MEDFORD, OREGON ON PERCH - To attract tour ists to southern Washington, the Ccntralia Chamber of Commerce erected this space capsule atop the 183-iool tower and then offered a $1,000 scholarship to anyone spending 84 days In the tower. Lorcn Wolff, 18, has so far spent 51 days In the capsule, which is 12 feet in diameter. (UPI) POULTRY CUTBACK New York -4UPD- Housewives soon may have to pay more for broiling chickens and eggs as poultry farmers cut back on production In a move to lift depressed prices. Growers have reduced purchases of chicks for broilers by three per cent, from last year and chicks for eggs by seven per cent. Supermarkets Take Place of Churches In Italian Economy Rome - UPD - Italy Is get ting more like America every day. The country that once de voted its talents and riches to building magnificent cathe drals now it -putting up su permarkets. Ita people, with some of the world's great art treas ures around them, have be come compulsive television watchers. .. They drive fast cars, eat packaged foods and spend their leisure racing frantic ally along overcrowded high ways to get to high priced, overcrowded resorts. Italy is a nation In transi tion slowly but unmlstak ingly gearing itself to high speed, high pressure living and a quest for creature com forts.

C.nlr.l 772-6011 Russians Explode Nuclear Bomb Uppsala, Sweden-(UPD-The Soviet Union today exploded another bomb in its current series of nuclear tests in the Arctic region, Swedish sci entists reported. The Uppsala University Scismological Institute said the explosion occurred In the Novaya Zemlya testing area. It estimated the force of the bomb at nine megatons, equivalent to nine million tons of TNT. The atomspherlc explosion was the second by the Soviets at Novaya Zemlya In two days. On Monday a bomb of 12-mcgaton force was regist ered on instruments at the institute here. Today's blBst was the fourth In the current series, which started Aug. 5. The first of the series was a huge 40- meg aton bomb, the second largest ever exploded by the Russians. Rita Hayworth Taken To Hospital New York-dJPn-Actrcss Rita Hayworth,' feeling "slightly anemic," was admitted to Flower Fifth Ave. Hospital here Tuesday for a checkup. Her condition wos called "sat isfactory.' Miss Hayworth has been re hearsing for a starring role in the play "Step on a Crack," due for introduction in Tor onto next month and Broad way in October. A spokesman for the producers said she would have to be replaced in the role unless she could re turn to rehearsals within a few days. ey a commodity wnicn was In short supply in Italy until a few years ago. Consumer Adapts While Italy has a long way to go to catch up with the prosperity of the United States or even many of its Eu ropean neighbors, the Italian consumer has seen the shape of the future and has proved himself adaptable. To a great extent, he spends his new wealth on what the economists call conspicuous consumption or what also is termed "keep ing up with the Joneses." Television antennae can be seen rising from the wooden roofs of shacks that lack even modern plumbing. There are now some three million tele vision sets in the country, which has a population of SO million. Italian children who were ignored by the world of com merce before now are sub jected to broadcast appeals to "tell Mom to buy 'brand X' with toys in every box" so much so that a parlia mentary drive is under way to ban such gifts as unfair competition. Television commercials also apparently have stimulated a great increase in demand for electrical appliances, but the Italian home still has a far smaller range of such gadgets than are available to the American housewife. Supermarkets Supermarkets are a rela tively recent phenomena in Italy. A score have popped up in Rome alone in the past five years and they have spread to small towns. The supermarkets represent a radical change in shopping habits for Italian housewives. Unlike America, Italy has no all - purpose small grocery stores. There are separate stores for meat, canned goods, fresh fruits and vegetables, and bread. Making the rounds of the stores, meeting and talking with friends and shop keepers, has traditionally been an important part of the social life of the Italian house wife. ' But supermarket prices generally are 10 to 15 per cent below other shops and there are the enticements of faster shopping and wider choice. Probably the most spectac ular indication of Italy's new wealth Is the profusion of au tomobiles on streets that only a few years ago swarmed with bicycles. Today there are no bicycles to speak of. The less affluent Italians ride motor scooters. The compact car seems to be strictly a product of economic necessity, to be dispensed with as soon as the family income permits purchase of a larger model.

D. QUIGG New York-l?D-We are sit ting in on the start of a revo lution in global communcia tions. But don't expect world wide instant television to burst forth all at once. There is much experimental work to be done. Telstar, the remarkable fly ing communicator that is whizzing around this slightly pear-shaped globe every 157 minutes, has already televis ed President Kennedy and a herd of buffalo right into Eur ope which has sent us back former President Eisenhower and some waltzing horses, among other live Images. The first active, or repeat er, communications satellite has successfully been used for both black-and-white and col or television; for one-way and two-way telephone calls; for photofacsimile and high speed data transmission. Global Pictur What will be the global pic ture in communications with satellites two years from now about the time of the sum mer Olympic games in Japan? Better. But frankly, probably not too much better. In three years? Probably still intermit tent service. Five years? We'll be doing pretty well to have the first full-time satellite ays tern operating by then 24 hour service where you can pick up the phone anytime and you're there. The foregoing estimate Is a consensus. It was arrived at by interview of various ex perts in the private communi cations field. Any opinions in the short-range projection of two to five years are clouded by imponderables of politics, economics and technical com petence. The experimental shots to prove out technical compe tence include three in the fairly Immediate offing. Re lay, a satellite with twice as much electronics equipment but about two pounds lighter than the 170-pound telestar, is scheduled to be launched this fall. So is another tele star, more sophisticated than the first. Next year, there is sched uled the launch of high-flying SYNCOM, the first of the synchronous type of communciations satellites that are believed by many experts to be the ultimate system in point of efficiency, economy, and operational advantage Three could cover the world. SYNCOM But the national aeronau tics and space administration (NASA) does not now have booster power enough to put a sizeable payload into the orbit altitude necessary for a synchronous satellite - 22, 300 miles above the equator. The first SYNCOM will weight only 40 to 50 pounds, and therefore will have no television-only one voice cir cuit. A synchronous satellite stays above a fixed spot on the earth. It just hovers there because the speed necessary to stay in orbit at 22,300 miles meshes exactly with the speed of the earth's rotation. Meanwhile, the British are building a conventional - cir cuit cable to go around the world. A joint American-Japanese effort is extending the present U.S.-Hawaii cable on across the Pacific. And one expert for the American Tele phone and Telegraph Co. (AT&T), which built telestar, is convinced they'll be able to build a transocean cable to carry television within five years. The AT&T expects that when the first satellite sys tem gets in full function, it will be "one leg on a three legged stool" that will carry global communciations in this order of volume: (1) ocean cable, (2) satellites, (3) radio transmission. Radio telephony will be declining but will still have a role, as the old DC3 still does in air passenger hauling. The market for voice trans mission is big and is increas ing in volume by 8 to 10 per cent a year. Data transmission is expected to increase at a faster rate than that. The satellites will add the ca pacity for television and also will carry voice and data. The cables will handle voice, data and facsimile. Postal Union Votes Increase in Dues Portland -tlTC- The national convention of the United Fed eration of Postal Clerks, AFL CIO, voted the largest dues in crease in the union's history Tuesday. The increase from 75 cents to $1 a month is expected to bring an additional $360,000 a year to the union. Union leaders said most of the additional money would be used to pay full-time vice presidents in each of the na tion's 15 postal districts and to train national, regional and local leaders in collective bar gaining techniques. Other money will be diverted for lobbying activities How To Hold FALSE TEETH More Firmly in Place Do your false teath annoy and em barrass by allpplni, dropping or wob bling when you eat. lauRh or talk?
