In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
Well, it has happened.
itussia is iirst to send a
man into space, orbiting him
around the world in 89 min
utes and bringing him back
alive and unhurt to a land
ing at a predetermined spot
in his own country . , , thus
proving that a space vehicle
can be GUIDED BACK after
performing its mission.
LONDON, Sir Bernard
Lovell, director of Bri
tain's Jodrell Bank Observa
tory, says: "It is the greatest
achievement in the HISTORY
OF MAN."
Alton Blakeslee, distin
guished Associated Press sci
ence writer, put it this way
in his story: "In an awesome,
daring and thrilling ride, a
Soviet astronaut has Just
turned a MOMENTOUS
PAGE IN HUMAN HISTORY
-for he has realized the
ancient human dream of
vaulting into space and com
ing back safely to earth
again."
(In the Greek myth, Icarus
tried it, but he soared too
near the sun, which melted
his home-made wax wings
and sent him crashing back
to oblivion.)
TT IS a staggering achieve-
ment.
The world is thrilled. If
there are OTHER worlds out
in space, and inhabited by
living beings with advanced
communications systems, they
too are thrilled. Sir Bernard
Lovell , is probably right in
calling it the greatest achieve
ment in the history of man.
SEARCHING question:
Why was Russia first?
THERE may be a hint in
dispatches from Moscow.
Here is a sample paragraph
from one of the stories:
"As word of Gagarin's
achievement spread through
the city, Moscow's streets be
came reminiscent of Pitts
burgh after last fall's World
Series victory - or Times
Square, on a NEW YEAR'S
EVE, .-
"Snowballing pro cessions
of students swarmed down
Gorky Street (Moscow's main
stem) in a spontaneous dem
onstration. They, weren't just
having fun. They were cele
brating a SCIENTIFIC
ACHIEVEMENT." .
In Russia, it appears, scien
tific progress is regarded as
immensely more Important
than HAVING FUN.
WE HAVE this in our, favor:
There is as much differ
ence between an average
American home and an aver
age Russian home as between
their man-ln-space record and
ours.
But .
Maybe we're devoting too
much thought to achievement
of the abundant life and too
little thought to some of the
more serious phases of mod
ern life.
' At least, it's worth consid
ering. '
HOPEFUL thought in con
clusion: Prying open the secret of
the atom bomb was an Amer
ican achlevement-with help
from some smart Britons. The
Russians now know as much
huuui me ;nium duuid us we
do. Our Wright Brothers were
the first to prove the feasi
bility of mechanical flight.
Now EVERYBODY knows
about mechanical flight. Pre
sumably, in time, we'll catch
up in space exploration.
HOPEFUL thought:
Suppose both we and
the Russians should become
so interested in developing
space exploration that we
would forget to GO TO WAR!
That would be SOMETHING.

'Lightweight'
Shows Promise at OSC
CorvaUls "Lightweight"
concrete made from Oregon
produced expanded-shale ag
gregates shows promise -for
special purpose structures
such as highway bridges, ac
cording to research by an
Oregon State college engi
neer. .
The expanded-shale aggre
gate concrete weighs only
about two-thirds as much as
conventional sand-gravel con
crete, with similar strength
and workability. The reduced
weight makes transportation
and erection of pre-cast struc
tures less costly and also per
mits some flexibility in design
not possible with - normal-
weight concrete.
Churchill Flies
Back To London
New York-(HPD-Slr Winston
Churchill,. 86, flew back to
his London home today after
a two-day visit to the United
States that he never expected
to make.
He left TCew York Interna
tional Airport.
The former British prime
minister showed, fatigue as he
was put aboard a Pan Ameri
can World Airways jet this
morning by his old friend,
Bernard Baruch, 90, and his
cruise host, Aristotle Onassis.
He had given his famous
V-for-victory salute as he left
Onassis' yacht for the trip to
the airport, but he only doffed
his hat briefly for photograph
ers at the plane.
Sir Winston told friends
during his 1959 visit to Wash
ington, Gettysburg and New
York that he did not expect
ever to return to the United
States. But Greek shipping
tycoon Onassis' yacht brought
him here from a Caribbean
vacation Tuesday night for
what may be Churchill's last
glimpse of his mother's home
land and his own wartime
ally.

