Early Wanderings
Of Magnetic Poles

magnetic poles are being! Prof. Watkins and others,
mapped by a Stanford Uni-1 skeptical of this idea, believe

study of the Miocene lava
flows of southern Oregon.
Research by Prof. Norman
D. Watkins reveals that loca
tion of the poles from Oregon
varied over 60 degrees of the
compass during the Miocene
period, 10-30 million years
a 20. In fact the two poles
"flipped," he said, the North
Pole becoming the South and
vice versa.
Prof. Watkins reported his
findings at the current meet
ings of the International Un
ion of Geodesy and Geophs
ics being held at the Univer
sity of California. His work
has been supported by the
Air Force and the National
Science Foundation, plus co
operation in the research
from the U.S. Geological Sur
vey of Menlo Park.
When the hot lavas flowed
from the earth in prehistoric
southern Oregon. Prof. Wat
kins explained, they came un
der the influence of the
earth's magnetic poles. And
as each of these molten mag
mas cooled into basalt, the
direction of the earth's po
larity at that time was "froz
en" into it.
Using extremely sensitive
Instruments, the Stanford geo
physicist was able to deter
mine these directions from
rock cores drilled out of the
basalt. Me investigated 200
such lava flows spewed up
during the Miocene period.
Magnetic Polarity
Other scientists have at
tempted to explain the vary
ing direction of magnetic po
larity in rocks on the basis
of "continental drift."
This theory postulates that
whole continents have shifted
position due to forces origi
nating in the earth's fluid.

fer a more plausible explana
tion
He offers in evidence core
samples of successive Oregon
lava flows, laid one on top
of another. Yet their polarity
shows different directions.
Furthermore, in both age
and magnetic direction, these
rocks closely resemble core
samples previously taken
from flows at different loca
tions in New Zealand.
Continental drift could not
have changed the position of
the Oregon flows relative to
each other. And the fact that
they match the New Zealand
flows indicates the two con
tinents must have remained
stationary, while the poles did

His samples indicate consid
erable "oscillations" of pole
positions in well defined di
rections, Prof. Watkins said,
in addition to their complete
180-degree reversal.

Five Fires Noted
In State Forests
Salem-IUTO-A 100-acre grass
and watershed blaze eight
miles east of Canyonville was
among five fires noted yester
day on state protected forest
and rangelagds, the State For
estry department said today.
The Canyonville blaze, bat
tled by 20 men and two bull
dozers, was declared con
trolled at 9 a.m.
Three other small blazes
were reported in the Douglas
district, and one in the East

ARE THERE ghosts in the White House? If so. none seem
to have manifested themselves to the Kennedys as yet,
at any rate. But former President Truman, Mrs. Coolidge,
and Mrs. Roosevelt all
reported apparitions of
Abraham Lincoln, and
other strange occurrences
never under oath, how
ever. It is a matter of
record that when Queen
Wilhelmina of the Neth
erlands was a guest at
the White House, she
swore that she saw Mrs.
Lincoln march straight
into her drawing room
and fainted dead away.
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson
was convinced that the
ghost of Dolly Madison
dropped in one evening to pay her respects. Even Winston
Churchill reported strange noises and visitations while he
stayed at the White House during World War II (.for top
secret conferences with F.D.R. and Harry Hopkins).
Maybe these are the very ghosts who arc writing those
so-called "inside stories'" of doings in top Washington
echelons?
Way back in 175S, this item appeared in Benjamin Franklin's
"Poor Richard's Almanac': "Laziness travels so slowly that pov
erty soon overtakes him. We may make these times better if we
bestir ourselves. There are no gains without pains."

Secularism Said

day there might be a huge

Graham told 28.651 persons
attending the 12th session of
his three-week crusade that
"secularism is the fastest
growing religion in America."
"Whether those who call
themselves secularists agree to
it or not, it is a faith and a
religion," he said, "even
though it claims to want to
throw off .the shackles of re

Search for Jet
Pilot Continues
McChord AFB, Wash. -lUPII-The
search for a jet fighter
pilot who was seen to eject
from his plane after a col
lision with a jet bomber early
Wednesday continued today.
Four Coast Guard patrol
boats searched the area off
the coast of Washington's
Olympic Peninsula during the
nighl and this morning air
craft were to rejoin the search
for 1st Lt. Roger Axlund,
Sioux Falls, S.D.
A search for 1,800 square
miles of the Pacific Ocean
Wednesday turned up no trace
of the pilot. Coast Guard offi
cials said they will increase
the search area between Cape
Alva and Ocean Shores.
Wash., from 30 miles out to 50
miles into the ocean.
Axlund's F-106 fighter was
engaged in a mock attack on
a B-57 medium jet bomber
and brushed the bottom of the
larger craft before going
down. The bomber landed
