iera 1 Pries FIT Cento U Pace In The- Day's lews By FRANK JENKINS When the Russians announced che other day that they had BEATEN THE WORLD to the launching of an earth satellite into outer space in this International Geophysical Year we got the shock of our lives. At first, we refused to believe It. We put it down to just more Russian bragging. But when' the beeps from the thing began to be heard and when they sounded exactly like the Russians said they would sound and came in at exact ly the intervals the Russians said they would come in . we had to concede that the Russkies had done it. Since then, our faces have been very, very red. Well, we SHOULDN'T have been taken by surprise. It has long been known that the Russians have scientific minds. Ivan Pavlov is an example. He took the theoreti cal "principle of association" by which it was suspected that a baby starts with no mind at all and by the process of putting to gether scattered experiences and impressions eventually achieves an organized mind and by experi ments with dogs made it seem real enough to be accepted widely by the scientists of the world. That fact alone should have tipped us off. If Pavlov weren't enough, we should have learned something from the speed with which the Russians developed an atom bomb of their own. It is true that they stole the secret of it from us in the first place. It is true that they had captured German scien tists to work with. But we can't laugh off the fact that they de veloped a hydrogen bomb almost as quickly as we did and did it almost ENTIRELY on their own. But we chose to regard them as ignorant barbarians who just COULDN'T be in our class. This earth satellite business ought to teach us a lesson. . . The lesson is this: Russia is a REAL opponent. If we are to checkmate her designs, it will take the best we have to give. We'd better put that fact in our DiDes and smoke it. What is Russia's design? Let's not kid ourselves. It is to CONQUER THE WORLD for tommunism. Let's not get scared. We can checkmate it because the communist way of life is so foul that in time it must fall of the weight of its own foulness. But Meanwhile We'd better quit fooling with the idea that something can be had for nothing. We d better quit boon' doggling. We'd better quit toying with the notion that we can BUY friends who will do our fighting for us. We'd better GET DOWN TO BUSINESS. Maloney To Stand Trial PORTLAND UH The long delayed trial of Thomas E. Maloney on a bribe conspiracy charge gets under way in state circuit court here Monday. Maloney is accused of plotting with Joseph McLaughlin, a former Seattle cardroom operator, and former Multnomah County district attorney William Langlcy .to re ceive a bribe. All three were indicted by a grand jury that investigated charges of vice and corruption in Portland. Maloney's attorney failed in a week-long hearing to suppress as evidence a tape recording which the prosecution apparently plans to introduce as evidence. Gambler Big Jim Elkins said the recording was of conversations in Maloney's apartment. Elkins touched off the vice in vestigation here by charging that Langley, McLaughlin and others were attempting to expand and control vice operations in Port land. McLaughlin and Langley have not yet been brought to trial on the bribe conspiracy charge. Langley. however, was removed from office after being convicted ol failure to prosecute gambling. Dionne Sister To Wed Student NORTH BAY, Ont. UB Oliva Dionne. father of the quintuplets, said Monday Annette plans to marry a university student in a private ceremony at Montreal Friday. She would become the first of the famous girls to marry Dionne said he knew nothing of the wedding plans until Annette, 23, and 22-year-old Germain Al lard paid a surprise visit Sunday to the family home at nearby Cal lander. Cecilc. another of the four sur viving quints, is scheduled to mar ry Philippe Langlois, 26-year-pid Canadian Broadcasting Co. tech nician, next month. 17 Circles WASHINGTON (ft U. S. naval scientists said Monday they have a good iix on the Russian space satellite, and can plot its path ahead anywhere from 24 hours to a week. A spokesman at the Naval Re search Laboratory also said that Navy scientists now know when they get the beeping signal from the satellite that their readings are precise to 1 10,000th of a sec ond. The latest information here is that the satellite is following what the spokesman called a "circular orbit." The exact height has not been determined, he said, but it is a minimum of 400 miles high. U. S. scientists, who hope the Russians will share any scientific knowledge gained through t h e satellite, gave a group of foreign scientists a tour of the Naval Laboratory. The visitors, here for an inter national conference on rocket and satellite programs, included three Russians A. A. Blagonravov, Sergei M. Poloskov and A. M. Kasatskin. V. S. scientists are tracking the Russian satellite with signals re corded at nine points in North and South America. The information received at these points is sped into Washington where it is fed into an electronic brain. STATIONS The receiving points, known as minitrack stations" are located at Blossom Point, Md.; Mt. Stew art, Ga.; Havana, Cuba: Quito. Ecuador; Lima, Peru; Antofagas- ta, Chile; Santiago, Chile; Anti gua, British West indies and San Diego, Cam. With establishment of a fix on the Russian baby moon. Navy trackers said it should become vis ible in the continental United States "in about a week or 10 days. A spokesman for Project Van guard, the U. S. satellite program, said it is estimated that the So viet satellite will begin at that time to