Newspaper Page TextIn the Day's News By FRANK From our Johnson Island testing ground, we fired a hydrogen bomb some 200 miles up Into the sky and ex ploded It. It lighted up the whole South Pacific area for as much as six minutes. Its explosive power was some where in the neighborhood of a million tons of TNT which is an explosive of vast ly greater magnitude than we ordinary people are able to imagine. It must have been quite a fire cracker. It apparently ripped a hole in the iono sphere which is a layer a little more than 100 miles up that is something like the layer that is formed when you press two soap bubbles together. ABOUT all ordinary non scientific people know about the ionosphere is that without it broadcasting sta tions could send only about as far as 25 to 75 miles. At that point, without the iono sphere, the earth's curvature would cause the waves to trav el out into space and get lost. Radio waves of wave lengths in or near the ordi nary broadcasting spectrum bounce back from the iono sphere and therefore carry their message over a consid erable part of the earth's sur face.

At any rate, we can still hear our radios. CO much for that. The next day we fired another object up into space. It is harmless. It isn't de signed to explode. It is anoth er satellite to go into orbit around the earth. It is very small, weighing only about 170 pounds. Its job is to BOUNCE BACK television and high-frequency radio signals, which follow the line of sight and go off the horizon and get lost. That's why TV pro grams can't be seen "live" all over the earth. This new satellite is de signed to make that possible so that when come the Olympic Games in Tokyo we can see them direct. ANOTHER interesting point: This shot is costing the taxpayers nothing. American Telephone & Telegraph Co. (AT&T in the stock market reports) built Telstar, as the little satellite is named, at a cost of about a million dollars and then forked over 2.7 million dol lars to the National Aeronau tics and Space Administra tion to pay for having it fired up into space and put into orbit around the earth. It's a private enterprise job. WHAT will come of it? Well, the scientists tell us that from Telstar could come in time a series of 30 to 50 satellites, circling the globe at an altitude of about 6,000 miles and providing the first worldwide system of ra dio and television communi cations. How soon? It might come as soon as 1964 or 1965. age cfyi Try and By BENNETT CERF- CLEM ALBRIGHT wins the medal for this month's biggesi whopper about hunting dogs.

"1 A - ft ASHLAND o NORTHWEST BELL Tax Commission Collections Up For Fiscal Year Salem - (UPU - The Oregon Tax Commission said Thurs day it collected $112.8 million in the fiscal year which ended June 30, an increase of $6.5 million, or 6.1 per cent, over the previous year. This was less than half of the expected percentage gain given to the 1961 legislature. That percentage was 13.8 for the first half of the biennium, or first fiscal year. Instead of $112.8 million, first year collections were ex pected to be about $120 mil lion. Of the eight taxes the com mission administers, five of them exceeded collections last year - personal income, corporation excise, electronic cooperative, private car com pany, and rural telephone ex change. Recipts from the other three declined - corporation income, amusement device and forest products. Major Source The commission's major source is the personal income tax. Receipts totaled $90.4 million, a pickup of $6 mil lion, or 7.1 per cent, over last year. The breakdown In collec tions for the 1961-62 fiscal year, compared to the prev ious year's collections, in pa renthesis: Personal income tax - $90,- 474,795 ($84,472,667). Corporation excise - $21, 284,480 ($20,737,430). Corporation income - $181, 441 ($192,853). Amusement device - $174, 609 ($181,545). Electric cooperatives-$147,. 195 ($139,994).

