Solomon's Temple 600 years
before Christ.
The state is taking extra
ordinary precautions that
none of the half-million of its
citizens who still carry per
sonal grief from the barbari
ties of nazism will deprive it
of the chance to hang Eich
mann with due process of law.
A 15-foot wire fence has
been put up around the re
cently completed six - story
building and everyone enter
ing the compound, except the
judges and opposing counsel,
will be searched daily for
weapons. Floodlights will
light the area by night for the
guards in pillboxes and on sur
rounding rooftops.
The building is Jerusalem's
new Community Center, fac
ing the western hills of the
ancient city near the hand
some new campus of the He
brew University. The trial will
be its first use.
Court will sit on the stage
of the main auditorium. Or
chestra seats are reserved for
the press - 480 newsmen from
35 countries have been ac
credited. About 250 gallery
seats will be available for
spectators, including members
of the government, foreign
diplomats, legal observers and
a few members of the public,
who will be admitted by ticket
only.
Soundproof Booths
Four soundproof booths
have been set up in the bal
cony for translators who will
provide simultaneous transla
tions of the proceedings in
Hebrew, German, French and
English. All will be piped to
outlets through the building
for the use of newsmen and
for recording. Persons who
must be on the move in the
compound may follow the pro
ceedings on walkie-talkies,
available for a S40 deposit.
The fence has been extend
ed across the street to enclose
a police officers' club which
will be used as a restaurant
during the trial, eliminating
the necessity for lunch-hour
friskings. All traffic has been
shut off from the block and
residents of other buildings
will be checked in and out
along a narrow walk to their
homes.
Two - hundred police men
and women have been brought
to Jerusalem from other parts
of the country for duty at the
trial site, to prevent depletion
of the local police strength.
Eichmann will be housed in
the building during the trial
and seated in a bullet-proof
box on the court room stage
during trial sessions. The box
is about eight feet high and
4V4 by 6V-4 feet wide, of spec
ially reinforced plastic with a
top section of bullet-proof
glass. Two guards will occupy
it with Eichmann, and if he
chooses to testify, he will do
so by microphone from the
box.
Directly below the court
room, in which is planned as
a gvmnasium for the Com
munity Center, is the work
ing press office. A special
post office branch, a telo-com-municatlons
center and pho
tographic laboratory with ra
d 1 o transmission facilities
have been set up in corners
and adjoining rooms. There
arc 200 tables for newsmen,
four soundproof broad cast
booths and 20 soundproof
telephone booths for overseas
calls.
Private Offices
On two balconies overlook
ing the press room are private
offices for the Israeli news
agency 1TIM and six inter
national news services - Uni
ted Press International, As
sociated Press, the Russian
Tass. British Reuters. Agence
France Presse and the Gar
man DPA.
There is no television in
Israel. An American firm,
Caoital Cities Broad casting

exclusive rights to make
videotape records of the pro
ceedings. There has been

agencies, representatives of 27
national agencies or newspa

Bill Abolishes
Hydroelectric Group
Salem -IUPU- The House
Wednesday passed and sent to
the governor a bill to abolish
the three-member state hydro
electric commission.
SB390 transfers all of the
commission's duties to the
state engineer, who serves as
a member of the agency.
Gov. Mark Hatfield has pro
posed abolition of the com
mission in his reorganization
program but the legislature
has not yet acted, on this. If
the legislature sanctions Hat
field's version, the separate
bill to do away with the com
mission will not be effective.
The separate bill was intro
duced by the Ways and Means
committee.

