V- -N 'V. jjf 2 5 i Qfe, Veteran Solon's Campaign Aimed At New Arizonans By LESTER N. INSKEEP Following a tight schedule that would exhaust many candidates half his age, Arizona's 84-year-old Sen. Carl Hayden told a group of approximately 100 here yesterday that he believes settlement of the U.S.-Mexico Colorado FFA Leadership Meet Opens Tonight At UA John N. Christianson, assistant vice president of the Valley National Bank, Phoenix, will address the opening session tonight of the 33rd annua State Future Farmers of America Leadership Conference.

The convention opens at 7:30 In the Liberal Arts Auditorium of the University of Arizona. About 600 future farmers, parents and guests are expected to attend. Christianson, who will speak on "Who Does What to Whom?" formerly was assistant to the president of Quality Park Envelope of St. Paul, and director of labor negotiations for the Twin City Envelope Manufacturers Assn. Officially opening the conference will be Ivan Hunt, Arizona FFA president.

During tonight's ceremony the Star Greenhand of Arizona award will be presented to a high school student. Four students will be named as District Star Greenhands. The top Greenhand prize designates the student as the outstanding member among the FFA freshman group in Arizona. The winner is selected nthe basis of his supervised farming program and leadership activity. Presenting the award will be James Prewitt, National FFA vice president, of Kirbyville, Tex.

(Spe cial) Metals chilled to fantastically low temperatures sometime take on new roles.

Scientists say they may: Shield spacecraft from bombardment from deadly high-energy particles. Larry vast voltages of elec tric power more cheaply. Provide better circuits for electronic computers. And among other things, permit gyroscopes that in theory could run forever. These crystal-ball views were given the first International Seminar for Science Writers by researchers specializing in cryogenic, the physics of extreme cold.

When they say extreme, they mean extreme. Stanford scientist William M. Fairbank said he and his colleagues consider any tern perature above one degree Kelvin to be too hot for their purposes. One degree Kelvin would be a fraction under minus 459 degrees on your back porch thermometer. Dr.

Fairbank went further. He predicted that within three years they'll be cooling materials down to one-thou sandth of one degree Kelvin. The seminar is being spon sored at the U.S. Science Ex hibit at the World's Fair by the exhibit itself and the American Institute of Phys ics. Taking part are 50 in vited writers from six coun tries.

They were reminded bv the Stanford scientist that achiey ing such low temperatures is made possible by using the coldest known substance liquid helium. Americans have held a lead in the cryogenics race, partly because this country has corner on the helium market The reason some metals and certain compounds change under extreme cold is that the movement of molecules other wise active in all matter vir tually ceases. Ideally, the temperature for this work would be absolute zero, or 459.67 degrees below zero Fahrenheit. Then there would be no molecular motion at all. But Fairbank believes "that state of perfect order" is im possible.

When they get al most to that point, he said the molecules continue "a sort of St. Vitus Dance." His brother, Dr. Henry A Fairbank, head of the Duke University physics depart ment, said that when metals can be super-cooled they be come super-conductors. inese noiseless super-con ductors are without resist ance. They require no voltage and neither expend nor need energy.

However, they must be kept super-cold. German-born Dr. Bernd Matthias of the University of California at La Jolla reported he has recently found that the metal can be rendered superconducting Now known to be capable of this are about two-dozen metals (including zinc but not copper) and nearly 1,200 com pounds. Engineers should be able to build a supercooled gyro scope, William Fairbank add ed, that would never stop running, at least in theory In practice no one has been able to, he admitted, grinning But he pointed out that MIT men kept a cryogenic coil going two years. It fi nally stopped when they for got to put in more liquid hen urn.

The youths were ordered to make $80 retribution following a juvenile court hearing. The boys said they didn't know the stakes, outlining a proposed road in the Graham Mountains, were still to be used.

Because they removed them, the survey will have to be done again at an estimated $80 cost. were licensed at the shelter. Licenses for any dog male, female or spayed female are $2.50. They cannot be obtained without a vaccination certificate. Warm Tucsonans Escape To Hills A near record total of sweltering Tucsonans swarmed up into the higher elevations of the Santa Cata-lina Mountains last week to escape the near record heat wave, Forest Service officials reported yesterday.

This is almost double the average number of people who drive up at least as far as the Molina Basin Picnic Area. The Sabino and Bear Canyon Recreation Areas also showed heavy use with 9,118 visits recorded. River controversy is near. He added, however, that it probably will require a U.S. loan to provide a drainage system that will allow reduction of the alkali content on Mexican cotton lands which receive 1.5 million acres an nually of Colorado River water.

Hayden reached Tucson fol lowing a tour of the Ft. Hua-chuca Army Electronics Proving Grounds and meetings with supporters in Nogales and Safford. He appeared tired but alert. The meeting here marked the official opening of Hayden campaign headquarters at 21 N. Stone Ave.

