Portugal
In Race :;
With Clock
By PETKR KNOX
LISBON UPI i Portugal's;
fight to hold together the last of;
the great European empires in
Africa is developing into a race
with the clock.
Defying the demands of native
nationalists to quit the continent
the Portuguese are throwing all
the resources they can muster in
to their two great southern Afri
can territories, Angola and Mo
zambique. They do not underestimate the
seriousness of the threat to their
position, but everywhere this cor
respondent went on a recent visit
to Portuguese Africa he heard
the same refrain: "Give us the
men and the money to develop
these lands and we will be here
forever."
As proof of their own faith in
the future the Portuguese are giv
ing development schemes top pri
ority and digging deep into state;
funds to back them.
Plugging their multiracial
segregation policy hard, they are.
encouraging the 10 million Aln
cans in the two territories to co
operate with the 500,000 Euro-
neans and show not only tnat
black and white can work togeth
er but profit from so doing.
The Portuguese pride them
selves above all else on knowing
no color bar. The races mingle
freely in schools and workshops,
cinemas, churches and beaches.
Africans Not Ready
They claim, however, that the
average Alrican has still not
reached the stage of development
where he and his fellow natives
can run a country alone.
The Portuguese refuse to share
the views freely expressed in the
United Nations that change in
Africa is inevitable and that they
must sooner or later pull out.
In Angola and Mozambique1
there are doubters who will tell
you, "If we are slill here in five
years' time these will be great
countries. But will we be?
The optimists are more num
erous.
It is rare to find any European
in the Portuguese territories whol
intends to give in without a fight.
People are not pulling out in
the face of danger, they are mov
ing in.
In Angola in the first 11 months
of last year 45.039 persons en
tered the territory while 29.000
left.
Yet it was in Angola that the
lirst anti-Portuguese rebellion be
gan in lDfil and is still troubling
tne authorities in the north of the
country. An estimated eight per
cent of Angola is in rebellion.
The Portuguese are confident
they can contain the challenge to
tneir authority. They have moved
some 40.000 troops into Africa
from Europe and, outside the af
fected area, life goes on normally.
Strife Avoided
In Mozambique there has been
no strife and hopes are high that
it win tie avoided.
The May summit meeting of
Alrican leaders in Addis Ababa
made it clear that the nationalist
leaders on the continent are en,

Scientist
Shortage

NEW YORK (UPI I - If only
5 per cent of the 1.3 million phys
ical scientists and engineers in
the United States were lo devote
a few days each year to educa
tional instruction, the nation's
junior and senior high school stu
dents would have direct access to
65,000 of the finest technical
brains in the world.
So says David Sarnoff, chair
man of the board of the Radio
Corporation of America, who de
veloped a pioneering program in
education designed to produce a
greater number of young scien
tists to meet a threatened nation
al shortage.
The program, sponsored joint
ly by the New York Board of
Education and RCA, brought em
inent scientists and engineers in
to the classrooms of four New
York junior and senior high
schools for more than 50 demon
strations and lectures on space
age technology.
It is my conviction, said
Sarnoff, "that our program, or
others similar to it, can be du
plicated wherever school systems
and technological facilities exist
side by side." 1
In the academic year just end
ed, more than 200 students par
ticipated in the program. It was
concluded by a reverse visit that
brought the students into RCA's
laboratories and space centers.
There, the students watched the
scientists who had visited them
in their classrooms actually at
work on projects ranging from
satellites to the optical behavior
of ions.
As this program has already
demonstrated, a bridge between
industrial science and the class
room can be efficiently and eco
nomically constructed," Sarnoff
said. In an informal survey con
ducted at the end of the program,
91 per cent of the participating
students said the course enriched
their science studies.

Dick hope to show in his study?

