HERALD Jjn NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS.' OftECOV FACE TWO WEDNESDAY. JANTTARY 2R. M9 Top Scientists Predict Travel To Moon By 1969 WASHINGTON 'AP Fifty top Scientists peered into space today and saw a man on the moon perhaps by V.tb'J. Or man may set foot on the moon in 15 and zoom on to Mars and Venus three years la ter. That is asiuniiiis space pro jects get very high priority and a billion dollars a year, says Her bert F. York, the Peni agon's re search chief. The views of York and other space experts, including live from other free world countries, were issued in a report by the House Space Committee on "The Next 10 Years in bpace. The report asked, "Where does fantasy end and reality begin?" In their answers to committee questionnaires, the scientists were dead serious, even if they varied widely on the timing of seemingly fantastic events. Their outside time limit on trips to the moon and beyond was generally 20 years. For other ventures like develop ment of a possible death ray weap on able to shatter objects from hundreds of miles in space the time was indefinite. A number felt that 1969 may be too early to count on having a man on the moon. Among , them was T. Keith Glennan. head of U.S. civilian space work. But Glennan ligured there is a food chance that Americans will circle the moon without landing in the next decade. Army missile- man Wernher von Braun foresaw a lunar landing a few years there after. Glennan announced Tuesday night that 110 potential candidates for the first orbit flight around the earth already have been picked. Some other predictions were enough to stagger the imagina tion. Within 40 years, said Dr. Eugen Sanger, director of the Institute of Jet Propulsion Physics at the Technical University of Stuttgart, Germany, man may be traveling at 670 million miles an hour al most the speed of light. But long before the year 2ono rockets will deliver mail in min utes around the earth, forecast the founder ot the Italian, Rocket Assn. Dr. Glauco Partel. James M Gavin, former Army rc-soarch chief, likewise saw mail becoming almost as swilt as the telephone, and rockets otherwise used commonly for what air trans ports now do. Frederick C. Durant III, former head of the International Astro nautical Federation, predicted the Soviets will send man into orbit and back several times in 1959 and will otherwise shock Americans by "pressing their current advant aeous lead" in spacecraft.' Brig. Gen. H. 'A. Boushcy, the Air Force's technology director foresaw the building of a large space station piece by piece near the end of the next decade. This would be the refueling and jump- otf point for trips lurther out. Sanger spoke of a possible ultra violet searchlight in space which, using high-energy beams, could shoot a death ray "destroying lly ing objects up to a distance of several hundreds of miles in a fraction of a second." Atomic Energy Commission Chairman John- A. McCone ex pressed confidence in the develop ment of a powerful nuclear rocket engine within the next 10 years plus small atomic units for mak ing electricity aboard spaceships. Dow Chemical Co. scientists foresaw within the next decade nuclear engines allowing continu ous flight lor up to a year, either in the earth s atmosphere or dc yond. Peaceful benefits foreseen in eluded worldwide TV, communi cations, and weather observation from satellites.

JOHN DREW BARRYMORE LITA MILAN ROBERT BRAV SACRAMENTO UPI) Gov. Edmund G. Brown asked the Leg islature today to spend $23,382,689 to operate and develop California's network of beaches and parks. The governor submitted a budg et which suggested spending $7. 838.758 for day to day bills and $15,543,931 for site development at state parks during the fiscal year which will begin July 1. Brown's spending request was $4,301,335 less than stale fiscal ex perts estimate will be spent on the program during the current budget year. , The daily support budget for ad ministration of the park program showed an increase of $515,9(18 or 7 per cent over the 1958-59 fiscal year. But the capital outlay pro posal was $4,817,323 less than the spending estimate for this year. .Most of the construction money was earmarked for further devel opment 'for existing parks "so that the benefits from these ex penditures may be realized as quickly as practicable," the budg et document said. Money to finance the beaches and parks program will come ei ther from tidelands oil revenues or from the sale of bonds. n addition to the beaches and parks budget,' Brown proposed spending 175,407 for small craft harbors and $3.161. 63 for opera tion of the California Olympic Commission which is preparing the Squaw Valley site for the 1960 Winter Gaines. No money was budgeted lor ad ditional construction of roadside rests. A total of $12,500 was asked for maintenance of the existing fa cilities.