Engineers have long recog
nized the advantages of the
light-weight aggregate con
crete, but limited knowledge
about its properties particu
larly shrinkage and expan
sion have kept it from wide
usage. '
The new studies by Gordon
W. Beecroft, assistant profes
sor of civil engineering at
OSC, provide basic data on
the light weight aggregate
concretes, and will serve as a
valuable guide to their usage.
The shale aggregates are
found in abundance in some
Oregon areas.
Aggregates Are Crushed
For the lightweight con
crete, the shale aggregates
are crushed, then heated to an
almost molten , state. Under
heat, they expand and when
cooled are full of tiny honey
comb type holes. The result is
a light material, weighing
about half as much as an
equal volume of gravel.
The project was conducted
by the Oregon state highway
department in cooperation
with the federal bureau of
public roads. Beecroft worked
for the highway department
before joining the OSC staff
in 1958, and has continued
the work during summers
since then.
Findings were presented at
the annual meeting of the fed
eral highway research board
earlier this winter in Wash
ington, D.C., and at the
Northwest Highway Engi
neering conference in Seattle,

RAT'S NEST OF DOCUMENTS
Uncluttered Fiscal Affairs Make
Figuring Income Tax Fairly Simple
By DICK WEST
Washington -(UPD- Financial
ly speaking, I am a simple
man mainly because I don't
have enough
money to be
complex.
In 1960, all
of my income
came from
"salaries and
wages." I had,
4.S
therefore, no
"gains and
losses from
Weit
sales or ex-
changes of property
other
than capital assets.
Neither did I rake in any
thing from "annuities or pen
sions," or from "rents and
royalties" or from "partner
ships, estates, trusts and other
sources."

Five Appear in
Circuit Court
In circuit court action this
week, two men pleaded guilty
to charges, two received sus
pended sentences and one had
an attorney appointed.
Two men, James Earl
Rains, 'Jacksonville, and
Cloys Eugene Adams, Pros
pect, each received five year
suspended sentences from
Judge Edward C. Kelly. The
Mail Tribune had previously
stated they appeared before
Judge James M. Main.
Rains was charged with
burglary not in a dwelling,
and Adams appeared on a
charge of rape. Both had
pleaded guilty to the charges.
Appearing before Judge
Main, Elmer Boyd Gravelle,
30, of Jacksonville, was sen
tenced to 15 months in the
Oregon state penitentiary on
a charge of using a motor ve
hicle without the permission
of the owner. He pleaded
guilty to the charge Tuesday
and was sentenced Thursday
morning.
Judge Main appointed Ken
Denman attorney for Fred
erick Bernard Beck, 20, of
Rogue River, when he ap
peared on a charge of contri
buting to the delinquency of
a minor.
Eugene Douglas Reedy,
Myrtle Creek, pleaded guilty
on a grand jury indictment of
non-support. He was ar
raigned before Judge Kelly,
who continued the case pend
ing receipt of federal bureau
of investigation reports. He
was released on $500 ball.
IN T.R.'s FOOTSTEPS
Boston-flJPD-A distinguished
family in U.S. politics was
represented today in the 14th
annual Student Government
Day at the State House. Tak
ing part in the day was Theo
dore Roosevelt IV of Paoli,
Pa., great-grandson of the na
tion's 26th president, who
was named as a student state
representative from Groton
school.
And, finally, I registered a
blank on "Income (or loss)
from unincorporated busi
ness" and on "profit (or loss)
from business or profession."
If you asked me how I man
aged to avoid enriching my
self by these methods, I would
have to say that I'm just
lucky, I guess. At least I felt
lucky when I sat down to
make out my income tax re
turn. Makes Job Easy
My relatively uncluttered
fiscal affairs spared me the
task of figuring out how much
I could deduct for deprecia
tion and amortization, not to
mention depletion of oil wells.
Nevertheless, in order to
satisfy the requirements of
the Internal Revenue Service
I am obliged to maintain and
preserve two drawers full of
old doctor bills, cancelled
checks, gasoline receipts and
other vital statistics.
I got to wondering, as I was
sorting out this rat's nest of
deductible documents, just
how much of a paper-saving
burden is imposed on the citi
zenry by various government
regulations.
Pharmacy as Career
For Women Is Being
Realized in Country
CorvaUls A pharmacist is
a "man" in most people s
minds still, but about one out
of eight pharmacists in Ore
gon today is a woman and
the number seems certain to
Increase steadily in years to
come, the dean of pharmacy
at Oregon State college, be
lieves. The suitability of pharmacy
as a career for women is just
beginning to be fully realized
in this country, according to
Dean Charles O. Wilson.
Education Bill
Speed-Up Urged
Washington-IUPD-The House
Education and Labor Commit
tee started its own count
down today to launch Presi
dent Kennedy s education pro
gram as one answer to Rus
sia's man-ln-space achieve
ment.
Chairman Adam Clayton
Powell (D-N.Y.) urged his col
leagues to get cracking on
bills to carry out Kennedy's
$4.7 billion proposal to up
grade American education.
The Negro congressman
took a personal pledge not to
introduce proposals to bar fed
eral aid to racially segregated
schools. Declaring that the
challenge posed to Americans
by the Soviet cosmonaut over
rode all other considerations,
Powell said he would sponsor
no amendments tnat couia
kill school aid.
Powell has sponsored anti
discrimination amendments to
school bills In the past, and
Invariably they have resulted
In the death of the legislation.
Powell arranged for a sub
committee now working on
Kennedy's $2.4 billion college
aid measure to place a bill
before the full committee by
April 19. . ,

