John Day Relates
His Experiences
John S. 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

Laser Research May Develop
Light Ray To Penetrate Wood
Madison, Wis. Cut wood
with a beam of light?
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

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.

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.
