Actor Opens Cuba Casino HAVANA (UPH - Movie lough guy George Raft, who saved his swank Capri Casino from a mob of' vandals by seining a rebel flag and waving It frantically, was to reopen the gambling house today despite an almost complete lack of customers. Raft's Capri was one of four Ha vana casinos which were not dam aged at all in the New Year's Day riots and looting that followed the fall of the government of Fulgen cio Batista. The longtime Hollywood slar told United Press International he was being forced to reopen the casino despite the act that virtu ally all Havana's tourists had fled the country since the revolution. 'Our reopening Is more a mat ter of living up to the Cuban la bor laws than expecting to make money, he said. Jewel Probe Said Success SARASOTA, Kla.

The search was success. m WPi.: i Now a big pipe organ which is what Lawrence wanted can cost thousands of dollars. But if buy ing one was out of the question building one was not. Lawrence began collecting stray organ parts in the late 1930's, but didn't really get going on the project until he returned to Salt Lake from four years of Navy service in 1946. A music salesman by day, he took up his organ hunt at night. He tracked down a mammoth theater organ that had seen its best days, bought it for S750,. and took it apart. It was a mess of wood, leather, wire and tin. Many of the pipes were bent and broken, wires. wheels and valves had been ripped out. A litile discouraged, but still confident, Lawrence stored the mess In an abandoned chicken coop owned by his uncle, and be gan resurrecting the instrument, It took Lawrence two years but the instrument finally gave forth Its first tune. 'It sounded all right," Lawrence admits, ''but I wanted more vol ume, more intensity. So he started organ - hunting again. Luck was with him. He came across a battered organ in an abandoned theater. It. too. went to the chicken coop. Later, he added another old organ and an assortment ot parts. Lawrence started to fit all the new parts into the giant musical jig-saw puzzle, home didn t match They had to be hand-shaped, prac tically made over again. And he discovered he didn't have a place for the new enlarged instrument. He bought the chicken coop and built a second story on it, Finally, the, organ was com pleted, without a doubt the largest nome-made organ in the world Experts claim it is one of the most complete musical instruments ever built. The Bray organ has an audio range span from 30 cycles to 18, 000 cycles. The press of a single Key can unleash 60 tones, and with both hands, an organist can strike chord combining 500 notes at one time. To date, the organ has cost Law rence $1,200. It Is valued at $10, 000. He holds occasional recitals, fea turing leading organists in the Salt Lake area, but Lawrence never plays at them. You see, his repertoire is some what limited. He can build an organ, but the only tune he can play is "Chop slicks" and that with one finger.

Four Daring Balloonists Secure In West Indies BRIDGETOWN, Barbados (API Four daring British balloonists slept in soft beds this morning. resting up from the rigors of a 24-day Atlantic crossing that start ed in the air and ended on the water. A fishing boat spotted the crew of the balloon Small World three men and a woman as they sailed slowly along Monday in their gondola-boat four hours off Barbados. The fishing boat towed them in to a boisterous wel come. The intrepid quartet floated off from the Canary Islands Dec. 12 in an open, Tn by 15ft foot plastic boat suspended from a 47-foot bal loon. This British West Indian is land 3,000 miles across the Atlan tic was their goal, their purpose a scientific study of Atlantic trade winds. The balloon crossing had never been made before. Part way across they came down in the ocean, cut the balloon loose, and sailed the rest of the way in the gondola. They landed tired, hungry for fresh fruit and vegetables and thirsty for carbon ated drinks. Otherwise, they seemed unaffected by their gruel ing experience, and their gondola was still well stocked with food and water. The four refused to say how long they had been aloft and how long on the water, explaining they had sold their story to the London Daily Mail, which backed their expedition. Reports circulated in Barbados said they had come down after four days. Some British newspa pers variously reported they had sailed in the gondola beltween 1,- 200 and 2,000 miles after cutting loose the balloon. The expedition was captained by Arnold Eiolart, 51-year-old Star Displays Bullet Yound HAVANA (UPI) - Hollywood star Errol Flynn is modestly dis playing a minor leg wound these days which he says was inflicted by government bullets while he was roving with a rebel band last week. Flynn told a press conference here that he had been out three times since Christmas with rebel raiders in the service of Fidel Castro, whom he says he has known for eight years. There was some strafing (in a New Year's Eve raid) and, as usual whenever bullets are flying. I took refuge, the actor said "Unfortunately, one bullet whipped some chunks off a pillar, and either a fragment or the bul let itself grazed me. "It s really nothing, but judg ing by the fuss you'd think I was about to lose a lcc. He said he is sure Castro is not a Communist, although he con ceded the possibility that some members of his organization may he. He added, however, that any Reds there may be in the Cas tro group "aren't in any positions of power.

