Both boys, carrying at least a minimum load of 12 hours, aver aged 3.6 for the term. Other Klamath students winning honorable mention were Edward Canton, Vera Hasey, Dean Jones, William Meade. Caryl Ann Vander wall. Helen Williams, and Betty Westlin. Louis Bickers, Modoc Point; Virginia Crawford, Bonan za: Jessie McMillan, Bly; Edmond O'Connor, Merrill; Walter Foster, Keno; Kenneth Luderman. Chilo quin; and Patricia Gaskill, Pais ley, also received honorable mention. rmni Strangely enough, most Americans who know of it think of It mainly as a place where the navy testa rockets. Capt. Jamea B. Sykes. command ing officer of the research center, doesn't believe this Uj good psy chology. As a result, in an exclu sive interview, he disclosed for the first time the full scheme of oper ations at Invokern and their rela tion to the nation's vital weapon development program. "During the war a high classi fication of secrecy was necessary." says Captain yites. "But the war is over. The public is entitled to know as much as we can tell them about Invokern without violating the secrecy necessarily shrouding some of our projects." Captain Sykes didnt discuss It, but there is also a matter of fu ture appropriations. The installa tion already has cost more than sioo.000.000. and has a payroll of more that $1,000,000 a month. About the size of the slate of Rhode Island, the station covers more than 1000 square miles and extends into three California coun ties Invo, Kern and San Bernar dino. Nearly 12.000 persons naval and civil workers and their fami lies live on the base. Several thousand others have to live in trailer areas outside the station be cause of an acute housing short age. A good-sized city has sprung up among the cactus and sage brush 15 miles off. the highway. since 1M3. Rocket research is only a part of the station's work. Here also are developed: 1. New and secret nig n-power explosives for warheads. 2. Radio electronic systems for controlling the projection from aircraft of rockets, bombs, gun projectiles and torpedoes. This Is the key to aerial warfare of the future. Exactly what is bring done cannot be fully told, but several hundred scientists, in eluding some of the world's best, either live on the base or work in close association. J. Guided missiles. - Captain Sraes says "We are developing weapons potentially far superior to the German V-2 bomb. Even tually our new ram-jet should have better control and carry a heavier payload." The ram-jet's advantage Is in its ability to ram air through Its nose under compression, tnus eliminat ing the necessity of carrying oxy gen inside the weapon, as in the V-J. The principle of the V-2 is as stupid." says Captain Sykes. "as the idea of a transcontinental bus loading up at the start with all the fuel necessary for the entire trip." In addition there is some small scale nuclear physics research, which navy (officials say is not aimed at producing an atom bomb. In this connection, the navy dis closed the existence of a hitherto secret project, a $7300,000 physics laboratory. The new lab, started in 1945, will go into operation this fall in the fields of physics, chem istry, optics, electronics, metallur gy, ballistics, heat-treating and others. "Try next door I borrow his and it's terrible!" 1: PIONEER... fSll Seed Barley Gets Notice Attention was focused on seed barley this year by certain buyers of brewing barley and a brisk demand for certified seed existed this spring. A number of Klamath farmers have applied for certification of Hannchen barley acreage for the first time in several years to meet this demand of buyers. Since no certified seed was avail able an attempt to locate the best uncertified seed lots was made. Simples of barley were sent to the farm crops department at Oregon State college. Examination of sam ples led to classification as to ap parent suitability of the lot for pro duction of certified seed tills year. Since barley is almost entirely self fertile because pollination occurs while the heads are still in the boot no crossing between varieties occurs. Requirements for certified barley include regulations in regard to per centage mixtures of other varieties of barley and other grains as well as maximumj tolerance for wild oats and smut. ' . The matter of mixtures of other barley varieties and other grains is largely a mechanical proposition. Other grains and barleys can be come mixed with a lot in bulk stor age or in sacks previously used for other grain. Volunteer grain from Report Favors More Dam Building PORTLAND.
