HERALD AND NEWS, Klamath Falls, Oregon Monday, July 8, 1963 PAGE 5 A Two Hours Across U.S. Predicted NEW YORK (UPI) Travelers! in the future will cross the Unit ed States in supersonic planes in a couple of hours. The visitor to New York can figuratively do the same thing now on foot without leaving the city. Sprawled over 205 acres in the Bronx is "Freedomland," a fam ily entertainment center laid out in the contours of the continental United States. A visit to this "In stant America" by the tourist can provide a welcome and relaxing break, particularly if the kids are along. For the price of admission ($1), there is free top-notch entertain ment and 14 other free attrac tions. There are scores of shows. exhibits and rides (ranging in price from 10 to SO cents), includ ing tile only Monorail roller coast er in the United States. The quickie cross-country tour begins where many Americans' ancestors began their quest for a; new life. The front gate leads to "Little Old New York" of a cen tury ago where horse-drawn trol leys clang through (.aslamp-lit streets under the watchful eyes of mustachioed, high - helmeted bluecoats. Chicago is beyond a trestle over which puffing locomotives of the Sante Fe Railroad with toot ing steam whistles haul strings of old-fashioned coaches on the route to the West Coast. Great Lakes sternwheeler boats with Victorian filigree rails and black crown smoke stacks tie up at the docks to take on passen gers for a West. Kicks Over Lantern Every hour on the hour. Moth er Leary's cow kicks over the lantern. A call is made for volun teers to haul out the ancient fire wagon and the small fry can help douse the "flames." Farther west is Fort Cavalryl where the marshal and his dep uties regularly gun down the bad guys in Wild West shootouts; in the dusty compound Nearby, trapper bull boats push off for the famed Northwest Pas sage and are caught unexpectedly in a crossfire between Indians and trappers. - Next comes California where! the travelers can walk through San Francisco's Chinatown, get really shook up on the Earth quake Ride, or watch Pacific seals cavort. The Hollywood Arena of fers circus acts for all throughout the day. In the great Southwest, an old fashioned Music Hall rings with community sings, free puppet shows and a Cavalcade of Clowns. An ore bucket ride whisks pass engers high over "rugged moun tains" in cable cars. Or if they wish to go even higher, a heli copter will take them for a bird's- eye view of the entire "United States" in just five minutes. In the South, a correspondent's wagon pulled by horses carried passengers through the "shot-and-shell" of Civil War battlefields, ending the journey at Appoma tox where an animated figure of Gen. Robert E. Lee on horseback has come to surrender. Less exciting but equally thrill ing is a visit to the Wax Mu- seum the same which was a highlight of the Seattle World's Fair last year. The tableaux of "The Last Supper," depicting Christ and the disciples, is a feature.

UPI Telephoto ever built, is scheduled to roll out of a Palmdale, Calif., assembly plant in August or September, and the Pentagon is in dilemma about how to handle this major news eent. Years in construction and the source of continuous friction with in and between the executive branch and Congress, the XB70 is the experimental plane which the Air Force had hoped to develop into a reconnaissance and missile armed strike craft called RS70. What do you do when you pub licly unveil a jet aircraft which is the fastest (2.000 m.p.h. high- Iwhich you do not intend to put into production? How do you han dle the roll-cut ceremony, a tra ditional p alone with new planes, and what do ,,ou say to the public about the remarkable machine being displayed These are questions the Defense Department, in the person of As sistant Secretary Arthur Sylves ter, and the Air Force are debat ing and seeking to resolve. Promises Advance Notice Sylvester g;ive assurance, ii answer to questions, that tlw! roll-out date w ill be announced in! advance and the press will be Cuba Seen As Campaign Issue For Republicans to play the whole thing in low-key. No amount of Defense Depart ment crepe ranging, however, will change the fact that the XB70 is a fantastic flying ma chine in its own right, embody- radical advances in technolo gy and manulactunng processes and certain to further the aero nautical art. There never has been anything like the XB70( once' called a manned missile. No amount of Air Force and company hoopluh at the unveil ing, on the other hand, will alter1 the fact that this particular air plane ran afoul of the missile age and is not destined for squad ron service, however much it contributes to future aviation do velopment, both military a n d commercial. Henry Wallace Predicts 80 Million Employment SOUTH SALEM, N.Y. (UPI I Henry A. Wallace, whose 1945 plan to provide 60 million jobs drew derisive hoots from skepli- cruist of the Middle.0,31 