Day, Rogue valley mountain climber, sportsman and rancher, told member of the-Mcdford Rotary club here Tuesday of his experience in climbing lofty Alaskan, Can adian and U.S. peaks. Speaking at a luncheon meeting at the Rogue Valley Country club, Day showed pictures of various mountains lie had conquered. The high light of his address was a first hand description of the widely publicized 1960 acci dent when his party was climbing Mt. McKinley, in which lie suffered a broken leg. He also told of the dra matic rescue. In what Day termed an ill advised rescue attempt by air, two men lost their lives when their aircraft crashed into Mt. McKinley's slope at the 18,- 000 foot level. A display of all types of mountain climbing equipment also was arranged by John Day so that his audience might see first hand the gear used in the sport. Garrison Closes Strip Joints On Bourbon Street By I. J. VIDACOVICH United Press Iniernaiional New Orleans - IUPII - Inside one of the joints that line Bourbon Street, a bored strip per mechanically goes through her act to a phonograph rec ord of "Patricia" on a runway behind the bar. Ten minutes later, like as not, she will sidle up to a male customer at the bar and suggest that he buy her a drink, too. At $2.65 per drink. Outside, a barker entices the tourists, making it all sound exciting and naughty to the men and like a peek into perdition for the women. Down the street, with its lacy iron grillwork and its patina of a more opulent age, are night clubs for the jazz buffs. There is an ail gallery. There a superb restaurant. Here is a place to go and sing along with two entertainers at twin concert grand pianos There is a shop that sells kewpie dolls, postcards and cheap souvenirs. Behind that dinghy door is a fine apart ment house with a swimming pool. Next to the curb is a portable hot dog stand. Brassy and Muted Bourbon Street is what you want. Brassy and muted, charming and bawdy, historic and tinselly, and in trouble. The strip joints have been one of the major attractions. Tens of thousands of tour ists visit them every year, es pecially at Sugar Bowl and Mardi Gras times. District Attorney Jim Gar rison, in office for less than a year, wants to sweep out the trashy and the downright criminal on the street. What will it do to the legitimate businesses? He now has five strip joints under padlock. Several club owners admit they know of no way to stop him from closing every "joint" on the street if that is his intention. There have been arrests for prostitution. Perverts have been seized in raids. There Is no complaint about this sort 1 It? y i , i J- i .

It's no longer a fiction writ er's fantasy but a solid labor atory fact that may someday radically affect industry, ac cording to a joint announce ment by officials of the U.S. Forest Products laboratory here and the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, In research supported by a laboratory grant to the uni versity's department of wood technology, holes have been cut into hard maple and other wood species by lightning-fast bursts of red light, according to Dr. Edward G. Locke, lab oratory director, and Dr. Ste phen B. Preston, department chairman. But these first pioneering probes, they cautioned, are a far cry from industrial-type processes. Steel Needed "Steel saws and blades are in no danger now of being out moded by this development," they agreed. "We have just be gun to probe the possibilities, and much research lies ahead developments in equip ment and techniques come along." Source of the intense light bursts is a laser. One of the newest triumphs of physics re search, the device is also being investigated for uses ranging from space communications and surgery to fantastic "death-ray" type military weapons. The beam shoots straight ahead in the direction aimed, rather than scattering like normal light. The name "laser" is a coin ed word consisting of the first letters of the physical princi pal involved, "Light Amplifi cation by Stimulated Emission of Radiation." Bryan Toils In a report to the federal laboratory here, Eugene L. Bryan, University of Michigan graduate student who carried out the experiments in con nection with his Ph. D. thesis work, concluded: While the tests conducted were very limited in scope, they have served to demon strate that wood can be ma chined in a controlled manner through the use of a laser, pro vided certain conditions are met." Bryan's experiments were done with the most powerful type of laser yet developed. Heart of the device is a pencil-shaped synthetic ruby rod around which is coiled a xen on flash tube. When the xenon tube Is energized with a high voltage current, its . intense light excites the electrons in chromium atoms present in tne ruby rod. Energy Reflected These electrons eive off en- ergy in the form of light pho- of cleanup. But what of the strip places that attract, if only through curiosity, tour ists who are normal, decent citizens. Likes Good Clubs Garrison does not feel Bour bon Street will be hurt in the long run. "I'm not against night clubs. But these (the strip clubs) are not night clubs. They're tourist traps." His main targets arc clubs where strippers mix with cus tomers and ask for drinks. Garrison calls it "a form of commercial vice that is very vicious-its purpose is to emp ty the entire contents of the unwary wallet." He also labels it a cover for prostitution, and claims that when his undercover agents investigated Uhe clubs on the street, they were approached by 22 women and got 22 of fers of prostitution." Frank Carracci, who owns three strip clubs and the famed Court of Two Sisters restaurant, disagreed. He said organizations have cancelled "convention