ti.or orb.ixmM UC13PAPER SECTION Euoeasoaso , la The- Day's lews Br FRANK JENKINS How about soaring off today Into (he wild blue yonders of the fu ture? For example: Scientists expect to create tem peratures, within a year or two, that will exceed the temperatures t the center of the sun. What will that do? It will pass the first milestone in efforts to control the power un leashed by the H-Bomb. What will that mean? It will mean that there will be power enough to last BILLIONS of years. Coal must eventually be ex hausted. Petroleum must eventual ly be exhausted. Uranium must eventually be exhausted. But- A gallon of WATER contains bout one-eighth of a gram of deu terium, which should cost about four cents to extract. The energy content of this small amount. of deuterium burned in a fusion reac tor would equal approximately the energy content of 300 gallons of gasoline. At this point, two questions: What is fusion? What is fission? Fusion is the COMBINING of light atoms, such as hydrogen. Fission is the SPLITTING of heavy atoms, such as uranium. Both pro duce energy. Fusion produces MORE energy from cheaper and more abundant materials. How to turn loose this power? Well, the problem is to make a fusion reactor that will PRODUCE more power than it CONSUMES. It will take about 50 million degrees just to bring about fusion of the atoms. Scientists estimate that a fusion reactor that could produce more power than it consumes would need to operate at a temp erature well over 100 MILLION DEGREES if you can imagine anything that hot. Problem No. 2: How to create a receptacle that will withstand temperatures well over 100 million degrees? No material known to man will withstand temperatures even re motely approaching that stagger ing heat summit. So The scientists are flirting with the theory of using MAGNETIC FIELDS as walls to hold the hot hydrogen isotopes during the proc ess of fusion, i Don't ask me how. I'm no sci entist. But they are working on the theory. Some three decades ago, nobody could see how a uranium atom could be split to produce power, but the scientists managed it. . One more question: ' Will these complex problems' be solved? Nobody knows. But this much is reasonably certain: They WON'T be solved by people whose ambition is to work as LITTLE as possible and play as MUCH as possible. ' In conclusion, a grim thought: If the Russians are willing to work harder than we do, will they be the LEADERS in all this po tential advancement? If so, where will we wind up? THIEF GETS SENTENCE MIAMI (UPI) Cleamon E. Clay, 35, started a two-year pris on sentence for horse stealing to day. Clay was given the lightest sentence allowed under an old Florida law which looks on the horse thief as a bigger black guard than the car thief. 3 LEADERS AND CAPTAINS assisting with the coming Mothers March that will climax the I960 New March of Dimes fund drive met for dinner and business January 7 at the Winema Hotel.

Mrs. Rogers was born at Jack sonville, Oregon, October 8, 1885, and came to Klamath Falls in 1906. She was married April 17, 1907, to Leslie Rogers, early-day banking figure who was affiliated with the Klamath County Bank and later was with the First Na tional Bank as cashier.

Mrs. Rogers attended the First Presbyterian Church. The family home was at 1972 Fremont Street. During her adult lifetime she was interested in the progress of Klamath Falls, in the history of her native slate and efforts of the Klamath County Historical Society, She had returned only a few days bafore her death from Port land where she attended the wed ding of a granddaughter, Susan Ravizza, formerly of Chiloquin Survivors include one son, James F. Rogers, Chiloquin; two daugh ters, Mrs. Scott' (Zepha) Warren, Algoma, and Mrs. Harry (Jean) Ravizza, Portland; also seven grandchildren.

