Satellite Balloon Echo 1
THE ABILENE REPORTER-NEWS 12-B
Abilene, Texas, Thursday Morning, August 10, 1961___________
Due Honor on Anniversary
The dramatic flight of Vostok II,
Soviet Russia's second manned earth
satellite is taking the play away from
the first birthday—on Saturday—of
Echo I. the earth "satelloon." Never-
theless, Echo deserves some consider-
ation, if only because it is ordinarily
the only space object still in orbit
visible to the naked eye. (The occa.
sional exception is another U.S bal-
loon, polka . dotted Explorer IX.
launched last Feb. 16. which is visible
without the aid of instruments on an
extremely clear night.)
Echo w ill have traveled 138.136 000
miles by Saturday and will have made
4480 trips around the earth. It is the
Other Viewpoints
Socialized Power
The Odessa American:
The residents of Ohio "will be happy to
learn that they are once again being offered
an opportunity to pay part of the light bill
for several hundred thousand other Ameri-
cans in the far West "
That satiric observation was made in a
House speech by Representative Bow of
Ohio. His voice was raised in opposition to
two proposals which would expand federal
socialized power systems in Oregon. Wash
ington, and the Colorado River basin—paid
for, naturally, by all the taxpayers of the
country. One would authorize the construc-
tion of a nuclear power plant at Hanford,
Washington, to feed power into the Bonneville
Power Administration system even though
Bonneville has a surplus of electricity The
other provides for a federal network of trans-
mission lines in the Colorado Basin, even
though the private utilities in the region have
offered the use of their lines at low cost
Congressman Bow added: "The excuse is
to provide additional power with which Bonne-
ville can attract more industries into Wash-
ington and Oregon, these industries might
ba ones that would otherwise locate in our
state.”
These cogent objections to socialized power
apply, of course, to all the federal projects,
wherever located — in the Southeast, the
Southwest, or anywhere else The residents
of all other regions pay a part of the light
bills run up by the customers of socialized
sy stems. And, if industries are attracted by
"low" power rates, it is because subsidies
paid for by the taxpayer at large make them
“low."
It would be equally reasonable equally fair
say, for the taxpayers to pay for a part of
the steel or any other material or service
used by such an industry.
largest (but not heaviest) man-made
object ever flung into space.
Old Echo is a kind of satellite screw-
ball. It was originally expected to
stay aloft only a few weeks, but now
the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration reports that it will
probably be up there for several more
years. It is so big—100 feet in dia-
meter—and so light—137.4 pounds—
that the gentle pressure of sunlight
causes it to rise instead of fall.
It now ranges between an apogee
or high point of 1075 miles above the
earth and a perigee or low point of
846 miles. It has lost all of its original
gas inasmuch as a pound or more of
micrometeorites have passed through
its thin plastic skin, but it is still
capable of transmitting radio and tele-
vision waves.
Echo remains circular because in
the emptiness of space there is no
force to make it change shape. In
early August it re-entered the travel
phase in which it orbits over large
parts of the United States at night.
Echo I—so appropriately named—
was designed to aid world-wide com-
munications by reflecting TV and ra-
dio waves from the earth. In its first
test, made as it completed its initial
orbit, a tape-recorded message by
President Eisenhower was transmitted

COMMENT—What makes you
say he is a good doctor" Prob-
ably for the very reason you
seem to be complaining about.
He’s careful. He’s alert. He’s al-
ways thinking: I don't want to
let TB, or cancer of the lung get
a jump on my patient And if
you complain of indigestion that
hangs on he wants to be sure
that ulcer or cancer isn't sneak-
ing up on you.
I agree that he shouldn’t be tell-
ing you about his suspicions and
worrying you unnecessarily But
he should go about his diagnosis
whether it scares you or not
it’s mueh—betler—to- be-a little
scared at all the tests and have
a better chance of staying alive,
than to have a doctor who doesn't
take them because he doesn't
want to frighten you.
If your doctor is a worrywart,
be thankful it's because he's wor-
ried about keeping you in good
health I've been thinking about
the basic difference between the
legal and medical professions. In
law you are innocent until proven
guilty In medicine the good doc-
tor treats you as if you are guil-
ty until proved innocent. In do-
ing so, he is less likely to over-
look serious disease until it is
too late.
