NOW PLAYING! Quietest Man Prepares Var HERTFORD, England (UPI) - Sh-h-h-h-h h! Tiptoe gently and don't slam the door when you visit Sir Walter Hannay. He's the quietest man in England. Sir Walter, chairman of the Na tional Council of the Noise Abate ment Society, is silently preparing another quiet assault on the noise- makers of the country. With his wife, a historical novel ist, Sir Walter lives in seclusion near here in a mansion fitted out with gadgets to keep out noise. Vacuum hinges stop the doors from banging. Wall-to-wall car pels cover the floors. The door bell and the telephone bells are mulfled. The windows are padded to keep out intruding noises. The efrigerator is fitted with a silen er to dull the hum of the motor. His wife said that during a World War II air raid she rattled a bottle of sleeping pills one night and her husband bawled her out saying: "Stop that blasted noise." Even Henry, the family bulldog. doesn't bark. The Hannay's own no television set and only a tiny radio. Hannay, a lop neurologist, said London is getting noisier each year and that his society is plan ning the new assault by having a sympathetic member of Parlia ment introduce a bill to amend the present noise control act.

Mark Hatlield again said Sunday all state agencies should have main offices in Salem. He said he wasn't altogether speaking in jest when he told the tale Board of Control at a recent meeting that the state should sell its office building in Portland and move the headquarters to the state capital. Hatfield said that if enough facilities become available in Salem while he still is governor, he will strongly advocate the shift. He said administrative efficien cy would be served by moving to Salem such agencies as the Wei fore Commission, the Board of Health and the System of Higher Education. The commission and the board now have Portland headquarters The education system of I ice is at Eugene. Hatfield reported good progress in attracting new industry to Ore gon and said that before the year is over, he expects to be able to disclose "the greatest develop ment in Oregon industry in the past 50 years. He said the Portland newspaper strike is starting to hurt labor- management relations in the state and should be settled before it dis courages business from moving into Oregon. Looking ahead to the twit ses sion of the Legislature Hatfield said he already is preparing a budget not based on any new taxes. Instead, he said, he will ask the lawmakers to eliminate equities in the state's structure to elimin ate inequities and broaden the base through a net receipts tax. lie explained this will involve mainly reorganization of the tax structure. Hatfield warned that unless this is done, the state will have to lind new levies, possibly including ;i sales tax.

In the following article, first of several he is writing for the Miami Herald, Zayas tells of his feelings about Cuba today. By JORGE ZAYAS Copyright 1960 by the Miami Herald Publishing Co.; distribut ed by The Associated Press MIAMI (AP) I helped Fidel Castro get into power because I thought he was good for Cuba. I was wrong. Now I must speak out in hopes .i:..L. I of helping my country rid itself.and those same hopes "' now see shattered oy wc -u - nist beliefs of Castro. of him. It's not that I am a mar lyr but because: As a Catholic, I am opposed to communism. As an editor, I cannot conceive of true democracy without free dom of the press. As a descendant of Cuban pa triotsmy grand uncle Alfredo Zayas was president of Cuba from 1M22 to 1926 and another grand uncle, Gen. Juan Kruno Zayas, died on the battlefield fighting for Cuban independence I can not disgrace their memory. But let me tell my story from the beginning ... of my hopes which rose so high when the Ba tista dictatorship was overthrown Freight Wreck Being Checked Beatniks Said Dope Addicts SAN FRANCISCO (UPD-A pri vale investigator who gathered evidence for a major narcotics raid in the North Beach district here, estimated today that 75 per cent of the "beatnik inhabitants of the area smoke marijuana at some time or another. Robert A. Estes, 23, a former professional baseball player, lived as a beatnik with two state agents to gain evidence that resulted in 23 arrests in nightlong raids Fri aa.v. ' , He told of being forced to take part in robberies and witnessing sex orgies while gathering evidence. Estes grew a beard, wrote poe try and sat on the sidewalk play ing a harmonica while acting his ohemian role. He admitted that his fellow beatniks did not like lis poetry and found it "too square." I estimate that 75 per cent of the beatniks on the Beach smoke weed marijuana at sortie time or another," Estes said today. "I hate what dope does to people. ! will for the rest of my life." He said he and state agents Jack Sutton and Henry Lopez were forced to go along on rob beries or lose their status with the beatniks. In one case, he said, thay managed to 'tip police so that their companions were arrested. He said he attended a party at the house of a prostitute in the Fillmore District. 'There were about 30 people there. By midnight, there was weed all over the place," he said "In the bedroom, there were six guys and one girl. We were in a fix. We were undercover, yet this girl was being raped. Finally we persuaded two of the other girls to help her. 'The -started putting her clothes back on. but the hostess shouldered them aside. She took the girl to her car and drove her to a hotel. She sold the room key to a man and he stayed all night," Estes said. What is Estes' opinion of the city's much-discussed beatnik population? "For my money, they're dirty. they're lazy, they're bums and they're crooks," he said. "For the most part they have deep inferior ity complexes that only disappear when they mix together." federal charge of transporting a stolen car was taken by observers of the case as a tacit admission that investigators have run into a deadend. Spears, a self-styled doctor and an ex-convict, was arrested Wednesday on suspicion of driv ing the auto of William Allen lay lor, Tampa, Fla., to Phoenix Taylor was the man Spears has admitted took his place aboard the airliner which crashed. Cause of the crash was still un der investigation. Agents confronted Spears in marathon questioning sessions Thursday and Friday with the fact that: . He was presumed killed in the plane crash and hid away aft er the crash. He held a $100,000 travel in surance policy whicn nis wile stood to collect with his supposed death. A cache of dynamite and in gredients for a home-made bomb were found at his New River Ariz., hideaway. He was facing trial on abor lion charges in Los Angeles which he stood to have canceled with his supposed death. ' Spears, however, appeared un ruffled by the questioning ses sions. Asked if he would like to talk to reporters, he answered: "It wouldn't do them any good to be able to talk to me. I haven't a thing to say to any of them." Los Angeles authorities said they would seek trial of Spears on two counts of abortion and one of conspiracy after federal author ities are finished with him. Spears could receive a maximum sen tence of five years in jail and $5,000 fine on the auto charge. SUMAS (Whatcom County), Wash.

