It started day before yesterday when the Los Angeles chamber of com merce announced that the two-county Los Angeles area now has 55.000 more people than the seven-county Chicago area. It backed up its claim, with the statement that 6,450.000 persons row live in the Los Angeles area as compared to only 6,395,000 in Chicago. That brought from Thomas Coult er, director of the Chicago Associa tion of Commerce and Industry, this crack: "If it's true, they're growing only because Chicagoans who made their bundle in the world's most productive market are going out there to RETIRE," He added with a righteous sniff: "I'm not going to argue about it. I don't know, and they don't either. We'll have to wait until the I960 census. But I'm sure we're over six and a half mil lion now." Hmmmmmmmmm. I think they're both too big. Ants live in immense anthills. WHO WANTS TO BE AN ANT? Shucks! Chicago and L.A. are pikers. Listen to, this: According to the Pciping radio FIVE HUNDRED MILLION Chi nese are now living in the beehive like "communes" that have been decreed by China's communist gov ernment as the proper way f o r Chinese to live. What's a commune? One guesses it's something like the pigeon-holes that were placed in the back of old-fashioned roll top desks, the idea being to pro vide space where a fabulous num ber of papers could be tucked away and FORGOTTEN. That seems to be what they're doing with t h e Chinese they're tucking into com munes. ... I'll risk a small bet. The Chinese who are being tucked into these communes aren't going to like it. They'll like it less and less as time passes. I could go a little farther and offer a prediction that the time will come when both Chicago and Los Angeles will wish they had a few less people rather than a whale ot a lot more. not up to the anticipated holiday season level. Women's Wear Daily, a trade publication, reported: "Ready-to-wear sales have be gun, to suffer under the eclipse of fashion and promotional advertis ing. It wis being admitted in some retail circles that sales were suffering more than most mer chants would admit publicly." The publication added that, so far as could be determined, de partment stores "were heading for a loss week in sales volume, and for many it would be a consider able drop tn sales as compared with a year ago. Publishers, of course, were tak ing a heavy loss in advertising and circulation revenue. Editor & Publisher said that direct business losses to the newspapers the first week were estimated at easily 13 million dollars. fcvery weekday the papers don t prr.1t, the publication add ed, is costing the struck nine more than $1,500,000. Big Sunday papers mean a total of about $3,800,000 lost." In addition to the striking de- liverymen, about 15,000 furloughed employes of the newspapers re porters, printers, pressmen and the like -.vere idled without pay as a result of the shutdown. With joint negotiations dead locked, mediation efforts in the prolonged strike were called off until 2 p.m. Monday. Federal me diators, however, held themselves in readiness to meet sooner "if circumstances warrant." A spokesman for the Allied Printing Trades Cou-.icil, which represents the newspaper craft unions, said representatives of other unions would meet Monday morning with Sam Feldman, head of the independent Newspaper Mail and Deliverers Union. The newspapers whose presses have been stilled are the New York Times, Herald Tribune, News, Mirror, Post, World-Telegram and Sun, Journal-American, Long Island Star-Journal and Long island Press, lhey have a com bined circulation of 5.500,000 daily and a Sunday circulation of eight million.

