MtDFORD MAIL THI8UNE, MEDFORD, OREGON X. Hunuhlf 1, 1963 Try and Stop Me By BENNETT CERF THE LATE President McCracken of Vassar College once delivered a lecture in an Albany high school that neither he nor the audience ever forgot. There were to be accompanying lantern slides on "Campus Life," but by mistake, the pic tures put into the slide box depicted scenes on a big dairy farm near Vas sar. Prexy fticCracken opened his talk by say ing, "I'd like you to lock at a picture of Matthew Vassar, who founded our college in 1861." On to the screen came a picture of a great Holstein bull. A roar went up. The em barrassed McCracken clicked the signal, and began again, "And here are some of our beautiful Vassar students." Out came a herd of cows, climbing over each other in their haste to get into green pastures. By this time the audience was so hysterical that the poor college president had to call off the speech. A howling mob of high school boys and girls went tottering off to green pastures of their own. James Michener was reminiscing about the fabulous ovation given to "South Pacific," based on his Pulitzer Prize winning book, on its opening night. He said, "I wont to bed the night the show opened a nobody, and awoke the next morning to find Mary Martin and Ezio Pinza immortal!" Sign in a cleaning establislunent in Charlotte, N.

S. of ficials have now removed most of the wraps from the celebrated "black box" which has played a prominent role in nuclear test ban talks with Russia. What emerges is not a black box at all-although it started out ns that-but a vault with a floor space of perhaps 200 square feet. The mysterious name has been abandoned, and the de vice now has the entirely pro saic title of "unmanned seis mic station." President Kennedy and Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev recently exchang ed letters about placing a number of these stations in the United States, Britain and Russia to cheek against secret underground nuclear tests. Man, 26, Charged With Intent To Kill Stevenson, Wash. -WPD-Carl Perkins, 26, was being held in the Skamania county jail here today on a charge of assault with intent to kill.

Hospital Doctors On Strike in Italy Rome -(UPD- Hospital doc tors throughout Italy went on strike today to back up de mands for "radical reform" of the hospital system, higher pay, and an extension of re tirement age from 65 to 70. The doctors staged similar strikes last year. They said a bill approved by the govern ment recently failed to satisfy their demands. Doctofs said they would continue treating urgent cases, taking care of birth and death certificates, reporting on infectious diseases and so forth but would suspend rou tine work. Fishery Research Program Proposed Washington -IUP1I- A five year program to provide up to $25 million in federal funds to help states develop fishery resources was proposed today by both East and West Coast senators. A bill to authorize the pro gram was introduced by Sen. E. L. Bartlett (D-Alaska) who said up to $5 million could be appropriated each year to help tne states carry out commer cial fishery research and de velopment. Bartlett said he and several of his colleagues had worked on the legislation "for a num ber of months." The funds would be appor tioned to the states on a matching basis according to the value of each state's fish production. Flemming Elected By Muscular Dystrophy Eugene -(UPD- Dr. Arthur S. Flemming, president of the University of Oregon, has been elected to the board of directors of the Muscular Dys trophy Association of Amcri- gggS-a. JUS-"- - ' f3 W ' .if Rep. Dellenback Defends Cat Bill Salem (UPD Rep. John Del lenback (R-Medford) has come to the defense of his cat bill. The bill would permit coun ties to control stray cats in a manner similar to the one now used to control stray dogs. Dellenback said his mail on the subject indicates there is some misunderstanding over the plan. Ho stressed it does not provide for licensing of domestic cats. "When over i.Wci' Jackson county residents petition to have something done about hundreds of stray cats being dumped along county roads by thoughtless people, I think tncy are entitled to a hear ing," he said. AEC Spending in California Noted Washington (UPD Expendi tures in California by the Atomic Energy Commission may exceed $320 million dur ing the fiscal year beginning July 1, according to Rep. Craig Hosmer (R-Calif.). Hosmer, a member of the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy, . said Thursday more than $280 million had been budgeted for AEC operations in California. Spending on construction will include $36 million for the Stanford linear acceler ator and $4.5 million is bud geted for improvements and additions at the Lawrence Ra diation Laboratory in Berke ley. The number, location and details of the stations is one subject of U.S.-British-Soviet test ban talks now going on in New York. Which Side First? Which side first proposed the original "black box" is a subject of dispute. At any rate, it came up at a confer ence of international scien tists in London last Septem ber. As then discussed, it was a box in which the West would place seismic instru ments which measure earth tremors. The box was to be sealed and the Russians were to fly it to agreed locations in the Soviet Union and re turn it later to be opened and the data read. The trouble was that U. S. government scientists feared it would be theoretically possible-even though vastly com-plicated-for the Russians to fly the box to the wrong area of Russia and jobble it subtle ly so as to reproduce the normal earthquake data for another area in which they would be secretly testing. What U. S. officials now propose is a vault which the Russians would build in a tunnel or a hole in the ground. International teams would place in it six seis mometers. Three of these would measure earth tremors traveling near the surface. Three would measure those traveling deep under ground. Use Magnetic Tape All would record the data on a magnetic tape, which would move at between one tenth and one-hundredth of an inch per second, and pos sibly also on film. The vault would have a tamper-proof door, and inter national teams would visit it periodically to remove the tapes for analysis. Engineering the tape re corders is one of two parts of the vault which the United States has not yet worked out in detail. The other is the power supply, which prefer ably would be from power lines but could be batteries, propane gas generators or radio isotope power units. In recent talks Russia ap parently has not spelled out in detail what it has in mind for an unmanned seismic sta tion.