If the end is worn and is be

for broken springs, too.
Larger exhaust fans, either win
dow-mounted or placed in I h e
ceiling, will pull cool air through
the entire house.
These are kept in use through
the night, when outside air is cool
er. These fans replace the warmer
air inside. Effectively done, your
home can remain cool through the
daylight hours, too.
Window fans are large affairs
that are designed to be placed in
an open window with the full open

unit of the window.
Choose your location carefully.
If possible, use the window in
an upper floor on Ihe sunny side
of the house. Then open a win
dow on the shady side of the
house so that you replace warm
air with cool air.
Keep windows adjacent to the
fan closed. If you leave them
open, air will simply move from
the window alongside the f a n
right out through the fan again,
without ventilating the house.
An attic fan also moves the
air, only more efficiently. It
should be installed so that air is
drawn through the entire house.
The fan should be high and cen
trally located.
In a one-floor house, place the
fan in the ceiling, centered un
der the roof. In two-floor homes,
it can go in the ceiling of the
second floor, at the top of the
stairs.
There should be exhaust open
ings in the attic in the roof, ga
ble ends, under the eaves or, per
haps, a special dormer louver
should be provided. Openings
should be screened.
If the fan is mounted in the
wall of the attic, all other attic
openings should be scaled so the
fan does not simply pull a i r
through the attic.
Windows on the lower levels of
the house should remain open
during the night so that cool air
can enter to replace the hot air
being pulled out.

present stand and ascertain
whether it is increasing or de-

means by which ponderosa pine
trees exist under the present con
ditions of low precipitation; to
determine the origin of the stand
if possible and to determine the
impact of past and present land
use on the forest and immediate
vicinity.
To determine plant communi
ties and various relationships en
compassed in an ecological study,
data gathering was methodical.
In June. 1959, the work was be
gun by making compass and pac
ing traverses of roads, boundar
ies, section lines. Notes were
made of vegetation, topography,
tree growth, soil surface charac
teristics and other conditions. The
data supplied details for a map
of traversable roads.
Even the inexperienced eye
could tell that tli4 ponderosa pine
stands are very sparse when eval
uated by commercial forest stan
dards. And what of the encroach
ing sand dunes which border the
forest and cover much of it in
the form of low dunes or sand
sheets?
What scientific scheme would
provide statistics to answer those
questions about the past and fu
ture of the Lost Forest as well
as tell the present story?
When it came to sampling veg
etation, Berry used a system al
ready developed. This involved
use of plots which are adapted in
dimension to the size and area
of influence of individual plants.
For example, a smaller plot is
used for sampling grass than for
shrubs and trees.
Rectangular macroplots 50 by
100 . feet were established by
means of a compass, steel corner
stakes and previously measured
wire boundaries. "Within the 50
by 100 foot macroplot four indi
vidual transects each 2o leet in
length are located by random as
signment. Ten plots (4 by 5 feet)
are located systematically along
each of the random transects for
shrub evaluation. For grass and
torb evaluation, 10 plots of one
foot by two feet are located on
five-foot stations along the same
transects." Berry descrilws, all
part of the pre-designed system
"The underlying assumption is
tnat accuracy ol sampling is more
efficiently achieved with a larger
number of smaller plots than
with plots of greater size," Ber
ry said.
Opal Berry was on hand day
ny flay lo assist with tins de
tailed work. Their son, Larrv.
also proved a good assistant that
iirst summer, cither helping en
tertain the smaller members or
helping Dad stake out plots. Now
enrolled in college, Larry helped
in his grandfather's lumber yard
in Burns the second summer of
forest life.
But Opal had every skill need
ed lo be a good assistant. Be
sides being a homcmaker, she a
versatile, vivacious individual