David Young, space technology coordinator for the Pentagon's Ad vanced Research Projects Agen cy, gave this account Saturday in telling of plans to break current bottlenecks in long-distance com munications. . ARPA directed the launching of the Atlas which is now orbiting high above the earth with tiny radios and a tape recorder aboard. Young told a reporter that salel- iles would be used as space re lay stations to transmit messages on high radio frequencies which cannot be used in ordinary trans oceanic long range radio trans mission. He indicated Die system would also add vastly to the message capacity now offered on crowded oceanic cables. The radio system consists of two devices each a little larger Uunrris and nictures to other satel- than an ordinary portable radio. jtes or rehroadcast downward. Each can receive voice or tele- 0r travelling satellites would ; grupmcnype radio, sior u on a lape recorder, then transmit it to a ground ..receiving station . upon proper . command. Two devices are carried in case one should fail. Each was tuned to a slightly different wavelength. Atlas will pick up only mes sages which are in a proper code, thus cutting out unwanted signals. Likewise special ground receiv ers are set to catch only such messages as are addressed to them in their particular codes. Young said that at present the receiving stations are not placed ideally for a worldwide relay sys tem. It would be ideal and plans envision this to have them all lo cated near the equator. Because the four Army stations tracking Atlas in the southern United States are well north of tht equator while Atlas' path travels to and fro across the equa tor, there was a 20-hour delay aft er launching before the satellite's tracks happened to come close enough to trigger the Eisenhower nroadcasl. fiddled wi'h glasses in one hand as CHRISTMAS SCENE in the lobby of the Weed Hotel shows family of walking and talking marionettes built during the- last five years by Phil Jacobsen, manager of the Weed Hotel. Each figure stands nearly 36 inches and is carved from pine. They were made without use of any mechanical tools, Jacobsen said. Clothing is all tailor-made and the wigs of human hair. The faces and detailed features are handpainted and each head was carved from a solid block of wood. The life-like family Christmas scene is a unique display among the many yuletide decorations arranged by the various business establishments in Weed. The Weed Hotel is a landmark, itself, and the display is e spectacular point of interest. Photo by Lucile Gaynor, Weed Oh, well; when that time comes we can take care of a few of them up here in our State of Jelferson. But not loo many. We want no beehives. We want no anthills. We want no communes. We love the depths of our big woods, with the sunlight filtering down and lighting up the aisles that lead. away among the mighty trunks of the trees. We love the vast sweeps of our high deserts at the hour when the sage is tinged with purple and the horizon mountains are inky - blue against a crystalline sky. We love our trails where a man can be alone with his saddle horse and his pack mule and yet never FEEL alone. Here in our Slate of Jefferson, we want just enough company but not too much. Giant Brain Guards U.S. Soviet Paper Blasts NATO MOSCOW (AP) Pravda com plained bitterly Saturday that the North Atlantic Treaty Organiza tion has no business concerning it Self with Berlin. The NATO Council of Foreign Ministers issued a communique in Paris Tuesday saying that all the NATO nations are behind the United States, Britain and France in defiance of the Soviet Union over Berlin. The Western Big Three have re jected Soviet demands that they withdraw their troops from occu pation of West Berlin by next June 1. In making the demand on Nov. 27 Premier Khrushchev also said the Russians will give the East German Communist regime control over the 110-mile allied supply lines that connect West Berlin with West Germany if the Allies remain. ' Fighting Erupts tn ROK Assembly SEOUL (AP) Fighting broke out in the South Korean National Assembly Saturday when guards tried to remove bedding of opposi tion Democrats who were staging a (itdown strike. One Democrat was seriously hurt -in the 10-minute fight which smashed furniture and overturned the speaker's rostrum. He was hospitalized. ,The sitdown began rriday in protest to a bill by President Syng man Rhee's Liberals to amend the National Security Law. The Liberals say the changes are needed to deal with increased communist espionage. The Dem ocrats contend the changes would curtail press freedom and human rights. TITLE CHANGED SALT LAKE CITY (AP)-Char-Kte Sheffield, 22. the MUs United States for 1958. had a new till; Sat urday. She became Mrs. M. Rich ard Maxfield Friday. KINGSTON, N.Y. (UPI) A! giant mechanical brain is now guardirtg parts of the United States day and night against ene my aerial attack. The Air Force Friday look the wraps off this astounding electron ic machine and let newsmen walch it order a rocket off the ground 1,500 miles away. The rocket passed up a decoy and in tercepted a mock "enemy" plane heading for America's East Coast. It was a true pushbutton war fare, the mark of how machines are replacing humans. The setting was befitting a sci ence fiction yarn. It was the darkened inner laboratory of the International Business Machines plant at Kingston, N.Y., M miles north of New York City. Covering an area bigger than a basketball court