1b The-
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
There's something new in the
sky this morning the latest mod
el of our Discoverer satellites.
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.

Jew Killer
Is Charged
In Germany
FRANKFURT, Germany (API-
Richard Baer, handcuffed and de
manding treatment as an officer,
was brought here today to face
charges of murdering thousands
of Jews in the gas chambers of
Auschwitz concentration camp.
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.

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.

Police said the man who wound

Quesada said the United Air

was 11 miles off course at the.
time of the collision.
The jet and a Trans World Air

Friday. The accident claimed 135

The union president added:

statements at this time which
even infer that certain events led
to this accident is sheer specula

Road when Oregon and California
dignitaries met to dedicate the
first section of pipe to be laid
in the United States in the Alberta-California
Natural Gas Pipe
line Project.
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