Redstone Arsenal
Putting Cash in
Huntsville Tills
Huntsville, Ala. - (UPI) - The
nation's space program at
George C. Marshall Space
Flight Center and Redstone
Arsenal here has put a jingle
into the pockets of local resi
dents that almost is as loud
as a static test firing of the
mighty Saturn rocket.
The space efforts under Dr.
Wernher Von Braun have
been highly successful, but
even the satellites orbiting
the earth don't match the
gains made in cash registers
as far as local residents are
concerned.
When the nation's space sci
entists were moved here in
1950 this north Alabama city
had a population of about
16,000. It has grown to more
than 72,000 in the last decade.
The per capita income here
1950 was about $800, but,
thanks mainly to the emphasis
on space exploration, it jump
ed to $1,457 by last year. The
city limits were extended
from less than five square
miles in 1950 to the present
more than 50 square miles.
Sales Jump
Retail sales have jumped
from $43.8 million to $112
million during the last decade.
Vehicle registration jumped
from 15,000 to 45,646 and tele
phones increased from 8,807
to 43,691 as residents became
more prosperous.
The city's growth is reflect
ed in the number of building
permits - 435 in 1950 and
2,290 in 1959 - and postal re
ceipts which jumped from
$250,097 in 1950 to $809,727
in 1959.
Wages in the county before
the missile boom totaled $15.5
million in 1950. Ten years
ater they reached $75,810,470
for a 387 per cent increase.
The city proudly boasts that
it is the "Rocket City" of the
nation and residents know full
well that the prosperity rests
in the nearby rocket and mis
sile facilities of the National
Aeronautics and Space Ad
ministration and the Army.
Any cut back in space ef
forts would slow the spread of
money throughout the city
and greater Huntsville area.
The expansion of Redstone
Arsenal as the space capital
has touched off a building
boom that has seen housing
projects spring up in all di
rections.
There are other manufactur
ing plants in Madison county,
a total of 68 in 1958, but their
total employment amounts to
less than 6,000, slightly more
than the number of employes
at the George C. Marshall
Space Flight Center alone.
'April Showers'
Not Really Showery
Corvallis - "April showers"
are famous but they add up
to only about one-half the
"wetness" of March and one
third the January rains (and
snows), according to a new
Oregon State college weather
summary.
The publication points to
25-year averages as a sign
that April traditionally brings
a major drop in precipitation.
Prepared by Wheeler Cal
houn of the OSC crops de
partment, the summary charts
Corvallis weather of the last
quarter century-a report fair
ly representative of the Wil
lamette valley. "Extremes"
are traced back to 1889.
Normal April showers bring
about 2.10 inches of precipi
tation each year, compared
to 4.06 for March, 5.10 in
February, and 6.42 for Janu
ary, the wettest month of the
year.
Wettest April on record at
OSC was in 1937 when 7.99
inches of rain fell.
In contrast, April, 1939, had
a mere .22 "trace" of rain.
The long-time average shows
.02 inches of snow in April.
SUGAR CONSUMPTION
New York - WP1I - Cuba
faces stiff global competition
for sugar markets as output
of the commodity rises. Trade
sources say the world's 1961
crop is expected to exceed
consumption. Output is fore
cast at 56 million tons, an In
crease of about 6 million tons
from last year.

ODD BITS OF INFORMATION
Washington House Guests Receive
Unusual Tour of Capital
By DICK WEST
Washington - (UPI) - W hen
Spring arrives, can house
guests be far behind?
I don t know why I keep
asking that question because
the answer is
always the
same.
Here it is
barely a week
past the ver
nal equ i n o x
and already
we arc getting
letters from
friends and
west reuiuves ask
ing if we still have mat old
Army cot in the attic.
There is something about
the springtime that seems to
make our nature-loving friends
and relatives long for the
great indoors.
Each year when the bud is
aijrfwji:;v'rfw.rvw'n-
i r '-'
on the tree again and the bird
is on the wing, they start lay
ing plans to come hero for a
stroll through the corridors of
the U. S. Capitol.
Pause That Refreshes
There is nothing, apparent
ly that they enjoy more than
to pause beside a porcelain
fountain and sip fluorinated
water while drinking in the
marble beauty of Chief Ayah-ke-bah-ke-ko-ahay's
statue.
Since I am usually desig
nated by my wife to lend the
sightseeing parlies-'Gut them
out of tlie house for a while,"
she whispers-l have logged
enough hours to qualify as a
master guide.
I pride myself on being able
to bore our guests with odd
bits of historical information
that the average guide over
looks. This tends to discourage
any return trips.
'i
Grounds
Not many people know, for
instance, that when air-conditioning
was first installed in
.the Capitol, workmen had to
fill the pipes with anti freeze
during the winter. Therefore.
I always include that in my
spiel.
Then I direct my visitors up
a steep flight of circular
stairs to the Senate library.
There's nothing to see up
there hut when they get back
down they are out of breath.
More Odd Bits
This enables me to tell them,
without being interrupted,
that one of the volumes in the
library contains a copy of the
only picture ever printed in
the Congressional Record.
The picture was included
in the issue of Oct. (i, 1906, at
the behest of former Sen. Ben
jamin Ryan Tillman of South
!,fWW!rJ.'yW,
THURSDAY, MARCH 30. 1961
Caroina. It is a full length pro
file of a cow.
After that, I take my guests
to the Capitol basement and
show them the crypt that Con
gress set aside for George
Washington to be buried in.
This is one of the places
where Washington wasn't bur
ied. If they want to see Wash
ington's tomb, I inform them,
they will have to drive down
to his home at Mount Vernon.
I am always glad to give di
rections. I also suggest that while
they are visiting Mount Ver
non, they might like to make
a copy of Martha Washing
ton's recipe for "grate cake."
The recipe come in handy
when you have house guests.
II begins like this: "Take 40
eggs . . . work four pounds
of butter."
