The proposal came from the Portland unit of the Oreson Edu cation Assn., the Portland Grade I 1 1 Z II "3 I m ' mm Y .r 4 ELLIPSES 5 GALILEO BUT IT DOES MOVE 1W by NO Stryict. Inc. CIlOP. 2 I Man's knowledge of the universe moved ahead ,with the years. (1) Nieolaus Copernicus (1473-1543), of Poland, was repelled by the complicated, earth centered Ptolemaic universe which had been ac cepted as truth for centuries. From his observa tions, Copernicus came to the conclusion that the Earth was just another planet, rotating on its axis and revolving about the Sun. The Sun, and not the Earth, -was the center of the universe. Shortly after his death, the Inquisition clamped its grip on Europe. (2) The Italian Giordano Bruno (15487-1600) was not an astronomer, but a philosopher. Herald of the modern age of science, he extended the Copernican system. He proclaimed that not only the Earth, but the Sun and all its planets were only a tiny part of the universe. For such heresy he was burned at the stake. (3) Tycho Brahe (1546-1601) built the first observatory in the western world, on an island ofT his native Denmark. Brahe was a great observer and contributed much to astronomy. But he was never able to accept Copernicus' theories. (4) Brahe's assistant, Johannes Kepler 1571 1630) of Austria, demolished the old Greek as tronomy of perfect circular orbits for planets. His mathematics laid the groundwork for Newton's law of gravitation. (5) The Italian Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) built the first astronomical telescope and was amazed when he turned it toward the Moon. He was the first man to see a heavenly body as it really was. And he declared that Copernicus was right the Earth did indeed move about the Sun. But as an old' man he was forced to recant his theories. It was for a later age to recognize his genius. Next: Newton, Mechanic of the Universe.

Dow J'hoto Teen-Agers Find Mortar Shell PORTLAND (AP)-A live mor tar shell was pulled . from the Tualatin River yesterday by two teen-age fishermen. Ladd Jackson, 14, and Bill Joy ner, said they saw the shell in the water, about 500 yards up stream from the Baldock freeway. They managed to fish it out. The boys said they dropped the shell a couple of times while bringing it home. They had no idea it was dangerous until a neighbor recognized it as a 60 millimeter mortar- shell. A ser geant from the 53rd Ordnance De partment said it was live. He took it away to be destroyed. Children's Killer Pleads Insanity ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (UPD Norman A. Foose, 42, a black bearded prospector, pleaded inno cent by reason of insanity Mon day in the wanton slayings of two children last July 10. Foose, a former mental patient from St. George. Utah, was cap tured shortly after he shot and killed a 10-year-old girl and a 13-year-old boy with a high-powered rifle "because the Lord told me to help depopulate the world." A sanity hearing and hearing on Foose's request for a change of venue have not yet been scheduled. Smoke Bear Breaks 700; Forest Fire Total Drops By DION HENDERSON Associated Press Staff Writer Smokey Bear finally has broken 100. The big buy in the fur coat, symbol of the forest service cam paign to reduce the fire toll of timber and wildlife, might look a little happier on the familiar warn ing posters on the basis of last year's record. Finished totalling up the re ports, the service figures there were only 83,400 forest fires in the Lightning Bolts Strike Airliner LONDON (UPI) Three light ning bolts damaged a British Eu ropean Airways Viscount carrying 45 passengers when it ran into a severe storm over Western r ranee Monday. Pilot John Cann made an emer gency landing at Cognac, France, after the successive bolts cracked the windshield, damaged an en gine cowling, and knocked out the plane's navigation lights. Nobody was hurt. ELVIS' LEAVE EXTENDED MEMPHIS. Tenn. (UPI) The Army has granted a five-day ex tension of singer Elvis Presley's emergency leave. After attending funeral services for his mother, who died last week, Elvis was confioed to bed with a virus infec tion and slight fever. nation last year. That was the first year that fires dropped below the 100.000 mark and compares with 143.000 the previous year. The area burned was reduced by just about half. Ten years ago, there were more than 200,000 fires. The improvement, however, was not a general thing. In the South, the Southern Forest Fire Confer ence formed two years ago in New Orleans could take a good deal of credit in the area s cutting its number of fires by more than half, Under the system, law enforce ment at even the county level has slashed a major cause the in cendiarist. . But in some other states, acre age burned increased from two to seven times. In Idaho, only a few more fires destroyed trees on more than 135.000 acres, compared with less than 20,000 acres burned the year before. Alaska, not included in the state totals for 1957, had one of its worst fire years on record, with 264 fires burning over nearly 5 million acres. Who was the guy responsible for starting most of them? The fellow who started out to burn rubbish So Smokey still has work to do. American Communications System Continues To Grow By ELMER C. WALZER NEW YORK (UPI) With American industry spreading out all over the nation with its branch offices and plants a giant system of communications is growing and growing. American Telephone & Tele ;raph Company's long lines de partment sets up 5.868,760 miles of circuits for 5.527 services to industry in teletypewriter service. Also there are 7,259 users of private telephone lines with a total mileage of 2,565,140 miles. Companies using these far-flung communications systems keep in touch with all developments of their various plants and offices. And the process makes a piece of big business' for the telephone company. Some of the systems resemble the press associations with their busy wire communications throughout the nation. Largest users of private com munication systems include Gen eral Motors. General Electric U. S. Steel, Western Electric, Du Pont, New York Central, Chesa-i peake & Ohio, Republic . Steel, ! Armour and Swift. Of course, thei airlines are linked up with a vast network of wires. i One of the new communications systems recently installed was for Swift & Co. Swift replaced its old communications system with; fully automatic teletypewriter system, the first of its kind in the food industry, according to Ameri can Telephone. That company notes that Swift must have speedy communications because of the keen competition in the meat business where pro ducts are perishable, and profit margins very close. Market prices and available product supplies must be kept under constant ob servation. . The system also aids the im mediate delivery of products and permits a quick response to cus tomer inquiries. Information comes in from all over the country and is processed by ATT processing equipment and facts then are distributed to the Swift sales organization. Swift's new communication sys tem links 55 cities from coast to coast with 16,400 miles of cir cuits. It can transmit 90,000 words an hour, more than twice the wordage of the company's old system.
