s PARE KIGHT FRIDAY. DECEMBER 5. U.S. Moon Rocket Trip May Last Milleniums By JOHN BAItnOL'R AfcMicialrd Press Science Writer NEW YORK IAPI-A husc U.S. moon rocket short on brains but lone on brawn may blast into (pace this weekend on a trip thai could take just 34 hours, but might last millions n years. It is the U.S. Army's first shot at the moon and like its Explor er satellite shots, the Army hasn't pared the horses. This is perhaps the greatest dif ference between the planned Army probe and the last three shots by the U. S. Air Force, one of which reached as high as 79.000 miles. The Air Force satellite weighed about 85 pounds. It was aimed at an orbit or at least a single trip around the moon. In its final stage it carried the electronic brains pnd maneuvering rocket to do the job. The 30-pound Army shot is less ambitious. 11 too is aimed at the moon with the intention of hitting the lunar surface. But if all work, well it may be destined for greater glory. The Army has packed its rock el, dubbed .luno II, with enough power and speed to overcome the pull of the earth s gravity shot Deputies Find Drown Victims PORTLAND (API Sheriff's dep uties Thursday recovered t h e bodies of a man and his son. whq were drowned in the Columbia River near Sundial Beach here Saturday. Otis Johnson, 4fi, and his son 'Wayne. IB, vanished when their small boat capsi.ed west of Cor- bett while they were on a duck hunting excursion. Another John son, Lloyd, 17, and a friend, John Bergeson, also 17, swam to safely. says It has a 1 In 2 chance ot building up escape velocity and so blasting away from the earth into a possible orbit around the sun. Such an orbit might last millions of years. This assumes lirst that all the moon rocket s engines will lire and that it will overshoot the moon. The moon is not an easy target to hit. So many things are un known about its mass and behav ior that it can easily be missed Just as unpredictable is the be havior of the moon rocket itself. The Air Force rocket that burned almost 80.000 miles above the earth man's greatest penc (ration of space might have gone to the moon. But with each stage of its Might, it fell a little more away from its programed nath. Finally It was at sucn an angle that its energy was not most ef- liiientlv used and it wore itself out before it had gone more than a third of the way. The Army rocket has the power to slice through a big hunk of space more power than it needs to hit the moon. It is generally conceded that the Army rocket vslem has more horsepower than the Air rorce touched oil. You can get some idea by look ing at the traveling times. The Air Force shot was to lake 72 Hours belore it was within moon range The Army shot will probably take about 34 hours. The Army has kept mum on its rocket plans, because it said it doesn't want to occasion a build up of public expectancy and the consequent pressure on its rocket people. But two days ago the service tower was pulled back from the big moon rocket at Cape Canav eral, Fla., and it stood with its nose only shrouded. .

WASHINGTON (API In in creasing numbers, both labor and nanagement groups are estamisn ng some sort of arrangement to vushion the money loss entailed in i strike. Unions do it by saving up huge trike funds. Companies are start is to do it by agreements pro ving that a group of firms will ool the strike loss of any one of hem. The most publicized is a recent ireement among six major air :nes to share with a struck air ine the extra revenues the others ;et because the one is out of op ration. Capital Airlines recently exper enced a 38-day strike. But air- .inc industry sources say Capital merged without much out-of- pocket loss because of the pooling reemcnl. The Civil Aeronautics Board, cidentally, announced it was go ing to take a long look at this novel plan and set a lull hearing lor Jan. 14. Meantime, it let the pact stand. Trans World Airlines and East ern Air Lines, both now shut down by strikes, are due strike benefits under the plan. Other participating airlines are American, United and Pan American World Airways. On the other side of the picture, the International Assn of Machin ists, which struck Capital. IVtA and Eastern, pays strike benefits to strike-idled workers, out oi a fund exceeding two million dollars the union pays strikers $35 a week starling the second week of a walkout. The figure was raised last month from $10 a week. It is reported that other indus tries have strike-aid plans al though none are known to divide profits on the pattern of the air line plan. Some newspapers carry strike insurance that provides in demnity benefits when their work ers walk out. Labor Department officials say thai well over half, perhaps 60 per cent, of all the nation's 18 million union members are backed up by strike benelils of some Sort. The United Aulo Workers, for example, have set up a 50-million-rinllar strike fund now cut in half due to a rash of UAW strikes this year. It's rumored the UAW plans to boost its strike lund to too million. UAW pays benefits after two weeks of a strike. Benefits vary N) per ceni oi regular pay tor the according to family status up to worker wilh dependents, 40 per $30 weekly. They get higher as cent for the single worker. the strike gets longer. Airline pilots have the richest plan, wilh benefits ranging from low ot $350 lo a nign oi 03u a month.

Holiday shoppers are asked to drop new toys for boys or girls into the barrels to be distributed to anticipated 400 children on Christmas Eve who might other wise be forgotten. Nearly that num ber were taken care of in 1957. Barrels were delivered through the courtesy of the Bend-Portland Truck Service. J. L. Morlel, in charge of "Op eration Santa Claus," announces that teen-agers also are to be remembered through the sale of Christmas trees on the Balsiger Motors storage lot at Main and Broad streets.
