MONDAY. JANUARY 7. 1963
By Cleve Twllchtll
Regional Editor
The
w. Fry and his reported en
counter with a spacecraft
from outer space described in
Sunday's Mail Tribune, is just
another chapter in a story
that has been told since the
beginning of civilization
earth.
Dr. Carl Sagan (one news
story called him a Harvard
professor of astronomy, an
other an astronomer at the
University of California,
take your pick) was quoted
as saying recently that there
are at least a million inhabit
ed planets in the Milky Way
galaxy that have developed
civilizations capable of space
travel. If our memory serves
us correctly, Dr. Sagan was
also quoted as saying he
thought earth had been visit
ed by spacemen at least 10,'
000 times since the planet
was formed.
There are references to
strange objects in the sky
and to visits by God-like be
ings in practically all eras
of recorded history of our
planet, and also in the legends
which preceded all recorded
history. Some UFOlogcrs be
lieve that all the references
to fiery chariots and the like
in the Bible involve inter
planetary spacecraft. Others
think "angels" were men
from other worlds. Still oth
ers think the star of Bethle
hem was a spacecraft.
Persons who think that
only uneducated, foolish mor
ons believe in the existence
of life on other planets might
be interested In the following
little tidbit gleaned from a
book called "Seeds of Liber
ty" by Max Savelle. This is
a book of speeches made by
early American patriots. One
of the speeches printed there
in is by Benjamin Franklin,
speaking against the impor
tation of colored slaves to
the United States. He points
out that the Caucasian race
is on a world-wide basis a
minority race, adding:
"I could wish their (the
whites) numbers were in
creased. And while we are,
as I may call it, scouring our
planet, by clearing America
of woods, and so making this
side of our globe reflect a
brighter light to the eyes Of
inhabitants in Mars or Venus,
why should we, in the sight
of superior beings, darken its
people?"
One must first consider the
possibility that Franklin was
misquoted. Then we must also
consider the possibility that
he was joking. But if he
wasn't misquoted and wasn't
joking, then he said a mouth
ful. He said that 1. there were
inhabitants "in" Mars and
Venus, 2. they were capable
of observing earth, and 3.
they were superior beings.

Those Big Headlines
Most eight or nine column
banner headlines one sees
in daily newspapers are con
cerned with some important
event of serious internation
al, national or local signifi
cance. And so it was with
some interest that we noted
an eight column banner in
fairly large type last Thurs
day on page 2C of the Grants
Pass Courier. It screamed:
"BLACK BEAR SCRAM
BLES ACROSS HIGHWAY
NEAR SELMA."

Motor Smaller Than
A Pinhead Is Shown
Yreka - Visitors to the Sis
kiyou County Museum were
given an additional treat this
past week by an exhibit of
the world's . smallest motor,
being displayed by its creator
and owner, William McClel
lan of Pasedena.
The motor which is small
er than a pinhead must be
viewed through a microscope.
Only l64th inch to a side
it works like a big one. It
won a prize of $1,000, offered
by Dr. Richard Feynman of
Caltech upon completion two
years ago.
McClcllan, a miniaturiza
tion specialist for Optical
Systems, a Pasedena firm, de
veloped the micromotor In
two and a half months on his
own time, working always
with the aid of a microscope.
Only IS one-thousands of
an inch in diameter, it's no
larger than a pencil dot
about the size of the period
at the end of this sentence,
Yet it contains four coils
(21 turns per coil) of wire
two one-thousands of an inch
in diameter, a quartz bearing,
a tiny rotor - 13 parts in all
- and it has an output of
one-millionth horsepower.
Described as a two-phase,
permanent nibpnet, synchon-
ous motor, the all but invis
ible development was built
largely with a watchmakers'
lathe, microscope and sharp
toothpick. It turns electrical
energy (50 milliamps) into
mechanical energy to whirl
its minute motor.
McClellan accompanied by
his wife and two daughters
was visiting here over the
holidays with his mother,
Mrs. Rosamond Westover.
