The Orioles outbid 12 other major league clubs and several Pacific Coast League teams to sign the prep start catcher. Zupo, just graduated from Sacred Heart High School in San Francisco, is built along the lines of Yogi Berra, 5-feet 9V2-inches tall and weighing 190 pounds. He throws right and bats left. Crews Win Gruelling Baffle To Bring TV To Bozeman Bozeman, Mont. W A party of bearded construction workers and electronic experts has been proclaimed victorious in the gru eling wintertime "Battle of the Anceney Peaks." The men began their fight late last fall when, after extensive aerial surverys, the Bozeman Community Television system selected a spot on the 9,500-foot-high peaks for erection of a microwave relay station. The relay was designed to bring "live" television programs from an Idaho Falls station, KID TV, to the Bozeman system. Idaho Falls, in turn, has its own electronic link with the trans continental network through Salt Lake City TV stations. Road 40 Miles Long The Anceney Peaks are only 20 miles east of the Continental Divide. The repeater station was located 180 miles northeast of Idaho Falls and 31 airline miles southwest of Bozeman. However, the road from Boze man to the peaks traverses more than 40 miles, the last 12 over a stock trail from a ranch called Cow Camp" just off the Gallatin Gateway highway to Yellow stone Park. The crew members originally went to the station site by truck, but snows soon drifted over the trail blocking the road so the truck could not get out after bringing in initial supplies A small cinder-block house was constructed during weather so bad that the blocks had to be heated and then passed to a ma son who, his visibility impaired bv drifting snow, put them in place "by feel." The predominant wind is so strong that the scrub pine on the crest of the Deaks have no branches on their southwest side Construction of the facility kept up during the winter by men who made their way to the site on special "snow-cat," ma chines equipped with wide treads to travel over the snow which reaches a depth of 35 feet in the area. The crews that remained in the new building had to sleep in hammocks suspended over the jammed-in microwave gear, gen erators and heaters. Sometimes they slept outside in improvised tents. Tower Dropped A 60-foot tower was dropped on the site, in 20-foot sections, by light plane. The aircraft also brought food and such instru ments as a delicate field strength meter that was encased in a huge padded box to ease its fall into the snow drifts. During the middle of the win ter, the temperature on Anceney Peaks dropped to 36 degrees be low zero, while winds of 60 to 100 miles an hour were not un common. By spring, the battle was fi nally won. the new microwave link formally dedicated and the crews left the mountain. As they came down, the ranchers at "Cow Camp" admitted they were wrong when thev insisted the job couldn't be done during a Montana winter. New Apple Fills Gap By Early Development Geneva, N.Y. API A fall ap ple that ripens about two weeks ahead of the popular Mcintosh, filling the gap between that va riety and Early Mcintosh, has been introduced by the New York State experiment station here. The new apple has been named "Barry" in honor of Pat rick Barry and his son, William, of the once-famous Elwanger and Barry Nursery at Rochester, N.Y. It was developed from a c-oss made in 1923 between Mc intosh and Cox Orange, an old European variety of very high quality but little known in the United States. The Barry is rated high as a desert apple. It is especially rec ommended as a home garden variety. Catskinner Killed in Jump From Tractor Springfield. Ore. IF John K. Van Orden, 45, Blue River, a catskinner for the Rosboro Lum ber Co., here, died of head and body injuries Tuesday afternoon en route to a Eugene Hospital after he apparently jumped from a runaway tractor that rolled down a steep hill about 40 miles east of here. Van Orden is survived by a wife and two sons. Greek Immigrant Praises New Home Fort Carson, Colo. Wl A Greek immigrant recently draft ed into the U. S. Army has nothing but praise for his adopt ed country. The immigrant, George Kara- volos. stationed at Fort Carson. already had chalked up two years of service in the Merchant Marine when he was drafted. He has been in this country since 1952. While in the Merchant Marine Karavolos had an opportunity to visit his sweetheart In Greece. He married her and brought her back to Decatur, 111. As a small boy in Greece, Karavolos, now the father of two children, fled from the Nazis in a rowboat with his parents. After the war he finished high school in his homeland before immigrating to America. "I'd never realized that there could be a country in the world as fine as the United States," Karavolos said at Camp Carson. "We had always heard so much about it in Greece, but it is even much more wonderful than I'd thought it could be." New Plane Traffic Control Aid Devised Rochester, N.Y. TP Strom-berg-Carlson, a division of Gen eral Dynamics Corp., has de veloped a new system for auto matic transmission of flight in formation from aircraft to ground control centers. The sys tem is expected to become an important aid in air traffic con tiol. Called LABIL (light aircraft binary information link), the system enables a pilot to trans mit automatically 13 separate categories of information to a control tower with the flip of a switch. The information entered into the system by the pilot through adjustment of control selection knobs, includes such data as identification, departure point, destination, estimated time of ar rival, present position, altitude, airspeed, time of report, head ing, flight time remaining and other data. The data filters through an error detector and is then passed to a teletypewriter print-out de vice. Information failing the er ror check appears as blank spac es in the printed text and is iden tifiable. The mobile LABIL unit is only 13 inches high, 10 inches wide and 6 inches deep. It weighs 25 pounds. 500 Motives Exist To Influence Consumers Los Angeles IIP) A Univer sity of California professor of marketing says that although at least 600 motives exist, usually only from five to 20 different motives influence an individ ual's decision to buy a specific product at a given time. Dr. C. Joseph Clawson is en gaged in putting together the first large inventory of motives which influence consumers to buy. His study consists of moti vational research conducted by 300 business firms across the nation. He found that reasons some times are extremely subtle. For example, manufacturers of in stant coffee found that sales in creased when they began to ad vertise elaborate ways of mak ing instant coffee because this seemed to allay fears of women that they would be considered poor hostesses, neglectful of their families, or slovenly in their habits.

HP) Oil in dustry scientists are working here to perfect a lubricant to serve the atomic age. The big problem is to keep oils from turning into a crusty hard mass when exposed to radiation. Scientists at California Re search Corp. (subsidiary of Standard Oil Co. of California) carried out the experiment!, that led to development of lubricants used on the atomic submarine U.S.S. Nautilus. Most of the work Cal Research does at its laboratories here for the Defense Department is class ified. But A. H. Batchelder, vice of the Richmond laboratory, ad president and general manager mitted that progress in develop ment of radiation-resistant lu bricants has been "spectacular." Scientists experiment with scores of different lubricants and then subject them to radio active cobalt bombardments to see how they stand up. Batch elder said oil research has kept pace with developments in peace time atomic energy. SAWDUST Phone SP 3-6297 McGinty Fuel Go. Alcoholic Beverage Taxes $542 Million Chicago (1?) Taxes on alco holic beverages put S542 million in state government coffers in fiscal 1956, according to the Federation of Tax Administrators. The federation said almost 65 per cent of the amount came from taxes on distilled spirits. The federation said 29 states impose a tax on distilled spirits, and 16 others obtain revenue from liquor consumption through state-operated liquor stores. Liquor is sold through county operated stores in North Caro lina. In Mississippi and Okla homa, no sale of liquor is per mitted. For the 29 states where dis tilled liquors are taxed, the aver age tax rate per gallon is SI. 65. federation records showed. Eight states levy taxes above S2.00, while three tax at a rate of less than $1.00.
