NEW DOLLS
The elves and- Imps In Santa's
workshop no longer do-lt-them-selves.
Their legendary prowess as
toy makers la, more' than ever be'

technical research. Attached to
Santa's age-old shop are not one
but hundreds of America's finest
engineers and researchers, from

AMONG the newest addi

Clanese acetate plastic is

dustry. This will be reflected In the beau
ty and a new durability of millions
of plastic toys under millions of
Christmas trees this year. It Is safe
to say that for sheer Ingenuity,
Santa and his streamlined helpers
have outdone themselves.
There are Oclger Counters that
count, and harmless guns which
spout realistic smoke with a loud
bang, and perfect replicas of sleek
convertibles and the State Coach
f England, baby dolls that cry
and wet, and even a ballet dancer
doll which can assume all of the
standard ballet poses!
But of greater Importance to par
ent and child alike will these
charming Christmas toys stand up
to the abuse they will have to
take?
A trip through any department
store will convince even the most
carping that the plastics industry
and toy manufacturers have done
a notable Job of policing their pro
ducts during 195o. Take the Ace
tate Toy Honor Roll, for example.
This is a collection of toys that
have had not only laboratory pre
testing, but have withstood "in
use", trial, as well. "In use," in
this ease, means the exposure of
plastic playthings- to -the growing
children of young executives in the
Cclancse Corporation's Plastics Di
vision. To say the least, the re
sults have been encouraging. Not
only have acetate toys benefited,
but all plastic have as well.
Plastics in this case acetate and
pliable vinyls and polyethylene
can do what no other material can
do. They can give any toy a real
istic, life-like appearance, unattain
able in metal or wood. And a ma
jor consideration Is that plastics
can De molded, using mass pro
duction techniques, to produce qual
ity toys at a minimum cost.
Acetate plastic, which nlaved a
major role In building an Ameri
can toy Industry which could suc
cessfully compete with German and
Japanese toy makers, is one of the
most popular materials for any toy
in wnicn rigidity and appearance
are Important prerequisites. Most
uons. irom tne six inch to the
ju men variety, are made of ace
late plastic, as are gun slocks,
scaie models and toy musical In
strumeiHs, among others.
The wary shopper can disllng-
uisn acetate from less durable rigid
plastics by tapping the surface
wun a fingernail., unlike lis more
brittle competitors, acetate does
not have a metallic ring. Many

Abbott Set
For Cross
Examination
OAKLAND (UP) A climax was
reached in the -six-week-old trial
of Burton Abbott Friday as the de
fendant faced a detailed cross-examination
by the man who Is at
tempting to prove that Abbott kid-
imped and murdered 14-year-old
Stephanie Bryan.
The defense called Abbott to the
.stand In a surprise move Thurs
day and under friendly questioning
by his attorney, Harold Hove, the
27-y ear-old University of California
rtudent emphatically denied each
of the pieces of circumstantial evi
dence that the state has heaped
around him.
However, cross-examination by
Dlst. Atty. J. Prank Coakley had
baiely begun when Superior Judge
Charles Wade Snook halted court
a half hour early. Coakley Indicat
ed later that he expected a lot of
mtwers from Abbott.
"I'm going to keep him on for
quite some time," the district at
torney said. "At least all day and
probably more."
In the 25 minutes Coakley had
Thursday to deal with Abbott, he
made no mention of the crime
charged but calmly questioned the
defendant about his earlier life.
Earlier in the day, the defense
had a multitude of questions con
cerning the charged crime, most
of which drew negative answers
from Abbott.
After Hove took his client
through a long minutely detailed
account of his movements on April
28, when Stephanie vanished, Ab
bott was handed a shockingly vivid
color photo of the girl's decom
posed body as it lay on a Redding
mortuary table after It was found
near Abbott's Trinity County cab
in. 'Did you at any time do this
horrible crime to Stephane Bry
an: Hove asked. -
Abbott gazed unflinchingly at t he
photograph and answered, "No, I
did not."
He used the same answer to a
series of questions, Including
whether he'd ever known Steph
anie Bryan, or known where she
lived in Berkeley, or had her in
his car, or kidnaped her, or buried
her on the Trinity County hillside.
Hove, also showed Abbott the
large pile of Stephanie's possess
ions found in his basement In Ala
meda, her purse, her wallet, some
books, and a brassiere identified
as the same type as the one she
wore April 28. ,
"Have you at any time had any
of those exhibits in your possess
ion?" Hove asked.
"No," Abbott replied.
Shown a photo of Stephanie, the
prosecution's exhibit No. 1, Ab
bott shook his heart and said. "I
never saw her before in my life."

Clinton Anderson Urges
AEC To Reveal Secrets
CLEVELAND Ijfl Sen. Clinton
Anderson ID-NM) says the Atomic
Energy Commission should tell the
public all details about Its quest
to harness the H-bomb for peace
time purposes so that more hands
and brains can join in the recently
announced project.
He expressed that opinion Thurs
day after telling newsmen the AEC
had even kept members of the joint
Senate-House Atomic Committee
in the dark about the project for a
while. He Is chairman of the com
mittee. Anderson said that last March,
he took some of the members of
his committee on a tour of the
AEC's atomic laboratory at Los
Alamos, N.M.
But, he said, "I was not al
lowed" to take them through one
barea where, he found out later, re.
search on the controlled fusion, or
H-bomb reaction, was going on.
"The atomic energy iaw says
the commission shall keep the joint
committee Informed of all develop
ments," he said, "but they thought
that this was so secret a project
that the joint commiltee should
not be told about It."
He spoke at a news conference
before addressing the Nuclear
Science and Engineering Congress
at which he again called for the
AEC to tell more details about
the project In contrast to the lim
ited disclosures it - has made
hitherto.
"The Job of seeing whether hy
drogen energy can be controlled
is ,an Immense job," he told the
scientists. "It may eventually re
quire the work of thousands of
people, and the task may. extend
j over decaues. even au, ouw-w
neither assurec nor . even pruo
ab!e. "Tills Is a field where we badly
need new Ideas. The surest way
to keep from getting such Ideas,
in my opinion, is by posting a
'keep . out' sign around our con
trolled hydrogen program.
"I have heard no sound military
reason advanced for keeping our
work cn this project classified,"
Anderson added.
