WALZER UPI Financial Editor New York -UPD- Five thous and years ago, a smart Egyp tian split a papyrus reed for something to write on and so . was born the world s pres ent $20 bil lion paper and allied -oduct in- Klmer Walzar dtistry. That industry today has de veloped 8,000 kinds of paper and 14,000 uses for them. Now there is a new product which is opening a new uni verse of paper. It is stretch- able paper which already has made strides in new uses with myriads more in the labora tory and on the drawing boards. f These uses include paper grocery bags that stretch in stead of tearing; magazine wrappers that arrive still holding their perishable con tent in the same shape they were mailed in; heavy-duty ically wrapping and shipping such things as auto tires, car parts, florists' small plants, furniture, and small boats to name a few. Nw Mulii-Purposa Paper flexible and tough, yet soft and fabric-like to the touch to the point where it can be made into draperies, seat cov ers, bedsheets, even dispos able clothing such as uni forms, hats, aprons, shirts. The new product is called dupak. And two men stand out in its short career. They are the inventor, San ford L- Cluett, famed for his process of preshrinking tex tiles behind the sanforized trade mark, and Gerald E. Amerman, 49-year-old presi dent of Clupak, Inc., specially-formed patent and trade mark organization to which Sanford Cluett . assigned his patenL Clupak, Inc., is owned half by Cluett, Peabody & Co., Inc., and half by West Virginia Pulp & Paper Co. - Seven firms now are pro ducing Clupak under license and two others are slated to start in January. Together they account for 64 per cent of the country's total annual production. The companies include West Virginia Pulp & Paper, Inter national Paper Co. (the larg est), Union Bag-Camp Paper Corp., continental wan w., Crown Zellerbach Corp., St Regis Paper Co., Albemarle Paper Manufacturing Lo., Hudson Pulp & Paper Corp., and Calcasieu Paper Co. Two Canadian License mere are iwu iumuxui licensees -Canada Paper Co., and St. Lawrence Corp., Ltd. and one in Sweden Dynas Aktiebolag. Amerman came to Clupack in January of- 1958 from Cluett Peabody where he was vice president and' general manager of that firm's casual wear division. , Normally soft-spoken Amer man seems to catch fire in discussing Clupak. "This thing has really taken off," he says. "Initially "we knew of only one area where Clupak could be used - the coarse paper field. ' "Now new areas and uses turn up daily - everything from vacuum cleaner bags to disposable graduation caps and gowns. "And in coarse paper, it seems fairly safe to say that eventually Clupak will vir tually replace conventional Kraft."'

"And this opens up a whole new world of disposable cloth ing, home furnishings,' bed and table linens, work uni forms the list is literally endless.": Amerman says Clupak has built-in stretch as much as Try and Stop Me By, BENNETT CERF AN INEBRIATE in Hollywood was driving the wrong way on a Freeway.

The problem as Amerman sees it, is convincing prospec tive users of paper products that Clupak really is that tough. "They find it hard to be-' lieve a paper so light in weight can be so tough." BROOK X i . i n f J Truth-Seeker Hayden Returns from Sea Voyage To Face Sausalito, Calif. - (UPD - Sailor Sterling Hayden was home from the sea today-but he still faced storms on ' the immediate horizon. The blond, 43-year-old actor is scheduled to appear before Judge Emil Gumpert in Los Angeles Friday to face a .con tempt charge for taking his four children on a voyage to Tahiti aboard an old schooner. Gumpert awarded Hayden custody of the children last January during a fiery court battle with the actor's former wife, Betty DeNoon Hayden. However, the judge ruled that Hayden could not take the- children on a proposed "dream voyage" to the South Seas because Gumpert felt that Hayden's schooner, Wan derer, was "ancient and un safe." v. Sailed Away Anyhow One week later, the Wan derer sailed out of San Fran cisco Bay carrying Hayden, hos : four children, ' and an amateur crew of 13 includ ing five women, a doctor and the three children of his first mate, Phillip Africa. United States May Be Willing To Build India Wheat Reserve Washington -IDPD The Unit ed States probably would be willing to help build up a big national wheat reserve in In dia if the Indian government comes up with concrete pro posals for the move, informed sources here indicated. Agriculture department of ficials cannot commit them selves now to any forecast of how sales or gifts of surplus U.S. wheat to an Indian food reserve could . be . arranged. But administration spokes men have said publicly that the government is willing to consider helpmg such proj ects abroad, either on its own or through international agen cies. - Preparing Stockpile Plan The possibility that India would request U.S. help in building a national reserve including up to 150 million bushels of wheat was report ed recently in New Delhi dispatches quoting S. K. PatiL Indian minister of agricul ture. Pa til was reported to' be preparing a plan for stockpil ing five million tons of wheat and rice and about 250,000 tons of sugar. . The reserve stockpile would be aimed at stabilizing food supplies and prices in In dia, which still imports large quantities of food in spite of continuing campaigns to boost farm production. A large reserve, stored within India, would help pre vent "spot" -shortages and sudden price rises which can occur there now even when overall supplies are close to demand. The key to the probem of building the reserve, from the Indian point of view, is how to get the wheat without Using scarce dollar exchange.

Weisich charged the actor and his crew with con spiracy . child stealing and contempt. Hayden's original plans to shoot a series of sea film for television fell through. His hand-picked crewmen finally left the Wanderer, returned to their old jobs, and charges against them were dropped. The district attorney said Sunday he would dismiss all charges against Hayden if he returned to Los Angeles to face the contempt charges there. Data "In Lot Angeles "It sounds like you have a date in Los Angeles on Nov 20," Grant B. Cooper Sr., Hayden's attorney, said. "I sure do," replied Hay den. Hayden's children - Christian, 10; Thor, 9; Gretch- en, 8 and Matthews, 6 - were tanned and appeared healthy when the Wanderer docked here Sunday. Cooper's son, Grant Jr., made the return trip with pluses in return for , foreign currencies. Another important problem, sources here point out, is where and how the reserve wheat would be stored. Agricultural experts here believe that if- India wants to launch a long-range reserve grain program, it will be ne cessary to build a large num ber of new grain warehouses there. It might be possible to arrange some VS. aid in con structing the storage under present technical cooperation programs or through loans, some sources believe. . Must Show Ability India will ''have to show ability and willingness to handle and manage reserves properly" to interest the Unit ed States in the project, one source said. U.S. cooperation in such a project would have been eas ier to arrange had the con- ess okayed an administra tion-proposed amendement to the farm surplus disposal act last summer. The amendment, narrowly defeated on the house floor, would have specifically auth orized the, government t o move wheat and other surplus crops into national food re serves abroad. . . The crops, under the pro posal, would have moved into foreign storage with no imme diate payment. The United States would have collected for the grain only when it was sold for-uses other than famine or emergency relief.
