PAGE 4 A Expert On Navigation Designs New Instrument To Aid Early Spacemen ANNAPOLIS. Md. IAP) - When n early rocket pilot tries to de cide where he is in space, he may get his answer from a transparent plastic hemisphere about the site of half a basketball.

Combined with known positions of the stars, it provides a three-dimensional fix in space. The major tool involved is a clear plastic hemisphere with a licld of navigational stars engrav ed in positions corresponding to their actual locations in the heav ens. It also is marked with con centric circles placed In show dis tances in nautical miles from the earth. The first operation is to lind latitude and longitude. Looking at the earth and its backdrop of stars, Ihe space navigator picks out two navigational stars and then orients his globe until he matches the same stars on his globe with their selected counter parts in space. He can read his laliludo north or south directly from a grid and quickly compute his longi tudecast or west position by picking off a navigational compo nent known as sidereal hour angle and adding lo it Ihe Greenwich hour angle of Aries. This latter value is pre-compuled for given times in the Air Almanac, which Weems designed in the lulffls lo speed up celestial navigation from airplanes. These two dimensions will tell him what point on earth he was above when he made the obser- vat ion To get Ihe third dimension nec essary for a navigational (ix in space, Ihe navigator quickly aims Ihe plastic half-globe al Ihe center of the earth and notes which of the ' u ' .? " " ' , . is from earth, Ihe smaller it will appear. Capl. Weems and his associates in the Weems system of naviga tion here have developed the de vice over the past six months. "We know Ihe position of the stars for any given lime, and be cause of their vast distances from us these positions are not going o chance in space." he says. "We also know the diameter of Ihe earth. With this informal ion we can proceed to direct observations from Ihe space vehicle (o deter mine a three-dimensional posi tion." Capl. Weems concedes there may be some loss of accuracy in herent in visual observations but says the vastness of space shrinks the importance of Ihe error. "For Ihe purpose intended, speed and simplicity are more important than pinpoint accura cy, he says. He considers Ihe light weight of the device fwo or three pounds lo be of vital importance since an estimated 1,000 pounds of thrust is required to lift one pound Lhrough the earth's atmosphere. Weems says the earth is a prac tical reference point for space navigation because all nf our early operations will begin and terminate here. And any space ob ject olher than the moon is pro bably loo far off in distance lo be reached until technical knowledge advances much farther. "Lei's not kid ourselves," he says. "The moon is only a hop. skip and jump away in terms of miles.

We now know that some of these mistakes were tragic. Among other things, Ihcy laid the foundation for the present mess in West Berlin. But it's high ly doubtful if Mr. Bohlen influ enced rrcsident Hoosevelt very much at these meetings. F.ven Churchill wasn't able In influence FDR at Tehran and Yalta. Bohlen wasn't in the decision making echelon at either place He was just a consulting expert. But Ihe fact that he was on FDR's consulting staff on these occasions doesn't sit well with Republican senators of the type of Bridges and Dirksen, who are suspicious perhaps with reason I of every body who had anything In do with the Roosevelt administration. Let's put it this way: Mr. Bohlen is an accepted ex pert on Russian affairs. He got his knowledge the hard way. The knowledge nf Russia and Russians that he has obtained can be very valuable to us. We shouldn't waste it. . There should be no politics in foreign affairs. Career Ends . For Newsman WASHINGTON (AP) - Eugene Meyer, who took over a bankrupt newspaper and built it into one of the nation's finest, Is dead at 83. Meyer bought the Washington Post for M25.0O0 in 19.1.1 at a time when many men would be think ing of retiring. At 57, he had be hind him a successful career as a banker and long service in im portant government posts under every president since Woodrow Wilson. The Post was in receivership. It was in the depth of the depres sion. Circulation was down to OO.IXKI. Meyer was a Republican. Rut lie announced in a front page statement that the Pnst would be fair and unbiased in its news columns and that its editorial page would be strictly independ ent, i Under his direction the : Post .slowly gained back readers and influence. By 1054 circulation was near 200.000. Then the Post bought the Times Herald, Washington's other morning newspaper. It now lias a daily circulation nf 393.000 and a Sunday circulation of more than 446,000. Meyer died Friday at George Washington University hospital of cancer and a heart ailment. Hearing Slated In Check Case Preliminary hearing is sched uled Wednesday for W. R. Chum- ley, 35, Kingsley Field, accused of passing a worthless $12 check at Market Basket No. 1 on July 10.. Chumley was arraigned before District Judge Pro Tern P. K. Puck- el! frtday.

