David E. Milne. San Diego, Calif., said he built the device from surplus parts and hardware store items In 2'i years. He con ceived It for his younger brother, Steve, "who can't see too well." The young scientist is one of 37 future engineers exhibiting at the Show and Convention (WES CON) at the Cow Palace. His "brain" consists of an an elent portable typewriter, a home made computer and a translator he made by adapting a punch sys tem to an electric feeder. Engi neers said it was the only auto matic brailler known.

But Mrs. Bjoerg Faerselh-Node-land, who runs the restaurant, the "Klubben," where the reception will be held, has been told to pro vide the best menus and wines she can and hang the expenses. By coincidence, considering Gov ernor Rockefeller's presumed po litical ambitions, the "Klubben" is known locally as "the white house." Tourisls were ollering up to S1.M today for guaranteed admis sion to the Lutheran church where 21-year-old Anne Marie and 23- year-old Steve will make their vows. Rut the Rockefeller and Rasmussen families have agreed on a plan to thwart uninvited guests. There are no admission cards. All guests have been invited per sonally. Controllers at the door will know everyone of the 180 in viled guests and relatives by sight. No one else will get in. This has caused a bit of grum bling in this easy-going country where churches are rarely closed unless they are filled to capacity The church holds 700 persons and while respecting ' the couple's wishes for a quiet ceremony townsfolk feel it is a pity so many seals should go unused. The family argument that these are just two young people in love is not taken seriously. Norwegians consider the wedding of the blonde buxom beauty and the multi-millionaire's son as the most exciting marriage since King Olav's nuptials 30 years ago Wagon Boss Eyes Europe PORTLAND (API A proposal lo send a wagon train similar to the Oregon Centennial wagon train on a trek across Europe came Tuesday from Tex Serpa the Oregon caravan's wagon master. "The trip," said Serpa,, an Ash land rancher, "would win Amer ica an awful lot of friends abroad and would show a side of Amer ica that most Europeans never dreamed exists. "It would promote International understanding and give this coun try a chance to show off some solid citizens cut from the old pio neer mold," he said. Serpa, who led Oregon's seven covered wagons more thani 2,000 miles from Independence, Mo., to Independence, Ore., proposed t h e trip start in Spain. He said it could head across Europe "as far as we can go, even into and across Russia if they'll let us." Admitting it might be difficult to get the needed financial back ing, Serpa said: "1 don't think I'll give up on the idea until we have tried lo find some help."

' For 100 years the Pit River In dians have been trying to assert a claim against the United States compensation. In 1025 Congress passed an act allowing Indian tribes who had entered into treaties with the United States to recover under treaties even though the treaties were not ratified by Con gress. However, the Pit River In dians had never entered into a treaty with Ihe United States and, therefore, were not entitled to file an action under this act. In 11)45, the Congress passed (he Indian Claims Act which set up a court consisting of three commis sioners to hear and determine the Senate Ayes Housing Bill WASHINGTON (AP)-A thump ing 71-24 Senate vote for a new $1,050,000,0(10 housing bill gave its sponsors encouragement today that the legislation finally would become law. Bolh the final passage tally and (he 6H-27 margin by which the Senate refused to .send the meas ure back to its Banking Commit tee were well beyond (he two- thirds needed to beat another housing veto. Indications were, however, that final congressional action on the bill would not come promptly. The measure now goes to the House. ' Congressmen there who handle housing said privately it had been decided to steer 'the bill into the usual committee chan nels. Leaders have dropped an earlier plan to take the bill up quickly without sending it to com mittee. There was speculation Ihe meas ure might be sent to President Eisenhower in the closing days of ihe session on a takc-il-or-leave-it basis. - ,. The bill carries aiilhoiizations for some new government-financed housing programs as well as for others which are oul of funds. It also includes various liberaliza tions of the FHA mortgage In suiance program designed to help private industry.

MENACE" they STRETCH V complaints of the Indians who claimed that their lands were taken by the government without com pensation. In 1951 the Indians filed their ac tion, but nothing was done toward the prosecution af the action until 1956, at which time the Pit River Indian Tribe engaged the legal services of Charles Lederer of Al- turas, and Louis L. Phelps of the firm of Dunne, Dunne and Phelps of San Francisco, whose contract of employment was approved by the United States Government in W56. The case was tried in Washing ton, D.C., in December, 1957, be fore the Indian Claims Commission Court, at which trial hundreds of exhibits were introduced into evi dence in support of Ihe Pit River Indians claim. After the trial sev eral court appearances were made in Washington, D.C., in connection with various motions made by ihe government and the case was final ly argued and submitted on writ ten briefs in the spring of 1959. In its decision, the court held: "That the Pit River Indians of California are an identifiable group of American Indians and en titled to prosecute this action be fore the commission; that the Pit River Indians are comprised of eleven autonomous groups or bands; that said groups or bands are the land-owning, land-holding units of the Pit River Indians and that each group or band held ori ginal Indian title to a separate tract of land as is described in Finding of Fact No. 25; that each said eleven bands or groups of Pit River Indians were each de prived of their land title by the defendant (United Stales Govern ment) on March 3, 1853, without compensation having been paid therefor; and that each is there fore entitled to compensation for the value of said land. ' "It Is Therefore Ordered, That delendant's motion for dismissal of the amended First and Supplement al Petition be and it is hereby denied, and evidence will now be received looking (o a determina tion of ihe acreage within each of the eleven separate tracts of land and the value of said lands as of March 3, 1853, together with the amount of offsets, if any, which the defendant may be entitled to credit against the same." Lederer stales that he and Phelps contemplate leaving f o r Washington, D.C., in the early part of September for Ihe purpose of preparing evidence for the hearing to establish the valuation of the lands. Lederer slated that he has not as yet attempted lo compute the acreage in the area (or which Ihe Pit River Indians will receive com pensation, but from a cursory ex amination of the description in the findings as found by the court il appears to be between four and five million acres of land which were found to have been taken from the Pit River Indians without compensation. The lands are locat ed in the counties of Modoc, Las sen. Siskiyou and Shasta. Klamath rails.