He had a difficult time making his way through the crowd to the speaker table, where he was introduced by Joe Huerta, county Democratic chairman. Dean of Congress with 50 years of service behind him Hayden said the "talk, talk" of the filibuster on the communications satellite bill gave him an opportunity to get away from Washington for a few days. He was surprised to learn from newsmen present that the Senate, for the first time in more than 35 years, had voted to limit debate, thus ending the filibuster. The "silent senator trom Arizona quipped that: "This means each senator will be allowed one hour to talk on the bill. I may even talk for an hour but I doubt it." Of his campaign for reelection at an advanced age, Hayden said: "The people of Arizona have elected me so many times (he went to Congress when Arizona attained statehood in 1912) I thought it had become a habit, so I decided I would stay around for awhile." He emphasized, however, that federal census figures show there are 100,000 more people in Arizona than when he last ran, most being in Maricopa County.

"It is important for them to know that I have been around for a long time," he said. In two days of travel throughout the state, Hayden has visited, among other places, the Glen Canyon Dam water and power project and the city of Yuma, which particularly is interested in ending the dispute with Mexican farmers over the quality of the water being delivered from the Colorado River. Calling attention to the fact this water is delivered by treaty, Hayden said it is important to good relations between the two nations that there be an early and amicable settlement. The Mexicans have been contending that there are more salts, in the water it receives than in the water used by Arizona farmers. Hayden said, however, that there is an excessive amount of alkali in the Mexican soil and it can be reduced through proper drainage.

He explained that, without the drainage, the alkali continually moves Fred Vance will continue as general manager of the two Alvarado stations and Gordon (Doc) Hamilton will remain as manager of KVOA, according to the sales an nouncement. McKinnon acquired KVOA seven years ago and the Albuquerque station in 1957. He said one of the reasons tor selling was that several of his partners were in ill health and wanted to liquidate their holdings. He now has an application before the FCC for a TV station in Corpus Christi, Tex. In addition, McKinnon operates six weekly or semi-weekly newspapers in the San Diego area, plus Sentinel Savings and Loan in San Diego.

Sold CARL HAYDEN Two Miners Injured By Explosions Tucsonans Are Hurt While Setting Fuses ORACLE, Aug. 14 (Special) Two Tucson men were critically injured Tuesday morning by a series of explosions at a small copper mine about eight miles southwest of here. Merley Fairless, 40, of 1101 E. McArthur was listed in critical condition last night at San Manuel Hospital. He was unconscious after suffering extensive lacerations to his eyes, face, chest, legs and arms from flying rocks.

Dan Nelson, 48, of 1060 S. Sidney was reported in satisfactory condition but with severe lacerations on his back. Sheriff's deputy D. W. Olds said the two men were setting fuses for a series of blarts and evidently one of the fuses was too short.

Four men were working at the nearby Little Hill Mine when they heard six to 10 blasts. They reported seeing Nelson emerge momentarily from the mine; he then reentered to rescue Fairless. Both were taken immediately to San Manuel Hospital. Nelson, though conscious, was unavailable tor comment last night. toward the surface, where it can damage crops.

Questioned regarding nis negative vote on the medicare bill, Hayden said the measure was deficient in that there is a whole generation of people who never had a chance to buy medical protection. It is these who need help, he declared. Hayden, who is chairman of the powerful Senate Appropriations Committee, said he will support a program of medical care for people who need it, "without bankrupting the country." He predicted that a more acceptable bill on the subject will be submitted and passed. Awarded Contract PRESCOTT, Aug. 14 UP) Tanner Brothers of Phoenix has been awarded a $124,400 contract for street improvements in Prescott.

The workmen, employes of the Lane Coating Service, told deputies they first heard a pop, "then we saw a crack in the ceiling moving east." "Somebody shouted 'Let's get out of One ot the men said air pressure from the collapsing roof almost blew them out the door. The break apparently start ed at the southwest corner. By the time the dust settled three-quarters of the roof had caved in.

All but a few bowling lanes on the west side were covered with debris. There are 40 lanes in the building. The east wall was leaning badly last night, and was expected to collapse also. Sher iff deputies, Arizona Hang ers and a crew trom tne county civil defense unit roped off a wide area around the building to protect the hordes of curious. Nobody could say last night what caused the collapse.

A few believed lightning ing. On a normal business night, have been inside, an owner closed since last Thursday for men were inside yesterday and (Jack Sheaffer photos) struck the roof, but deputies said they could find no evidence of that. One of the concern's investors, L. Jo Hall, said there are at least 150 persons in the building on a normal business night. "There would have been hell to pay if we had been open yesterday," he added.

