DINING OUT
The Captains Table,
By JOHN M. ROSSON

| The specials include "all
lump imperial crab" sword
fish platter and an extremely
tempting offering called a
"Bish" Ka-Bob: bay scallops,
Iswordfish, lobster chunks
jumbo shrimp and other sea-
food selections beaded on a
skewer and interlaced with
chunks of onion, green peppers
and bite-size mushrooms. OF
course it is then broiled.
Your meal at The Captains
Table" land you don't have to
ask for it, begins with a hospi-
tally tray offering chilled cav
lar. a cut of bleu cheese, diced
hard-boiled egg, minced onions
and Melba toast.
Then comes the appetizer
which might be herring filets
in sour cream or Cherrystone
clans on the half shell. The
soup - as ours was - could be
crab jumbo. There also is clam
chowder and oyster stew in
cream.
Finding it tough to choose
an entree Chow can you pick
between a filet mignon and
poached Dover sole marguery?)
we settled on the double rack
rib lamb chops. We were glad
we did. The mint jelly was
plentiful, but this was one time
when we found the chops ex-
cellent without it.
With each entree comes a
crisp green salad, baked potato
with sour cream, and the days
fresh garden vegetable.
To top it off, we had rum
pie and coffee. The coffee, by
the way. does not come in a
cup. At The Table it's a pot
all yours and always on your
table.

Rightly or wrongly, and l

Marion for the economic dis

Tahitians used as extras.

To reaffirm this, Miss Shay
has returned, this time to the
Shoreham Blue Room and this
is the right showcase. Its So
phisticated air is the perfect
supplement to the elegant ia
cade she employs so deity as
a comic contrast to her less

hardly surprised to learn, just
keeps getting better than ever.
She is by now the complete
master Of the casual, low key
approach, Of the carefree man

planning show through. When
this lass gets out there relaxed
in the spotlight to report mel
odically on the lives and mores
of her kinfolk down in the hills,
she makes Perry Como look like
a case of coffee nerves.
You stand a good chance of

the Shay classics during one of
her Blue Room sessions
''Feudin', Fightin' and Fussin',"
Uncle Fud," Mountain GAL"
Plat River" Efficiency" and
so on. And if you don't hear
what you want, ask for it. Miss
Dorothy is a girl with a genuine
fear Of boring an audience. She

more doses are given.

The United States has plans
for a National Balloon Flight
Facility to encourage scientists
to probe the upper atmosphere
where weather secrets lie
hidden-with bigger, better and
safer balloons.
The facility would be set up
under the federaly funded but
Independently managed Ma
tional Center of Atmospheric
Research south of Boulder,
Colo.
A small group of engineers
to develop better techniqueS
would be set up. They would
provide the know-how for
launching big scientific pack
ages by balloon. 1t is expected
that many of these packages
later would be used in
satellites.
Plans Nearly Final
DR.. Walter Orr Roberts, di-
rector of the NCAR, unveiled

Calm Appearance
Mrs. Metalious gives an ap-
pearance of ealmneSS; her
round face smiles quickly, her
sentences are filled with humor
and candor and a sprinkling of
four-letter words. She says one
of the main reasons she wrote
a series of her life for a ma
tional magazine was because
they pay well" and she de-
scribes the articles as what
happened since 'Peyton Place
and all that jazz, the second

the know-how. If a scientist
has an experiment he wants
to send up, he must spend
about two years becoming a
balloonist, under present cir
cumStanceS.
DR.. Roberts believes this
wastes manpower and discour-
ages the use of big balloons. BY
big" he said he meant 10 mil
lion cubic feet, capable of
carrying a one or two ton pay
load to 10000 feet.
He said techniques are
needed for launching balloons
under adverse conditions. THE
chances today of getting a big
balloon off on the day planned
are five to one against you"
because the weather must be
ideal.
Thus, it is now next to i'm
possible to send up balloons
from three locations on a day

Vital to Weather Study
Big balloons operating at II
to 48 mile attitudes can be
used to study atmospheric
chemical processes, dust, rain

all of which may help create
the weather at ground level.

the weaker it gets, and mark
edly so.
With a simple Echo-type
satellite, the signal may have
to travel 1000 miles, getting
weaker every minute. You cope
with this situation by sending
a very strong signal or receiv-
ing with a very sensitive an
tenna. Such ground installa-
tions are quite costly.
But there is another way of
doing it. Step up the signal in
mid flight and you don't have
to worry about costly trans
mitting and receiving equip
ment: stations several times
smaller and cheaper will serve.
Signal Step-up In "ReIay"
How do you step up the
signal? You use an active
real-time satellite" such as the
Space Agency plans in the Re-
lay program late in the 1960s.
ACTIVE" means the satellite
takes part in the transaction;
"real-time" means its role is
instantaneous and does not in
volve storage of information,
as is the case with the military
Courier.
AS with Courier, a large
number of relay satellites
would be necessary to provide
continuous worldwide radio,
telephone or televiSion service.
Relay Phase I, with satellites
orbiting at 1,500-2,000 miles,
would require more than Phase
II, in which the satellites
would be three times that high.
But for the present, Relay is
just in the study stage. First
steps toward experiments with
civilian-type active satellites
may come as. early as next
year. A real system in opera
Cion is a long way in the
| future.