congressmen said Saturday me nation snuuiu aim uuw lur "at least 80 million in 1970." The fiery elder statesman and former farm bloc spokesman also suggested decentralization of in dustry as an answer to the un employment problem. Wallace took time out from "having fun planting some straw berry seeds" at his home here to comment on the Labor De partment's announcement that the number of employed Americans passed the 70 million mark for the first time in June. "My only error was in under estimating," he told UPI. "My plan was all laid out in my book i Sixty Million Jobs, published in 1946). I suggested three plans for furnishing the necessary jobs through private enterprise, a cer tain amount of government parti cipation or an intermediate one of both. "Oh, there was lots of skepti cism then," said the 74-year-old Wallace who served four years as vice president under Franklin D. Roosevelt before heading up the Commerce Department. "One senator I won't men tion his name even w e n t on the air and said there couldn't be more than 54 million jobs." But Wallace admitted even he was surprised by the spiraiing economy. And what most surpris ed him, he said, "was the amount Congress would be willing to go in government financing." "It was higher than I ever en visioned in my most plans." said Wallace. WASHINGTON (UPD-Rcpub- licans kept pressure on the ad ministration today for stronger action on Cuba despite assur ances from the State Department that further anti-Castro steps are planned. Sens. Gordon Allott, R-Colo., and Jack Miller, R-Iowa, mem bers of a group of Republicans w ho feci Cuba is one of the GOP's best 1964 campaign issues, con tinued the attack on what they believe is a weak anti-Communist policy in Cuba by President Ken nedy. The criticism followed a State Department announcement that the United States intended to take additional steps of its o w n and would seek extended action by the Organization of American States i OAS) "which will in fact turther isolate Cuba." Department Spokesman Richard I. Phillips said the United States will continue "vigorous efforts" by w ay of diplomatic channels to re duce free world shipping to Cu ba, which has increased recently, and will enforce vigorously U.S. shipping regulations against Cuba. But Phillips did not say what other steps would be taken. Allott said in a radio-Television interview w ith Miller that econom- and diplomatic pressures on Cuba are only a "policy of con- policy of containment at that." Miller agreed that stronger measures are needed and said: "Some of these people who are saying that Castro's regime is falling had better realize that we have...never seen a Communist government overturned under the same situations that Cuba has todav." TWO TO LEAD HOLLYWOOD (UPI) Yvonne de Carlo and Dale Robertson, of! the defunct "Wells Fargo" televi sion series, will play the roman tic leads in "Invitation to a Hanging." managing the XB70 roll-out will) influence the fact that there will be large public interest in the event and the press will expect to be out in full force to cover it. Builds Three Models At a cost now expected to ex ceed $13 billion. North Amcri can Aviation, Inc., as prime con tractor, is building three XB70 models. The first was slated to (ly last December but ran into technical problems that have de laved its roll out at Palmdale un- til late this summer and its first flight until October or November. Technical difficulties arc the rule, not the exception, in ad vanced new aircraft, all the more so with one that makes such strides as the high alloy stain less steel XB70. The specific problem in this case was a leak of pressurized nitrogen gas, used in the trian- Ie-shapcd wing to cool fuel while the Air Force believe that the problem has been fixed, after painstaking examination of the wing construction and nitrogen gas piping. Their present expectation is to roll-out the ABiO in August or September and start extensive ground tests at the desert center at Palmdale. Then, if all goes well, the be hemoth should take to (lie air in late fall for a two-to-three hour flight, alighting at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., the test ing area for all America's ad vanced military aircraft. STARVED WEEVILS ' For the first time, entomolo ists have extracted the sub stance which makes cotton ap petizing to boll weevils. This substance, called "arrestant," if it could be synthesized, could be used to treat other plants and induce boll weevils to lay their eggs where the newly-hatched iarvae would starve, according to the Britannica Book of the Year. CITY'S NICKNAME Lord Cornwallis, who held the city for a time during the Revo lutionary War, called Charlotte, N.C., a hornet's nest because- tlie city's citizens were so active in anti-British activities. Today's slogan - nickname of "hornet's nest" continues to typify activi ties of the community. ASTERS 3 DOZ. $1.00 Many Other Plants 207 E.
