THURSDAY, APRIL 13, 1961 E 3 They'll Do It Every Time By Jimmy .iiatlo Man Could If Atmosphere Was Washington - (Science Serv- - lce)-Man can land on the - mystery planet Venus after making its air suitable for hu mans. This job could be done ... by dropping primitive plants v into the planet's atmosphere, then waiting for results. : ' "; The primitive algea would i. split the carbon dioxide be u lieved to poison the air on - Venus for humans. The result j would be carbon and oxygen, found in the earth's atmos- phere. Dr. Carl Sagan of the Uni " versity of California, Berke- ley, believes the best algae i to drop on Venus are the blue- green algae (primarily of the !f. Nostocaceae family). '? Need Experiments ; He said many experiments on developing algae in a simulated atmosphere like that on Venus should be made. Such experiments would show " which strain of this algae is better suited to live in and - reproduce and to change the atmosphere of Venus. The seeding of algae on . Venus should' only come after Meteorologist to Be On College Campus Ashland-Dr. Fred Decker, - meteorologist, and associate professor of physics at Ore : gon State college will be on the Southern Oregon college -' campus, Wednesday, April 19, . to present a lecture on "Wea ther Satellites and Meteor 'ology" at the student assem , bly at 10 a.m. in Churchill . hall. .

Otherwise, unique scientific information might be lost, Dr. Sagan said. The theories on the kind of "weather" Venus has are many and varied, but all are no more than educated guesses since the planet is covered by a cloud layer that hides its surface. The clouds were once thought to be formed only of dust, but water vapor has been found to be about as abundant as it is in the earth's atmos phere, Dr. Sagan reported. Some scientists think the surface of Venus is dry wnue others believe it is covered with oceans of carbonated water. The algae first dropped on Venus would live high in the air and use water deposited there in the form of water vapor or ice crystals.- Temperature Falls As the carbon dioxide con tent of the atmosphere on Venus falls because of the algae, the surface tempera ture,' now believed to be 600 degrees Fahrenheit, would begin to fall. When the temperatures are low enough, the decreasing rate of: algal decomposition would reduce the water abun dance slightly, and the surface may cool below the boiling point of water, Dr. Sagan said. At this point surface photo synthesis (by which plants produce food) would become possible. At somewhat lower temperatures rain would reach the surface. A balance would then- be established in the Freshman Advising Texas U.

