Then... One of the
commodities tested at
Georgia’s Colonial
Experiment Station,
“Trustee’s Garden” at
savannah was olives. The
iy of the colony thought
light be suited to the
d the trees were tested in
me garden. Leaders envisioned that the olives,
and the oil made from them, would be a
valuable export commodity within the British
Empire. “After eight years of growth, the olive
plants bore fruit which failed to mature and
cultivation of the trees was abandoned.”
Now... I'Qo attempts are being made today
to grow olive trees in Georgia, but a number of
sources of vegetable oil have emerged since olive
trees were abandoned. Sizeable amounts of oil
are extracted from soybeans and Georgia
farmers produce more than 25 million bushels of
soybeans annually. Most of these beans are
processed into animal feeds with the oil
extracted for vegetable oils. Assuming these
soybeans contain 20 per cent oil, that means
about 300 million pounds of oil are now
supplied for the nation’s vegetable oil industry
from Georgia soybeans.

Patty
Judge tells jurors
they must decide
SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) -
The first big battle of the day
at the Patricia Hearst trial was
over her use of marijuana, LSD
and mescaline. The second was
over a psychiatrist’s contention
she “didn’t lie” on the witness
stand.
The prosecution won both.
Defense attorney F. Lee
Bailey leaped to his feet with a
shout Wednesday when
Prosecutor David Bancroft
began questioning psychiatrist
Louis West about the newspa
per heiress’ narcotics use prior
to her kidnaping.
“Is the government saying
that anyone who smokes grass
is a bank robber?” stormed
Bailey.
Bancroft said his purpose was
to show Miss Hearst was not
the “naive school girl” por
trayed by the psychiatrist. U.S.
District Court Judge Oliver
Carter permitted the cross
examination on the drug
questions.
It was Bancroft and Prosecu
tor James Browning Jr. who
objected when another defense
psychiatrist, Martin Orne, testi
fied Miss Hearst was not
“simulating” her story of
taking part in the Hibernia

“She didn’t lie,” said Ome, a
research psychiatrist and ex
pert in hypnosis at the
University of Pennsylvania.
After the prosecution objec
tions, Carter told the jurors
only they could decide if the 22-
year-old defendant told the
truth on the stand.
“No psychiatrist, no judge, no
lawyer or anyone else can
invade your province of decid
ing that,” the judge said.
Ome, who was still testifying
when the trial recessed until
today, then modified his stand,
saying he didn’t mean to state
flatly Miss Hearst did not lie.
Instead, he said, he meant
that when he asked questions
intended to sway her into
answers that would have been
favorable to her defense, she
passed up the chances. “Much
to my surprise, she wouldn’t
pick up the clues.”
Bancroft’s cross-examination
n of West, a UCLA psychiarist
and expert on brainwashing,
who said Miss Hearst’s 57 days
in a closet turned her into a
“child” eager to please her
kidnapers, took up most of the
day.
West said both Miss Hearst
and Steven Weed, her former
fiance, told him they used
marijuana and the illegal
hallucinogenic drugs LSD and
mescaline while they lived
together in Berkeley prior to
her kidnaping two years ago.
Weed told him he was
“growing grass on the back
porch” of their apartment and
that he introduced Miss Hearst
to marijuana “and she smoked
it on several occasions.”
Reflections on roller coaster test ride
PACIFIC, Mo. (UPI) - While
reporters bantered nervously,
construction workers applied the
finishing touches for the maiden voyage
of “The Screamin’ Eagle.”
So far only 100-pound sandbags had
made the trip on what is billed as the
world’s longest, tallest fastest roller
coaster — and it seemed one of those
was missing when the Eagle came back
around.
(“Seats are snug, comfortable,” a
reporter tells himself. “What’s this?
The safety bar won’t go down.
Workmen come to the rescue with
screwdrivers. Chink. Much better.
Thought they’d finished this thing ...”)

monster for the Six Flags Over Mid-
America amusement park, says it’s his
31st roller coaster — and his last.
“I was retired. They pulled me out of
the grave to build this one,” Allen said.
“I’m gonna ride with you boys — to look
for loose nuts and bolts.”
(“A smooth start. Beautiful view of
the surrounding forests. A nice, lazy
ride uphill. The old guy said it was a 55-
second ride, not counting the ‘mechani
cal pull’ here. Picking up speed into this
curve. My we’re gonna be
airborne ...”)
Vital statistics for the Eagle say the
track is 3,872 feet long with maximum
falls of 92 and 87 feet. It reaches speeds
of 62 miles per hour.

“It’s got some pretty good drops.
They’ll be swooping along like ducks,
flapping their wings,” Allen said with a
smile. “It won’t be a scary ride but it’ll
be a fast one.”
(“Jeez, we’re not riding, we’re falling
straight down. First my stomach is up
in the air and now it’s squashed down
into my pants. Ugh, scrambled eggs for
breakfast ...”)
There was a mini-rebellion on
inauguration day. The crews that had
been working on the project since May
thought they should get the first ride.
One worker leaned against a railing
within earshot of newsmen.
“We was gonna take a ride last night
but the thing kept leaving the
tracks. Some kind of problem with the
grease fittings,” he announced.
(“Whew. It’s slowing down. No, we’re
heading up another hill and this one’s
higher. Here we go plummeting down.
Can’t see anything — water streaming
down my cheeks. Tears of fright. Is that
me screaming? If I live through this,
Lord, I’ll never cross You again ...”)
Allen is a kindly looking gentleman
with a streak of the Marquis de Sade in
him.
“People will approach the Pearly
Gates on this ride and come back safe,”
he chuckled.
(“That’s the last of the big hills at
least. Here comes the short, quick dips.
Almost left the track on that last one.
