Holmes Seeks
Official Rule :
SALEM (UPD-tfov. . Robert D.
Holmes has asked ah attorney
general's opinions concerning the
right of appointment of the next
Oregon secretary of state.
The opinions are expected with
in a few days.
The governor announced last
month that he would appoint Dave
O'Hara, former state elections
chief, to the post. '
He said he was asking the opin
ions because newspaper reports
indicated a conflict between the
legal advice given him and that
given Gov.-elect Mark Hatfield,
Hatfield believes he has the
right to appoint his successor to
office.
Gov. Holmes posed these ques
tions to the attorney general:
..Is it necessary that the incum
bent secretary of state, who is
the gov. - elect of Oregon resign
from office before being eligible
to take the oath of office as governor?
..If a resignation is required, to
whom and in what manner is the
resignation to be submitted? ;
..Assuming that the present sec
retary of state decides to accept
the position of governor to' which
he has been elected, who has
authority to appoint his successor
as secretary of slate the incum
bent governor or the gov.-elect. ;
The governor said it was his
desire that the question be settled
"in an orderly manner and with
out any disturbance of the pub
lic s business.
The governor claimed he had
the legal right to appoint Hat
field's successor.
'In order to prevent last min
ute confusion, however, I consider
it advisable to submit a request
for formal opinions from the at
torney general on these points,"
the governor said.
Opinions of the attorney general
have the effect of lay until tested
in the courts. ';
New Gadqet Simplifies Dressing
By CAY PAULEY '".
' UPI Woman's Editor
NEW YORK (UPD First it
was the thorn. Then came the but
ton; the safety pin and the zipper.
Now, it is the cocklebiir xlosure
which is helping hold us together.
Some apparel manufacturers re
fer to this latest gadget lor sim
plification of dressing as the "zir
perless zipper".-' Its" -'Arftencari
maker calls it Velcro, thi man
made cocklebur of nylon, i; , .
Designer Pauline Trigere first
called the closure to my Attention.
She used it on leopard' skin' belts,
adjustable to any waistline be
cause no buckle was necessary.
Put the belt together at any point
and it stayed put. '; :
But today, - it s spreading
throughout the clothing industry
and soon will be holding baby's
diaper on. It fastens men's trou
sers, ladles' raincoats, sports jack
ets, children s clothes, skirts,
belts, and has potential use to put
together everything from brief
cases to slip covers.
Donald C. Webster, vice presi
dent in charge of the New York
office for the firm, which has
headquarters in Manchester, N.H.,
said the fastener is the, brain child
of a Swiss inventor Georges de
Mestral. Mestral, on a hike, start
ed wondering why cockleburs cling
so tenaciously to clothing.',
Seven years, ago he made the
first "bur" but it wasn't until five
months ago that the first patented
closure was available in the Unit
ed States.
Now, the firm is marketing 125,
000 yards a week, expects its sales
to double by summer, reports that
!)5 apparel manufacturers will use
It in their spring lines and hopes
within a few months to have it
available for the home seamstress.
The firm is "as entangled with
cockleburs as a ' spaniel's cars",
quipped the: : DuPont company's
employe magazine.
Here's how the closing works;
One nylon fabric strip has bristles
of filament -packed 500 to 600 per
square . inch; each tipped with mi
croscopic, "hooks.; The matching
strip is covered with-soft loops, of
yarn. I'ress uieiu lugemei- miiu
they cling. "!
Pull apart and they separate
easily as the spring hooks progres
sively lose their grip. The -strips
range from inch to two Inches
in width. 1 "v
Velcro is washable, can be:, dry
cleaned, won't corrode and won t
jam. Which also means it -won't
be subject to all those anecdotes
which for years hnvd plagucd.'the
zipper. j'.
