In The- Day's lews By FRANK JENKINS Wcl-M-1-1 Our moon rocket ailed to reach the moon either to circle around it or to smack into it. went higher than anything had ever . pone before 30 times higher than the highest known pre vious (light, this morning's dis patches tell us. That takes care of Sputnik. The financial wires tell us that when the market opened this morning New York stocks ad vanced strongly as a result of the week-end moon shot. The tick ers fell late twice during the first hour of trading. In the opening flurry, gains ran to over two points. That is to say: The moon "shot RESTORED OUR CONFIDENCE in ourselves. What happened? The moon missile was propelled hy a series of rockets. The Air Force scientists explain this morn ing that the rockets that were to carry it through to completion of its mission failed to ignite. The scientists think the extreme cold of ,-utcr space affected the bat teries that were to touch the final rockets off. In other words If the ignition system of your oar fails the car stops, even though you have plenty of gas in the tank. Back in the early days of automobiles, ignition fail ures were very common indeed. New they are rare. The conclusion is that the lime will come when the final rockets won't fail to ignite. Then, pre sumably, we'll get a look at the other side of the moon. How high did the rocket get? The scientists, watching the re ports from its instruments, put the distance at 68,830 NAUTICAL miles. A nautical mile is equal to about 1.15 land miles. That puts the altitude of the rocket at 79.212 land miles. How come nautical miles? well, it s hard to measure an exact mile on water. So, in earlier days of sailing, ships carried a device called a log, which was dragged behind the ship and caused a line to unreel. The line was knotted at intervals of 47 feet, ! three inches. At the end of the first interval was one knot. Two knots marked the end of the sec ond, and so on. .The line was allowed to run for 1 28 seconds. Twenty-eight seconds is to one hour what 47 feet, three inches is to 6.080 feet. Therefore il the log had pulled out five knots in the line in 28 seconds the sailors knew the ship was mov ing at a speed of five knots. Hence the length of the "nauti cal'' mile. Hence also th use of the word "knot" instead of the word "mile" in referring to nauti cal distances and speeds. Supreme Court Refuses Review WASHINGTON Wl - Gov. Orval A. Faubus of Arkansas lost today in an effort to get the U.S. Su preme Court to review an injunc tion issued against him in the school integration row. The injunction, issued by U.S. district Judge Ronald E. Davies, halted Faubus' use of National Guardsmen in September 11157 at Central High School. Little Rock. The guardsmen had turned away nine Negroes from the school. The effect of the refusal is to let lower court orders stand. - CATTLE RUSTLING WARREN. VI.

Force Slosh Viewed WASHINGTON (API The Unit ed States is expected to begin re ducing its naval forces in the For mosa Strait sometime soon, now that Red China has extended its Quemoy cease-fire for two more weeks. President Eisenhower and Sec retary of State Dulles welcomed Ihe Communist action Sunday as good news. Through a White House state mcnt, they promised further ef forts to seek a negotiated settle mcnt of the Formosa problem. The impression in official Wash ington is that Ihe seven-week-old crisis which took the world to the brink of war has ended. Officials believe that wilh this new truce extension the Communists have shown they do not intend to re sume the heavy bombardment of Quemoy which they began Aug. 23 If future events confirm this, the United States will alnwst cer tainlv begin cutting down the pow er of the re-enforced 7th Fleet in Ihe Formosa area.

V KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON, .MONDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1958 Price Five Centu 12 Pages Telephone TU 4-8111 U. S. Moon Rocket Probably WASHINGTON (AP)-The U. S.i moon rocket Pioneer has swooped lo probable disintegration in the earth's atmosphere after blazing never-beforc-travcled path into space. The instrument - laden vehicle didn't make it to the vicinity of the moon. But the Air Force claimed big gains in scientific in formation from the nearly two-day flight of the rocket, whicn reached record of about i'J,120 miles into space. The Pentagon announced early today that the world's first known moon probe plunged back into the atmosphere at about 11 p. m. Sun day. It was assumed Pioneer then burned up from friction. Pioneer s final dive was be lieved to have come at a point over the south Pacilic. There were no immediate reports of any vis ual sightings of the rocket's fin ish.