on top of conven tion" because of the word that Bourbon Street has changed. "They tell me," he said, "That all we have to offer now is old buildings, and they want more than that." Evils of Drinks Club owner Larry Lamarca disagreed with Garrison on the "evils" of B-drinking. "Most men who come Into the clubs come in to talk with the girls. Most of them begin by asking 'How did you get into this business,' and "How do you feel when you're up there on stage.' It seldom goes farther than that," Lamarca said. The closing of the first club under court order, Jazz Ltd., surprised the old timers along the street. A bartender said "That was known as one of the Sunday school clubs. The owners were really tough about keeping the club In line. If he (Garrison) can close that one, he can close them all." Others of the bright light clubs are dimming. There are 27 night spots featuring strip tease entertainment on Bour bon Street. Seven of them have been denied liquor li censes for 1963. tons, which are reflected back and forth from end to end of the ruby rod, stimulating the excited chromium electrons to emit more light energy. This cascading effect builds up un til an intense flash of red light bursts from the less re flective end of the ruby rod. With the equipment avail able to him, Bryan was able to pin-point 3 to 6 bursts of this light a minute on wood. The intense heat literally vap orized the wood at the point where the beam was focused, but left little evidence of burning or charring. Instead, the walls of the holes thus made had a glazed appearance. Each pulse of light penetrat ed about 1 32 to 116 inch deep. The resulting hole was about 0.03 inch in diameter. Could Cut Log "Since the effective dura tion of each pulse is on the or der of 50 microseconds," Bry an said, "it appears that a con tinuous beam of comparable power would be capable of penetrating a 30-inch log in less than 1'20 of a second." Pending new developments, no further research is contem plated on lasers as potential wood-cutting devices at this time, according to Dr. Locke. Bryan himself is "almost certain" that the highpowered continuous laser will be forthcoming In view of the large-scale research and devel opment, much of it with fed eral government support, now being concentrated on various types of lasers. The laser research, Dr. Locke pointed out, is one of a number of investigations be ne sponsored under Forest Products Laboratory grants at universities where special equipment and skills are avail able for the kind of work needed to be done. Other schools with such grants are the Universities of California, Idaho, Minnesota, Wisconsin. Colorado State, Purdue, Ore gon State, and the New York State College of Forestry at Syracuse. Four-Week Seminar Set at University Eugene - A special four- week seminar for high school publications advisers and teachers of journalism will be held at the University of Ore gon school of journalism dur ing June and July, 1963. Sponsored by the Newspa per Fund, an educational foundation supported by the Wall Street Journal, the semi nar will be one of 12 con ducted at universities in the United States. The Oregon seminar will be the only one scheduled for the northwest, according to Paul S. Swensson of New York, executive di rector of the Newspaper Fund. About 25 high school jour nalism teachers from Oregon and other northwest slates are expected to attend the semi nar, and each will be award. ed a Newspaper Fund grant to finance his attendance. Course work based on ma. tcrlal offered during the regu. Iar academic year will make up part of the seminar pro gram, Dean John L. Hulteng of the school of journalism indicated. Areas to be covered include newspaper reporting, copy- editing and make-up, history of journalism, mechanics of production, editorial writing, photography, and advertising. Seminar members also will at tend dally workshop sessions dealing with problems of sec ondary school publications. A similar seminar was held at the school of journalism during the summer of 1961, Portland Firm Low Ship Bidder Portland - (IfPD - Willamette Iron and Steel Co., Portland, was first in line for a big ship conversion job Tuesday, it was reported here. Wisco submit ted the lowest of nine bids opened by the Navy at Wash ington. The Wisco bid was $9,780,- 000. The Navy said the Job in volved conversion of two victory-type freighters Into tech nical research ships each with quarters for 358 men, labora tories, and other research gear. The next lowest bid was submitted by Puget Sound Bridge & Dredging Co.. Se attle. Other bidders were on the East Coast and Gulf ports. A spokesman for Wisco said the two ships involved are the Simmons Victory and Iran victory, both of which were constructed at the Oregon Shipyard during World War II.

Bowsprit From Old Vessel Recovered Astoria - IUPD - The bow sprit from the old wreck of the Peter Iredale was re claimed from the sands of the Pacific Ocean Tuesday by a group of Astoria men using heavy equipment, Including a nign-pressure pump. The bowsprit was lost from the hulk of the wrecked land mark in a storm In November, 1961. Various civic organiza tions talked of trying to re cover it from the sand, but eventually it was covered completely. Sunday, Dudley Goff of ra. dio station KAST discovered the tides had uncovered it again. Tuesday, volunteers brought In a pump to remove the remaining sand and equip ment to drag the 45-foot-long object up on the beach. There is no hope of attaching it to the rusting hulk of the old sailing ship, but members of the Clatsop County Historical Society have suggested put ting it in their museum at As toria or mounting it at the parking lot near the wreck.
