Klamath Basin Residents Will See Eclipse Of Sun jllKRALD AND NEWS, Klamath Falls, Oregon The first major solar eclipse visible in the United States since April 28, ViZl will be on display to residents of the Klamath Bas in about noon Saturday, but peo ple would be wise to let the phenomenon pass unnoticed. The word of caution is from the National Society for the Pre vention of Blindness which states that viewing the spectacle through smoked glass, exposed photo graphic negatives or colored bot tles can result in incurable burns of the eye retina from infra red rays of the sun. : Dr. John Ferree, executive di rector of the national society, warned that there is no safe meth od of looking directly into the eclipse without risking incurable eye burns. "Normally, the sun is much too bright for a person to view di- Nixon Blasts "Concessions In Test Ban FRANKFURT, Germany UP1 Former Vice President Rich- aid M. Nixon Tuesday said any further Western concessions in nu clear test ban talks would be a victory for communism." Nixon, on an extended vacation tour with his family, told United Press International, I leel we have made quite sufficient con cessions on a nuclear test ban treaty." "If we make any further con cessions in Moscow, the treaty would be a victory for commu nism," Nixon said, referring to the Anglo-American talks going on now with the Soviet Union. "On the other hand, if we en ter the discussions hard-headed and with a realistic understand ing of Soviet-aims, we may very well achieve an acceptable treaty," the defeated 1960 GOP candidate for president said. Discusses Presidential Race Nixon, accompanied by his wife and two daughters and friends, also discussed the coming 1964 presidential race. "I should have something to say in about three months. If you say anything now you put yourself out on a limb. All those who will be candidates will have to declare themselves within three months and then I'll be able to throw my support to the man I believe can do the best job," Nixon said. "I definitely will not declare myself a candidate," he said. Nixon, pausing in Frankfurt on a hop from Switzerland to Hun gary, spoke about New York Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller's charges that extreme right-wingers hope to gain control of the Republican party. "Can Make Trouble" "It's true that the extreme right wing the nuts or the kooks as we call them in Califor niacan make plenty of trouble for us as they did for me in California," Nixon said, referring apparently to his unsuccessful bid for the California governorship last year. Nixon said the GOP's extreme right wing is "potent, noisy and well-financed, but I do not think they' will dominate the conven tion," in which the GOP will pick its presidential candidate next year. Nixon said it is true that "the extreme right wing is behind Sen. Barry Goldwaler n o w. But I do not think he is one of ( them. And I am sure he must regard them as a liability just as I do." Some extreme right-wingers re gard the Republican senator from Arizona as "too liberal" Nixon said. rectly. But during an eclipse enough light is blocked out to permit easy observation," he said. This is when the ravs do their damage unnoticed, because the retina is not sensitive to pain," he concluded. When the burn is serious enough to scar that small por tion of the retina where the rays were locusea, no treatment can cure it," he warned. The scar causes a defect of vision which may show up as a dark spot on whatever the eye is observinn at the time. Dr. William Shackelford, nresi. dent of the Oregon Ootomelric Association, advised potential ob servers that their "best bet is to read about the eclipse alter it happens." But Dr. Seth Kerron. Klamath County Health Officer, said that the eclipse may be viewed safely imuugn smonea glass tor several seconds at a time. He emnha. sized the importance of observ ing the stellar attraction for only a moment or two at a time and stated that two pecks should be sufficient. The celestial show is sched uled to start 11:04 a.m. .and will reach its peak at 1:28 pn. when the moon will eclipse about 55 the sun's surface will be cov ered. A safe method of observing the eclipse has been advanced by the Washington State Medical As sociation and consists of punch ing a hole in a card to project tlie sun's image on a screen. per cent or tnc sun s surface.

Box 426, who is affiliated with Oregon Technical Institute, is one of 650 registered medical tech. nologists who received latest ad vances in laboratory teehniouos at the 25th annual convention of the American Medical Technolo gists at Norfolk, Va., late last month. The theme of the silver anni versary meeting was "Mediral Technology and the American Medical Technologist." With edu cation being the key to AMT progress, the scientific seminar featured noteworthy scientists, whose contributions to the health of humanity have been hailed universally. Tlie observer then always has his back to tlie sun and avoids any direct exposure of his eyes. A simple modification of this method might be to make a hole in one end of an open car ton and direct the hole toward the sun so that an image of the sun is formed on the opposite wall of the carton, the association added. There will not be another eclipse of tlie sun visible in any part of the United States until 1970, and not until 2017 will a solar eclipse be visible to so many Americans as during this month. Despite the infrequency of tlie occasion, people should direct their eyes away from the eclipse and, if they choose, take note of tlie occurence wlien it is depicted later on television. 00 PERCENTAGE OF SUN'S DIAMETER COVERED BY MOON AT LOCATION INDICATED DAWSON vA-S Cj , 4fl 5"3 1 Xjbs.

The action set the stage for a second congressional scrap this year over continuation of the Mexican program past its sched uled Dec. 31 termination date. The House earlier defeated a bill to extend tlie program (yr. two years without change. The committee approved the bill by Sens. Gordon Allott and Peter H. Dominick, Colorado Republi cans, on an 11-5 roll call vote. Under the Allott-Dominick bill, authorization for importing bra- ecros Mexican farmhands would continue through Dec. 31, 1964 with no change in other terms of tlie basis bracero low. The Kennedy administration re commended a one-year extension coupled with new restrictions de signed to reduce the impact of tlie program ot domestic workers. Farm spokesmen urging exten sion of the program have main tained that many farmers in parts. of California and some other stales, mainly in the Southwest, would be hit hard by a cutoff of Mexican labor because they con tend they could not get enough domestic labor at critical harvest Found Guilty FORT SMITH, Ark. (UPD A jury found Spec. 4 Phillip C. Dim- ick Jr. of Jefferson, Ore., guilty of involuntary manslaughter Tues day in the stabbing of another man May 31. Dimick had faced first degree murder charges in the slaying of Denver Hubbard, 23, Van Burcn Arm. Another soldier, Pfc. John P. Meekma, testified Hubbard struck Dimick before tlie stabbing.

Percentages on Newsmap indicate amount of the sun's area apparently covered by the moon in each locality. CAUTION should be taken in viewing the eclipse. The eye can easily be burned.