By M.Sct. CHARLES J. BENNETT Sonic Booms nuisance or neces sity? Nuisance, say many household ers who have been awakened from sleep and have seen dishes dance on cupboard shelves because of the thunderous roar of a sonic boom. Necessity, say Air Force officials whose mission is to defend Ameri ca from attack. Roth viewpoints, actually, are correct. Sonic booms are a nui sance, but America's freedom would be in jeopardy if they were never heard again. The Air Force is charged with the tremendous task of providing aerial protection to this country and insuring continued freedom in consonance with our American way of life. To carry out this task, we must maintain a ready combat capabili ty in the most superior air vehicles technology can provide. More and more supersonic aircraft are en tering the operational inventory of the Air Force. These aircraft, ca pable of supersonic speeds in all flight altitudes, are creating an increasing number of sonic booms all over the country. This pheno menon, occurring without warning, produces a startling, explosive sound which causes the public to become increasingly aware of Air Force operations. Responsive to the public which It defends, the Air Force continuous ly attempts to carry out its. mis sions with the least possible dis turbance to the people. However, the world's best Air Force can not be maintained if its pilots must fly all missions at sub-sonic speeds and then someday, when the chips are down, fly their air craft on actual missions for the first time at supersonic speeds. Some of the sonic booms creat ed by supersonic aircraft will be lO.times louder than (hunder. The loudest thunderclap recorded gen erated a pressure of around one- Oregon Weather .

And when people hear a noise that loud they immediately begin looking (or damage broken windows, cracked plaster, shattered bric-a-brac. In tests, where airplanes have dived from 36.000 feet and pulled out at 25,000 feet scientists have measured pressure no greater than five pounds per square foot on the ground. Even when the aircraft descends to 10.000 feet before pull ing out of its diva the recorded pressure did not reach 10 pounds per square foot. Rarely are faster- than-sound operations carried out at altitudes lower than 20.000 feet. This would mean that sonic boom pressures no greater than five pounds per square, foot are expect ed to be felt on the ground. Scientists and engineers observ ing the effects of shock waves gen erated by atomic explosions have never observed structural damage to the flimsiest of test structures at pressures less than 70 pounds per square foot. Applying simple arithmetic, this is 65 pounds more than the pressure normally ob served from a sonic boom. Segregationists Opposed By Little Rock Board LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP)-The Little Rock Board of Directors Tuesday aligned itself against the segregationist position after al most two years of unyielding neu trality in the integration struggle here. The board said it could find no basis for segregationists charges that police used brutality and vio lated a constitutional right of peaceful assembly when they squelched an anti integration demonstration Wednesday at Cen tral High School. The seven-member board said it felt officers acted legally to main tain order and protect life and property. It referred complaints filed by two women segregation ists to the U.S. Justice Depart ment as the proper authority to probe alleged violations of civil rights. Previously, the board had re fused to involve itself in any man ner with the integration issue. But it drew segregationist criticism for ordering police to maintain or der when schools opened. The Rev. Wesley Pruden, chap lain of the Capital Citizens Coun cil, retorted that the Justice De partment was in league with city police and that agents of the Fed eral ' Bureau of Investigation donned police uniforms and helped repel demonstrators.. An FBI spokesman at Washing Ion said he would not dignify Pru den's statement with a reply. 1 Four Negroes attended two Weather Table United Press International High Low Rain Albuquerque 83 62 .34 Atlanta 90 69 Bakersfield 86 61 Boise 84 58 .01 Boston . 90 71 Brownsville 94 77 Chicago . ; 78 67 Denver . 97 63 Detroit ' 85 64 Fairbanks 69 54 .15 Fort Worth 98 Fresno 85 57 Helena 78 35 .05 Kansas City 94 77 Los Angeles 78 64 Miami 87 81 .01 Minneapolis 92 74 New Orleans 91 76 New York 85 72 Oakland 63 56 Oklahoma City 80 71 .03 Phoenix 93 79 , Pittsburgh 87 58 Red Bluff 82 55 Reno 84 52 Sacramento 75 54 Salt Lake City 80 58 T.
