PAGE 8 A HERALD AND NEWS, Klamath Falls, Ore. Sunday, November 1. 10o9 Astronauts Set For Trip, Says. Medico HOME (I'PD A leading Amer ican space doclor said today any one of the seven U.S. astronauts can take olf for outer space "to morrow" providing a space ve hicle is ready. Dr. Siegfried J. Gcrathewohl made the statement in comment ing on a Itussian scientist's re mark Thursday that a Russian row is ready to be launched into tpace. "We have a man ready, too," said Geralhcwohl. "In fact, seven of them. Any one of our astro l.auts could be sent up tomorrow on sub-orbital or short, orbital flights if the vehicle were ready." Gcrathewohl, of the bio-astro nautic research oflice, U.S. Army Ballistic Missile Ageucy, defined "short orbital flights" as those in volving "one or two orbits around the earth, (or a few hours in ipace." Gcrathewohl would not say whether he thought the United States would beat Russia in the space race but he said "I think it won't be very long before they launch their first man into space.' The American scientist com mented that "It is very often said that t lie medical people are be hind the engineers in space travel, but I doubt that." "We know today what man can stand in space," he said. "Now it is up to the engineers to pro vide systems under which man can survive."- Gcrathewohl interrupted a paper he was delivering to the World Congress of Aviation and Space Medicine to challenge Soviet sci entists to lake part in a freer exchange of information on space research. He said the Russians had sup plied data on some high-flying rocket experiments with animals that stayed up only a few min utes, but had withheld information Oil Laika, the dog that stayed aloft in Sputnik II "for hours." "The data on Laika, which wo still do not have, is very important to us all," Gcrathewohl said. IMPRESSIVE DEBUT CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP The Air Force's new Macc-B guided missile has made what of ficials called an impressive debut at the Cape by succcsstully flying a l.ono-mile course at speeds up to 6.")0 miles an hour.

IUPH-A pret ty brunette found Thursday nighl that the pen was mightier than the parking ticket. . Barbara lialloran, 25, was fount innocent of illegally parking hei small foreign car on a sidewall Oct. 16. The ticket she found on the cai spurred her to write a spirited letter to police chief Joseph Weldon. In the letter, reprinted in local newspapers, she contended that pranksters had lilted her little car half on a high curb and the police then compounded the injury by ticketing the car. Magistrate Joseph K. Walsh told Miss lialloran, a public rela tions worker in Elizabeth, N.J., that she was "quite a writer." He said her letter had been read by many, "including the court," adding, "it is only in America that a person could feel he had been wronged and have it corrected as you have had to night." Said Miss lialloran: "The mag istrate has a lovely smile." Walsh, however, told Patrolman William Davis he had been right in issuing the ticket and lellin the court decide the facts. 2 Indicted For Murder PENDLETON, Ore.

New Thrust By Reds Seen NEW DELHI (UPI) - The Chinese Communists have extend ed their checkposts over a wider area of the Ladakh section of the Indian state of Jammu and Kash mir, reports from the frontier said today.

Unofficial reports said the Chi nese were not only continuing their "incursions" of troops across border areas but also vio lating Indian air space. The Chinese were also report ed to have warned Indian out posts at Khinzamane to withdraw, on the ground that this area north of the traditional Mc.Mahon Line border belongs to China. The Chinese were said to have spread their checkposts in north east and northwest directions Irom Ladakh, scene of a clash Oct. 21 between Chinese troops and Indian police in which nine Indians were killed.

Ex-Union Boss Raps Newspaper SEATTLE AP) - "It was good honest labor," Seattle's best known parking lot attendant said Thursday. "I was doing pretty good 'til the papers found out about it." Dave Beck. 65, onetime Team sters' Union chief, was explaining that he was retiring from person al operation of his downtown parking lot. Too much publicity, he said, and too many curious people. "People weren't buying parking' tickets. They were just dropping by to talk," Beck said. Operation of the lot, located across the street from Beck's for mer Teamsters' headquarters, has been turned over to friend, Beck said. Oral Vaccine Risks Great CHICAGO (UPI) More tests must be made before oral, live virus polio vaccine can be con sidered safe, three Baylor Univer sity researchers said today. . They said the risks of the oral vaccine "appear to be greater than expected." Vaccines made from the live polio viruses have been given to children all over the world. It was administered by Dr. Albert Sabin, a University of Cincinnati scientist who developed the vac cine. The researchers, Di s. Joseph L. Mclnick, Matilda Bcnyesh-Mel-nick and James C. Brennan, said caution should be the watchword in using the vaccine. They wrote in the current jour nal of the American Medical As sociation that the safety of the accine has not been definitely proved. Safety tests performed in a number of different laboratories are in "serious disagreement" bout the degree of strength of the viruses, they said. "We do not imply that we have proved that such strains are dan gerous either for the vaccinated child or for the community, but we wish to emphasize that the risks appear to be greater than had been suspected and that much more knowledge must be obtained" before the vaccine can be considered safe, they said. People Read SPOT ADS you are Dancing Light Said Mystery WASHINGTON (UPI) -zlcd scientists sought an explana tion today for the mysteriou "dancing lights" reflected from the giant space balloon launched Wednesday evening at Wallops Is land, Va. They had expected the alumi num-coated balloon, big as a 10 story building, to glow brightly a it caught the rays of the setting sun. . But- they were completely un prepared, said a spokesman loi the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA1, for what they actually saw. This has been variously de scribed by competent observers as dancing lights, scintillations, shooting sparks, and flashing beams reminiscent of twinkling Christmas tree lights. "It was, an entirely unexpected phenomenon," the NASA spokes man said, "and the scientists are hunting for an explanation." The big balloon, crumpled into a 30-inch container, was rocketed into space 250 miles above the At lantic off NASA's Wallops Island station to test mechanisms for ejecting it from the container and inflating it to its full 100-foot size. The test, pronounced a com plete success, paves the way for an attempt in the next few months to launch an identical bal loon at Cape Canaveral, Kla., into a satellite orbit around the earth. Such a satellite, scientists say, should make an ideal reflector for use in long-distance radio com munications. IKE VISIT DIM WASHINGTON (UPI) Pros pects that President Eisenhower will accept an invitation to visit New Zealand appear dim. New Zealand Prime Minister Walter Nash asked Eisenhower to visit his country at a White House meeting Wednesday. But Nash said that he realized the great demands on the President's time and that New Zealand would not urge such an invitation if Ei senhower felt he should not go. V. - ! i.'

Porter EUGENE (AP)-Rep. Charles Porter (D-Oie) said Thursday while he makes no apologies for his past stand in favor of Fidel Castro, the present anti-United States activities of Castro worry him. "This is no surprise to me," said Porter, who also told of a recent letter he sent Castro urging him to hold free elections soon. "So far 1 have had no answer," Porter said. "I told him that he must call elections to get a legiti mate, organized opposition." The current popular strongman and revolutionary hero re-introduced military tribunals and fir ing squads for counter-revolutionaries. "I don't know," he said when asked if Cuban affairs could be straightened out with Castro call ing the shots. "It looks black."