Thursdav afternoon's accidental shooting at Klamath Union High School provoked a two-hour, closed discussion at Monday night's reg ular meeting of the board of School District 2. Following the discus sion, which dealt not only with the single incident, but with discipli nary problems in general, board members intimated they would pursue the subject further, pos sibly at a special meeting sched uled to deal with curriculum and staff problems lor 1959-60, which was set for last evening. The board reverted to open ses sion at the conclusion of the dis cussion, and voted to suspend the 15-year-old principal in Thursday s incident from classes, "until fur ther action of the board." This further action will presumably be taken when juvenile authorities have disposed of the case. The boy was shot in the hand by the accidental discharge of a pistol he was carrying in a. notebook. Meanwhile, at a meeting of the board of School District 1, pro tests from Conger School parents who had opposed an assignment change reducing staff at the school by one teacher were granted par tial satisfaction. Instead of losing the services of one teacher as was originally proposed. Conger will give up only approximately half the time of one teacher, who will also handle classes at Riverside School. Moreover, the Conger prin cipal, James Young, will instruct a fourth grade class for two class periods a morning, so that the two fourth grade classes will remain entirely distinct. The changes had been originally proposed by the administration to compensate for low enrollment figures in two Conger classes. As was explained in an article pub lished in Sunday's Herald and News, many Conger parents felt that special circumstances Involved at that school justified the main tenance of better than standard pupil-teacher proportions there for the rest of this year. In other actions, the board of District 1: Authorized further repairs at Riverside School, where those un dertaken to bring the building into compliance with requirements set by the state fire marshal are now nearly complete. The further re pairs include ceiling plaster work and linoleum laying. Authorized architect Howard Perrin to draw up designs and specifications for construction o( a new fire escape at Riverside, in keeping with a recommendation of the fire marshal. Authorized use of Mills School auditorium by the Community Con certs Association in 1959-60, "pro vided such use does not interfere with school activities." President Andrew Loney, of the association, had informed the board that the Pelican Theater would not be available for concerts next year. Authorized the clerk of the board to negotiate with the county court in reference to eventual purchase of 10 county-owned lots which would form part of the proposed north site for a junior high school Accepted the resignations o( three teachers: Dorothy Ezcll, Janice Oberst and Sherrill Boyd the last "conditional upon finding a replacement. Decided to hold a meeting of the districts budget committee Thursday night at the high school. beginning at 7:30 o clock. Board members of School Dis trict 2 were also told that work at Klamath Union High School to bring it into conformity with the requirements of the state fire mar shal was now complete except for minor details. Principal Charles T. Carlson pre-. sented the board with figures showing an enrollment for rthe new semester, as of Monday, of 664. only two less than that of a month before. The board authorized the travel of Carlson and Paul Angstcad to a winter meeting of high school principals, to be held in Eugene, and of Francis Scapple and An drew Knudsen to an annual meet ing with former KU students, held at the Oregon State College cam pus. The board also authorized travel of an estimated 16 students to a speech fraternity conference to be held at Southern Oregon Col lege, buj deferred action on a pro posed trip by five journalism stu dents to a meeting at the Univer sity of Washington. The board de clined to grant Charles Woodhouse two days' absence from school in order to attend a professional con ference in the radio and TV field in Arizona. In other actions, the board: Granted use of Pelican Court to the Klamath Reservation Jay cees for their national invitational all-Indian basketball tournament, March 21. Granted the use of Wright Field to the Little League baseball or ganization, "on the same basis as last year." . Created a committee, to which Chairman Edward Hickman ap pointed Dr. James Noel and Mrs. Earl Sheridan, to investigate com. ditions under which the cafeteria should be made available for ban quets. This was taken in view ol requests from the Klamath Falls. Gospel Mission and the Wesleyaa' Service Guild lor use of tht school's facilities. Got into a discussion on mathe matics offerings at the school, and of curriculum and staff problems, for the coming year, which were to. be gone into at greater length at Tuesday night's special meeting,, lollowing a closed budget session of both districts with the teach-, ers' representatives. Superintendent Arnold Gralapp told the two boards that a salary, request from the school cooks had been received and was to be sub mitted at the open part of Tuesv day night's budget meeting. .