First reports of the fall-in reached the sheriff's office about 5:30 p.m. The building was appraised recently at $860,000. Most of it was destroyed. Some worth of pin-setters and other equipment was also ruined. The building was opened officially May 8, but Hall said there had been some bowling earlier.

He said also the construction and architecture had been praised by building men. The whole concern was expected to be sold at a sheriff's auction next month as a result of a foreclosure on a $115,000 second mortgage. But Babe Hall, who with his father L. Jo Hall, and Tony Telesco, own 90 per cent of the stock, promised he would 4 m.K more than 150 persons would said. The business had been minor repairs.

C-C Due Award For Safety Check The Tucson Chamber of Commerce will receive a State Award of Excellence from the National Vehicle Safety-Check for Communities. Tucson was one of more than 4,500 cities participat ing in a national program to safety check vehicles; the lo cal program was sponsored by the chamber.

Frederick J. Brady, Health Department director, said yesterday. "During this period, we will try to vaccinate as many dogs in the city and county as possible." Originally, no time limit was set for the $1 vaccination program but members of the veterinary association told Brady at a special meeting Monday that many dog owners who ordinarily would come to them for this service have gone to the County Animal Shelter, where the charge is much less. "After this 60-day period we will not vaccinate any dogs except those that are admitted to the shelter for observation, treatment or some other cause," Ott Fritz, senior county sanitarian, who is in charge of the shelter, said. Persons may bring their dogs to the shelter, 802 W.

Speedway, Monday through Friday between 1 and 4:30 p.m. A veterinarian who is volunteering his services to the county will administer the vaccine. Citing the need for a crash anti-rabies program, Dr. Brady said that since the first of the year there had been 1,705 animal bite cases reported to the department, and two dogs in Pima County have died of rabies. "This spring one Tucson dog contacted the disease in Mexico and died here, while in June another dog was caught near Sonoyta," Dr.

Brady said. Although there have been no human deaths from rabies, the large number of persons bitten by animals increases the chance and every effort should be made to vaccinate as many dogs as possible, Dr. Brady said. Fritz said Monday that 173 dogs were vaccinated and 250 In Tucson, McKinnon was asked about the reported S3. 5 million purchase price, said to be in cash.

He replied: "It's hard to pin it down considerable real estate is involved it's somewhere in that vicinity." He indicated there were a number of other factors considered in arriving at the purchase price. "Mr. McCollough asked me to emphasize to the staff that he planned no changes," McKinnon The sale is subject to Federal Communication Commission approval. The FCC is on vacation in August, so an ap plication for sale approval won't be filed until next month. If approval is ob tained, Steinman is expected and owiing El Tanque Not Open, Averting Tragedy By DOYLE TRENT El Tanque Bowling Lanes, 6646 E.

Tanque Verde was a shambles last night after its roof, covering almost half a city block, collapsed. Damage was estimated at over $1 million to the building and equipment. Only four workmen were In the building yesterday and they managed to get out without injuries. A real tragedy was averted when the concern closed last Thursday for a week. Workmen were refinishing the bowling lanes and making corrections in the acoustics.

Strike Begins At Alabama Saturn Site HUNTSVILLE, Aug. 14 (Jf) A strike which could hinder this country's planned moon shot began here Tuesday. Six major Saturn projects et the Marshall Space Flight Center valued at $18 million are affected. As many as 40 projects at the center and the Army Ordnance Missile Command reportedly were affected by the strike which idled virtually all of the 1,500 building trades employes. Members of local 558 of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, set up picket lines, striking against Baraco Electrical Construction Co.

of Pensacola, Fla. The strike reportedly is in protest against the employment by Baraco of a few nonunion workers. A spokesman for the Marshall Center said Tuesday night: "These (six) projects are vital to the Saturn program. We have no indication of how long it will last. If it were to last long enough, it could prove detrimental to the Saturn program." Joining The Club MEXICO CITY, Aug.

The sale of KVOA and KOAT-TV in Albuquerque was announced in Tucson by Clinton McKinnon, of San Diego, president of Alvarado Television Co. Steinman Stations, of Lancaster, purchased the stations.

The Associated Press quoted Clair R. McCollough, president of Steinman, as saying the purchase with Mc Kinnon was reached last to take over the stations about I the end of the year. McCollough, who has been in 'broadcasting since 1029, is highly respected in the field, according to McKinnon. He helped write the TV code and is chairman of the Board of the National Assn. of Broadcasters.

Steinman controls WGAL-TV in Lancaster plus five Pennsylvania radio stations and one in Deleware. In addition, the Steinman family controls the Lancaster New Era and (Lancaster) Intelligencer Journal. The family has owned the Lancaster newspapers since before 1800, making them some of the longest family-held publications in the country, McKinnon said. mmJ lam i mm rv. i Pioneers' Historical Society: Maxmilian and Car-lotta exhibit, 8 a.m.
