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.

97 TRAILER PARK, one mile south of the Klamath Falls city limits on Highway 97 South,
has been purchased by Mr. and Mrs. D. A, Pitts who recently moved hers from Bend. They
are former operators of a motel and trailer park at Myrtle Creek and have numerous prop
erty interests. 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.

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. (AP) Mr.
and Mrs. Arthur Kybruz and their
children got out of their home fasti
Sunday when a fire started.
But Kybruz suddenly dashed
back. He didn't reappear. Three
passersby went into the Chester
Springs home and' found the 29-
year-old father overcome by
smoke and badly burned. ,
Kybruz, in critical condition at
Phoenixville Hospital, had gone
back for the property deed to his
home. He didn't know his wife
had grabbed it when the family
fled.

"It is the U.S. Forest Service's
policy to be as fair to industry
and purchasers as possible," it
was stated by the guest speaker
at Friday evening's meeting of
the Shasta - Cascade Chapter,
American Society of Foresters at
Lakevicw.
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-

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.
