The U.S. successfully rockets
a chimpanzee - manned capsule
more than 100 miles out into
(pace and drops it into the At
lantic ocean some 420 miles down
range from Cape Canaveral. As
this is written, there is no report
en what happened to the chimp
whether or not he survived.
Ships and planes are scouring
the area.
As he entered the capsule for
his trip out into the unknown,
the chimp grinned and waved his
arms. Observers said he "seemedj
completely at ease about t h e
whole affair." That's what it is
to be a chimpanzee. You aren't
worried about the future.

and psychiatric experts, headed
by Major J. D. Mosely, chief of
the bio-astronautics branch of the
National and Space Agency, has
been conditioning them for the
fateful flight, which will be a vi
tal prelude to manned space travel-
Among other things, they have
been trained to flick levers when
lights go on. If they, don't flick
the lever when the light goes on,
they get slight electrical shocks
through the foot. If they pull the
lever at the right time, they don't
get the shock. It is reported that
they catch on quickly and soon
learn to yank the lever.
It is presumed that the lights
re arranged in such a sequence
that when the levers are pulled
messages will be sent back, tell
ing what is happening in the
space capsule.
The chimp in the capsule, it Is
hoped, will provide the first care
ful measurements showing wheth
er mental faculties and reflexes
are affected by the weird stresses
involved in taking off in a rocket
and floating in space without the
familiar sensation of having
weight. On this answer could de
pend partly whether humans can
ever go to the moon or Mars or
elsewhere out in space.
Animals have ridden up and
down in rockets before and Sovi
et dogs have even been brought
safely home after orbiting com
pletely around the earth. .But
none of these was ever before
analyzed to learn whether they
can think and react normally.
This is one of Ihe significant ele
ments in the new test preparing
for maq in space.
Hmmmmmmmm.
Maybe before sending its chimp
off into space the National Aero
nautics and Space Agency should
have consulted , the navy, which
has been watching a three-year-j
old porpoise at its ordnance test
station at China Lake, in Califor
nia. Porpoises can swim at high
speeds with little drag friction.
They can transmit and receive
sounds over several miles under1
water. They can withstand deep
water pressures beyond the known
capability of man and other mam
mals. They can swim at speeds of 20i
to 30 knots (25 to 35 miles) per
hour. They can jump 15 feet out

Chimpanzee Takes
Space Rocket Ride
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP)
The United Stales successfully
rocketed a chimpanzee-manned
space capsule more than 100 miles
into space today and dropped it!
in the Atlantic Ocean 420 miles
down range. There was no imme
diate report on whether the chimp
survived.
The capsule overshot its intend
ed target by 130 miles, indicating
that the Redstone booster rocket
had not performed as planned.
Ships, planes and helicopters
raced to attempt recovery of the
one-ton space chamber and its
passenger, a 37'4-pound male pri
mate designated simply No. 65.
The majority of the recovery
forces were stationed in the in
tended impact area 290 miles
down range. But other craft were
placed on both near and far sides
of the mark in case the capsule
missed it.
There was no immediate word
on how near the bell-shaped cap

The 60-foot rocket blasted off at

Six of the seven astronauts were
spectators at the launching. If the

McCracken opened the meeting
by pointing out that a year ago,
representatives of the forests had
agreed to provide additional cut

"We owe them a debt of grati

informed the group. "The three

McCracken also explained that
a decision was pending on the
possible formation of a new na

EARL KARLINGER, district ranger for the Klamath District of the Rogue River Na
tional Forest, explains cutting end sales plans for this area for the coming calendar
year. Karlinger replaced Darroll Frewing who is stationed in Klamath Falls handling
the timber of the Klamath Indian Reservation.
J. Herbert Stone, regional forester for file U. S.
Forest Service, informed Lakeview residents Monday
night that a proposal is being consider! for the estab
lishment of a new national forest from the Klamath In
dian Reservation lands.
Stone staled that headquarters for such a forest
would be in Klamath Falls, and would consist of the en
tire existing acres of the Klamath District of the Rogue
River; part of the Silver Lake district of the Fremont, the
Crescent district of the Deschutes, and all of the Indian
Reservation with the possible exception of a part of the
Bly district which would be added to the Fremont.
Stone explained that the new forest would consist
of 900,633 acres, would have an allowable cut of 90
million feet.
He Didicatcd that such af
forest would necessitate ad
justment of adjacent areas.
At present the Rogue River
covers 886,493 acres but
would be cut to 620,592; the
Fremont Is now 1,254,608
and would become 1,217,292
under the new proposal
while the Deschutes would
drop from its present size of
1,659,370 acres to 1,587,698
acres.
The estimated timber harvest
was listed by Stone as 90 mil
lion for the new proposed forest,
135 million for the Rogue River,
127 million for the Fremont and
136 million for the Deschutes, giv
ing a total allowable cut of 488
million in the combined areas.
Stone also slated tha: the tim
ber harvest from the reserva
tinn lands to be included In the
new national forest would bring
an estimated p40,fl00 in addition
al 25 per cent funds for the conn
lies.

administrative units under which
these lands are organized will in
no way affect the total timber

The forester said it would cost
about $137,000 annually to run the

the increase in the administrative
overall costs would be consider
ably less than this amount.

a national forest already exists in
California.
He listed the annual income by
counties of the 25 per cent fund
distribution as $742,837 for Klam-j
