THE WIZARDS OF SPACE
. Gerber Aids
Slam Play
By OSWALD JACOBY
Newspaper Enterprise Assn.
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.

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.

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.
