C. 76 61 .21 Listening Device Detects 'Silence' Palo Alto, Calif. lliPl) A super sensitive listening device developed by a Palo Alio electronics firm is helping to make life in space safer. The device, called-an ultrasonic translator, is able to pick up the "silent" sound of oxynen escaping from holes smaller in diameter than a human hair. With it, technicians can check for leaks in the complex double wall space suits worn by astronauts.

They also can track down leaks in other pressure and vacuum systems In the missiles and space program. The device, developed by Delcon Corporation, can make it possible to hear sounds ordinarily audible only to. dogs and cats. Delcon also markets the battery operated device to private firms for finding leaks in Zip stands for Zone Improvement Plan, the project of the United States post office department, which will go into effect July 1. But it also signifies Just what the dictionary definition states "To move or act with speed," Acting Postmaster Al Hradlord, Chester suilman, superintendent of mails, and Boyce Kellogg, assistant superintendent of mails, have explained in announcing the Medford post office's participation in the new program.

After July 1, anyone living in the Medford area will be living in "975." That's the Zip code number for the section to be served by the Medford post office. Speed Mail Movement Adoption of this code number will speed up movement of the mails in all parts of the nation and the first thing for local individuals to remember, Bradford emphasized, is to put the code number on return addresses. Those living within Medford will add an "01," those under Central Point delivery an "02." Other zone digits, as the latter numbers are called, will be announced in the near future. The Zip code is designed to speed delivery of out-of-town mail, lessening the chances for letters to go astray and the necessity of reworking a great volume of mail, the Medford staff related. The new designation number consists of five digits.

The first digit, or "9," stands for the Pacific Coast. The second number, in this case the "7," signifies Oregon; the third, the "5," identifies the sectional 'center, the city of Medford, and adjacent areas. Placing Code Number In addressing mail the Zip Code number (complete) should be placed on the same line and one space after the name of the state to which the letter is being sent, Bradford said. For example: Mr. John Doe 626 State St.

Medford, Oregon 97501 Or if writing to someone under Central Point delivery: Mr. John Doe 626 State st. Central Point, Oregon 97502 Using the Zip code in return addresses will speed delivery throughout the nation, Bradford advised, particularly in dealing with firms or agencies handling a large volume of man. "The company to which you are writing can oftc presort electronically all future mail ings directly to you, by-pass-ing a number of mail handlings," he explained. Hatfield Apology Asked by Bircher Eugene It'Pl) The Oregon coordinator of the John Birch Society, Leslie Fleming of Eugene, Wednesday demanded that Gov.

Mark Hatfield apologize for remarks he made at the Western Governors' conference about the so. ciety. Fleming said Hatfield was quoted as saying at the conference that the John Birch Society is not a fascist organization but "has some individuals equally dangerous." Fleming said various members of the organization have tried to find out from the governor who these individuals arc. But he said Hatfield has refused to disclose names. Fleming said the governor should either name the persons of whom he spoke at Phoenix, Ariz, at the governor's conference or apologize to the society.
