SUBSCRIPTION KATES MAIL 1 Manth - Monlha .. f 1.5 lu.et 1 Year When the scientists of General Motors Research started out to discover what caused the knock 1 In the gasoline engine little did they dream that the search would end In creating entirely new industries and one that would draw lut raw material from the sea. But so it did by sending the Dow Chsmlcal Compsny to the ocean to obtain the bromine that was necessary to make the new gasoline additive. In the year 1020 when the dis covery of tetra elhyl lead was made no one dreamed that they would have to call upon the chem ical industry for enormous quan tities of bromine, in fact, the bro mine industry was a very small fluli- Because the world's demand for elemental bromine amounted in but 2.000 tons a year. In 1049 this world demand bad Increased to a little less than 2,700 tons but the demand ol tne pe iroleum Industry for the entirely new compound of etnyiene aiDro mide aside from this normal world demand for bromine required 40, 250 tons of the new product which was larEc v taken from tne sea by an entirely new industry that had to grow up w meei me de mand of the petroleum proaucers. This startling figure of growth In Industry illustrates what extraor dlnary effects and unpredictable developments can sometimes be produced in ouier neias mat were not at all related to the original development. With the development of ethyl ene dlbromlde, one would think that science would be satisfied with the progress it had made for it had solved the problem of de posits of lead upon the cylinder walla and spark plugs of the gaso line engine. But, this la not the way that science acta for It never rests upon its laurels, the search con tinues for better additives that would make possible still higher engine pressures. So here again a new challenger to bromine has ap peared in the field since the lat est development in this series of investigations (as engine pressures have been raised) shows that the lead In the fuel can be converted to a phosphate Instead of a bro mide. The new additive is tri-crcsyl- phosphate now being advertised by the oil Industry as (TCP), this new t. , . . " the ethylene dlbromlde.

In 1950, we used some thing like 109.000 tons of lead to raise the efficiency of our gaso line. This use put tetra ethyl lead Into fourth place as a consumer ol lead, following after storage batteries, cable sheaths, and general con struction. Joseph A. Costello, vice president of the Ethyl Corporation, has estimated that this use of lead cut gasoline consumption in the United States in 1950 by about 10 per cent, which would be a saving equivalent of about four billion gallons over what consump tion would have been had It not been for the lead that was added to the petroleum. This represents a cash saving to Americans using automobiles of something over a billion dol lars in a single year. Stated an other way, the 105,000 tons of lead was put to a use that saved 12 million tons of gasoline. The discovery of tetra ethyl lead therefore becomes an Important conservation measure since it con serves a vast amount of an im portant natural source of energy, a saving that far outweighs the resource value of the lead con sumed in its manufacture. Sometime ago Horace Waipole wrote a story of the "princess of Serendip" and this story has tick led the fancy of a lot of chemi cal engineers since it character izes the development of their In dustry. It seems that the king of Serendip sent his three sons on tourneys about the world. Bach went out seeking a particular ob jective, but . each found many things (hat were pleasant, profit able and interesting, but had noth ing to do whatever with the pri mary objects they were pursuing. This Is a thing that happens time and time again in the field of research and in ail branches of chemical studies one encounters In his search for his objective many interesting things that he would like to pursue further, in fact, at times it is difficult to turn away troin an interesting discovery and gel Back into the groove of the basic problem.

The frultfulna5S of research in discovering such Interesting things is now recognised by all research organisations and Is known to them as "serendipity." Everything done in a chemical plant seems to lead to something- else thnt may or may not have been anticipated or expected. The same la true of research. Any excursion Into the unknown may come back with unexpected values that could never have been foreseen when the research project was started. Arthur O. Little said, "Mnny chemical Industries are distinguished by the number and Importance of their bv-Droducts: others by the necessity they are under of making collateral pro ducts, as whe.1 the electrolysis of salt for chlorine involves a pro portionate production of caustic soda. It is as though a cotton mill In order to make 35 yards of clolh was forced to turn out 40 shoes. The demand for cloth and shoes may not alwaya be in this pro portion and there may also be some difficulty in satisfactorily al locating costs between them." SPECIAL PURCHASE!