make passages over the United States during pre-dawn or evening twilight periods the only times it would be visible. He said the "extreme north west portion ot the country" would be the first to see it and that it would be in the evening. Asked about reports the satellite already had been seen with the naked eye in Alaska, the spokes man said that might well be true due to a difference in the length ol me night there. The spokesman said present evi dence is that the orbit of the satel lite is "fairly circular, with a low point of 400 miles altitude above the earth, but we s.'ill are not sure of the high point. When it was pointed out that the Russian announcement had said the sphere was- travelling at altitude of 560 miles, the official said: DROPPED "It might have been launched to an altitude of 560 miles, but then may have dropped in going into its actual orbit around the earth American satellite planners have said their plans call for launching a satellite to an altitude of 300 miles, but that they expect it would then go into an elliptical orbit having a minimum altitude of 200 miles and possibly as high as 2,000 miles at its farthest points. The closer to a circle the orbit is, the longer a satellite would remain aloft, but it is more dif ficult to achieve a circular one than an elliptical one. American scientists have said that a satellite in a truly circular orbit of 300 miles altitude would remain aloft about a year. The Soviet satellite is now trav eling at about 18,000 miles an hour, and circles the globe about six times every 24 hours on a north-south course. Because the earth is turning beneath it, the satellite's path moves westward with each circuit. Spud Farmers Hopeful Of Digging If Weather Holds TULELAKE Slightly improved weather conditions over the Klam ath Basin are encouraging predic tions that the potato harvest will get underway this week, providing no further moisture falls. Some field work was attempted Sunday morning and a few pick ers, stranded here without funds for the last two weeks, were able to pick up a few dollars before rain, shortly after noon, put a stop to digging. Clifford Jenkins, manager of the Tulelake Growers Association, said this morning that those migrant harvesters who could get out had left, and that it is his opinion that those now here will remain until digging gets underway. . Because the migrants a r e so scattered about the community, a check on the number of workers left is impossible. Jenkins said. Community assistance continued over the weekend with donations of food and clothing. Heads of the Modoc and Siskiyou welfare de- 1 "V rfl KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON. MONDAY. OCTOBER 7. 1957 Earth At The presumption is that the sat ellite will gradually diminish in speed and lose altitude until even tually it burns up from the heat of heavier atmosphere. Radio Moscow, in a broadcast for home listeners, said last night the 23-inch space vehicle has al ready yielded information which it said is "of great scientific value." The broadcast did not say what this information involved. SIGNAL Some U.S. scientists said the satellite apparently was sending back a coded signal,, and they voiced the hope the Russians would let them in on the code, so they 'can share in any informa tion obtained. One Russian expert said there is no special code in signals coming from the baby moon. The satellite project is part of the program of the International Geophysical Year. This is a proj ect aimed at learning more about the earth and the universe. Dr. John P. Hagen, director of the American satellite program, said U.S. plans still call for launching small test vehicles la Navy Scientists Figure Trail Of Sputnik In Sky WASHINGTON Ifl Navy scien tists released a time table Mon day for Sputnik, the Russian earth satellite, which showed its next passage over the United States should be about 9:11 p.m. (PST) Monday. A spokesman at the U. S. Na val Research Laboratory added this word of discouragement for Sputnik fans: There isn't a chance of seeing it for at least a week or so, because it can only be seen when it passes over at dawn or dusk. ... ..... :-. "It's like dust particles caught in a beam of sunlight," he said. The spokesman said Sputnik is moving across the United States in a southeasterly direction. It fol lows a fairly rigid course but be cause the earth is turning beneath its path moves--westward about 1.500 miles with each circuit. In the time table givert by the U. S. researchers , the times were when Sputnik crosses the line on the map representing 40 degrees north latitude. That is a line mat .traverses the United States rough Wet Weather Is Outlook By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Oreaon will have more cool, wet weather Tuesday, but the Weather Bureau said a warming trend is due in the state after a few days. The showers will taper off late this week, bringing higher tem peratures and more sunshine throughout the state, the bureau said. Showers will fall throughout the state Tuesday. The bureau said the temperature also will drop in the freezing zone in some parts of Eastern Oregon Monday night The low will range from 30-40. It will be warmer Monday night west of the mountains with a 42 to 48 expected. The bureau said fire danger will be low Tuesday in western and central Oregon, with the humidi ties above 40 per cent. Despite the showers, the danger will begin to rise slowly Tuesday. North Bend reported 3!) of an inch of rain in the 24-hour period ending Monday morning. Baker reported the second largest total of precipitation, .31 of an inch. DOUBLE TROUBLE LAFAYETTE, lnd. (UP)-Don aid R.

