FamouS Autograph Collection Offered for Sale at $7,000 :..! ' I , By Irving K. Levlne ; INNSBRUCK," Austria INS) For sale: the world's "bio? sollection of famous autographs. Price: $7,000 maybe a little less. . Apply to Anton Hauptmann, a gaunt little man with a gold toothed smile who carries his encyclopedia-sized autograph book with him to work every day at Innsbruck's bomb-ventilated railroad station. Famous Signers It has taken Hauptmann 28 of Us 55 years and hundreds of thousands of miles of travel by ship, train, canoe, donkey and on foot to collect his impressive 3,000 autographs of bigwigs. ' It takes a man of some distinc tion to rate an invitation from Hauptmann .to add his signature to the company of 10 American residents, 10 kings. 3$ cardinals, IS maharajahs, 50 field marshals, 400 ambassadors, and three sul tans, not to mention Mary Pick ford, Mahatma Ghandl and George Bernard Shaw. The galaxy of autographs are writen in SO languages. Including Sanskrit. - i Speaks C Languages I Hauptmann, who can get along hi six languages, now is employed by the French Occupation Forces in the Tyrolian capital of Inns bruck as the railroad station in , tarpreter where he mixes business with his hobby by button-holing transiting celebrities for auto- Saphs. The persistent Haupt ann seldom is turned down. The toughest autograph to ac quire, according to Hauptmann, ' was that of Ghandi. For four days, the persistent Hauptmann tried unsuccessfully to obtain an aud ience with the Indian religious leader. But Ghandl was too busy with ther problems and big routine, kept putting Hauptmann oft Finally the. little Austrian, born la Bolzano when that Italian bor der city was a part of the Austro ungarian empire, discovered that sen morning Ghandi went off to Ky beneath a remote banyan At four a .m. the next day Hauptmann was waiting at the banyan tree when Ghandi arrived. Shaw's Signature fGhandi was as pleasant as could i be," recalled Hauptmann, he chatted with me for a few sninutes in perfect English and I told him how toot I had been trying to get his autograph, "You have much patience and Production of Hybrid Chicks Jumps Yearly By Ley iBrady CHICAGO-(iiP)-The son of the man who helped pioneer the de velopment of hybrid corn says pro duction of hybrid chickens Is moving swiftly along parallel lines. H. B. Wallace of Des Moines, la., son of former Vic President Hen ry A. Wallace, predicts that hy brid chicken development may bring results almost as fabulous as have been achieved in hybrid corn. 't The younger Wallace Is mana ger of the Hy-line Poultry farms, the largest of six companies which make up the hybrid chick indus try. He gives these figures for Iowa alone: During the current year 7,000, 000 hybrid chickens have been sold at an average price of 29 cents per chick. This is approximately one-ninth of the total number of chicks sold, in Iowa this year. Hybrid corn was first sold In Iowa in 1926. By 1932, Wallace said, it formed one-half of one per cent of the total corn crop in the state. By 1936 this had grown to 14.4 per cent, to 96.9 per cent in 1941, and to 100 per cent by 1946. "The usage curves of corn and chickens coincide almost exactly, both for Iowa and the nation," Wallace said in an interview dur ing a business trip to Chicago. "In seven years I should guess that 75 per cent of the entire corn belt chicken flocks will be hybrid In-breeding of corn, has greatly increased the per acre yields, he added. He foresaw these similar ! advantages from hybrid chicks: endurance said Ghandl, and ne Drid chicks wiU produce on the average for a year, four dozen more eggs per bird than will stand ard lines. Better egg quality "Eggs are of uniform size and shape and this can be controlled by breeding the shell texture is good, and the interior quality Is high. This means the farmer gets the maxi mum price per egg rather than a spotty average depending upon the spotty output of standard lines." More uniform output "hybrids are relatively unaffected -by such things as cold weather and molt ing, which lower egg output They also are more disease resistant" Wallace estimated hybrid chick ens this year have increased Iowa farmers' income by $4,500,000. For Illinois he estimated the increase at $1,560,000, and said similar boosts can be found in other egg producing states. , t "This is solely the result of greater production per bird," he went on. "Intangibles , such as heavier eggs and more uniform quality have not been considered." The chicks, he said, are pro duced by exactly the sane method as Is hybrid corn by controlled mating of brother and sister. Thus, if chick A" comes of a line erryin cood Interior tn quality freedom from blood spots, for example and chick B'" line produces good-sized eggs, the two are mated. The desired quality is fixed in succeeding gen erations by mating brother and sister of the A-B hatch. In corn, pollination is rigidly controlled the same way to achieve the same ends. Biologically, it is the in-breeding which fixes the de sired charactcruUc wrote his name in my book. Hauptmann also Is proud of his George Bernard Shaw Inscription, land claims he was the fifth man In the world at that time, to suc ceed in acquiring the playwright's "autograph. Thi was in London In 1929 and Hauptmann, huge crap book In hand, climbed the steps to Shaw's apartment at No. Whitehall Court where the maid promptly slammed the door in his face when be explained his mis sion. -' Began la Califerala Hauptmann. not easily deterred, tang again and this time Shaw pened the door. Shaw apparently was fascinated by the massive black beard Hauptmann sported at that time. Invited him in, exam ined the autograph collection and then added his own. Thfc autograph-hunting career Vegan In 1111 to San Francisco where the youthful Hauptmann kad laid over ! for a time on a work-as-you-go trip around the world. At that time his objective was aimcOT to see the world but after gathering his first autograph, that of San Francisco Mayor ltolph, Hauptmann changed his I ebiective and began a career of ravelin to dean autographs. The venture was financed by lobs as varied as his collection. Three rears ago, Hauptmann recalled, an American offered to kirn close to. $7,000 for what he considers the biggest collection tn the world. Hauptmann refused but now that the itinerant autograph-hunter was recently mar ried - and has settled down, he ould use gome extra money.
