HERALD AND NEWS. Klamath Falls. Ore. Fririav, Feb. 12. 1060 PAGE 7 A Neither Side Lays Claim To 'Orphan' . WASHINGTON (AP) - No one has slopped forward lo claim the mysterious space orphan that is circling the world in an erratic orbit. Is it American? Probably is, said Secretary of the Air Force Dudley C. Sharp. He said he thinks it may be the casing of an early U.S. Discoverer experiment, since the Discoverer casings and the mystery objeel are both a little over 19 feet long. Js it Soviet? Could be, said Lt. Gen. James M. Gavin, retired chief of Army research and development. He said he had no inside information but believes it is a space spy that might even be able to dis tinguish one plane from another on American airfields and send that information back to the So viet Union. The Pentagon said Wednesday the satellite could be of Soviet ori gin. Its near-polar orbit would be good for a reconnaissance vehi cle. But American space scientists have learned that it is difficult to receive signals from a space trav eler that is tumbling in space as this one is. Navy trackers are keeping more than a fatherly eye on the object which showed up on their elec tronic tracking screens about three weeks ago. They have not picked up signals from it. But there is no way of telling whether it might have been geared to send information when triggered by some remote receiving station. Boy Survives Sewer Trip ERIE, Pa. (UPI) - If little boys, like cats, have nine lives. Virgil Swartwood has one down and eight to go. Curiosity almost killed him. Virgil decided to investigate a six-foot hole in the ground Wednesday. He tripped and began a 2'i mile tumbling, twisting trip through a murky sewer tube filled with icy, swift-moving water. The eight-year-old's harrowing adventure began when he peered over the edge of a concrete flood control and sewage tube which runs from the city to the shore ol Lake Erie. Virgil tripped on a log and plunged screaming into the swirl ing water. - , A passerby heard the boy's screams and notified the right man. Disposal plant workman John Grochulski was waiting at the lake's edge when the unconscious boy was swept from the sewer tube 20 minutes after his fall. ' Grochulski, 50, dived from a 15 foot wall into the freezing water and held Virgil's' head above wa ter for 20 minutes until a rescue boat was launched. Doctors at Hammot Hospital re vived the boy. He was listed in good condition although suffering from shock and exposure. "COWBOYS" ROUNDED UP DELAND, Fla. (UPI) Two 15-jtcar-old would-be cowboys had a Wild West spree at the expense of 75-year-old Amos Hare. Police said today the teen-agers, whose names were withheld, stole $419 from Hare, then filled up with hamburgers and rode taxis to spend all but $00 of the money on cowboy boots, western jackets and ten-gallon hats. Furor Arty, Conflict Passe As NY City Opera Opens By W. C. ROGERS ' NEW YOHK 'AP) - Up the workingman! Join the union! Don't let church, press and col lege sell you out! That revolutionary message was sung, danced and fiddled Thurs day night at the opening of the spring season of New York City cpera in City Center. The work, "The Cradle Will Rock," was Marc Blitzstein's fi ery music drama about the out break of a strike in a place he called Steeltown. It raised a furor here In 1937 when the director of the Works Progress Administration, under whose federal theater program it had been prepared for Broadway. forbade its presentation on the New York stage. It whipped up a furor again Thursday night. The first time the fuss was all ideological. Too many people were supposed to be too afraid of work ers of the world uniting: and WPA begging Congress for more funds didn't yant to appear to be too far out on a left if h limb. Theme Told For Revival "The Prodigal Daughter" will be the closing sermon subject at the revival meeting at the Klamath Gospel Center, 1625 Mitchell Street at Shasta Way, Sunday at 7:45 p.m. Evangelist Warren D. Combs, gospel singer and trumpet-player of Yakima and former pastor of the church in Klamath Falls, will be in the pulpit. The message will be an Old Testament story paral lel to the New Testament story of "The Prodigal Son." The revival meeting continues Friday at 7:45 p.m. with special prayer for the sick at the conclu sion of the service. The evan gelist's theme will be "When Will the Lord Heal Me?" The pastor and evangelist will bring a spe cial gospel vocal duet. The Sunday services .begin at 10 a.m. with Sunday School and classes for all ages. Mr. Combs will give a special object lesson to the boys and girls. Awards will be given to all those who bring someone who has not been present for four Sundays. At the 11 o'clock worship service, the theme will be, "Jesus, the Sovereign King This lime the furor was all ar tistic. The social conflict sounded ou'dated. But as a creative work. it was wonderfully fresh. The pulse and drive of the music, the dramatic tensions, the lampooning and the overwhelming conviction shown by all the admirable per formers made it a music even ing to remember. On this occasion you overlooked the struggle of the worker with his wicked boss. The winner in every respect and on all counts was Blitzstein. It is not a musical masterpiece: I here is some mere patter music as background for the words. But ihe score is splendidly adequate. its sincerity is always evident. and its dramatic force has not diminished in the least. When the work was performed briefly a quarter century ago, the public, including this reviewer, saw it given on a bare stage, and heard, for sole accompaniment, Blitzstein playing the piano. Now the stage is framed impos ingly in great red steel I-beams Printed signs identify scenes: the chorus occupies a tier of seals in back; principal march down front. The humor is broad and pointed, the words are lively. Though overdone in spots, it has impressive emotional range from the touching love song of the young Polocks to the comical little dance in which Mr. Mister's jazz-age son is sent off to the hula- hula girls of Honolulu. Outstanding in the large cast were Tammy Grimes in her debut as Moll and Jane A. Johnston in her debut as Ella Hammer; Ruth Kobart as Mrs. Mister, and David Atkinson as Larry Foreman. Leh man Engel conducted the work he had been going to conduct in 1937. Orson Welles staged it origin ally. This time it was Howard Da Sylva. It's one of the four American operas the company is taking on iff tour of 20 American cities this month and next. Special Services The Rev. Norvie O.