Other huge machines that can dig and load six to eight tons of coal a minute are neiping to re vive tile once ailing coal Indus try but they are cutting working crews in nan. Makers of electrical equipment and aircraft are eyeing automated machines like those Chrysler has installed in Its semiautomatic engine assembly line in Detroit. Labor, management and pcllti clans argue whether automation wilt mean the loss of present Jobs or, instead, creation ofc more Jobs through a higher standard of liv ing. And while they argue new marvels of automatic and semiau tomatic machines keep coming. The Cross 'Co.' of Detroit which installed the new machines on the Chrysler line estimates they save up to 25 per cent in assembly costs of engines. There are 150 workmen on the quarter-mile long line now, turning out 150 V-B engines an hour. -On tne old assembly lines it took 200 men to turn out that many. The new Chrysler engine line has 90 operating stations and at many stands there's a machine in stead of a mar.. Cylinder blocks are fed into one end of the line by a machine, right cylinder heads at another point, left cylinder heads at p. third. As these castings move along automatically, one en- gine part alter another is added. At the end of the line completely assembled engines are removed for installation In new cars. The Ford Motor Co.'s plant Cleveland has a 500-foot automated production line for making engine UIOCKS. In some coal mines new mon sters are moving In to replace old er iorms oi mecnamzmion. They are reported cutting work crews from 17 men to seven or eight. Thanks in part to the steadv trend toward mechanization In re cent years which has held down the once fast-rising price of coale the coal industry is pulling out of a oaa slump. In 1948 nearly 600 million tons of bituminous coal was mined, but tnis Dropped to less tnan 400 mil lion last year. The revival this year is putting output about 21 per cent above last year. One of the big factors this year has been the growing demand of Europe for American coal to keep its steel mills going at a record pace. L. C. Campbell, president of the National Coal Assn., halls produc tion strlaes attending mechaniza tion in the past 20 years and adds, "and the end is not in sight."

OREGON .i JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON m Some kind of insurance against disasters at least against floods like these which followed the visit of Hurri cane Diane may come out of Congress in 1056. But before Congress approves such protection, it will have to cut its way through three questions which are now very tangled: What kind of disaster insurance? How much insurance for any one indi vidual? And who handles it? This week the Senate Banking Committee has been holding hear ings to find out what government officials propose. None of them has provided a specific plan yet. Thev promise to have one by the time Congress returns In January. There is no flood insurance avail able in this country now, although this fact seemed once again to have been lost sight of until the floods broke loose in New England last August when Diane let the enormous rains loose. ' As a result of those floods 179 persons were killed, 6,992 were in jured, 813 home3 were destroyed, and the damage amounted to more than 450 million dollars. One of the reasons for the lack of flood Insurance, it seems, is the scattered, but nevertheless limited, nature of the problem. The only ones who would want or need It would be those living near, streams Fort Rock School Contract Signed FORT ROCK A contract was signed here Monday completing ar rangements for the building of i two classroom elementary school by Rlchnrd Mann of Redmond at a cost of 127.400.

People living on high ground in the area wouldn't need it. Just because that type of Insurance would be limited, the price of it would be high if private compa nies handled it, perhaps out of reach of those who needed it. Then there Is the problem of occurrence that a private compa ny would have to consider: How often would a stream or river be expected to overflow as a resuit of natural phenomenon, like extra ordinarily heavy rains? Say it was figured that on River AAA, after a search of the rec ords, a flood could be expected on an average of every 50 years. That might seem like a good insurance risk. But suDnose River AAA flooded three times in 150 years still sticking to the average of one flood every 60 years but those three floods came in 1956, again in 1957, and the third time in 1958. The three floods, bunched togeth er like that, might wreck a com pany. But how then can flood in surance be provided? At the hear ings there were two proposals of fered although they may not be the ones finally decided upon by Con gross. One would nave tne government do the insuring; the other would guarantee the losses o private in surance companies over a certain amount. It seqmed agreed that no one, and no business firm, could get any amount of Insurance he want ed. Sen. Lehman (D-NY), who pre sided at the hearings, talked of a possible limit of $300,000 per com pany. i Then there was another ques tion: Should the Insurance cover not only a man's , home but his furniture and other personal be longings, too? The sentiment at tlie hearings leaned toward cover age for real property, not personal possessions. But should the Insurance cover only homes and business buildings and the merchandise and equip ment in those buildings? Or should it cover other things, like a farm er's crops, those still in the field and those already In storage? One of the toughest problems for the flood victims in facing the future is in paying the mortgage ?till owed on the house which was swept away. Congress will also have to consider that, too. President Eisenhower has as sured New England governors his administration is determined "to assist the states and people of the Northeast in developing adequate protections against future flood jnd hurricane losses." But any insurance program ap proved by Congress oven though, perhaps, it is limited to floods would cover the whole country. i Shaver Not Included 21 00 22 00 With Trodi-ln With Trodt-ln 1A00 ,W With Trd-lri Al Low Al NOTE 500 Phono 3405 2 HAL ajirur vnntr in nivinir away money can be almost as exciting as winning it.