Scattered new settlements also were reported in local strikes at General Motors. II was the first lime Chrysler operations hud been normal since mid-August when United Auto Workers contracts expired and wildcat walkouts cut into 1959 model output at all Big Three companies. Continuing strikes over local grievances have kept production down despite agreement on new national UAW contracts. General Motors reported 18 of its 126 plants have resumed oper ations with 44,(100 workers back. Although 108 GM plants are still closed with 231,000 employes idle, Ihe company said more local set tlements are expected before the end of the week. The return to work at Chrysler marked the end of recent tieups in Detroit, Evansvillc, Ind., and Twinsburg, Ohio, plants. four local-level agreements over the weekend at General Mo tors sent some 9.000 back on the job.

Has Disintegrated notice for ihe moon missile -It launched from Cape Canaveral, Fla., before dawn Saturday: "The Hawaiian tracking station lost contact with the U. S. Pioneer lunar probe vehicle at 11:46 p. m. 1 1. DTI. "It was the last tracking sta tion ... to receive signals. Analysis of the data received by the Hawaiian station indicates that the. Pioneer re-entered the earth's atmosphere at approxi mately 12 midnight (EDTi and is assumed to have burned up upon re-entry. The re-entry point was esti mated to ho over the south Pa cific ocean. . . ." The 85-pouiid lunar probe fell short of the hoped for goal of go ing into orbit some dD.UOO miles from the moon. But in traveling about a third of the 222.0IK) miles to the moon, it achieved the deep est penetration yet by a man- made vehicle into the vast uni verse. Scientists said it radioed valu able data back to earth or its lonely journey. Among other Ihings, Ihe experience of Pioneer indicated thai radiation 111 the out er reaches of space may not be as intense as had been thought. This could have strong bearing on future space flight by man, sus cepiiblc to possible radiation poi soning. In this connection, the Air Force claimed Pioneer's epic flight marked Ihe lirst time man has been able lo measure radiation above 25.CKMI miles. niaj. lien, bernara a. acnricver. chief of the Air Force Ballistic Missile Division, said, lhcse measurements will be of great as sistance in improving instruments lor future space and lunar probes and for putting man into space. Schriever, who has over-all re- snonsibililv for the Air Force moon rocket program, spoke at lnglewood, Calif., where the Air Force has been digesting world wide tracking reports on Pioneer. At the same time, Schriever claimed the rocket's 79,120-mile altitude mark is more than 27 times greater lhan any ever be fore achieved. The Air Force said Boneiii Plea Given Court MEXICO CITY (UPD Attor neys for former California official William G. Bonelli have petitioned the criminal court here for an injunction which would prevent Mexican authorities from deport ing him. Bonelli, who had lived in Mex ico for two years under the alias John W.

The extradition proceedings are likely to drag on lor months,, if not years. Bonelli's attorneys arc seeking lo prevent Mexican auth orities liom short-circuiting the process by deporting him as a violator of immigration regula tions.

A. Hawkins, left, Shell Oil Company, and H. B. Dexter, General Petrol, eum Corporation, look on. An estimated 34,000 Oregon citizens depended for their livelihood on the state's oil industry last year. The oil industry also collected and paid1 over 41 million dollars in stale and local taxes during 1957. r No. 6204 'Pioneer' this permitted the first direct measurements of Ihe earth's mag netic field up to that height. Further, the Air Force said Pio neer hit the fastest speed ever reached by a man-made vehicle- more than 23,450 miles an hour. Moscow newspapers published reports from the United States on progress of the Pioneer, but did not go beyond that. President Eisenhower keynoted Western reaction in saying the probe was a tremendous achieve ment that will yield knowledge of great benelit to mankind. Gen. Schriever said that as a result of the moon rocket's two day flight "I feel that manned space travel is something we can look forward to with greater con fidence than before." He also expressed confidence that an orbit around the moon "can be achieved in the not too distant future." Ike Swamped By Requests WASHINGTON (AP)-Presidcnt Eisenhower was reported today to be swamped with requests for per sonal campaigning in behalf of Republican candidates. Many Republicans fighting up hill battles for Senate and House seats now consider a presidential appearance in their states a po litical must. As a result, the GOP National Committee is having dif ficulty trying to sort out a flood of demands. Several were said to have como from GOP candidates who did not always support Eisenhower's pro gram in Congress, and who had counted largely on going their own way in their campaigns. Some of these were reported to be among those most insistent on help from Eisenhower. Republican National Chairman Meade Alcorn said in an inter view he expects the White House to announce this week additional speaking dales for the President lo suppleijient the live-day sortie to California and back starting Thursday. Eisenhower is expected to schedule several appearances in I he Midwest and the East. Alcorn said most of these arc likely to be single-speech trips instead of lour.