Aiken ' R-Vt) said to day a nuclear weapons test ban along the lines of the new U.S. pioposal should have a good chance to win Senate ratification. Aiken and several Democratic senators .loincd in commendation of the proposal, although some said there didn't seem to be much hope it would break the deadlock the 15-monlh-old Geneva talks. Initial Soviet reaction supported that idea. Our reaction is negative," So viet Delegate bemyon W. Tsarap km told newsmen in Geneva. These proposals cannot serve as the basis for any sort of agreement." But U.S. officials expressed hope the Soviet Union would take a more favorable attitude after thorough study of the pro posals. Otherwise, they said, Ihe Geneva negotiations will be threatened with collapse. Some Democrats in Congress said they had long advocated just such a plan as President Eisen hower announced Thursday. Sen. Mike Manslield (D-Mont), the Democratic whip, commented that it was "a good way to dis play bipartisanship" when the administration takes up recom mendations from the Senate." The proposal, formally pre senled lo the Soviets in Geneva calls for a ban on all sea and air atomic and hydrogen blasts. js well as large explosions in un derground tunnels. Warhead Neutralization Revealed By Tongue Slip WASHINGTON (AP)-A three- star general's apparent slip of the longue has disclosed that a small atomic explosion can be used lo neutralize thermonuclear war heads on ballistic missiles. Involved in the process is the principle of neutron flux, but (he details of the technique are clas sified top secret. Even after it was mentioned publicly, research officers declined to say anything about it. Lt. Gen. Arthur G. Trudeau, the Army's chief of research, made the disclosure Thursday during a movie-news conference on devel opment of the antimissile missile, Nike-Zeus. At this same movic-with-ques- tidns conference. Ihe Army also exhibited a one minute film clip showing the first known intercep tion of a ballistic missile by a guided missile. The film showed a Hawk anti aircraft missile, which carried a conventional high explosive war head, shooting down a short-range bombardment rocket called Ihe Honest John. The test was made Jan. 29 over White Sands, N.M. They collided at a combined im pact speed of about 2,000 miles an hour. Since the script with the Nike Zeus film carefully refrained from saying a direct hit was necessary to destroy the warhead of an in coming missile, Trudeau was asked if this didn't imply a means had been found to render Ihe war head harmless. Trudcau's answer was "yes. the warhead could be neutralized through the employment of the neutron flux principle. He added that an explosion ot Never has so much Comfort gone on duty Mwi far am o 3 b&'' 1095 - Sizes 5-10; A A to C Widths It's Trim Tred's white ripple crepe sole shoe for women who wear white.

Conn., than a larse explosion in New York City." Officials declined to give any further information on the neu tron flux, but its general princi ples have frequently been discussed. In an atomic explosion, used lo trigger a thermonuclear explosion. there is an abrupt and staggering release of neutrons which bump into each other, setting up a chain reaction. This reaction releases an enormous amount of heat and energy. OHIO G.I. IIKI.1) FRANKFURT, Germany (UPI) Army officials refused to com ment today on the claim of Pfc. Richard T. Wettrich, of Columbus Station, Ohio, that he is being held on charges of selling mili tary secrets to the Russians. Army authorities said earlier Ihey are holding Wettrich on charges of being absent without leave and absconding with money from his unit. To use Ihe (lux principle, some I plosion of a small atomic bomb means must be found to damper, in the Nike-Zeus is, of course, still or decrease, the release of neu- a lop secret.