was the brain, row after row of eight-foot panels with flash ing lights and more than 60,000 tubes. Far down the coastline at Cape Canaveral was the Bomarc rocket that the brain controlled. On a circular glass radar screen with the outline of Florida's lower peninsula imposed were moving white blips showing two planes out over the Atlantic heading toward Canaveral. Then came one of the few hu man decisions: The planes were determined "hostile." The brain asked Cape Canaveral the readiness of its Bomarc rock et, continued to trick the plane. Then came a second human ac tion: A young IBM engineer named Jack Coleman pushed a button marked "fire." In war time, a general would make that decision. Instantly the brain took over. It rechecked again the course of the planes, launched the Bomarc and headed it straight for the nearer one an unmanned B17 drone. No matter what evasive action the drone took, the brain outthought it and changed the rockets course. Then one final human interven tion. It was decided tn pass the B17 and destroy a faster F80 plane to the north. It was the first time a Bomarc was recommit ted" from one target to another after launching. Within six minutes of firing, the Bomarc reached the F0O. Had it carried a nuclear warhead and a proximity fuse, it would have b'asted the drone from the sky. As it was, the F80 was purposely aliowed to survive though it danced crazily in the shock waves from the passing rocket. Caril Given Life Sentence LINCOLN, Neb. (UPI) Caril Ann Fugate, 15, was sentenced to life imprisonment in the slate re formatory for women Saturday for aiding mass slayer Charles Stark weather in one of his 11 confessed murders. Caril, warf'Diit composed, looked directly at District Judge Harry Spencer, her hands clasped be hind her, as the judge pronounced sentence. Spencer read the sentence after overruling Caril's .motion for a new trial. "No prejudicial error was com mitted," Spencer said. He made the ruling after a week's study of evidence presented in the four- week trial. The judge commented specific ally ct.i a charge by Caril's attor ney, John McArthur, that the girl had been denied a fair trial be cause a member of the jury had made a one dollar bet that the girl- would get the electric chair. The bet, apencer said, was "a reprehensible act and cannot be condoned. Yet, he said, the question here is Whether it pre vented the girl from having a fair trial." He said the court concluded there was so indication that the juror, W. A. Walenta, was moti vated in any way by the bet. He added that evidence in the case was conclusive, and that no at tempt was made by Walenta to influence other jury members to impose the death sentence.

State Gunman Is Arraigned MEDFORD, Ore. (UPI) An Oregon gunman, who was cap tured by three San Jose State College students, was arraigned in district court Friday on charges of assault with intent to kill and assault with irllent to commit robbery. The gunman, Jerry E. Golden, 29, Ashland, was jailed in lieu of $50,000 bail. Police . said Golden admitted shooting Ray- Reid, .32, Mcdford, in a tavern Thursday because Reid complained about Golden playing the same lune over and over on the juke box. Reid is presently recovering. Golden then robbed the bar tender and fled in his car, but the vehicle struck a telephone' pole. The three students, who stopped to give aid, captured Golden when he pointed a gun at them.

ARPA scientists indicated lhey wanted more precise information on Atlas' travels before they try a new recording. They hoped for solid 72-hour orbit data sometime Saturday which will allow accurate predictions of the satellite's future path during its estimated 20-day mte. As of latest word the east-bound Atlas was rounding the globe ev ery 101 minutes, 14.4 times a day, at heights from 114 to 928 miles. Communications experts saw in Atlas a pioneering stride toward systems carrying large amounts of information to any point on earth. The present radio wave lengths are already overcrowded. Land wires and oceanic cables are busy and expensive. The scientists hope to open up a new communication field by beaming signals line-ot-sight up to satellites in the comparatively spacious high frequencies, ine satellites would then relay tne that U.S. Ready To Make Bid Hoffa Denies Union Bribe LOS ANGELES (AP)-James R Hoffa denies the Teamsters Union has offered a New York attorney $133,000 if he would iiuit as court appointed monitor over Teamster affairs.

WASHINGTON (UPD-The Uni fed Slates was reported ready Sat urday to oiler Hussia a firm guar anlce against any increase in German military might if the Kremlin will agree to reunifica tion of Germany under free elec tions. The guarantee might well in clude i Western agreement to go to the aid of Russia if it should ever be attacked by resurgent German militarism, which the Russians profess to fear. High officials said they believe that mounting unrest in Soviet-oc cupied East Germany has reached the point where a serious explo sion is dciimte possibility. They thought this might force Soviet Premier Nikita Khrush chev fo agree fo reunification on Western terms if Communist fears of German military might could be set at rest. The Washington visit next month of Khrushchev's right-hand man, Deputy Premier Anasta's I. .Mikoyan. is eagerly awaited to see whether It will produce some sign that Khrushchev is ready to extricate himself from the Berlin crisis and talk seriously about solving the German problem.