Jock's Meat Market and Grocery gave 15 per cent off a:l purchases, and car tons of fresh cookies. Charles Blu menthal provided two sacks of po tatoes and others, un-named, pro vided staple foods and work to prepare the meal. Local residents assisted in giving information on the dinncr'to the transients. Friday, Klamath Falls grocers provided a large load of staple groceries and canned goods to be distributed among those needing assistance. Clothing and food pro vided by individuals of Tulelake, Klamath Falls. Henley and other communities was made mailable. Full scale work in the lields will get underway as soon as lield con ditions permit. 7 iatollito Still Dizzy Speed ter this fall, with the firing of full-scale 20-inch satellites in the spring. The American satellite is planned to weigh about 22 pounds, compared with the reported 185 pounder the Russians shot into space Friday. Hagen said the present Soviet satellite appears to be a test vehi cle. He said this explains the lack of any advance announcement by the Russians. Prof. A. A. Blagonravov, a top Soviet satellite specialist who at tended an IGY meeting here last week, said the satellite now in flight is not the vehicle Russia had said previously it would launch as part of the IGY pro gram. He said Soviet rocketeers plan to shoot aloft a second sphere "in the nearest future" as an IGY project. SHARE He said all information obtained from its flight will be shared with scientists of other nations. Blagonravov was asked if the Russians plan to share data they get from the present satellite. He replied that American scientists can obtain very useful informa ly from south of Eureka, Calif., to Denver, Indianapolis, lnd., Co lumbus, Ohio, and Philadelphia. The spokesman said that at 12:24 a.m. PST Tuesday it will reach the North American conti nent just inside the Canadian border north of Washington Slate. Rocket Also Circles Space LONDON Iffl Russia disclosed Monday night that the rocket which carried the "red moon" into to outer space is also circling the earth. - A Soviet jet expert said Sunday the rocket which boosted the earth satellite -580 miles into thekfyst .... satellite 560 miles into the sky last Friday was 25 per cent more pow erful than the rocket which car ried the first Soviet interconti nental ballistics missile 3,500 to 5000 miles dufiiig the summer. Maj. Gen. G. Pokrovsky said the rockets were similar. There had been speculation that the baby moon's rocket, kicked away with the final thrust which sent the satellite on ils way, might be spinning up there, too. Monday's Moscow Radio an nouncement said: 'Two and a half days have passed since the time of launch ing of the artificial satellite in the Soviet Union. By 6 p.m. Moscow time today (7 a.m. PST) the sat ellite had completed 40 full revo lutions: "It is not only the satellite which is being watched, but also the rocket that carried it onto the orbit. This rocket is also encir cling the earth at approximately the same altitude as the satellite, but is separated from it by some 1,000 kilometers (about 620 miles). This distance will alter in the future." Prankster Plays Trick On Man In The Moon Theme SAN FRANCISCO (UP1 - A prankster transmitted a "man in the moon" Morse code message Sunday night as the Russian Sat ellite signal faded here about 8:15 p.m. The message was apparently sent despite a warning by the Federal Communications Com mission in Washington that per sons transmitting illegally and perpetrating a hoax could be sub ject to prosecution. Press Wireless picked up the 20 word a minute message as the sound of the satellite faded from this reception area. The message said: VThis Is the man in the moon. You had better watch out or that P'8. bad bear will get you. Local Ham Picks Up Satellite The bcep-heep of the Riuslae ipare satellite was distinctly heard this morning over 1 short wave transmitter by Mrs, Frank Robison, 2555 Ebarlela Street and employes of the Swan Lake Moulding Company where Robison works. Mrs. Robison picked up the eerie sound, put through a call to the company and relayed the sound to those listening hi. This It (he first report of lo cal contact with the satellite that whips around the world every 95.2 minutes. Call letters for the Rohlioo shortwave set are W7-2YF. Telephone TU 4-8111 No. 1911 tion from their observations of it 'and they can use this informa tion for the calculations concern ing the orbit of k and for the launching of their satellite. Officials at the Naval Research Laboratory said receiving equip ment has been altered at six of the U.S. satellite tracking stations in various parts of North and South America to pick up signals trom the Russian sphere. Some information from these installa tions is being used to help chart the exact route of the Russian satellite. Hagen said that in a week or so, when the satellite begins mak ing its passes over the United States at twilight, "we can check by optical observations." He said this