You have all read or heard
about the Im cable, although some
what irresponsible character. Rip
Van Winkle, from Washington Irv
ing'! writings of Sleepy Hollow.
: This gent was supposed to be a
farmer by occupation, but not too
attentive to the basics of keeping
on the job. This attitude was some
thing less than humorous to his
wife a termagant and nagging
old blister in her own right. As a
result, the old boy sought refuge
from her tirades by slipping olf
to the quiet of the Catskills to med
itate and breath the air of mom
entary freedom from Dame Van
Winkle. One alternoon while on
such absence from reality, Rip
came upon some strange fellows
bowling In these Catskills. Quench
ing their thirst from the exer
tions of the game, these little men
offered Ri'p a tankard of liquid
from the flagon in their posses
sion. The results you are all aware
of; Rip partook of the liquid and
fell into a sleep that lasted 20
years.
What docs this analogy have to
do with the reality of the 20th
Century, you might well ask. Let
me for the moment bring a per
sonal note to this theme. At one
time in my life, military duty was
my every day modus operandi.
Since separation from military
duty, it has been my avocation to
keep up with some of the activi
ties of the military through read
ing and contact. I felt fairly well
conversant with up-to-date military
affairs. But what I was about to
see made me feel much the same
as our friend Rip Van Winkle upon
his awakening.
On June 14, it was my extreme
pleasure to be a participaling
guest of the Air Force in the

most memorable jaunt of my life.
Coming as a complete surprise,
a party of 12 men from the
Klamath Basin were chosen to at
tend an intense "brieling" on how
the defense system of these United
States functions. What did we
see? What were we told? What
are my personal reactions? Well,
let's take a look-see and try to
reconstruct some jf the highlights.
So much was crammed into those
days we were away, that it al
ready has the tone of a mirage.
On June 15. we were escorted i
into the conference room of Gen.
J. H. Atkinson, commanding gen
eral. Air Defense Command. The
first man to give the word of
welcome and "keynote" our mis
sion was Brig. Gen. Paul W. ScheU
decker, comptroller of the Air. De
fense Command. He opened his
remarks by making a comparison
between his current $23 home tele
phone bill and the 40 million dol
lar tab picked up by Uncle Sam
last year for its communication
bill in air defense. He went on to
point out that a P-51 fighter of
World War II cost $30,000. Its
counterpart today, the F-101-B
Mhe type stationed at Kingsley
Field for use by the 322nd Fighter
Squadron) costs $1.6 million each.

Surgery Of Siamese Twins
Hinges On Liver, Say MDs
PORTLAND (API - A Univer-,
sity of Oregon Medical School
spokesman said Wednesday that
surgical separation of the Stubble-1
lield Siamese twins hinges on the
liver.
Doctors at the school are study
ing the twins to decide whether
they can be cut apart.
The girls were born three days
ago to an Idaho farm couple, Mr.
and Mrs. James Stubblclicld.
"So fnr preliminary examina
tions indicate the twins have sep
arate hearts certainly in their
favor lor surgical operation," a
statement issued hy Joseph J.
Adams, medical school public af
lairs director, said.
"X-rays show separate gastro
intestinal tracts, hut until con
trast studies are made this will
not be known tor certain.
"The organ most in question is
Ihe liver. At present there is a
strong possibility that Ihe twins
have a common liver. However,
if each twin has a separate cir
culation system within, the liver,
it is possible to sever Ihe tissue
and thereby give each twin an
adequate liver.
wne'ncr or not oilier organs
are shared by Ihe twins is not
known," the statement continued.
What if the twins do not have
separate circulation systems with
in the liver, 'Adams was asked.
He said that was a grave ques
tionone he was not prepared to
discuss now.
Even if an operation is feasible,
he said, it may be several weeks
away.
"Although the twins have reg
istered some weight loss since
birth, a perfectly normal condi
tion in the newborn, early indi
cations are that there is nothing
lunclionally wrong with either,"
the statement said.
"The risk of performing sur-
. gory on a newborn infant is great
er than ,it is several weeks later,
when Ihe inlant begins to go on
a regular feeding schedule and
starts to gain weight.
"For this reason we are watch
ing and waiting and are continu
such as the Falcon, we are shoot
ing the cost of a new Cadillac! In
other words, using these meager
and quick examples for compari
sons, the national defense budget
and spending today is big, with
capital "B"!
The next briefing officer stated
that we are constantly on this mat
ter of survival. The basic threat
today is still the same attempted
world domination by the Commu
nists. When one realizes that the

been a deterrent to war. the fact
remains today that our striking
force and that of the Soviets is
about in balance. The very real
threat of the 1CBM (Interconti
nental Ballistic Missile! against
which we have no present de
fense is in itself frightening. How
ever, it is comforting to note that
real progress has been made by
the welding together of the dt
fense system of Canada and the
United States. This combination of
systems is called NORAD, oi
North American Defense Com
mand. For the first time, we have
under one command the entire de
fense program of North America
from the Mexican border to the
bis psoplb axs ...they-

ing with X-ray studies to deter
mine what organs, if any, arc
shared with the infants."
The twins, joined in the ab
domen, face to face, weighed !)
pounds, 10 ounces at birth. They
were brought here by. plane and
taken to the medical school's
Doernbecher Memorial Hospital.
Adams said the infants were
eating well and apparently are in
fine health.
Stubhlcficld, 25, the father, op
crates a sugar beet farm at Par
ma, Idaho, across the Snake Riv
er from Oregon. The mother, 24,
gave birth to the twins in a Nyssa,
Ore., hospital Monday. The Stub
hlefields have three other chil

