HERALD AND NEWS, Klamath Falls, Ore. Monday, January 25, PAGE SEVEN Science Talks Midget Motor NEW YORK (AP)-A new Tom Thumb rocket motor looks good for vital tasks in exploring space, a physicist said today. This midget motor is no bigger "than a man s thumb. It works by shooting out electri fied atoms and electrons at speeds of 22,000 miles an hour. This pro duces thrust, just as does the ex haust of chemical fuels to thrust up rockets. The tiny engine is not strong enough to propel a rocket or said lite as its main energy. But it could produce sidewise, forward or backward thrust to control the position and direction- jng of a satellite in space, said Dr. W. H. Bostick of Stevens In stitute of Technology, Hoboken N.J. Such controls can be important in keeping a weather-watcher or communications satellite in a pre cise orbit around the earth, or making it drop down lower, or fly up higher, to intercept a space thip, or refueling, or rescue mis sions. Or to keep a photographic eye pointing at the moon or dis tant stars for pictures. Bostick and associates developed a laboratory model of the midget motor just last month. He de scribed it today at opening ses sions of the annual meeting of the Institute of Aeronautical Sciences. The midget is a plasma rocket motor, he explained. Electrical energy vaporizes the tip of a wire in the motor. Off come positively charged atoms (ions) and electrons, which fly out of the engine, producing thrust, This engine can develop 41 per cent efficiency for the electrical energy -consumed, Bostick said. The energy is created in pulses. Mora wire can be thrust up as the tip is consumed. In some respects, the plasma motor is simpler and lighter in weight than ion rocket engines which produce thrust only from positively charged ions, the phys icist said.

The aerial photo was taken by Carl Frei for the sellers, Mr. and Mrs. J. V. Kindig and shows the seven-acre project with 45 modern trailer units. The Pitts plan the addition of about 20 units. The trailer park, first modern trailer facilities in this area, was started in 1949 and finished in 1950 by the sellers. SALEM AP Oregon will nnt have to increase its 6-cent a allnn gasoline tax until at least State Highway Engineer W. C. Williams said Friday. He told this to the Legislative Interim Highway Committee, hich met with the Highway Com mission and Williams to discuss highway policies. I he Highway Commission failed in its effort to get the 1959 Legislature to boost the tax one cent a gallon. Williams said Friday because the federal government slowed down its interstate highway con- truction program the extra cent lax wouldn't have been needed. Orcson's share of the interstate highway program now is 27 mil lion dollars behind schedule be cause of the federal slowdown, he said. For this reason, state match Foresters Hear Statement On Forest Service Policy POTTSTOWN, Pa.

The speaker was Walter Lund of Portland, assistant regional for ester, U.S. Forest Service, in charge of timber managment for the Pacific Northwest. He was in troduced by Clayton Weaver, su pervisor of the Fremont National Forest and a member of the chap ter. "It is our policy to let industry know our plans, because we are dependent upon industry just as it is dependent upon us," Lund continued. "It is our policy to do our utmost to make progress in the management of the forests to improve our management tech niques, our harvesting techniques and our utilization techniques." Lund emphasized that the pol icy includes determining as ac curately as possible the maximum cut of marketable products which can be harvested and still have a continuous ' yield and an even flow of timber to maintain an economic balance. He stated that the policy has remained uniform since the basic creative act which established na tional forests nearly 60 years ago, This act," he' explained, had the two-fold purpose of protecting the nation's watersheds and maintain ing a continuous supply of timber through good forest management. It has been stated that we have no policies," Lund asserted. "Possibly we have not promulgat- ROCK AROUND CLOCK LEAMINGTON SPA, England (UPI) - Seven teen-agers fin ished rocking around the clock today to set a new British jive marathon record.

I'M WORTH A LOT! i i i rs Watch The Herald - News! ed rules as have oilier agencies. We feel that to publish policies would restrain free action." In speaking of planting and stand betterment on lands that are cut, Lund came to the defense of the law which establishes a reserve for this purpose. "If we didn't collect the mon ey, he said, we would have to allow for a price for the purchaser to do this himself." He was refer ring to the clause in timber sale contracts which sets aside an amount to be withheld from the total net amount of forest service timber sales revenue on which the counties' 25 per cent return is based. -This was established by the Knutsen - Vandenbcrg Act passed by Congress. "It is necessary for the forest service to demonstrate (to the public) on lands that are cut that we get the lands back to where they are attractive and that we will not destroy them for multiple use purposes," Lund said in con clusion. Increase In Gasoline Tax Will Not Come Until '63 Family Saved By Telephone OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. (AP) A telephone call was credited with saving a family of six from serious illness and possible death Sunday. William E. Johnson,, 29, awoke feeling ill. He discovered his wife nd their four children also had been stricken. Mrs. Johnson, 2V), was unconscious. Johnson staggered to a tele phone to call his wife's mother, Airs. O. E, Godwin. She and her brother-in-law J. B. Godwin, hur ried to the Johnson home and managed to get them outside and call firemen and ambulances. District Fire Chief Ben Dancy said the family became ill on gas fumes due to improper combus tion of the fuel in a floor furnace. Ing revenue will be sufficient to ast through he added. This was, welcome news to the legislators, who now won't have to consider a raise in the tax at the 1961 session. Williams said the interstate highway program, including Ore gon's part, will not be completed until 1974. instead of 1970, the original target date. But he said Oregon's two inter state routes the Pacific and Columbia River-Old Oregon Trail Highways will be modernized within seven or eight years from now. This means, he said, that these routes will be either four- lancd or wilh wide two-lane con struction by that time. Work will be done later to increase the re maining two-lane sections to four lanes. Williams doubted if there is a chance to remove the tolls which were imposed 12 days ago on the Interstate Bridge between Port land and Vancouver. He said Con gress probably would not provide (he 14 million dollars to pay off the bridge bonds, because there are hundreds of similar cases throughout the country. As to construction costs of in- terslate routes, Williams said Ore- Ron pays the same as the national average $600,000 per mile in rural areas, and from 3 to 1Q mil lions a mile in cities. Right of way costs about 25 per cent of the total construction cost. Williams said the national road tests now being conducted in Il linois will tell whether Oregon is correct in making trucks pay one- third of highway costs. These re sults, which will be available in about a year, also will give val uable information about designing roads. He cxpaincd that concrete costs 8 to 9 per cent more than asphalt, but that maintenance of concrete costs far less. Oregon has not used much concrete so far but Williams said it is better where there is heavy traffic and doubtful founda tion. Milo K. Mclver, commission chairman, said he thinks the com mission is spending the right amount of money for development of stale parks, and that Oregon is in line with other states. He said this in reply to a ques tion by State Rep. Beulah Hand iD-Milwaukie), who said parks are too crowded in the summer. Mclver said that "some people, like motel owners, think we spend too much on parks, and somt think we spend too little." He said he doesn't favor a pro posal to create a parks agency independent of the Highway Com mission. "The people get mora money for their dollar under the present system," he added.
