Dr. Brothers claims all her feats of memory are strictly the result of proper training, and that any body can do the same. The attractive Joyce set out . quite deliberately to be a quiz show winner, because she wanted to stay, home and take care of her babyvdaughter, Lisa, now aged 4, giving up her Income as a collego psychology teacher. Her husband Dr. Milton Brothers was still an intern, earning $50 a month, so another source of rev enue was needed. "I studied just as I would for a collego exam, only much hard er and longer." says she. "I still feel sort of limp, from the long concentration."

Air Force Scientists Predict ICBM Defense Near WASHINGTON W The Xir Force says a scientific team is probing the possibility of nuclear explosions in space as a possible weapon against intercontinental missiles. An announcement from Kirtland Air Force Base, N.M., Friday night said a group of 16 scientists is near "a major scientific break through, the key to America's de fense against an intercontinental ballistics missile." Col. McPherson Morgan, head of the group, declined to say whether such a blast might be used to knock out an ICBM. But he (aid: "There are several interesting phenomena of a nuclear explo sion, and some are more affected by the presence of air than others. "We feel that we have ways of destroying nuclear and non-nuclear rockets out in space." Pentagon officials had no im mediate comment. Maj. Gen. A. R. Luedetke, who will conduct the U.S. nuclear tests in the Pa cific next year, also declined comment. Lt. Col. Carlo Tosti of the Air Force's Air Research and Development Command said in Baltimore he was "sure such in formation is classified." Disclosure of the Kirtland proj ect followed by a few hours the announcement by Secretary of Defense McElroy that he was creating a special new post to co ordinate space-age "weapons pro jects of the future" including anti-missile missiles.

Harmonious grouping of plants and shrubs in landscaping will be discussed by Al Baker of the Suburban Nursery, for the topic of the meeting. McElroy disclosed plans for the new job in a news conference Fri day at which he also said that at next month's NATO meeting in Paris, the United States will seek agreements for advance missile bases overseas. He said the United States wants to locate intermediate range bal listic missiles, those with a reach of 1,500 miles, on foreign bases within range of "our prospective enemy, obviously meaning Russia. McElroy conceded that it "seems rather obvious that we are behind the Russians" in mis sile and satellite development. But. McElroy added, the United States "can close the gap and do even better. McElroy also announced that his missile assistant, William M. Holaday, was being given expand ed authority and the new title of director of missiles. The secretary said Holaday would have author ity over all existing missile pro grams that are too far along to be absorbed by the new space boss, who he said will handle "weapons projects of the future." Shortly after the McElroy con ference, the Air Force disclosed that its intercontinental missile, the Snark, delivered a simulated hydrogen warhead on a target 5,000 miles from its launching. The announcement said the mis sile streaked to its target "with unprecedented accuracy" in Oct. 31 test. "The flight was the world's first known demonstration of a true in tercontinental missile capability," the Air Force statement said. The Snark. now in production for the Strategic Air Command, is a swept-wuig weapon which oper ates at about the speed of sound. Late Friday, a device de scribed as a small test vehicle was fired from the big missile center at Cape Canaveral, Fla. The device was not identified, but an informed source said it was quite small. It was the second Canaveral fir ing in two days. A Bomarc guided missile was tested there Thurs day. The Bomarc is an antiair craft weapon.

SALEM Wl The Oregon Legis latures 19-day special session ended quietly Friday night after weary lawmakers accepted a 20 per cent income tax reduction that nobody liked. ' Republicans who wanted a 30 per cent reduction did not like it because the tax cut wasn't big enough. Democrats wanted a 10 per cent reduction, so they thought the compromise does not leave enough money to finance the increased costs they expect in the next bienmum. It was the first special session in 20 years, and was the first ever The Fairhaven Home i called in Oregon, to reduce taxes. The legislators, tired of the un usual amount of partisan bitter ness, were glad to see the end come at 7:14 p.m. The 20 per cent reduction in cludes an average 18.7 per cent reduction in personal income tax rates by adopting a schedule of 3 to 9.5 per cent. The present sched ule is 4 to 11.6 per cent. It helps business by providing loss carryover and accelerated depreciation provisions. Persons over 65 years old will get their $6 tax credit doubled. The blind get an extra benefit by changing their $600 extra exemption to a flat tax credit of $18. Tax credits are the amounts that can be deducted from the net tax. After the. House and Senate approved the income tax bill) the House kept its bargain to consider the Senate-passed bill to take the state out of the property tax field. Surprisingly, it passed 44-16, and went to the governor. This bill repeals the law under which the state could levy a 6-mill property tax whenever other forms of revenue fall short of state needs. However, Oregon has not had a property tax at the state level since 1940.

