The experts complicate Black wood by employing another con vention known as Gerber along ith it. Blackwood-C-erber players uso (our clubs as Gerber when it is apparent that they want to use four no-trump as a strong bid in no-trump. Thus after any opening no-trump bid the immediate raise to four no-trump Is just a raise. The immediate bid of four clubs asks for aces. Gerber after a no-trump open ing has another advantage over Blackwood. Sometimes you will want to sign off at game if your partner doesn't show enough aces for a slam. After North opens with one no trump South wants to be in a small slam if North holds three aces and a grand slam if North holds all four of them and he has a perfect hand to ask for aces by Gerber. It is not a per fect hand for Blackwood because it is possible, although very im probable that North will only hold one ace in which case there will be no play for five odd. This happens to be the case. North has a full 17 points for his opening no-trump, b u t he holds only one ace. He shows this by his four heart bid. He is a trifle surprised when he finds himself playing that contract, but everything is fine when he sees dummy.

Only the power of the atom will give men true mastery of space travel. The energy in one pound of uranium it equal to that in 10 million pounds of gasoline. Working to harness this stupendous energy is the Space Nuclear Propulsion Office (SNPO). a joint organization of National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the Atomic Energy Commission. Its headquarters are at Germantown, Md., with extensions at Lewis Research Center in Cleveland, Albuquerque, N.M. and at the Nuclear Rocket Development Station at Jackass Flats, New Nuclear rocket work was begun by the AEC in 1955. After eight years and S400 million, such a rocket is still years away. Name of the program is Rover. This project Includes the Kiwi series of flightless reactors (first panel), the Nerva engine and R1KT (Re-actor-in-Klight-Test), the Nerva flight vehicle. SNPO is also developing the SNAP reactors. Where the Kiwi reactor heats a light gas, such as hydrogen, and shoots it out the nozzle for propulsion, the Snap reactor generates elec tricity to run a small electric engine. SNAP-8 will be flight tested in 1965, but the first 100-foot-high RIFT with a Nerva engine (second panel) considered to be the first true nuclear space engine may not be launched until 1968 or later. At Edwards AKB in southern California is one of NASA's smaller installations the Wight Research Center. This facility is responsible for the famed X-15 rocket research plane. The X-15. an NASA-Air Force-Navy program, will continue. In the meantime, the Air Force plans to use modified F-104 Starfighters (third panel) to train astronauts. A rocket booster will shove the planes up to 140,000 feet, above most of the atmosphere. Also at the Flight Research Center, Apollo astronauts will practice moon landings in an ungainly looking simulator (fourth panel). A jet engine will counteract five-sixths of the earth's gravity. The remaining sixth, equal to the moon's pull, will be handled by rockets. NEXT: Marshall and the Saturn Trimotor Plane Flight Described As Incredibly Painful Editor's Note: I Pi's av iation editor rode a restored Ford trimotor across the coun try last week in a re-enactment of TWA's first transcontinental flight from Los Angeles to New ark. The following dispatch gives him Impressions of the trip hack Into tun. By ROBERT . SERL1NG L'PI Aviation Editor WASHINGTON UPI - All tile way across the country, at every refueling stop, people kept asking in mingled awe and disbelief: "What's it like to fly it?" This is what it was like. Incredible physical discomfort from wicker seats that feel like iron spikes after one hour. Gaso line fumes reeking through the cabin until you reach cruising al titude and the primitive ventila tion system metal tubes sticking through the windows on one side of the plane starts to work. No smoking in flight because the gas tank runs smack through the center of the cabin ceiling. Engine noise so bad that nor mal conversation is impossible and your cars still ring hours after landing, plus vibration like that of a giant reducing machine. Hours of boredom on each flight segment, culminating in such massive fatigue, that you pray for a refueling stop. Delusion Of Courage ihis was air travel 33 years ago and the only salve for the physical torture is the feeling that you re being awfully brave. Eventually, the worse you feci, the delusion of raw courage be conies so sharp that you want to strut when you got oil at every stop and you see the photographers. But for every ache and for'ited.' money for fixing an oil leak be cause he said he had worked on trimotors in Detroit years ago.

TWA staged this re-enactment of the first transcontinental flight to dramatize aviation's progress. have impressed anyone who spent more than 25 hours in one, wc were not only impressed but amazed. What was it like? Something you wouldn't want to go through again, but something you're glad you did. LAKEVIEW With the awarding of contracts for the four major phases of the emergency rehabili tation program on the Paisley grazing unit, work will begin on the project in Uie near future, according to George Lea, district manager of the Bureau of Land Management. The project includes 14,000 acres of rcsceding, 55 miles of fencing, construction of 10 reser voirs, and drilling of five wells. It will be financed by the al location of $165,000 of federal funds from the Accelerated Pub lic Works program. Lea reports that sage and rab bit brush on the acreage has al ready been sprayed, and the seed ing will be done by drilling di rectly into the dead brush. The contract for 5,000 acres on Paisley Flat was awarded to W. L. Van Winkle of Vale at $1.70 per acre. The reseeding of 7.000 acres on Coleman Flat and 2.000 acres on Poverty Basin w ill be done by a contractor from Frenchglen at $1.49 per acre. The seed and brushland drills tor the work will bo furnished by the BLM. The materials for fencing also will be furnished by the BLM. At Paisley Flat. 13 miles o( fence will divide the area into four pastures. The contract went to Ted Sandberg of Klamath Falls at $150 per acre. R. E. Wood ward got the job ot fencing 22 miles at Coleman Flat to divide the area into three pastures at $224 per mile. At Sheep Itim, 20 miles of fence will be built along the boundary between the Paisley and Christmas Valley grazing units. The contract was award ed to Roy Travis of Burns at $300 per mile. W. E. Majors of the Majors Drilling Company. Central Point, got the contract for the drilling of wells at $6.90 per foot and $3.49 per foot for casing. Three wells to serve the four pastures at Paisley are expected to be from 100 to 200 feet deep. Two wells to service the three pas tures at Coleman Flat are ex pected to be from 200 to 300 feet deep. Ten reservoirs, involving about 70.000 cubic yards of earth mov ing, will bo located in tlie area of Wildcat and Diablo mountains to open a large grazing area that was not previously available due to lack of water. Van Winkle of Vale was the successful bidder at prices ranging from 22 cents to 30 cents per cubic ytrd, de pending on location and terrain.