cation field. We could easily ima

tiful tan "just happens" as you
work, she pointed out.
Ponderosa pine and western jun-
per were tne trees recoraea,
with only the latter existing out
side the forest boundaries. At the
same lime records taken in their
own weather station, compared
with available data from long
term study in the general area,
indicated there was little local
variation in precipitation. The
study of growth rings of trees
indicated that the climate had
been very similar for the past 700
years.
There must be another answer
lo a pine forest's existence where
rainfall average 9.5 inches per
year when these trees normally
require 16-20 inches.
Forest Keys hound
What about soils? Berry's stud
ies showed them to be character
ized by two major factors. One
is the nature of the ancient lake
bed which provides the parent
materials for many of the mod
ern soils. The other, the disposition
of the drifting sands from the
dried up lake bed and lake
shores. The sand had a profound
effect simply by covering the
soil to considerable depth.
The species of plants and their
relationship to each other are also
profoundly influenced by the
sand. Berry tells. In fact, the
sands are responsible for allow
ing the forest to maintain itsell
by compensating for the low pre-
ipitation through its high per
meability and its efficient reten
tion of moisture against evapora
tion.
Holding another key to survival
is the gray rabbit brush which
grows as a low shrub, sometimes
reaching 50 years in age.
The reconnaissance and estab
lishing of 30 macroplats during
the summer ol 19o9 rcvealea.
Berry records, "that the estab
lishing of pine seedlings nearly
always occurred under or very
close to gray rabbit brush plants.
In some areas, particularly open
sand, pine seedlings were found
to be relatively abundant but nev
er occurred except in conjunction
with one of these shrubs.
In the sands this shrub pro
tects seedlings from winds, high
soil temperatures, low humidities,
and excessive soil surtace dessi-
cation while leaving moisture ad
equate for seedling development.
Family Recreation
It was early to bed and early
to rise to take advantage of the
cool morning hours for work.
Family reading and singing, plus
plenty of imaginative games, gave
variety to the schedule. Dick's
technical library in an apple
box atop a tree limb was most
important to him. But the chil
dren had their own kind of books,
and Opal's collection of paper
backs was just right for sandy
conditions. There was time to re
read some of the classics and
browse through the moderns, too.
Visitors were frequent and
nearly every weekend there were
friends from Corvallis or Port
land, bringing fresh fruits and
vegetables and replenishing the
water supply. City people enjoy
getting into quiet, primitive areas
it was proven.
A trip to the big sand dunes
would provide hours of entertain
ment. Jumping, rolling and dig
ging were always fun. The sand
was moist and inviting under a
foot or so of warm, dry layer.
Then there was the big day
every three weeks when the fam

ily made the 121-mile journey to
Burns. This meant a visit with
Larry, as well as Opal's parents;
clothes were washed and dried
i but rarely was there time for
roning i and, of course, thev
brought back a fresh food supply.
The first meal back in the forest
was always charcoal broiled
chicken, the most perishable of
the fresh meats they selected. An
earthen cellar assured cool water
and juices, always providing re
freshment.
Homeward Round
Data collected, there was time
for a few days of fishing before
the homeward trek. Along with
the facts and figures, soil sam
ples, pine tree cores, and insects
for the school terrarium went
some pine cones collected from
four trees in widely separated
portions of the Lost Forest. For
comparative germination studies,
cones were also collected from
three other sites of similar ele
vation.
A year of study remained in
laboratory testing and the writ
ing of the document. Here Berry
analyzed soils, carried out seed
germination and drought resis
tance tests, studied tree cores to
show annual growth, and assem
bled weather information. Sever
al brief visits to the forest pro
vided additional data.
In setting down the results of the
research, Berry recalled evidence
of land use grazing, skid trails
around mill sites from light log
ging operations. But these had
only a minor impact when com
pared to the sand's effects. Added
to the lake sand were the upper
layers of soil blown off land
cleared early in the century by
homesteaders lured by glamor
ous advertising. By 1920 nearly
all had left.
Whence came the forest? Ber
ry says it "appears to be a sur
vivor of a more extensive pon
derosa pine forest which was iso
lated by the late post glacial
lakes rather than by encroaching
desert, Ponderosa pine pollen
along with the pollens of chen-
opods, grass and possibly juniper
were found in Mt. Mazama ash
near the center of the forest."
The presence of the pine pol
len in Mt. Mazama pumice sedi
ments indicates, he ieels, that the
forest existed near its present lo
cality, at least as a few trees,
approximately 6,400 years ago.
And "barring the introduction
of some exotic enemy or disas
trous fire, the forest will prob
ably continue to exist and repro
duce itself," the thesis testifies.
And so families may continue
to enjoy this oddity called Ihe
"Lost Forest," finding content
ment in isolation. If initial con
sideration matures (he forest,
Fossil Lake and the adjacent sand
dunes may be designated as a
recreational area.
Improved access roads will
mean wider use. The search for
fossils will continue. Shouts of
laughter will come from tum
bling, rolling figures on the sand
hills. And, perhaps, someone will
think to look for a small pine
seedling 'neath a seemingly
worthless brush plant. Then, like
the Bcrrys, they'll really "find"
the Lost Forest.
