Mobile Substation
Maintained Here
A massive mobile substa
tion, equipped to roll along
highways at high speeds for
use throughout Pacific Power
& Light company's southern
Oregon and northern Califor
nia system, has been deliver
ed to the company and Is
ready for its job of maintain
ing electric service to custo
mers.
Frank Bash, Copco division
manager, explained the unit
will be stationed at Medford
st the approximate center of
the Copco division operations
west of the Cascades.
"All of our customers are
going to benefit from the
availability of this useful
piece of equipment, because
it will make it possible to
maintain power service at
times when our customers
miaht otherwise have been in
convenienced," Bash stated
this week.
The equipment Is described
ss one of three such units Pa
cific Power now has located
strateeically throughout i t s
Oregon, W a s h I n g ton and
. northern California service
areas for use in emergencies
when a substation is knocked
out of service or when need
ed to take over the substation
' function while routine main
tenance work is in progress.
Mounted on a semi-trailer,
the $72,000 mobiles substation
consists of a large-capacity
transformer that can handle
' 69,000 and 120,000 volt cir
cuits, plus all of the auxiliary
terminal and Insulating equip
ment required for the job of
reducing high voltage "juice"
to lower voltage for distribu
tion to customers.
It was specially designed
to comply with highway ve
hicle weight limitations.

Space Agency Plans Manned Station To Carry Astronauts
...., ,,. . . j i taaa I (om nf h itvrnatinn mav hp I Rut the sear
By LEON DANIEL
- Cap Caneveral - lUPl) - The
federal space agency is de
signing a space station that
could carry 30 men and stay
in orbit up to five years.
According to first drawings
the station would resemble a
huge doughnut with three
spokes joined to an inside
hub. Astronauts would use
the hub to land their space
ships and to board again for
the return trip back down to
earth. ,
Nuclear Rocket
The nuclear rocket is con
sidered the next major step in
space propulsion, but it is a
step the United States is hav
ing trouble taking.
It now looks as though
America's first nuclear-powered
rocket won't fly until
1968 or later. The reason is
that serious troubles have de
veloped in a prototype pro
gram called Rover.
The Rover series presently
is testing several engines at
a proving center in Nevada
bcientlsts had hoped to use
the knowledge to build a nuc
lear rocket by 1967. But new
engineering problems and dif
ficulties in finding the right
materials are threatening to
delay the problem a year or
more.
Telemetry System
A new 85-foot telemetry
system has been put in opera
tion on the Atlantic missile
range which starts at Cape
Canaveral,
The big dish is at Palm
Bay, Fla. - just south of the
missile firing center. A sim
ilar antenna will be installed
on one of the down-range is
lands soon.
The highly advanced sys
tem will be used to track the
latest missiles fired into the
Atlantic ocean from Cape
Canaveral
FESTIVAL DIRECTOR Angus L. Bowmcr, producing direc
tor of the Oregon Shakespearean Festival, chatted with Dr.
Leota Willis, Seattle, of the University of Washington, during
opening night festivities in Ashland last evening. The lesti
val's 23rd season will be the longest on record, continuing
until Sept. 7. (Dwaine Smith photo)
Oregon Jobless Figure Mounts

lumber labor dispute has state with 10.3 per cent
TICKING NOISE
Great Bend, Kan. - (UPn -The
passengers and crew
aboard a Central Airlines
plane got jittery Wednesday
when they heard a ticking
noise emanating from a suit
case on a luggage rack. One
of the passengers - a young
man not identified - sheep
ishly claimed the suitcase,
opened it and turned off his
electric toothbrush.

boosted unemployment in Or
egon above the figure a year
ago, the state department of
employment said Wednesday.
However, Commissioner Da
vid H. Cameron said the fig
ure is less than it was four
weeks ago.
The rate of insured unem
ploymcnt in the state was set
st 3.8 per cent for the week
ending July 18. That is 13 per
cent above a year ago but 1.3
per cent below the June fig
ure. The lumber dispute has
been felt most at North Bend,
Eugene and Klamath Falls.
In North Bend there are
now 3,200 persons directly in
volved and another 300 who
are indirectly affected, Cam
eron said. The city has the
Baker has the lowest rate
of 1.6 per cent. Corvallis has
a 1.9 per cent rate.
Rates In other Oregon cities
include Eugene, 6.2 per cent;
Klamath Falls, 8.3; Medford,
3.9; Pendleton and Milton-
Freewater, 2.5; Portland 2.7
and Salem 3.1.

Algiers, Algeria - 0IPD - De

in Cuba today for an official

Cuban Industry Minister Er

IDENTIFICATION SIGN - Slow moving vehicles along Ore
gon highways can be easily spotted if they carry this new
identifying symbol. Gov. Mark O. Hatfield recently hung the
first marker on a tractor in Salem to remind residents of
Farm Safety Week July 21 to 27. Agriculture is Oegon's sec
ond largest industry and every farm accident adds to the cost
of food. Improvement of the state's farm safety record is a
Job for everyone, not just the farmer.

The United States will try
to launch its revolutionary
Centaur space rocket from
Cape Canaveral sometime this
summer probably in Aug
ust. The Centaur uses high
energy hydrogen fuel, the pro
pcllant that will be the key
in American efforts to land
me non the moon this decade
But the first launching of the
new rocket last May failed,
and the program has run into
troubles.
The second flight will be an
up-and-down attempt. Its
main aim will be to ignite the
hydrogen-fueled second stage
Solid Propellent Missile
The Department of Defense
Is looking for a solid-propel-lant
anti-missile missile that
will take off up to 100 times
faster than more conventional
solid-fueled rockets.
United Technology Center
in Sunnyvale, Calif., will
study the problem under a six
month contract. Such a boost
er rocket would generate,
enough thrust to send a pay
load several miles up in less
than one second.
System of Hibernation
Some scientists think a sys
tem of hibernation may be
best for astronauts making
long trips into space.
One such proposal is that
the spacemen be put in a state
of suspended animation. This
would involve bringing down
the body temperature and
slowing all other life pro
cesses such as heartbeat and
brain activity.
Experts say that in such a
condition an astronaut would
be able to take the stresses of
space flight - including radia
tion exposure - much better.
The problem is that a drug to
do the job has yet to be found.
But the search for it is under
way In U.S. laboratories.
When novelist Jules Verne
wrote more than a century
ago about a voyage to the
moon, he proposed using a
cannon to provide the power.
American scientists recent
ly used a 16-inch cannon to
blast a 475-pound capsule of
weather instruments 15 miles
into the atmosphere. The ex
periment was conducted in
the West Indies.
But scientists are not con
sidering cannon propulsion for
manned flights into space.
The jolt would be too stiff.