Cir- cuiauoa Manager at TUxedo htm Navy Planning Probe Of Gulf NEW ORLEANS (AP) - The Navy today planned to probe the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico for wreckage of a National Airlines plane that carried 42 persons to their death two months ago. Investigators hoped the' wreck age might tell them whether a bomb explosion sent the DC7B hurtling into the water Nov. 16. They also sought to determine if a missing Tampa man was one of the 29 persons whose bodies have not yet been found. The missing man, William A. Taylor, 69, was a friend of Rob ert Vernon Spears who was listed as a heavily insured passenger on the plane but turned up alive in Phoenix, Ariz., last week.. The FBI said the 65-ycar-old na turopath, , who took out $100,000 flight insurance in his own name, had blasting equipment in his lug gage when he was arrested. Taylor's divorced wife -said she believed Spears may have hypno tized Taylor into taking his place on the doomed plane. Two Navy vessels headed to ward the tip of Louisiana to in vestigate an object, located by sound gear, under several hun dred feet of water. "It's a bad mess," Ackley said. 'They (the cars) are tipped over, upside down and every which way. The derailment occurred about 7 p.m. on tracks between Nook sack and Dcming in northern Whatcom County. The engine and first car remained upright. The following 14 cars were derailed and the next 39 cars remained on the tracks. The Northern Pacific was re routing its trains from Sumas to Bellingham over Milwaukee Road tracks, then on to Seattle on its own facilities. The train was bound from Su mas, on the Washington-Canadian border, .to Auburn. It was loaded with a variety of freight, including potatoes, ore, quartz and shakes. An estimate of damage was not immediately available. u-hon the Castro forces began to make a real fight against Ba tista my newspaper worked close ly with the 26th of July Move- ment. We were the only news paper which cooperated by refus ing to publish in the protest strike called against the Batista govern ment. Later my newspaper was the only one of the Havana dailies to send correspondents to the Castro rebel camps in the hills. I didn't do us any good, however, because about that time Batista clamped down censorship. When the Castro forces were victorious on Jan. 1, 193. I was elated. It was, I believed, a glori ous day for Cuba. On that occa sion, I formally took over as edi tor of our newspaper from my mother. I had not wanted to be editor previously because I felt I could never do justice to the position with Batista stifling my voice. When it became more and more apparent that Castro was carry ing my country toward a com munistic dictatorship, I began to protest editorially. Last Novem ber, at a journalistic seminar in New York. I was very critical. Castro didn't like it. When 1 re turned, I was detained for more than an hour at the Havana Air port while his agents cross-examined me. It quickly became obvious that he was trying tq scare me. I knew then my days were num bered and I had better start plan ning for a quick getaway. Castro was particularly bitter in charging that I was entering into a conspiracy with the U.S. Stati Department, un uus cnarge, I an. iwered mm inrougn ine columni of the Miami Herald. Certainly, ( had visited the Slate Department while in wasningion. with me were 14 other Latin American newspapermen. We went there nnt to conspire but to observe its oper. ations. Most wrote articles about our visit. , A few days afler my detention at the airport, Castro police pound ! on my door at about 1:30 a m, I was reading in bed. They were polite and apolonetis, They said they had "a stupid re port" that an arms cache was hid. den in my home. Their search was casual. It was just another way of Iry. ing to terrify me. About Dec. 20, Castro and I had another clash. During a labor union rally at i large Havana theater, David 6al. vador, general secretary of thj Cuban Federation of Labor and S longtime Communist, urged that my newspaper be confiscated and iU editors shot. Later, Castro spoke. He support ed Salvador instead of cautioning him. Castro called Avance a coun terrevolutionary newspaper. The next day a law was passed decreeing that all properties of counterrevolutionaries would bt confiscated. I knew - time was running out for me.
