Taste of Statehood . Has Hawaii Growing; Cities Being Created Honolulu -(UPD-The taste of statehood has Hawaii drooling at the prospect of what it can do to its cities. Even creating new ones. There is, for Instance, Henry Kaiser's announcement that he will build a $300-mil-lion model city for 50,000 peo- Russia Third Largest Producer Of Fats, Oils .Washington, (Science Ser Ice The Soviet Union is now the third largest producer of fats and oils in the world, ex ceeded only . by the United States and Communist China. Its estimated 1958 production was 2.6 million metric tons. ' Edible vegetable oils . ac counted for the main share of the output, followed by lard and tallow, butter, aftil fish and whale oi These figures, based largely on Russfen sources, were pub lished by the Food and Agri culture Organization here. Record Expected Total 1958 production of edible vegetable oils, includ ing those extracted from im ported seeds, is estimated at about 1.2 million tons. In 1959 it is likely to reach an all-time record, mainly because of an exceptionally good sunflower seed harvest. Increased Russian produc tion of oilseeds has been ac companied by improved ex traction ajocesses, the FAO re ported. Hydraulic presses have been almost completely replaced by continuous screw presses and solvent extraction mills, thus increasing the yield of oil. This technical advance doubled th extracting capa city between 1941 and 1956, although the number of plants increased only slightly. . The FAO study showed esti mates of present Russian con sumption, placed at about 30 pounds per head, were still far below thf)61 pounds per head in North America and the 5p pounds per head in Western Europe. Woman Saves Nan Trappd by Flames Kins Ptlley, Ore.- (DPD -A Monr'gomgn threw a blouse ever her had and dashed into a fming house to save an Injurpl man here Satur day. Mrs. len Brittain, about 40, told officers she was at tracted to the fire from a neighbor 9 house where she was visiting She looked in the winflow and saw Gene Woods, 45, lying, on the floor, one puuea ner mouse over her head and front in to pull tne jian to safety. pie at the southeastern tip of Oahu. The project will have the aid and blessing of the Bishop Estate, one of the island's largest landholders, and the entire development covering 6,000 acres will be on lease hold land. To Transform Hills To be called Hawaii-Kai, the city-to-be will according to the plans - transform bar ren hills and swampy low land into a vision of loveli ness. The area will have "everything" hotels, apart ments, homes, service areas, plus a huge man-made beach and a sea-water lake that is currently a muddy fish-pond. The James Campbell Estate, another big land-holder, has already started building its own new city at the other end of the island of Oahu. En visioned several years ago, the Campbell project got off the ground last year when Stand ard Oil of California an nounced it would put a $50 million refinery in the in dustrial park planned for the area. Once Standard Oil was in, other firms began to lease property in the industrial tract. An assortment of heavy industries is now scheduled for the area, and around it are springing up the houses, the schools and the supermar kets that will serve the people who work in a section that was once a sugar-cane field, Land any land on Oahu is considered a gold-mine. Much of it is held in lease by the large estates, but some of it. like tJi site rf tha nam Ala Moana Shopping Center, 1 was created by the owners Biggest Shopping Center Ala Moana to islanders to day means the biggest shop ping center they've ever seen Due to open in August, the $12-million center spreads it self over 50 acres of land pa tiently created With coral fills over the years by tycoon Wal ter Dillingham. The shopping center is the king of Hawaii's shopping areas, but it is by no means the only one. With every new residential development, there are more stores on the land to serve the people. Economists predict that the construction industry may bring in a bil lion dollars by 1965. Islands Growing Most of the building is in and around Honolulu on the island of Oahu. But the other islands are beginning to show signs of growth, too. One large island firm has an nounced plans for a luxury beach development on the is land of Maui to rival famed Waikiki. Only legal details are hold ing up the start of this project. Before long, $36 million will be poured into the area, which is expected to have 11 hotels ine name of the area is Kaanapali. Remember it; someday it may be as famous as Waikiki. TAUtUS . APR. 21 ( MAY 21 Pl13-21-3M7 M-52-59-SO-861 S TAR GAZER! AMCC 93 MAR. 22 IfiAPR.' 20 i ). 7-1A.2H - - .