Fuel Trains May Begin Supplying Antarctic Bases McMurdo Sound, Antarcti ca (UPD U.S. Antarctic Com mander Read Adm. David M. Tyree reports that fuel trains may replace aircraft in sup plying vital fuel to American tmeses inland in Antarctica. The trains of tractors would tow huge rubber tires filled with thousands of gallons of fuel. Tyree said the use of rolli tanker equipment, which cur rently is being investigated, looks like "the answer to the problem of running the fuel train overland rather than de livering by air." . ? . Rolli-tankers have been use don the scientific traverse from McMurdo Sound to the South pole this season and on the Victoria land traverse in previous seasons. Difficulty Tyree said he doubted that the project could be organized by next season because of the difficulty in acquiring equip ment. He said it had been-proposed that the U.S. Navy bor row such tractors from the U.S. Army to make an experi mental run with the fuel train from Little America to Byrd station in Marie Byrd land, but the possibility was fairly remote because the cost would be more than $1 million. The rolli-tanker would con sist of two huge tires, each with a capacity of 500 gallons of fuel. A platform between the two tires permits carrying equipment. The admiral noted that fuel requirements had increased at all stations in Antarctica and that Byrd station now was be ing used more than before as a staging point for field par ties. He said fuel accounted for more than half of the weight of equipment used by these parties. , . Plane Corrects Available Maps Washington, (Science Serv ice) - The U. S. now has a plane that "knows" where it is more precisely than the best available maps and shows how the maps should be corrected. - Primary function of the es pecially equipped Boeing 707 jet is to check navigational aids at high altitudes. It does this with a fast electronic computer system, which re cords as it monitors. The system is so accurate that the plane's position with respect to the ground is known within 400 feet at all times. The stations are check ed much faster and more ac curately than by any previous method. In a four-hour light cover ing 1,446 air miles, the plane checked 35 ground stations from an altitude of 32,000 feet. Preliminary information in dicated that there was radio interference between stations at Front Royal, Va., and Charleston, W. Va., although not enough to make a safety hazard. The plane, which cost $2, 600,000 and is considered a bargain, is operated by the Federal Aviation A g e n cy, which must know how its guidance and other systems for pilot are working at high Book Hitler Dictated in 1925 To Be Published in Germany This Year Munich-IOPD-For many West Germans the haunting sha dow of Adolf Hitler will nev er quite fade away despite the reports of historians that the fuehrer died in the rub ble of his empire 15 years ago. The ghost of the man who brought the world as much misery as any plague will cast its shadow again this year through the familiar tortured prose of a second book he wrote, but chose not to pub lish. In other times the book would have the makings of a sensation. But in Germany, where the public has been re-living the past it would rather forget in brutal film documentaries, educational ra dio programs, books and tele- visision Hitlers "Weltansc hauung" is expected to have little interest to the man on the street. The book will- be entitled "Hitler's Second Book," a title chosen by the staid Munich Institute for Contemporary History which plans to ..pub lish it in late spring or sum mer. "Mein Kampf" was Hitler's first and only so far published book. It became the National Socialist bible, required read- Korea's Pusan Still Suffers Effects of War Pusan, Korea-IUPJJ-Pusan Is one of a few cities in Korea that was not directly hit by the Korean War. But the war brought many problems to this sprawling port city. The war-time capital of Ko rea, Pusan is over-populated, filthy and full of refugees and people without jobs. With a population of 1.2 million, it is, after Seoul, the second largest city of South Korea. But Pusan is designed for only 400,000. The over-population Is a direct result of the Korean War, which began in 1950 and ended in an armistice in 1953. After the war broke out, thousands upon thousands of refugees poured into this southern port city. It was the last major city held by the United Nations and Republic of Korea forces against the advancing North Korean troops in the summer of 1950 At the height of the fight ing, the population swelled to the peak of 1.5 million. After the war ended, many of the refugees returned to their homes. But nearly a half-million stayed. Most were from North Korea and had no place to go. Acute Shortage The result: The city now suffers from an acute short age of water, housing and jobs. Out of 190,000 families liv ing in Pusan, 70,000 have no homes of their own, accord ing to city authorities. Many of them live in canvas-cov ered crate-wood shacks built in clusters on hill slopes. Many families have to buy water by the bucket (4 cents for a five-gallon bucket) from water peddlers. The city government esti mates that one-sixth of the city population is unemployed or under-employed. Pusan is also a city of tragedies. A year hardly passes in Pusan without a large-scale fire, typhoon, or traffic acci dent that brings heavy casual ties or leaves thousands of people homeless. In 1960 alone, 63 girl work ers were burned to death in a factory fire. Nearly a dozen other Pusan residents were killed, more than a score in jured and nearly 20,000 left Homeless by Typhoon Car men last August. Born as a-small fishing port some 2,000 years ago, Pusan now handles more than 70 per. cent of the nation's mari time transportation. About three-fourths of South Ko rea's fishing industry is based here. There are several factories in Pusan-a sugar refinery, flour mills, canning and tex tile plants. But manufactur ing is not the basic industry. It serves as the main sup ply base for the 600,000-man Republic of Korea armed forces and the 50,000-man United States force in Korea. Scientific Terms Aren't Impressive Rochester, Minn.-UPD-Mean-ingless scientific terms no longer impress patients, a Mayo Clinic plastic surgeon reported to young physicians. "The public expects to ask some questions and wants an swers in plain English," said Dr. Kenneth D. Devine In a recent issue of a Surgeon's Journal. He advised doctors to say "windpipe" instead of trachea and "voicebox" in stead of "larynx." ing for ambitious party mem bers and a book that even non-party Germans found it wise to have on their book shelves before and during the war. No Improvement Few understood the twisted prose of "Mein Kampf" and reviewers who have obtained a glimpse of the Fuehrer's second book report it is no improvement. It is the 324-page manu script Hitler dictated to his personal secretary in 1925 when he was but a drop In the political whirlpool that later engulfed the world. Shortly after Hitler com pleted "Mein Kampf" he sec retly began laying down his thoughts on foreign policy in another book which he plant ed as a supplement to his first. Over the course of a year the manuscript grew, but hav Quack Health Machines Take Millions Chicago - (Science Service) Fake "health" machines not only take millions from a gul lible public but hasten the death of thousands who delay valid medical treatment. The machine quack who makes devices out of odds and ends of metals, wire and radio parts has been denounced in Today's Health, official publi cation of the American Medi cal association. "With these gadgets - im pressive to the gullible be cause of their flashing light bulbs, ticks and buzzes " the machine quack carries out "a vicious medical con game, capitalizing on people s re spect for the electrical and atomic wonders of our scien tific age."

Institute officials said Al bert Zoller, a French liaison officer to the U.S. Army, first mentioned its existence in a book he wrote about Hitler after World War II. In 1951 the institute took up the hunt in earnest. Docu ments were examined and re searchers questioned persons who might know what hap pened to the manuscript. The first break came when Josef Berg, former section chief of the Nazi publishing house, told the institute the manu script had been stored in sec recy and later confiscated by an American officer in 1945. In the United States, Ger hard L. Weinberg, professor at Chicago University, had started a similar search for the book. He and Dr. Her mann Mau, then director of Yearly one year in jail and $1,000 fine for initial offenders- in machine quackery. The food and drug administration is handicapped, therefore, in its constant battle against charla tans. The AMA bureau of inves tigation has set up rules to help educate the public in spotting a quack. Beware, the bureau warns if: , 1. A medical "expert" uses a special or "secret" machine or formula he claims can cure disease. . , , 2. He guarantees a quick cure. 3. He advertises or uses case histories and testimonials to promote his cure. 4. He clamors con stantly for medical investigation and recognition. 5. He claims medical men are persecuting him or are afraid of his competition, . 6. He tells you that sur gery, x-rays or drugs will cause more harm than good.

Typing errors showed that the book had been dic tated directly into the type writer of Hitler's secretary. Funds Low Weinberg has written the commentary to the book and it is his belief that Hitler de cided the words he dictated in 1925 were not the words he thought opportune to publish later. Another opinion is that the book was withheld , be cause party funds were low, and "Mein Kampf" was not selling. The book was ready for publication last October, and was briefly reviewed in at least one German newspaper, but then it became unclear as to who exactly had the publishing rights. Many of the nebulous ideas which Hittler expressed in "Mein Kampf" were repeated in the second manuscript. Publishing rights of the Nazi Party were transferred to the State of Bavaria after the war. The State Finance Ministry gave rights of the book to the institute. But there still are some doubts the ministry was on strictly legal ground Munich officials say it is possible that one of the six distant relatives of Hitler could claim royalties.
