided between those . who
favor such a law, those who
do not and those who have
no opinion.
Those who do favor the
idea were further split as to
how far it should go. Several
predicted a restrictive con
trol bill could never be passed.
There was an unsuccessful
fight in the last two legisla
tures to flatly prohibit trad
ing stamps in Oregon. This
year a group called the Ore
gon Business Council plans
to push a bill to regulate

them, emphasizing that the
stamps would not be outlawed.-
Four-fold Bill
Ralph W. Emmons of Salem,
council executive - secretary,
says the plan calls for a four
fold bill requiring that:
-Stamps - show their cash
value.
-Stamps be redeemable for
one cent or more.
-Stamo firms be licensed
and bonded by the state and
required to file annual finan
cial reports.
Stamo companies must sen
to any merchant willing to
buy.
The companies are particu
larly opposed to the latter.
Rupert Bulivant of Portland,
attorney for Sperry it Hutch
inson green stamps - biggest
tradlni stamp operator in
Oregon-terms it "vicious leg
islation." .
"It would put us out ol
business," he said. Stamp com
panies now contract with
merchants on a franchise
basis.
A srouD called Oregonians
for Business Freedom is the
main force against any regu
lation. Hollis Goodrich of
Portland, public relations man
lor OBF. said the "real pur
pose" of the legislation is not
to regulate trading stamps
but to kill them. Emmons de
nies. Emmons complains that in
1957 housewives were bom
barded with literature and
"the pitch was, 'they're going
to take your stamps away."
The houjewlves in turn bom
barded legislators with pro
testing letters and the tougher
legislation died In committee
The same thing happened in
1959 on a smaller scale.
"I don't know what their
line will be this time," he
said.
5,000 HousewlTM Answer
Goodrich said at least 5,000
housewifes recently replied to
cards asking if they were In