ei ecuveness as a ouierreni. as
effectiveness as a deterrent. As
an aside, the new Hercules
missile which is now operational
is expected to cover the entire
range which might possibly be in
vaded by an aggressor.
We had an explanation of how
these missiles are launched; how
the radar and computer work as
a team in "locking on" to a tar
get and then proceed to destroy
such a target. Just to show the
rapidly increasing effectiveness
of these rockets, it might be said
that in 1955, only 59.4 per cent of
the rockets fired were considered
successful shots. This increased to
79.9 per cent in 1958, and the re
cent computations are that it is
over 80 per cent effective! One
had better be well identified be
cause these heartless creatures
with an electronic brain couldn't
care less what badge you are
wearing once the panic button is
slammed on!
After two hours of verbal and
visual explanations of the mission
of defense, audi the "hardware"
that is used in discharging its re
sponsibilities, we were taken to
the block house which contains the
Combat Operations Center. Here
on a lighted, transparent board
is an outline of the North Ameri
can Continent and the boundaries
at sea which comes under its con
trol. Information on every incoming
aircraft is identified. Should some
aircraft invade this boundary on
the sea or above it without identi
fication, defense aircraft from
one or more of a number of
commands is sent aloft "to do just
that. This information is filtered
back to the individual Air Division
and forwarded to the COC head-i
quarters. A tactical decision is
made at that time by Battle Com
mander on whether defensive ac
tion is to be taken. Sounds compli
cated, and it is, but it only takes
matter of minutes from the
most remote control center to
NORAD. With open telephone
lines, you begin to fit in the bill
at this point for this one facet of
the operation.
At any rate, for our benefit, a
theoretical attack problem was
winked out while we sat in this
amphitheater. We saw how an
unidentified squadron of bombers
started down the wastes of northern
Canada. Then the manner in which
fighters were "scrambled" to make
an identification. When it was
found this identification was un-
friendly, an interception was made
at several points on this tracking
run. Finally several of the attack
ers were shot down and the bal
ance was turned away. Obviously,
the minute detailing of this prob
lem has not been included in re
lating this story, but the teatn;
work and coordination that is man
datory to a fault is utterly fan
taslic.
To those skeptics who might
think this a waste of time playing
kid games, one can only say "he
is bill with tolly while his enemies
plan his murder." This system of
fact-gathering and decision-mak
ing is most impressive. Yet, action
is being taken in which the
present method is to be abolished
in favor of a new and even more
elleclive system.
SAGE (not something with which
to flavor the gourmet's dish) is
the new glamour child of delense.
Semi-Automatic Ground Environ
ment is Ihe stretched out word of
SAGE. What is it? Why, it is a
digital computer of course! Gath
ers all this data, plots the course
of defense and gives the battle
commander his choice of attack
and an alternate or two. You see,
we can no longer wait lor the
human to do all this in his own
realm of activity, then, relay the
inlormation along Takes too long.
And there is Ihe possible chance
of human error. Neither of these
luxuries can we afford.

The project is a Copco service
center located off Highway 97
south of the city limits, adjacent
to Copco's big substation. Con
struclion includes a garage with
mezzanine iloor covering nearly
4,3lifl square feet of ground area
a 14.000 square foot warehouse,
a 12,750 square foot truck storage
shed, pole yard, transformer house
and utilities. Buildings are to be
concrete with trussed roofs, ce
ment slab floors, asbestos shin
cjos, overhead doors, acoustical
tile, and mechanical and electrical
wmk arc included in the contract.
Ritchry said the rock and grad
ing of the site was done last
year. Black-topping of the area
between the buildings is being de
terred until next year. Plans call
for improvement of the office fa
cilities at the site, probably next
year.
Plans and specifications were
drawn by the architect and engi
neering department at Copco's
Medford headquarters with T. R.
Lytle supervising. Completion date
is set for November 1.
The Great Northern Railway
Company has started work on a
spur into the site, a distance of
nearly one-fourth of a mile.
Mo Trace
Found Of Man
KLORENCK, Ore. AP The
search has been abandoned for
an elderly man who walked into
the woods to pick berries and
never returned.
Sheriff's deputy James Clark
said the search by more than 100
men had produced no trace of Al
bert Straight, and was halted
Wednesday.
Straight disappeared into
brushy, logged over land after
etting out from his home a few
miles from this coastal town Mon
day afternoon.
AirpUnes and bloodhounds also
were used in the search, but with
out avail.
The bloodhounds repeatedly fol
lowed a trail past an abandoned
sawmill, but each time apparently
lost Ihe scent at a wall of thick
brush.
Straight vanished in the same
area where another elderly man
William Holesapple, disappeared
in M57. Holesapple never was
found.
Space Clock
To Test Idea
LOS AMiELES (API A space
clock, accurate within one second
in 1.IXM) years, is being built to
test Einstein's theory of rclativi
ty.
Ihe clock is designed for an
orbiting satellite. Whirling around
the earth, it will be compared
with a similar clock on the
ground.
By comparing the two clocks
performances by radic, theories
on relativity can be tested, ac
cording to Dr. Harold Lyons, head
of the Hughes Aircraft atomic
physics department directing the
project.
Lyons said the space clock
should run slow compared with
the ground clock for orbits below
2.000 miles and fast above 2.000
miles.
The launching of a clock sale!
lite is expected to be several
years off.
