THE WIZARDS OF SPACE 01) By Don Oakley and John Lane 1 HERALD AND NEWS, Klamath Falls. Oregon Monday, June 24, 1963 PACE muw-v---" fc,y 4' Next to manned flight, the most exciting ex ploits of the early space age have been the first attempts to send instruments beyond the earth to the moon and into interplanetary space. Responsible for America's efforts in this area is National Aeronautics and Space Administra tion's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. JPL, located in Pasadena, Calif., differs from NASA s other centers in that it is operated un der contract by California Institute of Tech nology. It has a staff of 3,800. Its spending in fiscal 1964 may reach as high as $400 million. JPL's major spacecraft programs are: Ranger (hard moon landing), Surveyor (soft moon land ing), Mariner (interplanetary explorer) and Voyager (advanced planetary explorer). NASA has spent over J10O million on the Ranger program so far. There have been five flights and five failures and the program is behind schedule. Mariner has been delayed because the Centaur rocket, designed to power it into interplanetary orbit, has experienced constant trouble. Voyager awaits the power ful Saturn booster, now under development. Between now and 1967, NASA plans to send about 14 Rangers and 17 Surveyors to the moon to prepare the way for the first astro nauts. The 750-pound Surveyor, shown in first panel, will land a complete "laboratory. Color stereo television cameras will examine the lunar landscape; other instruments will analyze lunar soil and radio the findings back to earth. Half a dozen Mariners will be sent to Venus and Mars in 1964 and 1965. Toward the end of the decade and into the next, JPL. will launch even more spectacular deep-space probes. One will arc through the tail of a comet in 1967, when a number of comets are due to appear. Probes are being considered for the smallest and largest planets, Mercury (1967) and Jupiter (early 1970s). Another probe will be launched around the sun out of the plane of the ecliptic; that is, at an angle to the plane in which the planets orbit. Finally, a probe will be sent as close to the sun as 10 million miles to study its corona and spectacular solar flares. NEXT: Rover, RIFT, SNAP and Kiw! Drink Excessively - You Die Early NEW YORK HW - It now has been demonstrated with hard figures that those who drink ex cessively and habitually pay for it by dying sooner than they would have otherwise. Many people have always be lieved it but usually they're not alcoholic. Heretofore mathematic al proof or disproof has been lacking. Vital statistics do not say whether their subjects were alcoholic or non-alcoholic. Michiko Tashiro, a statistician, and Dr. Wendell R. Lipscomb had the makings for such a unique set of figures in the rec ords of the California State Al coholic Rehabilitation Organiza tion. They are members of its scientific staff. Living and Dead To its four alcoholism treat ment centers 1.692 men and wom en were admitted in a three year period beginning in 1954. Tashiro and Lipscomb checked back on them all and separated the presently, living from the dead. This gave them two sets of statistics, a survival table and a mortality table. These they com pared to the same tables for the California population as a whole, making proper statistical and ad justments for age. sex and race in order to get mathematically precise comparisons. For the five year period under consideration, the heavy drinkers survived only 91 per cent as well as their opposite numbers in the general population, demonstrating, the scientists said, that "alcohol- FALSETEETrSECRET nipnntf rnrni a mwwr to uoia UlObUllrttu: mm run 10 Tha aacrat la iUmit. formartj wd only in danu) lib.

The average an nual death rate of the alcoholics figured out to 26 per 1.000. In the general population the rate was It per 1.000. Thus, the death rate among alcoholics was almost 2 1-2 to 1.

Russians Beating United States In Manned Space Conquest CAPE CANAVERAL UPI -The Russians are beating the United States in manned conquest of space but it's a safe bet they aren't having half as much fun at it. America's No. 1 spaceport at Cape Canaveral is tension laced with tomfoolery a strange place where strange Ihings might be expected to happen. They do. Like the time a Mercury astro- Effort To Find Nuclear Sub To Be Extended ABOARD THE L'SS FORT SNELLING AT SEA HlPIi-An all-out effort by the Navy to lo cate the missing nuclear subma rine" Thresher will be made Mon day, weather permitting, when the two-man bathyscaph Trieste plunges 8.400 feet to the floor of the Atlantic. Trieste, under low from Boston hy the salvage ship Preserver at a speed ranging from 2 to 4 knots, was expected to arrive at Ihe site of the Thresher sinking, 220 miles east of Cape Cod. Sun day night. The MS million Thresher. 112 Navy ofticers and men and 17 civilian technicians aboard, plunged to depths beyond her op erating rapacity April 10. In these depths, more than a mile and a lialf beneath tlie surface of the sea. the tremendous pressure nf about two tons per square inch was believed to have cru.shed the hull of the vessel. Since then Ihe Navy has been using oceanographic research vessels in an operation which ex perts admit is an entirely new field for the Navy: That of find ing a sunken object of major proportions at great depths. Trieste, an oddly shaped un derwater research device, is ac tually two units. The top is a huge, balloon-shaped float. 58 feet long and 11 feet in diameter. Beneath it is the steel gondola in which the "pilot" and observ er ride. When Trieste makes her dive Monday she will check out an area where previous tests with special gear indicate the hulk of Thresher might lie. Naval experts point out there is a difference of opinion as to what might be expected to be found. naut spiced up an otherwise bor ing "dry run" by suddenly clutch ing at a gantry elevator and yelling: "No! I don't want to go!" The nation's press was on hand for that one. Or the evening the U.S. Navy managed to lose a boatload of newsmen at sea for an hour. when four officers were unable to find the port from five miles offshore. But none of it quite matched the recent evening when tne Fen- LEATHER CARE White leather should have Us oil content maintained for the best possible service.

Store Price $3 Million PORTLAND IL'PII - The Lip- man-Wolfe & Co. today announced purchase of the building it has leased for the past 50 years. The price for the 10-story down town structure was reported as in excess of $3 million. Clarence Miller, store manager, said the building was bought from Henry A. Kuckerberg and the O' Donald and O'Shea estates. William Roberts, president ol Lipman-Wolfe announced the pur chase. The Roberts' company also operates stores in Salem, Corval- lis and Eastport Plaza in Portland. wick Aeronautics and Space Ad ministration iFASAi came to tow, recruited virtually everyone from U.S. astronaut L. Cooper Cooper Jr. on down, and laid claims to beating both Russia and America to the moon. The slightly touched-up "docu mentary evidence" was a movie, Mouse on the Moon." which re lated the story of how the tiny. mythical Duchy of Grand Fen wick started out to seek U.S. fi nancial aid for plumbing arid ended up by landing the first as tronauts on the moon. Grand Fenwick may also be remembered as tlie 24 - square mile country that, in an earlier movie, decided that tlie best way to get U.S. foreign aid was to go to war with and get beaten by America. The movie may never win an Academy Award. But from Coop er on down, those spaeeporlers whose lives are WTapped in and around missiles, rockets and space travel found it a delightful spoof of their daily headaches and heartaches. It was perhaps the type of fun that "outsiders" might find hard lo comprehend, especially amid the scientific fame and fortune that is Cape Canaveral. ! But the Cape isn't a place you would want to live just for fun. After tlie initial glamour wears off and it invariably does it takes a high degree of dedication to keep a top-grade scientist or technician or missile worker here to put men and machines into space.