could be done with binoculars and small telescopes. At Pasadena, Calif.. Dr. W. H. Pickering said scientists al the California Institute of Technology have been recording signals from the Soviet satellite since It was launched. TRACKING Pickering, chairman of Amer ica's IGY working group on track ing and computation, said the Caltcch scientists have learned a great deal about the satellite's or bit which he said "probably is not circular, but slightly elliptical. He said the sphere s closest ap proach to the earth may be about 300 miles, "although Us average height above the earth is 380 miles." Blagonravov estimated that the Russian satellite would stay aloft about a month. But Pickering said the sphere probably will have an extremely long life. He also said the signals com ing from the - Russian satellite "contain telemetering information which appears to include data of several different types." He add ed that complete analysis of that data "will have to await informa tion from' the U.S.S.R." Dr. Fred L. Whipple, director of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory at Cambridge, Mass, said scientists have determined that the Russian moon is. sending information about the temperature in the. upper, atmosphere. He said what other information, may be involved could not be established immediately. During the past two days-, there have been a number of claimed sightings of (he satellite in this country, but these have been dis counted. ''"- ' 1 SPOTTED However, three young -Univer sity of Alaska scientists, were .re ported yesterday to have been the first Americans to see the satel lite with the naked eye. Dr. Gordon B. Little, assistant director of the university's geo physical station, said Robert S. Leonard, Joseph Pope and Dr. Gi ancarlo Rumi watched it for five minutes starting at 9:53 a.m., EST, yesterday. Little told the Seattle Post-In telligencer the observers saw it as a bright star-like object, moving in a slow graceful curve across the sky like a very slow shooting star." . A Harvard scientist speculated the three may instead have seen the still orbiting third stage of the launching rocket which put the moon in its orbit, but Little said the three observers were sure of their sighting because they re corded radio signals from the sat ellite at the same time. He said Leonard, the first to see it. had predicted correctly the ex act spot of its appearance. TIMETABLE Moscow radio periodically has been giving timetables for pass age of the Russian satellite over various poinls of the globe. Its latest schedule listed these passes today over Western Hemisphere cities. All are in Eastern Stand ard Time: Boston, 6:56 a.m.; Minneapolis, 8:33 a.m.; St. Louis, 8:34 a.m.; Jacksonville, Fla., 8:37 a.m.; Hon olulu, 3:18 a.m. In addition to official monitor ing stations, private and govern ment radio operators have been picking up signals from the satel lite. Some American specialists said the advent of the space satellite pointed to the coming of rocket travel to the moon and possibly other planets. Whipple spoke of the possibility of this happening within the next few decades. GOP Plans Made For Session - SALEM- Iff Republican mem- ttwtrrf nl tha lfficlatilr Afftr-iallv I arinntait thatr lav nrnsram at a caucus "here Sunday. The program, which they will support it a special legislative session beginning in three weeks, calls for a 59 million dollar in come tax reduction and repeal of the state property tax. It is virtually the same as the plan proposed by. Republican legislative leaders- two weeks ago. Gov. Robert Holmes, who or dered the special session, pro posed a much smaller income tax reduction. Long War' Forecast In Marino SAN MARINO I "It looks like it's going to be a long war." That s the way San Marinese to day assessed the trouble which has divided their tiny republic into two armed camps. So far not a shot has been fired between supporters of the rival Communist and anti-Communist governments, which have been on guard against each other for a week. And neither seems to have the means or desire to force a showdown. With no solution in sight, San Marinese are buckling down with the prospect of some food short age, no postal service and disrup tion of the tourist trade. NOT SERIOUS Since most of the hilltop repub lic's 14.000 people are farmers, the food shortage is not likely to be too serious. But the Italian blockade of all approaches to San Marino has cut off the supply of vegetables and other foods which usually flow in. The post office is in the hands of the Communists. Italy, which completely surrounds the repub lic and has recognized the anti- Red regime, is allowing ' none of San Marino s mail out. The a n t i-Communist govern ment controls only one remote corner of the 38-square-miIe coun try. But it plans to set up a post office. Italy probably would per mit the flow of its mail. DISPUTE Planning for a long dispute, the anti-Communists are setting up prefabricated