Fortunately, my curiosity
could be easily slaked by
hunting up a copy of the re
vised "Guide to Record Re
tention Requirements" recent
ly published by the General
Services Administration.
90S Entries in Guide
You perhaps will not be
surprised to hear that 10 ex
ecutive departments and 17
independent federal agencies
place on the public record
keeping responsibilities of one
sort or another.
In all, the guide contains
908 entries that require
various individuals and com
panies to retain records any
where from 30 days to "per
manently." If, for example, you collect
admission tickets to some
event, you have to preserve
the stubs at least six months.
If you are engaged in the
manufacture of smoking opi
um, you must keep permanent
records.
Proprietors of bonded wine
cellars are required to keep
35 different types of records.
But persons producing wine
for family use have to keep
only one.
The U. S. has about 110,000
pharmacists practicing today,
with 6,000 or 5 per cent of
them women. Oregon has ap
proximately 1,150 full-time
pharmacists with 145, or 12
per cent of them women. In
some foreign countries though
Latin America, Finland
90 per cent of the pharmacists
are women.
Looking : ahead, national
leaders in pharmacy foresee
the day in the not too distant
future when half of all phar
macists in the U.S. will be
women, Wilson added. About
12 per cent of the students in
pharmacy schools across the
nation are coeds today, a
sharp increase over past
years.
Oregon Slate Enrollment
Oregon State has 44 coeds
and 260 men students en
rolled In pharmacy this year.
"Fine and varied opportu
nities" await w o m e n and
men in pharmacy, Dean Wil
son emphasized. Drug stores,
of course, claim the majority
of the nation's pharmacy
graduates, but there are hun
dreds of jobs in hospital phar
macy, pharmaceutical sales,
research, and other phases of
Industry.
Women get along well in
pharmacy because there is no
heavy work Involved, hours
and working conditions are
good, women are especially
skillful in many phases of
pharmaceutical practice, and
they meet the drug store pub
lic mostly w o m e n with
ease and understanding.
Work Opportunities
Part-time" work opportu
nities are exceptionally good
for women trained as pharma
cists, Wilson added. Many
pharmacy graduates who are
now homemakers supplement
the family income and keep
informed on new pharmaceu
tical advances by working a
few hours a week as a relief
pharmacist in a drug store.
If they should need to re
turn to full-time work, jobs
are usually available because
the demand for pharmacists
far exceds the supply, he
noted.
Pharmacy is a five-year
course this year for the first
time in all U.S. pharmacy
schools, Wilson stated. The
five-year program was adopt
ed to Insure a broad educa
tion for graduates along with
intensive professional train
ing .
High school preparation lor
pharmacy should Include all
possible science and mathe
matics, according to Wilson.
