"DENNIS THE MENACE" iXilL FIHD OUT WY I'M SnTI W' HERE AS SOON AS TUB PHOHB RINGS', Toy Invented By Ad Man Provides Top Fun For Kids ST. LOUIS. Mo. (AP) - A sim pie toy invented by a former tele vision advertising salesman is whirling toward the top in the kingdom of children s fun. It's the Whirlcy-Whirler, the Eurasian Gi To Wed Sailor SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) A beautiful 19-year-old Eurasian girl arrived in San Francsisco last night to marry a Wisconsin sailor who courted her by mail for six months, after a brief meeting in Singapore last year. The girl, Diana Hutchison, was to meet seaman Joseph J. Bcllin, 22, of Applcton, Wis., in Los An geles. He is stationed aboard the cruiser USS Bremerton, which is in nearby Long Beach. Miss Hutchison, who had never flown before, arrived aboard a Pan American flight from the Or ient. She said Bcllin was due to be discharged from the Navy next month and they would go to Ap plcton for the wedding. She was the runnerup last year for the Miss Singapore title.

Sim ply, it's a small stick whirling a plastic soup plate aloft. How did Hyatt get the idea? "I was reading about the hula hoop craze," Hyatt recalled, "and like a million other guys, I said to myself, 'Why can't I think of something like that?' "Well I got to thinking about hula hoops and' what made them popular. Kids like something that balances and spins and sudden ly I remembered the jugglers and their spinning plates in vaudeville." With help from a nlastics designer, Hyatt fashioned the lirst model from a dimestore elastic plate and a rim from a coffee can. Then Hyatt excitedly' went to a iriena, Loa weslheimer, a mar keting consultant, and told him he had the successor to the hula hoop. The men joined forces and took in Israel Treiman, a lawyer, to handle the legal end. The public unveiling came in St. Louis' biggest department store. Hyatt and his two young sons did the whirling. That first day they sold more than 230. The cost of a single die was $5,000. But "the Whirley boys" -as John and Lou call themselves gambled. The toy clicked. In two months a half a million units have been sold. Four plants now work around-the-clock to make the toy. You work the toy by elevating the four-ounce plastic plate on the two-foot long stick. You flick your wrist and the plate begins spin ning. The right motion puts it in orbit. The wrong one puts It on the floor. Better Relations Loom With Jet Travel Advent By ELMER C. WALZER NEW YORK (UPI) The let age will provide five-billion dol lars worth of high-speed planes for low-cost travel that could make for a better understanding among nations. But none of the nations has produced even a round wheel in travel so far as their treatment of tourists goes. So the whole thing may end up with the tourist finding there s no place like home, says Horace Sutton, travel editor of Saturday Heview. Saturday Review's current issue features the jet age with a series of articles by experts who point up the good and bad of jet travel. The jets will provide a smooth trip and the travelers to Europe Union Records Said Missing TACOMA, Wash. (AP) The Teamsters' Union has no docu mentary evidence of its own re lating to sums of money borrowed by its former president, Dave Beck, a witness testified at Beck's income tax trial Wednesday. Frank Brewster, once secretary- treasurer of the Teamsters' West ern Conference, said the only evidence of Beck's borrowings was information supplied by Beck himself. Brewslcr testified he did not know of Beck borrowing some $370,000 in union funds until 1934. However, he did say that Beck once asked him whether "I had any objection to him borrowing money from the union." Brewster said he told Beck he did not if he got approval of the board of the Western Conference. The government has charged the portly former Teamsters presi dent with evading $240,000 in in come taxes during 1950-53. Brewster described his relation ship with Beck as "strictly bus! ness." "He had very few close friends," Brewster said.

Anyone interested in getting a new telephone should attend this meet ing which will begin at 7 p.m. Scientist Offers New Plan To De-Salt Water From Sea Bv DELOS SMITH UPI Science Editor NEW YORK (UPI) The Inex haustible waters of the seas may soon become available to make deserts bloom and supply vast in dustrial needs, thanks to a scien tific invention which can extract the salt from it with a high effi ciency at relatively small cost. This is the word circulating among interested scientists who understand the invention of their Israeli colleague, Alexander Zar- chm. has been proved practical for large-scale application after wi l--.