However, Centennial offi cials with whom I talked as sured me that everything would be ready when the big gates swing open for the 100 day celebration. In Various Stages Everything with which the Centennial Commission is re sponsible is completed but many of the commercial ex hibits are still in various stages of construction. For instance, Saturday only the framework of the Japanese exhibit was up. The Ghana exhibit was n various stages of painting and in some other exhibits, merchandise was be ing unpacked as carpenters and painters worked frantic ally. My guide said workers are going around the clock and on Sunday in an effort to have everything in readiness. Considerable asphalt is yet to be laid in several parts of the grounds and an immense job of cleaning up remains. Unique Construction Every corner of the vast grounds was a beehive of ac tivity. The Frontier Town construction was complete and merchandise and exhibits were being placed in the sev eral pioneer-type stores. The forestry building, perhaps the most unique in its modern architectural construction, is complete and displays were being placed. Next to the for estry building is a group of logs standing erect which the guide said would give the im pression of walking through a dense , forest when com pleted. k Many of the county exhibits were yet to be completed. A beautiful panoramic topo graphic scene of Oregon mountains, lakes, rivers and lowlands graces one wall of one of the big rooms and is certain to attract much in terest. ' Pipe Being Laid The nine miles of pipe necessary to freeze ice for the Ice Capades, which opens a two-week run on June 11. was being placed in the huge arena and all seats for the show were in place. The big stage on which, other shows will perform during the 100- day run has been construct ed, put into place for trial use, and then removed or the Ice Capades. The Cameo Home of Ideas created considerable interest among our group with its many ideas of how the home of tomorrow will look, things which the present-day home- builder probably woman t consider in his construction plans. Garden Planted The International Garden of Tomorrow has been plant ed but was largely blocked from view by a fence. The entrance was made too mud dy by. the rain which fell during our tour but tne guiae sairl it will be black-topped before opening day. The Hall of Religious History has been eomnleted and the wildlife display was undergoing its final touches. Centennial personnel recom mended visitors allow at least three days to properly tour the grounds and see the many exhibits. ; "Be sure to tell your wom en to wear walking shoes," one of the officials told our group.

Wayne Morse (D-Ore.) has expressed pleasure over action of the special Senate labor subcom-' mittee in reporting S. 812, the Youth Conservation bill, to the full committee on La bor and Public Welfare. . The only major change in the bill, of which Morse (was a cosponsor, is the placing of responsibility for the YCC in the department of labor rather than the department of health, education and welfare. The bill would establish in the department of labor a Youth Conservation Corps similar to the CCC of the New Deal era. Morse said the health and well being of American youth, which is America's greatest asset, would derive great benefit from a Youth Conservation Corps. He declared the Corps would be of considerable aid to the Forest Service and sim ilar agencies in conservation of natural resources and in creased use of recreational areas, that the Corps would help states and counties through better federal man agement of adjacent holdings, and that the Treasury would receive inc reased revenue through the construction of access roads and increased timber sales. Toy Cars Cannot Legally Be Driven on Highways Salem Small gasoline- powered vehicles cannot le gally' be driven on public streets or roads, The Oregon Traffic Safety Commission has reminded owners or pros pective buyers. The commission said that use of the midget vehicle in any location other than on private property not only is in violation of law, but also represents a potentially dan gerous situation. As an ex ample, the toy cars are so low they are difficult for a driver in a standard car to see. The pint-sized vehicles can not be licensed to operate on public streets because they lack much of the equipment required for operation as a motor vehicle. Even if they had the re quired equipment, the opera tor still would have to be 16 years of age and be a licensed driver in the state, the com mission commented. SAFETY MEASURES New York (DPD City offi cials took steps Friday to pre vent additional suffocation of children from plastic bags. Health inspectors yisited more than 2,000 cleaning establish ments urging that warning labels be placed on plastic bags, which are commonly used to cover clothing. The commission warned that improper use of the toy vehicles could easily result in tragedy, and pointed out that it is the responsibility of par ents to supervise children in their proper use. The miniature vehicles rep resent a new problem not only to Oregon, but other states as well, the commission noted. 0CS Applications Now Being Accepted Applicatioons are being ac cepted by the Navy from qualified young men to en roll in the Navy's Officer Candidate school at Newport, R.I. Men with the prequisite college education who wish to earn a commission in the U.S. Naval Reserve may obtain in formation from the nearest Navy Recruiting office. Ap plications of OSC may ; be made nine months prior to receipt of a bachelor's degree. It was reported that in order to insure active duty shortly after graduation it is advisable to make application as soon as possible. , OSC consists of 16 weeks of training following which a person will be commission ed an ensign. Work Resumes Despite Pickets Independence (DPD - W o r k was resumed at the Valley Concrete Co. plant here Fri day, despite pickets in front of the establishment. Several mid-Willamette val ley plants have been idlead since last month by a Team sters union strike and subse quent, lockout by employers who said a strike against one was a strike against all. First plant struck was in Corvailis. While industry officials de clined to be' quoted, one plant manager predicted 10 of 11 mid-Willamette plants will be back in operation Mon day. When work resumed here, supervisory personnel drove the trucks. A plant spokes man said resumption of work was prompted by community presure. The concrete from the Independent plant went to Imply Corp.'s new !plywood plant here, and the spokes man said the work stoppage had thrown several hundred men out of work at -the ply wood plant project. Letters were sent to work ers urging them to report back to their jobs at the same pay scales. A management spokesman said any jobs va cant after Monday would be filled with non-union help.