Nixon became a willing candidate for the Re publican presidential nomination Saturday. Herbert G. Klein, Nixon's press secretary, told a news conference that the vice president had been asked for permission to enter his name in the Oregon, Ohio and New Hampshire primaries. "He answered willingly that he would approve these actions," Klein said. That will be it, Klein said, as far as any formal announcement of Nixon's candidacy for a nomi nation for which he now is re garded as a shoo-in. Nixon's approval may have to be made formal in the signing of some papers later, Klein added. j Nixon himself was absent from his office, observing his 47th birth- Mild-Mannered Secretary Bungles First Holdup Job PITTSBURGH (UPI) Robert Sweeney is a mild-mannered man. He was a $120-a-week secretary. Ho has four children. Another is on the way. Sweeney has quite a number of friends. They like his soft, unas suming ways. Among those friends are two prominent mem bers of the Pittsburgh police force. One of them, Detective Sgt. Paul Ryan, said Sweeney was "a re ligious guy who was nice to everybody. Hb wouldn't do any thing wrong." At least, not until Friday. Unknown to most, if not all, of his friends was Sweeney's finan cial condition. The greying, 35- year-old Sweeney had a number of debts, including $600 in back rent. He worried about that rent debt in particular. He wanted to pay that one. .thought -my .troubles, would be over if I could just pay that debt," he said. He said he had tried a number of legal ways with no success. I Police Search NEW YORK (UPD-Police and private detectives pressed Satur day an international search for one of the season's top debutantes who disappeared, or eloped, the day after her lavish coming out party last Dec. 26. The missing girl is attractive Gamble Benedict, 18, whose late grandfather was president of the Remington Typewriter Company. Her grandmother and guardian, Mrs. Henry Harper Benedict, in formed police six days ago of the girl's disappearance but asked that her name not be put on the missing persons list. Mrs. Benedict said her grand daughter left the Harper mansion just off Fifth Avenue on Dec. 27 and has not been heard from since except for a phone call Dec. 30. She said the caller, who sounded like Miss Benedict, prom- SUNDAY, JANUARY 10, 1960 In Ring day with his family, when Klein unofficially put him into the race. Earlier in the day Nixon's name was entered in the March 8 New Hampshire primary. In Columbus, Ohio, State GOP Chairman Ray Bliss said Nixon had approved entering his name in Ohio's presidential balloting May 3. Aides said that while Nixon may visit some of the primary states, he has no present plans for cam paigning extensively in any of them. They said he has no plans now for an appearance in New Hampshire before the nation's first primary is held there. Oregon's Republican Gov. Mark Hatfield said Friday night he had been assured that Nixon would not attempt to withdraw his name from the May 20 Oregon primary after it is entered there. Friday he tried an illegal one. Sweeney robbed a savings and loan office. He bungled it com pletely. He left his office for lunch short ly after noon just as he always did. He purchased a toy gun, then stole a car from the parking lot of the building where he worked He drove to the Mt. Washington German Savings and Loan Assn. pulled a silk stocking over his head, took out his toy automatic and went in. "This is a stickup," Sweeney said to a woman teller. Then, his hand quivering slightly as it clutched the toy, he added, "Hur ry up, this is my first time. Turning to Mrs. Margaret Mil lion, another employe he said, "you, too." He took $7,528. In his haste to get out, he turned down another $3,000 "which the teller was ready to hand to him. Sweeney never made it back to his office. He was caught at 12:51 p.m. For Top Deb ised to come home for New Year's Eve. "But she didn't show," said Robert Hoffman, the Benedict at torney. "Mrs. Benedict ordered a private investigation but the find ings have been negative up to the moment. We are trying to ascer tain whether she left the United States." Police also reported that their investigation has been futile. Miss Benedict was one of the best known members of the South ampton, N.Y., younger set last summer and had attended all of the holiday festivities for debu (antes last month. Her usual escort -was a German-born commercial artist in his early 30s. Her grandmother was reported to believe that she may have eloped. "The last time I saw her was when she got into a car with three men after her debut," said the artist, Ernest Von Kalckreuth "She had many admirers and was very mature for her age though a little gullible. Anyone could tell her a story and she would believe it." Basin Relic Exhibition Recalls Unsolved Case By NORM CARDOZA A display of Fort Klamath rel ics and photographs nearly as sembled at the Klamath County Museum recalls an Interesting and unsolved mystery. Even the experts are not sure where the remains of Captain Jack and three of his notorious Modoc Indian henchmen are interred. Some say portions of their bodies are in Washington. BUT HARDLY anyone suggests that Jack and his sub-chiefs filled the graves prepared for them be fore their date with the gallows at Fort Klamath in 1873. Nonetheless, a photograph lent from the local Hal Ogle collection to the museum pictures the fresh graves of Jack, Schonchin John, Black Jim and Boston Charlie just outside the old fort grounds. A passage in "The History of Central Oregon," published in 1905 and written by a Stanford Univer sity, student doing research in the Klamath country, states: "Although these monuments (the Telephone TU 4-8111 No. 6o99 Red Papers Illustrate Rocket Area MOSCOW (AP) - Newspapers Saturday published a map showing the Pacific Ocean area where Soviet rockels will fall. They as serted the Soviet rocket tests are of a peaceful nature, whereas (he United Stales and Britain had used the same general area for nuclear weapons tests. Komsomolskaya Pravda and Soviet Fleet said (he area is far from shipping and air lanes and is only one-tenth the size of the area the United Stales closed to shipping for nuclear tests. They gave the area where the rockets are expected to fall as 43,000 square kilometers (27, 125 square miles). Actually, the United States closed about 400,000; square miles to shipping in the 1058 tests. The area is about 1,100 miles southwest of the Hawaiian Islands and a similar distance east of the Marshall Islands, the site for U.S. nuclear tests. Komsomolskaya Pravda ob served that the nearest land is the U.S. island of Palmyra, 250 miles to the east, and Johnston Island, 400 miles to the north. It noted U.S. atomic weapons missiles with atomic capability had been tested at Johnston .Island. It also noted that Christmas Island, where the British have conducted nuclear tests, , is about 500 miles to the southeast. The newspaper, organ of the Young Communist League, quolcd naval officials as saying U.S. and British rockets were fired with the idea of poisoning the air with ra dioactive fallout and that Soviet rockets are not of this type. Idaho Chief Backs Mark SUN VALLEY, Idaho (AP) I The governors of Idaho and Ore gon have joined hands in protest ing a motion picture company's plans to film the life of Nez Perce Indian Chief Joseph in the state of Washington. - Said Idaho's . Gov. Robert E. Smylie Friday: 'I certainly would loin with Gov. Hatfield in the opinion that any story of Chief Joseph should be filmed where it happened Oregon Gov. Mark Hatfield had said earlier it would be "almost sacrilegious" to make the film anywhere but in Oregon. However, Smylie added some territory by pointing out: 'Chief Josephs masterful re treat was conducted from Wal lowa County, Ore., through the Idaho counties of Lewiston, Clear water and Idaho and over a con siderable part of the geography of what is now Montana. 'Anyone wanting to make an accurate portrayal would certain ly want to do it on the scene and in the geography where those events happened." BULLETIN NEW ORLEANS (AP) For mer Gov.

