When company president Ed Morgan and vice president and chief engineer Karl Bacon took their first look at the amusement field they felt it was in a rut of ferris wheels, oval train ridee and shooting galleries. Tried Something New They decided to One of the first results was Mr Toad's Wild Ride Ride through scenes of "Wind in the Willows'" at Disneyland.

(Disney Productions, which since has been supplied $1 million worth of equipment by Arrow, now holds a third interest in the company.) Then a huge plant of the Lockheed Missiles and Space Division which works on the underwater Polaris missile, the Agena and Samos satellites, arrived in nearby Sunnyvale. It injected space age thinking into the bay area, some of which rubbed off on Arrow. For Seattle's Century 21 world fair. Arrow has created a Space Whirl ride.around a 25-foot-high rocket.

Autos for New York In the planning stage but projected as almost certain for the New York World's Fair of 1964 is the car ride of the-future. Plans call for operation of 150 four-passenger cars with glass tops. Drivers control the cars for the first 500 to 600 feet, then an automatic control system takes over automatically for the other 3,500 feet, But Arrow's imagination also can look backwards. Just recently the firm began exporting to Blackpool Pleasure Beach in England--world's largest amusement park--4 creation of a ride through Alice in Wonderland, housed in a square-foot stone castle. It begins with the sensation of tumbling 30 feet down the rabbit hole.

It progresses through a tiny door and a mammoth door, past the croquet party witti flamingo heads for mallets. The Mad Hatter, the Queen, Tweedledee and Tweedledum, a 40-foot caterpillar.

A long dispute has raged over the route the Blue Ridge Parkway will follow across the moun- a tourist atractwn owned ay Morton. Highway Chairman Merrill Evans said the commission planned to hear from Wirth and Morton and "anyone else who would like bo be heard." Pointing out that no decision would be reached today, Evans said reasonable length of time and take whatever action appears appropriate." Wirth wants the parkway to cross the mountain at a high level route, a stretch of -about seven miles.

Missing is the somewhat frightening overtine imposed by the Queen when she snapped, "Off with their heads." "We have chom rather to tackle it from the standpoint of a child's pleasant fantasy," an Arrow spokesman said. The Wonderland export marks Arrow's debut in the foreign field. Beer Company Job The firm also is working on a big project which amounts to a marriage of the business world and the. amusement field.

A major beer firm has commissioned Arrow to build an automatic skyrail which wiE take tourists at the rate of 3,000 an hour around, over and through a big brewery in California. "While the cars, suspended from rails, are moved by electrical power at heights up to 65 feet, tape recorders tell the passengers what they are seeing. The cars finally enter the plant and move through the bottling section. The project now is in its engineering phase. It.

JERUSAJUCK (AP) Ekhmann is seeking United Nans and West German help to save Mm from an laraeli Sources said Ckhmano pleaded with his defense counsel, Dr. Robert Servatiuj, to petition the United Nations and Bonn to intervene on his behalf. Serva'tius said he would, but.cautioned the former Gestapo colonel that ht might be executed before either body could act. Eiotimann reportedly replied that he would rather be executed than 'spend the rest of nil life in prison.

Nevertheless, he ftfrwd to write an appeal for clemency to Israeli President Izhak Ben-Zvi. The appeal was the last course open to Eiebmann in Israel following the Supreme Court's affirmation Tuesday of the-death sentence imposed on Eichmann last December for his part in the Nazi slaughter of 6 million European Jews. Servatius submitted Eichmann's four-page personal appeal and one of his own to Ben-Zvi Wednesday requesting, as a government announcement said, "that the death sentence not be carried out." Eichmann's wife, Vera, and his brother, Robert, also cabled appeals to the president from Europe Wednesday night. Ben-Zvi's decision may come next week. Denial of the petitions could mean a June hanging at Ramleh Prison, near Tel Aviv, where Eichmann is held in solitary confinement.

Eichmann's spiritual adviser, the Rev. William Hull, said he expects to call on Eichmann in his prison cell every day "to continue hammering away at him in an effort to make him see the light." The Canada-born Protestant clergyman said several weeks ago that Eichmann bad not repented.
