Cold weather doesn't bother Cordelia Wysard as she frolics in the Pacific Ocean on an Hawaiian beach. Cordelia backs up Bank of Hawaii's report that tourists will become the Islands' largest industry in the next 10 years. Airlines have cut the time-distance to 7Vfe hours and within two years, or sooner, jets will bring the Islands within 4Vi hours of the West Coast. Most Hawaii visitors come from the West Coast and by 1960, tourist spending in Hawaii is expected to reach an annual $100 million. Is That So? On the U.S.S. Nautilus Come along, readers, for a dive on the first atomic-powered sub marine. You'll be welcomed aboard by the skipper, Cmdr. William R. Anderson, a calm, pleasant sub mariner just turned 36. You'll be given two badges by the officer of the deck to wear: one will read "Uncleared Visi tor" to indicate lack of appro priate security clearance ra- tings. The second is a "film badge" a radiation detector. It records the amount of 'radia tion you'll be exposed to be cause the shipo is going to be "hooked up" to the reactor. Af ter your trip, the film will be processed and analyzed to make sure the radioactive level aboard the boat was not harmful. It will be the thousanth dive of the boat, perhaps. Two hours before the sub gets under way, the engineering duty section begins pulling out the control rods in the nuclear reac tor. This starts the uranium core no larger than a golf ball, I'm told heating up to "critical" condition. By the time the boat is ready to shove off, the steam system is up to pressure and the engine room is "ready to answer bells." Instead of conventional diesel and electric power to drive the propeller, here we have the re mittor heating the water (or the liquid) until it vaporizes. This vapor under pressure is piped to the main propulsion turbines which turn the boat's two screws through reduction gears. As we cast off, and close the manhole hatches the boat push es off incredibly quiet. We knife through the choppy water and the ride is not smooth. Then as we reach the operating area. Captain Anderson orders: "Prepare to dive." Hull Openings Closed "Straight aboard," says the chief of the boat, indicating from his panel that all openings in the hull are closed. "Dive when ready," the skip per orders. "Clear the bridge," shouts the Officer of the Deck, and sounds o two blasts on the klaxon, "Ah-oo-gah, Ah-oo-gah.'"

By EUGENE BURNS Ranger-Naturalist - levers that admit sea water to the tanks as everyone scrambles for his undersea station. The bow planesman, sitting in his pilot-seat, pushes his control forward much like a pilot of a plane and the blunt nose of the Nautilus responds almost in stantly. Moments later, we are 10 fathoms (60) feet beneath the surface at periscope depth, the maneuver accomplished with re markable dispatch. The silence, spewed and ease of submerging are among the many ways the Nautilus differs from conventional submarines that are powered by diesel en gines which switch over to stor age batteries when the under water dive is made. Besides, the Nautilus is amaz ingly faster you may be sure she's doing over 20 knots, but the dials are covered with metal caps and canvas because this is top-secret operations and we landlubbers cannot see the top performance limits. Might Want Music While prowling around the ocean, you might like to have a soft drink from the soft drink machine or turn on the juke box for a late song hit. Naturally questions form. You might ask the executive officer, Lt. Warren R. Cobean Jr., "how long can we stay under?" "Indefinitely. In fact, we could go around the world sub merged without once coming up" he'll tell you, "but that's no fun. we'd miss shoreleave." The captain orders: "Surface." Three blasts are sounded on lie klaxon and the Nautilus surges easily upward into the bright sunlight. "Okay," let's head for the barn." And the dive is over.

UofO'DryZone' Gels Beer Licenses Eugene (W The so-called "dry zone" that shields Univer sity of Oregon students from the evils of drink sprang a leak Tuesday night. The Eugene city council voted to grant four class A package beer licenses within the dry zone. Final action would have to be taken by the Oregon Liquor Control commission. Council President Frank Schearer said that, in effect, the council no longer recognizes the j dry zone. Councilman Robert j Briggs, who described himself as had served as a '"smoke screen" for the university administration which, he said, should take more responsibility for curbing juvenile drinking on the cam pus. The council's action was op posed by the university, the Oregon Mothers organization, religious and temperance group. Wednesday, November 13. 1957 r! S rmmm0.

Finally she in i vited him to have tea with her at Schrafft's. "Tell me," she said there, "what are you young people reading nowadays?" Tru man toyed with a crumpet, and replied, "Speaking" for myself, the book I enjoyed most this year is 'My An tonia. Have you ever read it?" "As a matter of fact," said the lady, "I wrote, it." "I was so overwhelmed," recalls Capote, "that I almost per suaded Willa Cather to let me pay the check." C 195T, by Bennett Cert. Distributed by Kins Feature Syndicate. High Court Rules On Washington (W The Su preme Court has again declared that sex in movies and books does not necessarily mean ob scenity. The court Tuesday abruptly struck down a ban -placed by Chicago Police Commissioner Timothy J. O'Connor on the French film "The Game of Love." O'Connor found the film obscene. He was upheld by Fed eral District Judge J. S. Perry and the Seventh U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The Supreme Court issued no written opinion on the case, but only a brief order citing its de cision last June dealing with obscene literature.
