braries, state officials and the
public, Secreiary of State Mark
Hatfield said Tuesday.
The 1959-60 Blue Book has sev
eral new features which should
make it an even more valuable
reference woik than it has pre
viously been termed.
It is the first complete, revision
of text in the book in many years.
The Oregon history section, long
written by the late Dan Clark, pro
fessor emeritus at the University
of Oregon, has been accounted by
the Oregon Historical Society.
More easily read and more com
plete election statistics are in
cluded, including the vote for cur
rent legislators. Historical data on
refcrendums and initiatives has
been restored. A thumbnail bi
ography of legislators is also in
cluded and the final paragraph of
each board and commission cites
the main statutory provision for
the agency.
In format the hook is simple
with a full double column measure
adopted for easier reading. Even
telephone numbers of agencies are

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.

only invention of John Hyatt. 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.

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.

testing and experimentation.
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

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

But that's where it ends. The

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

NEW YORK (UPD The revolu
Kionary suspension of gambling in
Cuba posed both an employment
and a residence problem today for
some of the United States' busiest
expatriate racketeers.
Meyer Lansky, who helped de

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

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

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

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

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.
