    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

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.

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

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.

Workers Rushing To
Complete Job For
Centennial Opening
By HARRY CHIPMAN
Mail Tribune Staff Writer
It will come as quite a
surprise to me if the Oregon
Centennial Exposition is 100
per cent completed when the
rockets and 100-gun salute
are fired at noon Wednesday
to officially open Oregon's
100th birthday party in Port
land.
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.

Morse Pleased
Over Youth Bill
Washington - Sen. 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

Applicatioons are being ac
cepted by the Navy from

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.