Now some nf them are threatening to oust President Arturo Frondizi and his constitutional government Frondizi has shuffled his cabi net, fired his war secretary and made other changes in his govern ment to appease the rebellious military. For ihe present the pres ident seems lo he winning his bat lie to stay in office hut high rank ng officers are still saying only Frondizi's resignation will avert a coup d'etat Why are they anxious, to de stroy Ihe constitutional govern ment they fought so hard to es tablish? Foremost among the reasons is what they regard as coddling of Peron's followers during most of H rrindr.i s 14 months in nflice. Lack of a firm hand at the rud- Jer has also annoyed the mili lary. Economic difficulties are not ol Frondizi's making. However, many contend the president has not provided strong leadership. His military critics do not oppose Frondizi's program to put Argen tina on its feet but say his execu tion of Ihe plan is so erratic the country is drifting into chaos. Foremost among Ihe rebellious group are violent anti-Peron offi cers, called gorillas by their opponents. . Frondizi had some harsh things o say about them in campaign peeches when he was wooing Peronisla voles. Because of the economic plight of the nation the "gorillas" have been able to rally support in the armed forces to their view that Frondizi must go. Some of the agitating among the military is probably being done by those seeking power for the sake of power alone. A good part of the restlessness in the armed forces comes from a sim ple squabble of different groups in the military each wanting its men in charge. The rebellious group got fresh ammunition when Peron released d document covering an alleged agreement with Frondizi. The ad ministration called this a forgery. The paper detailed a preelection deal whereby Frondizi would gel votes from Peron's followers in exchange for concessions In the Peronislas after he was elected. Obituaries BRASHER c...i'i n . n l. .

HE MEANT IT A3 A jCKfc, OUT Wt DICMT SEE IT THAT WAY, armed forces. Several provisional governors, who can not be con trolled by the national govern ment, have acted irresponsioly, for example expropriating lnr-cign-owned property and with holding basic products of (heir provinces from Ihe nation during price disputes. A host of second rank administration spots went to politicians with Peronisla and even Communist leanings. Gov ernment purchasing scandals have been charged. The government moved lo aid Ihe economy by bringing in for eign nil companies, mostly North American, to develop the nation's long faltering petroleum produc tion. It attempted lo put govern ment run agencies on a paying basis by raising rates. It Ireed the peso from an artificial rate to seek its own level. It obtained large scale loans from the United Stales and international agencies. At Ihe same time, Ihe adminis tration vacillated on labor poli cies. It announced bureaucracy would be trimmed, then figures came to light showing there were 5.000 more workers in the govern ment than ever before. Constant labor troubles have, re duced national production and kept Ihe government from mak ing headway with its economic program. Frondizi relies on his skill as a master politician to appease first one group, then another. In one way or another he has alienated elements nf his own party, the armed forces, the Peronislas, the Communists, the housewives, la bor and big business. . During his' latest, struggle Fron dizi has mane the most conces sions yet to the armed forces. He nas put in a new economy min ister, Argentina's foremost expo nent of free enterprise, with com plete control of the economy. The new economy minister also is act ing labor minister. Frondizi has finally accepted re signations from a host of officials objectionable lo thev military. The situation is slill tense but the pres ident may he given a respite to see if this time his economic pro gram will he pushed energetically and if those with Peronista lean ings have really been purged.

Seed Growers Meet Monday TULELAKE Frank Howard, di rector of Calapproved Seed Grow ers Association, announced a meet ing has been scheduled for seed glowers in Northern California at the Sportsman's Hotel, Tulelake, .Monday, July 20, starling at 8 p.m. tDSTi. E. Vander Meulen, manager, will discuss in detail a new marketing program with Calapproved has ini tiated with several of Ihe Midwest cooperatives. This past year Al sike grower members of Calap proved received approximately $4 per cwl. more for their seed than average sales of Ihe slate. This was made possible by reducing the normal service margins of the seed trade and the savings being reflect ed In Ihe Alsike growers. Howard reports thai Calapproved handled over one half million pounds of Alsike clover this pasl season which represented nearly 50 per cent of the total state pro duction. He said the new market ing program is a real benefit to the Alsike growers, who in recent years have been confronted with low returns for their sepd crop. Ed Seus, field representative for Calapproved, will be in a position to discuss all the services of the as sociation and the advantages of cooperative marketing. Kenneth Baghott, farm adviser Tulelake. will discuss in detail Ihe possibilities of grass seed produc tion of improved strains which have been developed in recent years. All growers are urged lo attend this special meeting lo obtain up- to-date production and marketing information. 2 Jobs Open For Teachers L A K E VIE W Teaching positions in the Lakeview schools for Ihe coming year have been filled with just two exceptions, according lo H.

Next Tuesday a moderately laii. slim 21-year-old girl, with large compelling dark-blue eyes and a shock of shoulder-length goioen hair, will step off a plane in the movie capital In seek a screen career as her father did almost i years ago. She is Jane Fonda, daughter ot Henry. You can't mistake her: has features just like her dad's. Hollywood, of course, is no strange place lo Jane, sue was horn there and lived there until she was 10, when her father re- urned to the East to resume his stage career after World War II. And she has visited there in re cent years. But now she is returning as an actress, leading lady of "The Way the Ball Bounces." which Joshua Logan will produce and direct for Warner Bros, release. This is last season s Broadway stage comedy about college basketball and ro mance. "Tall Story." It's her first film role. Although her acting experience has been limited.

Reedcr of the accidental death some time ago of George Dickerson, 70, former longtime res ident of this area. A medical officer in World War I. , Dickerson was wounded in France and upon his physician's orders, led an outdoor life upon his return. For many years he was employed by the Jack O'Connor sheep operation, working in Ore gon and during winters supervising some nf Ihe operations in Califor nia. He also lived for many years in the Silver Lake area of north Lake County. His war injury had impaired his hearing and he was killed when he drove his car onto Ihe tracks of an oncoming train in central California. It was thought he had not heard Ihe train's whistle as it approached the crossing. Rites Held For Yrekan YREKA Funeral services were held for Charles Edward Johnson, 85, at 2 p.m. Friday.
