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

Raft's Capri was one of four Ha

fall of the government of Fulgen

The longtime Hollywood slar

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 British balloonists

24-day Atlantic crossing that start

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

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.

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

"considerable promise."

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

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

and placed a guard on the gondola

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.

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.

Judge Boldt recessed the pro

Resumption of the trial was or

Escape Plans
BOISE, Idaho (AP) Mary

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.
