This one is Discoverer XIX. Its job is to take the earth's temper ature. Exactly the same as your doctor takes your temperature. And for the same reason. When your doctor takes your temperature, he wants to know what's going on in your system If there is too much HEAT, some thing is wrong. He then goes to workto find out WHAT is wrong. The Discoverer satellites are de signed to work in the same way. They merely use different equip ment. Your doctor uses a clinical thermometer," which he puts utv der your tongue. The Discoverer satellites carry equipment to measure the amount of infrared radiation given off by the earth. This information is then radioed instantly to our Midas missile alarm system. Your doctor's thermometer tells Jiim the temperature of your body. If your temperature is degrees, you are normal. If it is ABOVE 98.6 degrees, something is wrong. The job of our Midas missile system is to determine the NOR MAL amount of infrared radiation given off by the earth.-Then if the Discoverer satellites circling the earth every 93 minutes re port a sudden RISE in the infra- - red radiation (which is given off by HOT bodies) it will be as sumed that something is WRONG The assumption would be that our enemies had blasted off at us a flock of missiles, which are VERY HOT bodies. We would then (presumbably) take the step called for by the situation and Instantaneously launch back at them enough missiles, to destroy mem. Pretty rugged? But nuclear warfare Is rucced, It changes the whole face of war- tare as we' have known it. This is, the situation We have given the Russians the FIRST BITE. Which is to say. we have given our solemn word that under no circumstances will we be the AGGRESSOR in a nuclear attack. That amounts to this: it tempts the communists to SHOOT FIRST-to DESTROY US before we can shoot back, To get everything ready and then blow us off the earth in one massive missile strike. This is the point: If we can get INSTANTANE OUS warning that the communists are launching missiles at us, we can instantaneously launch mis siles at them. That would mean MUTUAL destruction. Our theory is that the communists won t in vite MUTUAL destruction. It's a grim theory. But nuclear warfare is grim. The future will be somewhat less grim if we can convince the Rus sians that a sneak nuclear at tack on us will bring upon them Instantaneous RETALIATION.

Baer, 49, was Auschwitz's last: commandant. German police arrested him Tuesday at Dassendorf, near Hamburg, where he had been working as a master lumberman under an assumed name. I am an officer," he asserted when arrested. "Treat me accord ingly." He was manacled and, with a heavy guard, put on a train for Frankfurt. Baer succeeded Rudolf Hoess as Auschwitz commandant in 1944. Hoess and another Auschwitz commandant were executed after the war for crimes committed at the camp. NEW YORK (AP) A naval State Atty. Heinz Wolf said Baer court of inquiry convenes today js charged with murdering Jews to study the disastrous fire that Stern Criticism Preludes Probe Of Carrier Fire Gunman taught After Wounding State Policeman THE DALLES, Ore. (API-Po lice today captured a wounded man who rap a roadblock, and said he was the one who shot a state policeman Tuesday, setting off a vast manhunt in Central Oregon. Police ran down the car in the little town of Dufur, south of here, and fired two shots into the air when the man 'tried to flee on foot. He stopped and surrendered without further resistance. The man taken into custody was identified by sheriff's deputy Del Goss as John R. Taylor, 27, for merly of Salem, Ore., once an inmate of the Oregon State Peni tentiary. The deputy said Taylor was the man who shot state po liceman Donald Cain near Ash land late Tuesday. The shooting set off a manhunt and chase that covered 350 miles from South-Central Oregon to near this Columbia River town. Cain was shot three times in the leg as he questioned a hitch hiker picked up on the outskirts of Ashland. Cain was reported in good condition today. Cain said he fired as the hitch-hiker fled, adding he thought be wounded him. A blood - soaked overcoat was found nearby. The search had shifted 200 miles north of Ashland early today when police chased a stolen car and then lost its driver when he fled on foot through a residential area. Blood stains were found in the front seat. Another car was reported stolen in Bend a short time later, and more roadblocks were set up. A few hours later, a car whizzed by police just setting up a roadblock near Dufur, and officers gave chase. Goss said he chased the car into Dufur, and was there joined by other police. Goss said the fugitive then stopped the car, got out and tried to run. But he slopped and gave up meekly, Goss d, when the shots were fired into the air. . State police here later said that Taylor had been wounded in the leg in the earlier gun fight at Ashland. ... The search shifted to Bend early today when a cafe operator saw man acting suspiciously in a parked car, and called police. Of ficers gave chase, and the fugitive abandoned his stolen car in a residential area and fled on foot. Police pursued him but lost the trail. Blood Plains were found on the fron seat of the car. aooui zu policemen iook pan in the search here, as tempera tures dropped below freezing and frost coated the ground. Police said the man who wound ed Cain apparently had stolen a car later in Trail, Ore., and then dashed here before abandoning it. fe Oregon And California Dignitaries Officiate By GUY W.

