A million-acre reindeer range also is located in the district. Depending on the season, the are from 50 to 95 employees i.n the Fairbanks district. Alaska is now selecting more than 103 million acres granted to it by the federal government in the Alaska Statehood act. The state has the right to choose from the best public lands available: a large part of Youngblood's job will involve administra tion of the state-selection pro gram in the district. i Youngblood has had 23 years of government servicp and is "exceptionally well qualified for such a challeng ing job," according to Getty. As a forestry graduate of Ore Ron State university, he began his public service career as a fi reman and camp boss with the Civilian Conservation corps in the Medford blister rust control program. In 1944, Youngblood was promoted to BLM district for ester in the Coos Bay area. He became the Medford district manager in 1957. "Medford is the largest BLM district in western Ore gon," Getty added.

U. S. T e 1 s t a r authorities planned to transmit test pat terns to the British and French ground bases during Telstar's 24th and 25th passes over the Atlantic this eve ning. No Network Screening Since only test patterns will be used, none of the three U.S. TV networks is expected to pick them up for home screens. The first long distance phone call via satellite is planned for Friday evening between New York and Paris. British and French tele vision authorities were elated by the success of their broad casts Wednesday night which brought a taped French night club entertainment and a live British transmission into mil lions of American living rooms. But Dr. Eugene O'Neill, program director of Telstar, said nothing like this is in store tonight. If the two way calls enjoy the same suc cess as Wednesday night's near perfect French and Eng lish television transmissions, the telephone conversations should sound as clear as local calls. O'Neill conceded the suc cess of Wednesday nlgnts tests, by which Americans saw an eight minute show from France during the Tel star's 15th orbit and a British program during the 16th pass over the Atlantic. Showed Paris Scenes The French show, taped in Paris and transmitted from Pleumcur - B o u d o u, gave Americans views of Parisian street scenes and treated them lo a rendition of "La Chan- sonctte" by Yves Montand, once linked romantically with Marilyn Monroe, plus a bal lad by chanteuse Michelle Ar naud. The British Broadcasting Corp. reacted with an angry charge that the French had violated an agreement for a later broadcast by the 1 Sana tion Eurovlsion group. A Lon don newspaper accused the French of "gallic one-upmanship." Not to be outdone, the Britons rushed their own pro gram into shape for the next orbit. At 6:18 p.m. (PST) they hit the whirling satellite and beamed their own program across the Atlantic, proudly noting that it was "live." It consisted principally of a panel discussion by three of ficials who stayed up past midnight, British time, to out do the French. 2,635 People Get Sabin Vaccine A total of 2,635 Individuals received Sabin vaccine Type I at (lie makeup clinic Wed nesday, according to Dr. A.
