F. experiment WASHINGTON (UPI) Millions of tiny copper fibers were begin ning to disperse in a polar orbit around the earth Monday as part of a controversial Air Force com munications experiment. The Air Force announced Sun day that a canister containing the 400 million needles called dipole were dumped from a satellite launched Thursday from Point Ar guello, Calif. Radar sightings show the fibers, each about one-third the diameter of a human hair, are beginning to spread. They are expected to fan out into a narrow ring about the earth taking several months to complete the circle 40.000 miles in circumference and about 2,000 miles high. The belt will be used to bounce radio signals back to earth over great distances. The Air Force said the dipole belt is practically invulnerable to physical damage and is especially useful in long distance microwave communica tions. Some scientists have opposed the experiment saying it would clutter space with trash and im- Sex bills go to Governor SALEM (UPD-The first two of six sex offender bills were sent to the governor's desk Monday. The measures cleared the leg islature when the House concurred in Senate amendments to bills providing enhanced penalties for sex offenders and stiffening laws against "peeping toms." A third bill, involving jurisdic tion over sex offense cases where the parties include children under i6, went to a conference commit tee to iron out House-Senate dif ferences. Two more bills on juvenile jurisdiction and civil commitment of sexually dangerous persons have cleared the House and are in Senate committees. The sixth, providing for central reporting of all sex offenses, is being redrafted in the House Judi ciary Committee. The House passed a $32.7 mil lion budget for the state's mental health division including Oregon State hospital, Dammasch, Fair- view Home, Mid-Columbia, East ern Oregon State Hospital, and Mental health clinics. Rep. Stafford Hansell, R - Her- miston, said the Ways and Means Committee cut the governor's proposed budget by a not $262,125 to reflect a decline in patient population at tlie State Hospital, Here's a new reason why the sign of WcpfyMfouHf is America's First Choice: Now Hnmble brings you a new multi-grade motor oU that exceeds by far the toughest .

Astronomers also fear the fibers might reflect back to earth a con fusing jumble of radio signals that ordinarly might pass into space. Dubbed the west Ford Project, the experiment is being conducted for the Air Force by the Lincoln Laboratory of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Information on the experiment is being distributed internationally to help world optical and radio astronomers in making independ ent observations. The Air Force said it hoped some observations could be made of the needles by a worldwide camera network oper ated by the Smithsonian Astro physical Observatory. The Air Force previously tried a similar experiment using 75 pounds of the needles but was un successful when they apparently failed to spread into orbit. Fifty pounds were used in the new ex periment. The dipole fibers are expected to disappear within five years as radiation pressure from sunlight forces them down into altitudes of greater atmospheric density where they will burn up.

The terms of the agreement al so prov ide that if the merger pro posal is consummated the South ern Pacific will acquire Rock Is land lines south and southwest of Kansas City "at a price to be determined on final conclusion of engineering studies now under way," the joint announcement by the three roads said. The three-way proposal, the an nouncement said, will be present ed "shortly" for approval by the boards of directors, and later by stockholders, of the Union Pacific and the Rock Island. If the plan clears these hurdles, the three lines will then seek authority from the Interstate Commerce Commission to put the arrange ment into effect. A merger of the Union Pacific and the Rock Island would give the Union Pacific its direct track age into Chicago from Omaha and Kansas City. In turn, it would provide the Rock Island with fi nancial resources to make needed equipment and property improve ments. Officials of the three railroads declined to speculate as to when the commission might approve the merger. They said the Union Pacific and Rock Island would call special meetings of their stockholders "at an early date." The proposed merger calls for the Union Pacific to exchange .718 of an authorized but unissued com mon share of its stock for each common share of Rock Island stock. The announcement did not disclose how much the Southern Pacific would pay for the Rock Is land properties. Union Pacific now has 22,429,235 common shares outstanding and Rock Island has 2,916.711 shares outstanding. The announcement said the three railroads contem plate that "this will be a tax free merger." BRANDO LEAVES HOSPITAL SANTA MONICA, Calif.