This is a fact not generally known. The story of the hanging ends there. But another brand new book on sale at the museum, "The Mo- docs and Their War," has this to say: 'Friday afternoon (October 3) the coffins were lowered into graves and all six of the holes were filled with earth. THAT NIGHT someone, never identified, opened Jack's grave and put his body on a freight wag on headed for Yrcka. Since noth ing was done to preserve the corpses, (sic) haste was essential. "As soon as the wagon arrived at Yreka, Jack's body was em balmed and, in somewhat less haste, sent to Washington, D.C.

(UPI) Presi dent Gamal Abdcl Nasser Saturday pressed a button that set off ll'a tons of dynamite and started con struction of the Aswan high dam, biggest project in Egypt since the Suez Canal 100 years ago. The blast loosed 20,000 tons of rock from a formation overlook ing the Nile River. Nasser's Unit ed Arab Republic will use the dam to harness the river for hydro-electric power and irriga tion in a long-term project aimed at raising living standards of (he poverty-ridden peasants. Massive Soviet aid is making it possible. Nasser's personal popularity and enthusiasm for the project appeared to be at a peak. Cheer ing thousands packed the seven- mile route from the airport to the dam. It took Nasser's car an hour to push through. Signs and placards hailed Nas ser and his guests, King Moham med V of Morocco and former Syrian President Shukri Al Kuwat ly, as they arrived for the blast ing and foundation stone cere monies.

The first stage of the project, which includes the canal and up stream and downstream coffer dams, will be completed by the end ot 1964. It will permit the reclamation of one million acres of land and the conversion of an other 700,000 acres to year-round irrigation. The second stage, which in cludes the main dam and a hydro electric plant to produce 10 bil lion kilowatt hours annually, will take six years. It can be started as early as 1962, before comple tion of the first stage. The main dam will be 3B4 feet high, 11.462 feet long and 3,230 feet wide at the base. A road 10$ feet wide will run across the top. It will be the world's highest dam and will back up the Nile far into the Sudan for the world's largest man-made lake. The dam will increase Egypt's cultivated land by one-third, the answer, Nasser hopes, to the expanding population of the U.A.R. The lake will be 310 miles long and cover an area of 1,544 square miles. From 60,000 to 70,000 In habitants of the Wadi Haifa area of northern Sudan will have to move from towns and villages. The U.A.R. is paying the Sudan more than 42 million dollars as compensation. When the waters rise, they will cover some of the world's most famous antiquities, temples, tombs and statues which have withstood the ravages of the cen turies. Plans are being made to save some of these treasures, such as the great temples of Rameses II cut into the cliffs at Aby Sinbel.