E. R. Quesada, administrator of the Federal Aviation Agency, was criticized in a statement Issued by Clarence N. Sayen, president of ALPA, a pilots union. Sayen said Quesada's state ments Monday after the adminis trator briefed President Eisenhow er on the tragedy were "irregular and , improper. Quesada said the United Air Lines DC8 jet which was involved was 11 miles off course at the. time of the collision. The jet and a Trans World Air lines Constellation smashed to gether over Stolen Island last Friday. The accident claimed 135 lives. The union president added: "Certain tentative facts have emerged but have not been veri fied in relation to other facts and the over-all problem. To issue statements at this time which even infer that certain events led to this accident is sheer specula lion." shaped' polar orbit 130 to 400 miles out..

While city, county and state of ficials and representatives of the pipeline, companies looked on, three huge sections of pipe were moved into place at the location on the Oregon-California border. One section was placed in a pre pared casing beneath the road and then workmen welded pipe to both ends marking the crossing of the state border and the begin ning of a far-reaching' project. . When It is completed sometime next fall, the pipe will stretch 1,404 miles from natural gas fields in the foothills of Alberta's Rocky Mountains to its terminus at An- tioch m the San Francisco Bay Area. The 36-inch tube will deliv er gas for domestic and industri al use to consumers in two Cana dian provinces and four states. Pa cific Gas Transmission Company will import an average of 418 million cubic feet of gas a day from Canada and will, in turn, deliver 415 million cubic teet a day to Pacific Gas and Electric Company at the. California bor der. , : : i Crews had been working since October' to prepare for today's ceremony.. Clearing crews, under the supervision , of Oscar Murray of Bend, had been hacking a wide swath, through the rough terrain from Maim north past Bonanza. Other crews from Western Pipe line company had prepared the trench for the pipe. More than 71 miles of pipe had been processed at a Sprague River storage yard oy the stanltfy-Bledsoe Corpora tion of Tulsa, Okla. -' The project will continue through the -winter and .for most of 1961 before the pipe can deliv er gas. The three sections laid Wednesday ' will grow : into' 614 miles of pipe in Oregon, Idaho and Washington, another 296 miles in California and 494 miles in Canada. Gas consumers in the Klamath area can expect a gigantic in crease in the gas supply late in 1961 and a corresponding rate reduction.

General Assembly recessed its turbulent 15th session early today after approving a res olution requiring all members to share In the cost of the 1960 U. N. Congo operation. The Soviet Union vigorously op posed the plan. It made it plain it would defy the assembly ma jority by refusing to supply any part of the 648.5 million to be raised by assessments. The vote was 46-17 with 24 abstentions. - The assembly also authorized Secretary-General Dag Hammar- LITTLE FOtKS helped, too, to make a Merry Christmas for the aged, the ill and others who through circum stances live at the Klamath Nursing Home.

' ' Line Issue Handed Off HAI.EM (API The state Land Rnarri tndav decided to ask the legislature for authority to permit International Paper Company to mn umsta nineline under the state-owned beach in the Gardin er area. It took this action after Atty. Gen. Robert Y. Thornton told the board it has no power to permit crossings of the ocean beaches, even though the pipeline would be underground. The line would carry effluent from a mill the company plans to build at Gardiner. It would em ploy about 1,000 men. . Company officials " told the board they would cooperate to sponsoring the legislation. Thorn ton said he hopes it can be passed early In the session, which opens Jan. l skjold to spend up to 124 million for the Congo operation during the first three months of 1961. The 99 nation assembly ad journed at 12:57 a. m. to begin an U-week recess that will end March 7. The stormy three-month session. which opened Sept. 20, was nota ble chiefly for the visit of Soviet Premier Khrushchev and the bit ter Soviet campaign against Ham-marskjold. 'The session also felt other im pacts of the Congo crisis, the un certainties of the U. S. presiden tial election, and the growing pains that came with the admis sion of 17 new members, 16 of them African. These factors resulted in pro longed debates,-paralysing dead locks and a general slowdown of work that forced postponement of action on many major items, in cluding disarmament, until the second part of the session. The final hours were devoted mostly to budgetary and other housekeeping questions, but the crucial issues raised during the session persisted. The Russians indicated they would continue their attack.
