fOUR ALARM SYSTEMS GUARD RARE TREASURES

WASHINGTON UBRART HAS PRICELESS BOOK1

By HENRY CATHCART Central Press Washington Writer TSTASHINGTON—This city has just become the site of one ol W the finest of rare book libraries, located at Washingtoc Cathedral. Scholars and the public may soon gaze upon a number of priceless items, such as one of only 43 existing copiei of the Gutenberg Bible, the first Old Testament to be printec in English and the first issue of the first Book of Commor 5 Prayer of the Anglican Church. » Also on view will be rare illuminated manu- ♦ A scripts and miniature sacred works dating from the 9th through the 14th centuries. As these books were gathered together with utmost care, so extreme measures are taken to guard against damage or theft. And this

has been done, too.

There is an alarm system that will warn if automatic controls permit temperature to vary more than three degrees or humidity by more than 5 per cent. Another control will warn of the presence of flame or smoke. An alarm will sound if anyone should attempt to enter the library after it has been closed for the day. And there’s still a fourth alarm system that protects against thefts from exhibit cases, even during exhibition hours.

G THE TAX MAN—Internal Revenue Service has many ideas as to how it can make its tax collections from the public more complete and accurate. But Congress, which is elected by that same public, doesn’t like the possible reaction to too much ef* flciency in tax collecting. IRS asked Congress for money to employ 3.700 new persons in the agency and showed where each one of them would result in federal tax collections totaling many times the salaries they’d be paid. The House, the most sensitive branch of Congress when it comes to public reaction, limited the total to 1,200. The Senate, however, has taken a brave step. It tentatively increased this figure to 2.500. Worse yet for taxpayers, the Senate has taken steps to restore money for the IRS to continue to use electronic equipment— computers—in checking on taxpayers. The House had cut out entirely funds the IRS needed for this purpose. * * * * G CURRENT WISECRACK—White House secretaries ask if you’vo seen the new LBJ toy: Wind it and you move! * * * • G COMPREHENSIVE COMPUTER— The U. S. Census Bureau has a huge computer and every once in a while it grinds out •ome most fascinating statistics. Here are some examples: Single girls tend to go to the city. There are more of them in metropolitan areas than in non-metropolitan

areas.

The proportion of single farm girls to all farm girls is even higher than in the city, but there aren’t so many farmers’ daughters anymore. The trend toward early marriages seems to be

tapering off. Last year the average age at marriage of females was 20.5 years—.4 years older than the average 10 years ago. About 7.8 million people, one out of every 25. live alone.

But the computer doesn’t say whether they like it.

Financial Gossip WASHINGTON UPI — The eoet of living climbed by threetenths of one per cent in April to a new record high, the Labor Department reported today. Higher prices for gasoline, fresh fhiits and vegetables, eggs, tobacco and consumer aervices contributed to the biggest monthly increase since last July. Factory’ workers’ take-home pay fell about 41.25 a week and their buying power declined -.5 per cent from the record levels of March. The Labor Department said Its consumer price index climbed to 109 3 per cent of average 1957-59 prices—1.4 per cent above the level of a year •go. This means it cost the typical consumer 410.93 to buy the •ame goods and services that aold for 410 in 1957-59. The rise nicked two cents off the buying power of a 410 bill. Another small increase in living costs this month was forecast by Sidney Jaffe, deputy assistant commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistcis. Asked if the April rise was •nusual, Jaffe replied: “It’s a little out of bounds but not trejnendously." The Agriculture Department ■aid Wednesday that consumer food prices at the grocery store level had shot up during the past year and would continue to increase, although at a more

moderate level.

Some food and grocery prices are almost double what they were a year ago. officials said. Meat prices have increased substantially and frost damage to last fall’s potato crop has raised the price of that staple as much as 50 per cent. The change in the price index triggered one-cent hourly pay

By Gaylord Godwin WASHINGTON UPI — The United Kingdom is the largest import market in the world for food and agricultural products and probably is the most competitive. according to the Agliculture Department. Consumers in the U n i t • d Kingdom in 1964 spent almost 415.5 billion for food. Beoause there are only about 18.5 mil- | lion tillable acres in the United Kingdom, and the population is about 54 million, about half of the country’s food requirements must be imported. The Agriculture Department .said the U. S. share of this big market for food and other farm products amounted to about $450 million in 1964. The chief U. S. items sold in the U.K. were raw products, such as feed grains, cotton and tobacco. The list also included some 300 different items, mainly foods that were packaged, canned, frozen or semi-processed. The U.K.’s main suppliers are the Commonwealth countries. These countries enjoy an import - duty preference, although imports from all countriee are relatively free and duties are not required, or are generally low compared to most other countries. The department said the drive to get and hold a share of the British market is keen and continuous. Foreign suppliers of food and agricultural products to this lush market, as well as local producers and processors, spend millions of pounds sterling to promote their products and attract buyers. The department said they use every conceivable market promotion medium to attract customers. Hundreds of public relations outfits continuously develop new schemes for bringing a client's product to the public

eye.

The department said food shows and exhibitions are popular promotion media.

Growing Power Of Shareowners NEW YORK (UPI)—Shareowners can become American inouairy s must vigorous supporters if they are made to realize their importance to the corporate scene, according to a prominent publicist. Gerry Swinehart, chairman of the board of Carl Byoir & Associates, public relations firm, says that by 1980 there probably wil be more than 35 million shareowners, compared with 17 million now owning stock in U.S. companies. In an article in the Public Relations Journal, Swinehart says one of the greatest dangers to the nation is public ignorance of elementary economics. He says the public in general does not fully understand the American free enterprise system. The solution, he says, is that management should make shareowners aware it seeks their support as strong allies in political and economic discussion and contracts, adding that public relations must make ever increasing contributions to business and industrial organizations.

From Astronaut To Aquanaut SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) — Astronaut Scott Carpenter, who has explored the far reaches of space, will get a chance this summer to go in the other direction. Workers at the san Francisco Naval Shipyard are constructing a special steel cylinder that will take Carpenter and nine other men to a depth of 230 feet off La Jolla, near San Diego, Calif., in July. The men aboard the 4200,000 cylinder, called the Sea Lab II, will remain underwater for 15 days. The "aquanauts" will venture outside the undersea vessel in pressurized suits for two onehour periods each day. They will'

determine how well man can function at such depths. The group will come up on the 16th day and be replaced by another crew. Two members of the original contingent, possibly including Carpenter, will stay on board for the entire 30-day experipient. If successful, the experiment may be carried out later at 400 feet and then at greater depths. The navy’s experiment is designed to see if divers can work at depths of 1,000 feet or more. This could save lives should a submarine run into trouble at such a depth.