huts complete with bathtubs at the abandoned steel factory they use as head quarters. The anti-Communists used plane yesterday to drop leaflets for the second time on San Ma rino. The leaflets warned shop keepers net to sell supplies to the Red government on credit. The anti-Communist band of 100 armed volunteers was joined yes terday by 1!) Italian policemen who removed their Italian insig nia. ARMED ' ' The Reds have about 200. civili an militiamen armed with rifles and submachine guns. The 180 man San Marino police force has remained neutral. The dispute began a week ago last night. Anti-Communists said the Red regime, in power since 1944, had lost its parliamentary majority through defections. The ami-Communists set up a pro visional" government when the Reds refused to leave office. High Court Opens Term WASHINGTON (A A 19-min ute session Monday started the Supreme Court on a new term that is expected to bring far- reaching decisions affecting race relations. Communist activities and a . wide variety of other na tional problems. Led by Chief Justice Warren, the nine black-robed jurists marched to the high bench at noon, in a packed courtroom. Several hundred would-be spec tators waited outside the court room, unable to get in. Warren, beginning his fifth year on the high bench, presided over the admission of 49 attorneys to practice. The justices then left the bench. For the remainder of the week, the justices will consider what action they will take on some of the many petitions filed during the summer recess. An unusually heavy docket of about 800 cases confronts them. September Wet Month Seotember proved to be a warm, wet month according In figures released last week by the USWB station on Link River. Total precipitation for the month was 3.06 inches as compared to 0.81 inches last year and a normal figure of 0.58 inches. Total precip itation to date is 18.32 inches against a normal of 13.40 inches. Mean monthly temperature for September this year was 60.3 de grees compared to 58.8 for the same month last year and an all- records normal of 59.3. Hottest day of the month was the 6th with a recording of 92 degrees. Coldest day was the 201 h with a chilly 29. There were 21 clear, one partly cloudy and eight cloudy days during the month. Couple Die In Crash Of Plane PHOENIX. Ariz. I A Spo kane, Wash., business man and his wife were killed Monday when their light plane crashed shortly after taking off from the Phoenix Sky Harbor airport. They were identified as C. H. Davis, about 55, and his wife, Nila, about 40. Davis was head of the Modern Machinery Co. of Spokane, which he lounded. He was flying a com pany plane on a business trip.

Reds Test Hydrogen Explosive LONDON (UP)-Radio Moscow announced today that Russia ex ploded a "powerful hydrogen de vice of new desisn" Sundav. The unusual Tass News Agency announcement said that "in the interest of the safety of the popu lation and of those taking part in the test, the explosion was carried out at great altitude." "The test," it added, "was sue cessful." The official Tass announcement, broadcast by Radio Moscow, was highly unusual. Russia seldom dis closes nuclear tests until well af ter their completion. Uusually the U.S. and Britain are first to re veal Soviet blasts. First news of the explosion came from the Japan Meteorological Board. It said in Tokyo that Soviet Russia tested another nuclear weapon Sunday night. Today's announcement did not hint what kind of "new design" was involved. It did not describe the explosion as a bomb but as a "device." The Japanese Meteorological noara reported unusual atmos- pheric pressure early Sundav. This citarjfictn. tho.

W-A sur- face calm overlaid this focal point of the South's integration struggle during the weekend. But outside the state there was sound and fury. In Little Rock, only the presence of troops around Central High School betrayed the appearance that all was well. But elsewhere: A South Carolina county bought nine submachineguns to repel any federal troops which might be sent there as they were here.. A burning cross, symbol of Southern resistance reaching back to Reconstruction days, blazed on the lawn of Gov. Theodore R. Mc Keldin of Maryland, a critic of Arkansas' Gov. Orval Faubui, whose acts are blamed by some for touching off the Little Rock crisis. DEMAND , . Rep. Keating (R-NY) demand ed release of FBI information oa Little Rock's riots and other oc currences, coupling it with a de nunciation of Faubus. ' ' Roy Wilkins, . executive secre tary of the National Assn. for the Advancement of Colored People, said in Chicago that the "greatest sin" of Faubus "has been arous ing and fanning ugly racial hatred in the minds and hearts of im pressionable white children in the North and South." And an Arkansas GOP leader, Slate Rep. F. A. (Pat) Teagu. said. "The Republicans had just as well write off the South for the next 50 years" because of storms whipped up by the Little Rock case.
