10 A THURSDAY. MAY 31, 1962 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFOHD. OREGON Dennis the Menace 'ToMV" HAS A mi BROTHER. DEWEY HAS A BABY Capitol Memo Tiger in Senate' Stimulating for Oregon Politicians By DOUGLAS GRIPP Sale m (UPB The most titillating topic on the lips of 'Oregon politicians today is the b e h i n d-the-scenes de bate on what effect, if any, will "The Ti ger in the Senate" have on the re election bid this year of Sen. Wayne DoujUi Gripp Morse (D-Ore.) The growing speculation on this by both Republicans and Democrats is getting to be more fun than reading the Congressional Record. "Tiger," of course, Is the already controversial and much awaited first biography of Morse by Washington, D.C. correspondent A. Robert Smith. It was a hot item even before Doublcday put it out last Friday. And licking his political paws in a cloakroom near the Potomac, Oregon's senior sen ator must be aware by now of the stir among the political homcfolk. Some say the book will NOW GET 2L3 More Protein Drink Hi-Energy MULTI-VITAMIN & MINERAL 1 MILK I Investors Becoming Curious. Concerning Discovery of Laser You can taste the difference Only Arden has It at your store Than Contained" in Regular Milk hurt him, and will cost him votes. Others say it is a juicy bit of campaign fodder that will gain him votes. Morse, 61, doesn't like the book. He said so on the floor of the Senate two weeks ago, labeling it a "character assas sination." And for that matter he indicated he doesn't like Smith anymore either, throw ing this in from the Senate floor. Smith is anti-Morse, accord ing to Morse. Smith denies this and says the bonk is ob jective. Morse and Smith have known each other for years but haven't been too close of late. Whether the senator knows it or not, his official de nouncement of the book gave it a roaring sendoff. Major book stores, for example, in Portland, Salem and Eugene report initial brisk sales of about 135. 23 and 12. respec tively. Officials of all three stores say sales are not only good, but picking up daily. Morse hadn't read the book before it came out, and after his blast at least one national columnist bemoaned the fact that he. has never been able to get a senator to denounce his own first book. The most noncontrovcrsial thing about Smith's volume so far is the title. For most people, a tiger produces an image of power, stark power, a dangerous creature to be feared. There isn't a politician in the big time anywhere who doesn't appreciate such a notion about himself. The review by Morse him self notwithstanding, the 455 page book is being well re ceived by the critics. Smith tells about Morse in smooth, muscular prose and the jacket cover has a blurb by Allen Drury, noted author of "Ad vise and Consent," who rates Smith's effort as "splendid." The bonk explores in detail the makings of what Smith describes as "the Morse leg end," his law professor days at Eugene, first election to the Senate in 1944, his bolt from the GOP in 1952. the many feuds, and his rise to prominence as an expert on Latin America, the UN and other matters. Tigers tend to have some nasty points too. and Smith unabashedly points these out. Smith digs deeply into Morse's family and childhood, taking it from there. There is the offbeat as when young Wayne flunked first year Latin in high school in Madi son. Wis. But if Smith includes Morse's defeats, he dwells on tile triumphs too. One expert who Is now 1 traveling the high road in Orr i gun politics summed up "The j Tiger in the Senalr" like this: I "Detractors of Morse will feel it is a potent campaign weapon to use against him. j His friends will find much in the book on the credit side. but they will think forever it didn't do him justice." By LEROY POPE United Press International New York -IUPH - Folks! who like to invest in new ci- entific discoveries are getting 1 justifiably curious about! something called the Laser I the newest marvel turned out by the physicists and the op tical industry. It may be some years be- j fore Lasers are sold in suffi cient quantities to earn cash and stock dividends, but their power and future possibilities for medicine, defense and in dustry already have been demonstrated. A market for $200 million worth of them each year, perhaps much more, by 1970 is a distinct possibility. Laser is a coined word meaning "light amplification by stimulated emission of ra diation." The Laser is a varie ty of mascr. Maser means am plifying radio or any other waves by stimulated emission of radiation. Two Main Kinds There are two main kinds of Laser - solid state, which generally is a ruby held in a metal container, and gas eous, a mixture of helium and neon in a glass tube. Another gaseous type recently was discovered. All do the same thing. Or dinary light is what the physi cists call "spatially incoher ent." That is, its power is broken up and largely lost. It goes in all directions. The Laser collects the power of light into waves of tremen dous energy and harnesses the waves. Then they can be focused and put to practical use. A Laser made by American Op tical company at Southbridge, Mass., was used successfully recently to burn a tumor off the retina of a patient's eye in one thousandth of a sec ond. This indicates the enor mous possibilities for Lasers in surgery. A Laser made by Raytheon corporation of Lexington, Mass., demonstrated at the convention of Institute of Ra dio Engineers, burned a hole through a sheet of stainless steel in one-two-thousandth of a second and set fire to car bon paper 10 feet away. New Gaseous Laser Radio Corporation of Amer ica has announced a new gas eous Laser that can cut to one-tenth the amount of pow er needed to produce strong beams of infrared light-useful in many scientific and indus trial processes. The new R.C.A. Laser em ployes a calcium fluoride crystal containing traces of the rare earth, dysprosium. RCA engineers believe this new type Laser may make it possible to create powerful beams of infrared light con tiuously instead of in tiny pulses as with solid state Las ers. The Laser conceivably could be the defense answer to the intercontinental ballis tic missile. Because of its in tense power and because it can travel at the speed of light, it might be harnessed to vaporize ICBM's in flight. In other words, it would mean the achievement of the ray gun, which science fic tion writers talked about years ago. 1 Industrial Purposes For more prosaic industri al purposes, Lasers probably could drill, machine and weld instantaneously refractory metcls that now are enor mously difficult and expen sive. Hughes Aircraft compa ny has announced a scries of them to sell for $2,500 includ ing power supply. Perkin- El mer corporation of Norwaly, Conn., makes a helium-neon Laser that emits a continuous beam for $7,500. The first Maser was made in 1954 by Charles Townes at Columbia university while he was engaged in exploring principles discovered years ago by Einstein and Planck. Since then, Bell Laborato ries, International Telephone & Telegraph company, Inter national Business Machines corporation, General Electric, Westinghouse, RCA. Raythe on, American Optical, Perkin Elmer, Hughes Aircraft, Vari an Associates and probably other companies have done a great deal of work on Mas ers and Lasers. The companies have spent considerable amounts on their own, but the U.S. Defense de partment also has pumped a lot of money into the research. Dr. Townes was working on a Navy project when he made the first experimental Maser. RCA's new calcium fluoride Laser was developed under an Air Force contract.