BRUCE It has been observed before that no one can know whether or not the popularity of President Ei senhower and his program is transferable to any other Republi can. But clearly the top GOP lead ers are taking a considerably more optimistic view of that problem now than they were immediately after the President was stricken. By the same token. Democrats whose first reaction was that they couid triumph handily over any one the Republicans might put in Mr. Elsenhower's place now are viewing their 1056 prospects more cautiously. Both sides know, of course, that it is foolish to try to speak with any certainty about an election that is a year off. For one thing, the major party candidates and their personality impact are not known. For another, events make issues and the events of 1956 can not now be foreseen. But this much can be said; The condition ot the United States, at home and in its relations abroad, seems to favor the Republicans.

Wheth er you're Just learning to talk or are living on borrowed time, Jack has a question to ask you on a program tailored to your age level. Barry is" typical of the new type of television emcee, who is bright ly eager to shower you with cash If you can show your head holds even the smallest nugget of knowledge. The old style emcee often had a different aim to see that only a certain amount of the sponsors money was given away. Sometimes they had it neatly figured out Just how often they wanted the Jack pot won. Barry says the attitude on the new huge giveaway program is just the opposite. "They've found out that the mon ey is less important than the good will of the audience," he said. "The more money we give away, the happier people will be, the more they'll watch the show and the more they'll buy the sponsor's product." Bmry also pointed out that the method of picking contestants has changed. "Instead of grabbing anybody who wanders into the studio with an out-of-town accent," he said, "an effort is made to find people who are both deserving and in teresting. And the questions they are asked are questions they can answer with luck, brains and mem ory." He didn't explain why anybody who had luck, brains and mem ory needed to appear on a give away program to make a lortune. BIOSSAT prosperity and appears in less danger of war, the GOP can deal from a situation of strengih. They are in the saddle, and presum ably the voters will dislodge them only for good cause. As indicated, that cause could be a strong Democratic person ality or unfavorable events either on the domestic scene or beyond our borders. If neither of these elements works to Democratic ad vantage, then they will have to try to show somehow that today's peace and prosperity are not well founded and thus not to be trust ed. If it comes to that, it may take some real doing. Samuel Lubell, able political an alyst, thinks the Republicans will win next year if general condi tions remain the same and the Democrats don't come up with a marked superiority in candidate quality. He argues that the 1954 general elections turned on economic is suesfarm distress and an indus trial downtown but that the Re publicans were stronger on an eco nomic basis then than they had been at any time since 1932.

NOVEMBER 3. 1 955 Peron Stops At Caracas CARACAS, Venezuela (UP) Venezuelan authorities took spec ial precautions today to protect de posed Argentine Dictator Juan D Peion during his stop-over here on bis way to Nicaragua. The Paraguayan military trans port carrying Peron irom Asun. cion, Paraguay, was expected to arrive here before dawn, it WM reported that Peron would spend several hours here before contlnu ing the flight to Managua, the Nic araguan capital.- The director of national security announced special precautionary measures have been taken to in sure against any untoward inci dent during Pcron's lay-over. The press was informed that no inter views or photographs would be oer. milted. Peron ended 30 days of exile In Paraguay Wednesday and left for Nicaragua amid great secrecy. He left Asuncion at dawn and made a brief stop at Rio De Janeiro before heading toward Caracas. Reports from Asuncion said Peron planned to make Nicaragua his future residence. He is a per sonal friend of Nlcaraguan Pres ident Anastasio Somoza. Tne new Argentine government was officially Informed of Peron's departure by the government of Paraguay. Peron took refuge In Paraguay Oct. 2 after his 10 year dictator ship was ended by revolution. Sources In Paraguay said that Peron had been preparing his trip, to Nicaragua " for the past two ' weeks. His secret was well kept by the diplomatic representatives of the South and Central American Republics he approached for nec essary documents and permits. It was learned that Peron was traveling under a Latin American "safe conduct" paper carrying the visas of the countries he will pass through to his new place o asylum. They lost, control of Congress, yet the margin was narrow and many key races were almost a dead heat. Off-year gains for the "outs" usually are heavier. Lubell points out that as of now farm distress is greater than in 1954,' but the industrial reces sion is over and the economy gen erally is booming. From this he argues that basically the Republi cans are in a considerably strong er position strong enough, Indeed, to win. ' - Naturally these are only specu lations, albeit the speculations of a practiced student of elections. At the very least, perhaps, they may serve to correct notions among party men and voters that elections are automatic affairs de cided by a single factor like the President's illness. There will be nothing - open-and-shut about the 1956 contest. . Reg. 35c lb. 15 19' 29' 43' x IT 36" 36" 19 FOR FALL PLANTING ' Domestic and Imported Bulbs.