It will be joint installation of legionnaires and auxiliary unit degree team of the Paul Bunyan Voiture No. 222 of 40 et 8. Dinner will be served at 6:30 p.m. and initiation will follow. All members are invited to attend. WorkghAD Th Vvni-ornAn Garden Club will have an Arts and Crafts Workshop at Jones Kitchen at the fairgrounds on Monday evening, November 18. at 7 o'clock. All 24 Republicans and 20 Demo crats voted for the bill, while the 16 opposing votes were cast by Democrats. Another late-hour action was the House's 45-15 defeat of a Senate bill that would have given proper ty tax exemptions on homes of persons over 65 who earn less than $1,200 a year. The personal income tax bill also contains a provision that whenever its revenues exceed 87.5 millions a year, there shall be an automatic tax decrease of 1 per cent for each million dollars col lected above that figure. But that "decelerator clause" probably could not go into effect. The compromise bill reduces an nual income tax collections from 91 to 74 millions. The estimated surplus at the end of the biennium on June 30, 1959, now will be 31 million dol lars, compared with 74 millions before the special session started. The Legislature voted several days ago to boost basic school aid from $95 per school census child per year to $105. The effect of this is to provide 5 millions a year of property tax relief, starting next year. space chief post in the Defense Department, McElroy said he hopes the position can be filled within a month, either from civil- lan or military ranks. He added that the job, which has not yet been given a definite title, will involve the management of what he termed upstream type projects such as the anti missile missile, and military ap plications of space vehicles. One purpose of the action in establishing the job was to cur tail rivalry among the armed services. McElroy said that Holaday, in his new capacity as missile direc tor, will retain direction over the scientific satellite programs only during the International Geophysi cal Year, which runs through the end of 1958. Thereafter, McElroy added, the military application of space ve hicles will be turned over to the new space boss. mctiroy s reorganization an nouncement came only a few hours after Dr. James R. Killian was sworn in as President Eisen hower s scientif lc-m i 1 i t a r y co ordinator. Killian, on leave from , his job as president of Massachusetts In stitute of Technology, declined to comment on the scope of his new White House job. McElroy said he thinks that at the present time, the IRBM "should have our greatest atten tion. He said that missile is nearest to perfection. At Pasadena, Calif., last night, scientists unwrapped a Navv-de- veloped satellite which thev said will be launched by the Army in tne nrst three months of next year. Dr. William H. Pickering, direc tor of the jet propulsion labora tories of California Institute of Technology, said: we expect that the first flight will be made some time between the first of the year and the end of March." The U.S. artificial moon is to be fired into space with a JuiDter-C rocket under development at the Army s Redstone Arsenal in Ala bama. The Navy plans to launch its first small test satellite next month, and to put a fully instru mented sphere into orbit in March. Republicans Pledge Aid To Congress Candidates By JAMES C.

Branded Hoax ... - ; -WASHINGTON W) The Air Force has pooh-poohed five recent reports of strange lights ana un usual objects in the sky. Investigators .labeled one of the cases a "hoax, ana saia me others were exaggerations or mis understandings ; of natural phe nomena. The hoax tag was pinned on a storv told bv a Kearney, Neb., man, who said he toured a space ship manned by a German:speak inff crew. .- - "Investigation revealed that lo cal officials ' consider originator wholly unreliable," the Air Force said in a report issued rriaay. It was reported earlier from Nebraska that the man who told the space ship story had agreed to undergo psychiatric examina tion. ... The other cases involved a big glowing object said to have been seen touching ground near Level land, Tex., similar reports from near Alamogordo, N.M.; bright liehts reDOrted seen by a Coast Guard cutter crew m the Gulf of Mexico, ana Dy military punue m the White Sands, N.M., area. Second Flu Wave Sweeps Japan TOKYO Wl ' A second wave of Asian Influenza is sweeping Japan and four deaths were re ported in Tokyo Saturday. Health authorities said 74 schools reported outbreaks of flu cases bringing the cumulative to tal of schools affected to 975. The epidemic now has claimed 34 lives in Tokyo. Delegates from 11 Western states, Hawaii and Alaska agreed at the close of their - three-day meeting that the GOP must close ranks behind all .Republican candi dates no matter whether they be classed as Eisenhower "progres sives," middle-ot-tne- roaders or right-wing conservatives. As CD. Crippa, National Com mitteeman from Wyoming put it: "If we lose more seats to the Democrats next year, I am afraid we are going back to 1932, and the new deal, and I doubt if we can elect a president in 1960. We must quit knocking our own heads together and tearing down the Eisenhower administration," he said. "Stop criticizing Ike or we are going out of power again." Crippa echoed the sentiments expressed earlier in the confer ence by H. - Meade Alcorn Jr., Chairman of the Republican Na tional Committee. Alcorn pledged the national GOP never would try to purge any Republican senator or congressman. . "There is plenty of room in our party for all kinds of Republi cans," Alcorn said. At the final business meeting of the conference, the delegates were expected to endorse resolutions calling for Immediate statehood for Hawaii and Alaska and a reso lution by Sen. George W.. Malone (R-Nev.) asking Congress to let the 1934 Trade Agreements Act expire next June. Malones resolution, in effect, would return tariff-making powers to Congress and remove it from the executive branch. It is a popu lar position among agriculture and mining interests in the west.