Zarchin's invention is a techni cal process which capitalizes on a phenomenon known for untold cen turies frozen sea water is salt free as it melts under certain con ditions. The extremely difficult technical problem was 16 organize and control this natural chemis try. The technical process which docs it is complex. This has made for legalistic difficulties in setting up world-wide patent protection, it was said. Israel financed the re search and testing, and' its gov ernment will not divulge any of the finer techniques involved in the process until all patent prob lems are settled, this reporter learned. The worth of the invention de pends upon how much you need water since this controls how much you can pay for it. Israel and the entire arid Middle East need water desperately, especially Israel which is striving to develop an extensive agriculture and industry. Much of Israel s water now comes from deep wells and it costs eight to nine cents a cubic foot to get to the surface. It was estimated that the Zarchin process could desalt sea water at one half this cost. There are sev eral other ways of desalting. The Zarchin way was said to cost one tenth or less than the other ways. No less an authority than Dr. R. L. Nace of the U.S. Geologi cal Survey believes that the whole sale conversion of sea water is not economically feasible for this country in the near future. The and rections are too far removed from the oceans. But for arid na tions bordering on seas, it could be economic salvation. The. Sa hara borders on the Mediterrane an, for instance. What powers the process is electricity and the only authorita tive estimate of cost was in terms of kilowatt hours. Experimentally three kilowatt hours will process one ton of sea water and produce a high yield of fresh water. The cost of generating a kilowatt hour of electricity is quite high in the Middle East. Generation by water power is the cheapest method which would seem to rule out cheap ilectricity 'or arid countries. But develop ment of the head waters of the River Jordan could generate it for transmission to sea water con version plants along the coasts. So could Egypt's projected high dam for the head waters of the Nile. will find currencies adjusted to help them and the nations they visit. But that's where it ends. The troubles include, Sutton points out such things as visas, embarka tion taxes, landing taxes. head taxes, tourist cards, medi cal taxes, sales taxes, stamp taxes, and myriad others to say nothing of many forms to fill out, baggage rumaging by customs men and so on. Sutton notes that the United States is an arch offender along with others. And you ought to see what the Latin American nations do to the tourist. "The Traveler," Sutton says, "has become the world's -pigeon. Never was a moving target easier to plug. But the jet-age tourist, if the airlines are to fill those yawning seats, will come from a different social scale. He will, be man who has been conditioned to work hard for his money and is not quite so easily parted from it. "Dun him. do him. tax him. and toll him, and he may get the idea very soon in the game that there really Is no place like home." Edward Barrett, former assist ant secretary of state and now dean of Columbia School of Jour nalism, in his article for the Re view, hits at our complex pass port system, because "in the mass of rules, regulations, rulings and procedures, ordinary horse sense has been eclipsed." He noias this nation "should be extremely reluctant to interfere with the constitutional right of tree travel in peace time" of U.S. citizens or to impede visits to this country by the friendly citizens of other nations. James J. Haggerty, Jr., former aviation editor of Colliers, stress es the inadequacy of air traffic control. But, he notes, despite this horse-and-buggy system, air tra vel is surprisingly safe today. manKs to tne dedication of air traffic controllers. Statistically, he says, "you are 22 times as safe in a commercial airliner, the congested airways notwithstanding, as you are in tne lamny auto. Nicholas L. Deak, president of rerera to., foreign currency ex change, tells what the new Eu ropean currency changes mean to the tourist. Devaluation of the franc, means a tourist, for a time, perhaps 60 lo 90 days, will be able to buv French goods 17.55 per cent cheaper than he could before Christmas. But prices will rise and by the time the summer travel rush begins, the advantage very iiKeiy will nave evaporated, he says. Of more importance, is the move or. ten Tree European na tions to make their currencies convertible for foreigners. One aoesn t nave to take currencies with him in travel. He can buy them with his dollars and get dollars back when he leaves if he has , any foreign money left. That doesn't apply hi Spain and ine traveler will save 20 per cent by taking along some pesetas. Editorially, the Saturday Review notes that some fifty million peo ple are on the move annually across national frontiers, and urges their lot be made easier so that they can in the words of President Eisenhower help in the search for world peace and pro motion of well-being and security among nations.

Meyer Lansky, who helped de parted President Fulgencio Batis ta organize Havana's plushest in dustry, arrived in Florida Wednes day night "to see a doctor." He expressed some hope the new gov ernment would reopen the casi nos at least for tourist gambling. Some of his fellow gaming house operators were less eager to come to this country. At least one of them is wanted here for questioning by three law enforcement agencies about the murder of gangland s execution er" Albert Anastasia and the Ap alachin, N. Y., gangster conven tion that closely followed it. New York Dist. Atty. Frank S. Hogan has said he wants to talk to certain Havana gamblers who conferred with Anastasia a few days before the killing." New York police say they d be interested in talking to almost any Cuban gambler in the interest of solving the Anastasia murder mystery. They consider Anastasia s re ported attempt to muscle in on the lucrative Cuban gambling take as "one of the likeliest rea sons" he was shot to death in a Copco Foreman Escapes Injury A California Oregon Power Company labor foreman escaped with minor injuries Wednesday morning, when a dynamite cap exploded near him, while he was working on construction of a transmission line east of the Sprague River. A Copco spokesman reported that Joseph P. George, Medford, who was in charge of a hole digging crew, approached the dy namite cap to investigate the cause of a misfire. The explosion occurred while he was standing directly over the cap, and a quan tity of dirt was thrown in George's lace. Members of the crew immedi ately brought George the 40-odd miles into Klamath Valley Hospi tal, wnera it was determined that his eyes were not injured and he was released after treatment.

He is believed te have laughed off a "keep out" warning from Lansky's represen tatives shortly before he was slain. Cuban gambling was also be lieved well up on the agenda at the Apalachin convention held less than a month after Anastasia's death. Lansky didn't attend that meet ing, and he has already been questioned by police investigating the Anastasia case. A long - time racketeer with business ties to such big guns as Frank Costello, the late Moretti brothers, deport ed Joe Adonis, Phil Kastel and others, Lansky apparently enters and leaves the country with im punity, if not without surveil lance.