Men Meet To Ponder Atomic Use The meeting in Dallas follows an earlier one at Laramie, Wyo., in which scientists and engineers (or the Atomic Energy Commis sion, the Ernest 0.

Rosemary, 30, the expedition's cook. Wearing blue shorts and a blue and white sweater. Mrs. Mudie was the brightest of the four as they came ashore at a hotel beach on the island's southeast coast. She strode purposefully through the gathering crowd and up a cliff to the hotel, asking, "Can anyone lend me some hair clips? The - elder Eiolart, known as 'Bushy" for his mane of blond hair, was extremely happy and was carried on the shoulders of the jubilant crowd. His son and Mudie looked tired and somewhat shaky and asked for bottled drinks. At the hotel they were given rooms overlooking the Atlantic and promptly relaxed in hot, fresh water baths, with a meal of grape- Iruit, soup, salad and flying fish in their rooms. Their first callers were West In dies Prime Minister Sir Grantley Adams, his wife, and the wife of the governor of Barbados, Sir Robert Arundell. Before bedding down for the night, the Small Worlders celebrated with Bar bados rum punches, water down to take away some of the sting. The fishing boat that reucucd them meanwhile towed the Small World's gondola into Bridgetown harbor, where its arrival caused a near not by a crowd intent on getting souvenirs. Police rein- torcements finally restored order and placed a guard on the gondola at headquarters of the harbor po nce. The four Britons were to be given the freedom of the city this afternoon. There also were tenta tive arrangements for them to make a triumphal drive through the city s main streets. MOVING? your furniture is in good hands with...

Violet of the Uni versity of California, reported on the first "completely contained" nuclear explosion at the Nevada test site on Sept. 19, 1J57, and on additional underground detonations in October, 1958. It would be this or similar types of nuclear explosions that would be employed in the new method of oil recovery. Violet said in his technical paper that in the underground explosion in 1957, code-named Rainier, that no radioactivity was discovered in the tunnel in excess of the natural background as measured prior to the blast. In Rainier, Violet said the en ergy released by the nuclear ex plosions was equivalent to 1,700 tons of high explosives. The blast was in a room six by seven feet, 899 feet under a rocky mountain and 79 feet back from the face of it. Violet said the shock was suf ficiently strong to vaporize the rock for the first three feet and to melt it out to 15 feet. The rock was crushed on further out to a radius of 130 feet. The scientist said the radioac tivity, with negligible exceptions. was trapped in 700 tons of melted rock. The entrapment of radioactivity In such experiments in oil recov ery is of obvious importance.

Judge Boldt recessed the pro ceedings Dec. 19 when Beck be came ill with a severe cold. A further delay was necessary when Beck got a kidney infection. Resumption of the trial was or dered after physicians, including kidney specialist, examined Beck in Seattle and found he would be sufficiently recovered by Wednesday. Beck is charged with evading payment of $240,000 in income taxes for the years 1950-53.

Father Foils Escape Plans BOISE, Idaho (AP) Mary Ann Gardner headed home to El Monte, Calif., after escaping ths Idaho Penitentiary Dec. 28. Mon- day, her father brought her back. Al Gardner stayed only long enough to surrender his 21- year-old daughter to Warden L. E. Clapp. Then he, his wife and a grandmother started home. Clapp said he suggested Gard ner turn his daughter over to Cali fornia officers when the father tel ephoned last weekend. "No, I'll take her back myself," he quoted Gardner. "We'll drive all night if necessary." He described the father as "quite a forceful man on his ideas of right and wrong. There was only one thing in his mind and that was to bring her back." Miss Gardner, serving a forgery term, fled with two other women inmates. One remains at large. El Monte is 900 miles from here.
