Major Gordon Cooper goes 22.9
times around the earth, a distance
of slightly more than half a mil
lion miles, and comes down only
7,000 yards tabout four miles
from the rescue ship that was
waiting to pick him up. And . . .
he may have landed deliberately
w ide of the mark to make sure
that the ship hadn't changed its
position.
1 reckon we can hit with a
bomb just about any spot on
earth. It gives one a slight attack
of the shivers, doesn't it.
The distance he traveled in his
22 and a fraction trips around
the earth was just under 600.000
miles. The round trip to the moon
is a little less than 500.000 miles.
His time was a little less than a
day and a half.
appears
The time may come when a
round trip to the moon will be
merely a week-end jaunt.
Listen to this:
In New York a reporter w as in
terviewing people gathered in the
huge Grand Central Station, where
the commuter trains leave for the
suburbs. One of those intcryiewed
was 10-year-old Christine Lewis. I
Asked what she thought about it
all. islie replied:
"I feel so happy! I'd LIKE TO
VISIT THE MOON MYSELF.
SOME TIME."
Among those questioned at New
York's Grand Central was a Uni
versity of Utah geologist, Dr. Wil
liam Hewitt. He replied:
"It was a most amazing
achievement for all of the world.
Fifty years from now. Major Coo
per's flight will look as cumber
some to us as the Wright Broth
ers' airplane does today."
Hmmmmmmmmmmm.
On that December 17. 1903. only
M years ago, when OrviUe and
Wilbur Wright made the world's
first flight in a power-driven air
plane at Kitty Hawk. North Caro
lina, it is probable that no one
who saw it or read of it could
have imagined tlie jet airliners of
today which made it possible to
have an early lunch in Paris and
late dinner in San Francisco.
On that historic day at Kitty
Hawk, Orvillc Wright piloted the
little contraption that by courtesy
and with great pride they called
an AIRPLANE.
He flew 120 feet and remained
In the air for 12 seconds. Only
five persons w ere i n t e r e t e d
enough to watch the flight, and
few newspapers wrote anything
about it. Most persons thought the
Wright brothers were crazy.
But they weren't dismayed by
what happened at Kitty Hawk.
They continued to work on their
crazy contraption, and in 19(6, tw-o
years later, tliey (lew 24 miles in
3!) minutes.
The next year they received a
patent for their invention. They
tried to interest people in their
flying machine, but no one lis
tened to them The U.S. govern
ment thought it impractical and
dangerous.
That was only an average life
time ago. And look what has hap
pened since! So who can predict
what will come of space travel"
Upgrading
Signs Seen
In Economy
WASHINGTON "IPt'-The na
tion's economy showed signs of
kicking up its heels today but the
good news was partially blunted
by word that the balance of pay
ments deficit worsened during the
first three months of I9M.
The optimistic economic report
came (mm the Federal Reserve
Board which announced Thursdav
that industrial production in April
recorded its highest percentage
point increase in 22 months
A few hours later, llie Com
merce Department reported that
the payments deficit rose to an
annual rale of $.13 billion during
the first quarter of the year
about one billion higher than last
year's rate.
The industrial production index
measures the output in the na
tion's factories, mines and utili
ties. It is considered a primary
indicator of ho the economy l
gctting along.
The April advance encourased
those economists who feel that
business is ready to start a
healthy upward surge The econ
omy has been going up for the
past year but at a tale loo slow to
satisfy the chart-watchers.

Income Tax
Vote Slated
In Senate
SALEM iL'PIt The Senate was
to vote today on an income tax
measure designed to raise an ad
ditional $52 million next biennium.
The Senate version differed
widely from a House-approved bill
designed to raise an additional $:!5
million from 'increased income
taxes.
Tile Senate threw out the
House's modified net receipts fea
ture, and a plan for a flat $22
credit for dependents.
The Senate bill included sharplv
increased rates to pick up $17 mil
lion more from income taxes than
tlie House version would produce
The. Senate bill would make
these changes in the present law
Eliminate federal income tax
deduction.
Increase personal exemptions
from $M)0 to $ti5fl for a single per
son, am' from $1,200 to $1,300 for
a marritd touple. while at tlie
same ti.ne reducing dependency
credit from Woo to $400.
Decrease tlie top publislied
rate from 9'i per cent to 7 per
cent.
Impose a minimum $10 tax on
single perrons, and $20 on joint
returns.
Grant full deduction of all
medical expenses in excess of five
per cent of income.
The Senate plan would have
this effect on taxes:
$5,000 income Single person $41
increase, couple $24 increase,
family of four Rfi increase.
Sto.ono income single person
$59 increase, couple $79 increase,
family of four $88 increase.
Senate Tax Committee chair
man Bovd Overhulse. D-Madras.
said the Senate plan was de
signed so larger families would
pay more, and thus pay their fair
share of the cost of education.
House Speaker Clarence Barton
and House Tax Committee Chair
man Rep. Richard Eymann, D
Marcola. both complained the
Senate version abandoned the
"ability to pay" theory.

They hailed his flight as "mag

Cooper, who made a bull's-eye