Rural telephone exchange- $80,130 ($75,035). 4 J Washington Report By William (c) United Featura Syndicate FITS RELATIONSHIP Washington - "Crisis" is a much - abused word, but "crisis" is the right word all the same for what, in a deep sense, this country faces in the developing re lationship be tween the fed e r a 1 govern ment and the physicians of America. A s the Senate moves toward de cisive votes on the administra tion's plan for medical care for the aged based on com pulsory social security tax ation, one thing is morally certain. That is that not in many years has there been so great a need for a wise and temperate and resolutely re sponsible congressional course. It must neither deny reason able help to the old and hon estly needy nor yet go so far as to drive the doctors of this nation into something ap proaching civil disobedience to the government of the United Slates. IiO SUGGEST that civil dis- obedience might in some circumstances actually be the result is to sound melodrama tic in a country so long rccus tomed to seeing bitter po litical arguments end at last in some rough accommodation between the parties. We l?nd to think that only excitable foreigners unfami liar with the traditions of free and orderly government go in for this sort of thing. France, Latin America, the Balkans, perhaps yes; not, surely, the United States of America. But the old, easy certainty Is here no longer In this time of great and sweeping change. For now, in a neighboring and quite similar and sensible University Plans Commencement During Summer Eugene - This year the Uni versity of Oregon will have a commencement at the end of the summer sessions to con fer degrees on those who have completed requirements for graduation during the sum mer, President Arthur S Flemming has announced. The new summer com mencement will make It pos sible for ir.ose who have met graduation requirements to receive their degrees without waiting almost a year until June, 1963, commencement. It also will help keep the June commencement to a manageable size. Last June the graduating class totaled 2,034, the largest in the Uni versity's history. The summer commence ment will be Saturday, Aug., 11, at 9 a.m., standard time, in the outdoor auditorium east of the music building. The exercises will be similar to those in June, with proces sional, reading of candidates' names, and direct participa tion by ad'fiirs of doctoral candidates. All available faculty mem bers will march in the proccs-1 sional, and some will serve as marshals. For the summer commence ment, no diplomas will be prepared beforehand, and fi nal checking will be done aft er Aug. 11. Students may re quest Certificates of Comple tion to be sent Immediately after final clearence and be fore diplomas are mailed. Degree applications for Aug. 11 will not be accepted after July 31. If the degree is not cleared for Aug. 11, a new application will be re quired for the June, 1963, ; commencement. Arkansas Project Sent To Senate 1 Washington - (UPU - The Senate Interior Committee to day sent the $170 million Fry- f Ingpan Arkansas Heciamauon , Project to the Senate floor without change from the House-passed version. The measure was approved this year by the House for the first time despite repeal ed tries during the past de cade.

PGE Applies for Exclusive Service Salem - ITU - The second biggest electric utility In Ore gon, Portland General Elec tric Co., ha applied to the state for exclusive service in parts of seven Western Ore gon counties. The counties are Multno mah, Marlon, Clackama, Polk, Yamhill, Washington, wait S. White country, Canada, Ihe whole province of Saskatchewan is torn by a doctors' strike against the government's com pulsory medical care plan. If it can happen in nearby Can ada, so close to us in so many ways, no man can longer wholly exclude the p o s s i -bility that il can happen here. (In substance, it is happening in Austria, too; but then that is Austria.) UOR the plain truth is thai this is no ordinary politico-economic issue. The issue here is noiiung less than a bilter and fundamental con test on philosophic concepts between the President of the United States and the power ful organization of American physicians, the American Medical association. This is no mere bread-and-butter and dollars -and - cents dispute. Justifiably or not, the organized doctors of this country see themselves as under attack as a learned pro fession accustomed to total in dependence and almost as sus picious of lay opinion of mat ters even touching their pro fession as they arc on lay opinion of their diagnoses. j Whether they are right or wrong is almost incidental and, in practical fact, almost irrelevant. Even if they are j wholly wrong, they cannot be i treated as bus drivers or postal clerks. This is not be-: cause they are better than j bus drivers or postal clerks, or j are more equal, so to speak, i under the law.

JULY 13, because no medical care sys tem of whatever kind - and no matter how many votes it marshals in Congress - will ever work so long as they re main mortally opposed to it. CJOME degree of their con- sent simply must be a pre-1 condition to any plan having the slighest chance for suc cess. This being the central reality, the time is at hand for some politician to arise in Congress and become a states man by finding an acceptable middle way in that art of com promise which is the heart of good politics. Such a thing can be done. It was done in 1948 by a man named Robert A. Taft amid all the nationally dangerous labor -management struggles that followed the war. Sen ator Taft put all his prestige and skill - though admittedly on a somewhat less sensitive issue - into making a rational labor-management act which would be fair to both. He had to fight extreme mangemcnt quite as hard as extreme la bor. But in the end he prevailed, and reason and the national interest prevailed, in the Taft Hartley labor act. Was it sound?
