MEDFOBD, OREGON Catapult Idea Revived in Novel Weapon Designs New York -lUPli- The prin ciple of the catapult, the siege artillery of the Roman Em pire and of the Middle Arcs, is revived in one of two novel new weapon designs being submitted to the U.S. military authorities. The catapult is intended to throw a 300 to 400-pound load such as a jellied gasoline fire bomb to attack a strong en emy position or to hurl pack ages of ammunition, food or other supplies or an anchor and a cable to friendly troops pinned down by enemy fire or a natural obstacle. The other weapon, the "grasshopper," looks like a small flying saucer and would be used to catapult one or two soldies carrying assault weap ons over a low hill, a small river or a swamp or from ice floe to ice floe in Arctic war fare. It would be capable of traveling in leaps of 150 feet or more for 150 miles or even more. Mora Revolutionary The grasshopper will take troops in a hurry many places that cannot be penetrated by ordinary vehicles and where the use of helicopters would be subjected to undue risks The grasshopper is the more revolutionary of the new weapons, but its potential uses have not been fully explored, according to J. J. Mascuch, president of The Breeze Cor porations, designer of both systems. On the other hand, he said the broad usefulness of the small catapult, especially in terrain like Korea, Laos or Vietnam for counter-insurgent or what military men call "low yield warfare," should be apparent to every military man. "The catapult of the Ro mans and the medieval armies was a huge ungainly affair of massive beams, counter weights and twisted ropes that had to be dragged by huge gangs of men," he explained. "The Breeze Long Range Stores Delivery Device, as the ratapult is technically labeled, is a neat precision machince that weighs less than 1,000 pounds and folds up into a small trailer rather like the naul-it-yourseir ' trailer you rent from a neighborhood gHS station. Power from Cartridge Yet this tiny catapult will throw a 350 pound object 450 feet forward or up and over a hill almost 250 feet high. This great power Is obtained from a modified 37-millimeler ex plosive cartridge. Instead of driving a projectile from a cannon barrel, the explosive drives a piston mechanism. The piston actuates an in geniously designed system of strong levers and springs that hurls the load just as the an cient catapult did but with a range and accuracy the me dieval engineers didn't dream of. Mascuch is a veteran In ventor of military devices. He developed the first radio shielding for aircraft and the first body armor for military aviators. Breeze makes many military and aerial devices, in cluding the rescue hoists and winches used to retrieve our austronauts from the sea after their successful flights in orbit. 117 S.

SAIG TIL DEMONSTR ATION 1190 ) U FAMILY COUNCIL Editor', not.: The Vamllv rniin ctl conslits of ft judge, psyrhla trlit. three clrrcymen, three editor, .nd . women', editor. Each article It ft lummary of a family dlha.ree- nieni presenteo to the council. The Council deals with problems, mator ind minor, encountered by guid ance counselor, and social worker. Kdited by Mr.. Alma Denny. (Copy right by General feature. Corp.) Fran W. (Mother) - Maybe if I disgrace her to her friends she'll stop stealing. Mrs. S. K. (Grandmother) - That's too drastic. Stop set ting temptation in her way. Fran W. - Our daughter is 8 years old. We're alarmed over her stealing. First it was chocolate bars from her old er sister's room, then it was small change from my purse. Now she turns up with small items that I'm sure she has pilfered from the stationery store - an eraser, a key ring, a comic book I haven't given her the money to buy. She claims someone gave them to her but she "forgets" who. Her allowance of 25 cents a week can't cover their cost. We know we must nip this fast. Punishment hasn't stop ped it. I'm ready to scare her with a policeman or expose her to her playmates. Mdi. S. K. - I'd hate to see Fran make things worse by making this problem public. I'm sure there must be a sen sible way to appeal to Joan. I'm willing to talk to her and try to get her to confess. Then I can help her plan to pay back her sister, her moth-. er and the stationery slora man. She can take so much out of her allowance each week, and we can help her "earn" small amounts so that the debts get paid up fast. After that, we must help her handle temptation. Joan is a bright child, but she seems sulky and unhap py these days. Maybe it's her conscience bothering her and we can tackle the problem that way, quietly and privately. The Council - Your daugh ter, Fran, has turned to this alarming method of crying, "Help!" By reaching out to grab treats and possessions, she seeks in this desperate way to fill a lack in her life which torments her. We agree with your mother that if you steal Joans good name you will make things worse. Instead, your job is to track, dawn the causes of Joan's misery. Does she feel overshadowed by her older sister - out in the cold? Is she thrown with what you might call spoiled kids who have lots of spend ing money and make her 25 cents inadequate for keeping up with them? Psychologists claim that when a young child steals, it is a sign of insecuri ty. She is trying to ease pains of rejection and disapproval by collecting objects which comfort her. Naturally punishment can't help because it merely re minds Joan that she's doing something wrong, which she knows anyway. It doesn't re move the cause of her wrong doing, or indicate a better way of meeting her needs. Mrs. K.'s approach sounds promising, provided her rap port with Joan Is rich enough to evoke confession. Basically Joan needs reas surance from her parents and her sister that she's accepted and loved. All the child wants is something rock bottom to hold on to, the way an in fant hugs a teddy bear in the dark. Once she is solidly cer tain of her place in the fami ly "heart," she won't feel the need to surround herself with trifles and trophies to fill her life. Meanwhile the seriousness of her acts must be impressed upon her, with retribution -via saved-up pennies - an im perative. Aid in budgeting, or an allowance raise, must be considered, too. But the long view backward and for ward is the right one. Joan will turn out fine if her pres ent behavior is handled as a legitimate "distress signal" and treated with sympathy. FRIDAY AND SATURDAY For bathroom, shower wills, kitchen and bath (loon, counter topi, coffee table topi, Medford Man Gets Institution Term Robert Charles Mount, 230 Bcatty st., Medford, has been sentenced to 3' s years in the Oregon State Correctional in stitution for contributing to the delinquency of a minor. He appeared in Jackson Coun ty Circuit court Tuesday. Ho had pleaded guilty to the charges earlier. Tlie case of Kenneth Elston Dailey, Sckiu, Wash., was continued for sentencing pending receipt of an FBI report. Dailey appeared in circuit court on charges of violating his probation by absconding from the supervision of his parole officer and falling to abide by the instructions of his supervising officer. Dailey was placed on proba tion over year ago after he pleaded guilty to charges of burglary not in a dwelling.
