The mirrors, of a wide angle view convex design manufactured by Norman In dustries, Inc., Chicago, have been installed in over 300 drug, hardware, grocery and supermarkets here in recent months. Mounted on walls and counters, the convex mirrors expose aisles which normally would be hidden from view of store personnel. They elimi nate the privacy which shop lifters dearly love and need to operate. "Since we installed seven mirrors, pilfering has been cut at least 15 per cent," said the manager of one super market. "And the mirrors have halted price label switching." COPPER MAN DIES New York -(DPD- Carl T.

He recently re turned from a three-week tour of northeast and southeast Asia.) Br ARNOLD DIBBLE Tokyo - (DPD - Two years ago, the United States was in trouble on its key western Pacific base of Okinawa and there was invidious-although erroneous references to it as the "Cyprus of the Pacific." Today, the picture is far brighter. Personal income is up; pric es are virtually stable, the the gross national product is rising; savings are increasing; foreign investors are becom ing increasingly interested; the general health and wel fare are better; and the U.S. dollar is the coin of the realm. Many things have happen ed since the winter of 1957-58 when the then High Commis sioner, Lt. Gen. James Moore, felt compelled to dismiss the leftist mayor of the Okinawan capital city of Nana only to see another left-winger elect ed to succeed him. Annual Rental Plan The most important of these was the introduction of the dollar currency a year ago and institution of the annual ren tal plan rather than lump sum payments for the use of land. All of these "changes have been wrought under a new team: the new high commis sioner, graying, personable, Lt. Gen. Donald P. Booth, and the new U.S. Civil Adminis trator of the Ryukyus, Brig. Gen. John G. Ondrick. To understand the value to the United States of Okinawa, which the U.S. "bought" with 37,000 casualties near the end of World War II, it must be realized that it is the only area in the western Pacific where the U.S. can operate without restriction. If the United States wants to, it can bring in nuclear weapons to Okinawa as a so bering deterrent to Red China only . 400 miles away - and presumably - it had done this. No Consultations In case of hostilities - big or small - the United States can dispose its forces at will on Okinawa without consult ing any foreign government. There is no such ready, vital mobility anywhere else in Asia. ; To preserve today's happier state of affairs, one thing is vital: The feeling of the Oki nawans for return to Japan (which was given "residual" sovereignty over the Ryukyus in the U.S.-Japan peace trea ty) must be kept under what one high official termed "man ageable proportions." The Okinawans are a peace able people, but even passive resistance or stormy political agitation would greatly ham per the effectiveness of the U.S. military establishment there. It is to this end that all the reforms have been dedicated. But more - not much more - is needed. American offi cials have been pleading with 'Congress to pass the bill in troduced by ReprMelvin Price (D-Ill.) which would give about $S million in aid to the Ryukyuans. This money would come from the taxes paid by Americans in the islands. Drop in Bucket As foreign aid goes, it would be a mere drop in the bucket. But it would enable the United States to do a great many im portant things to help its friends and benefit its wards -the only outright wards of the U.S. government in the world. It would, for example, en able school teachers in Oki nawan schools to make as much money as their Japan ese counterparts. Many other projects just as important could be launched if only a steady, though small, aid income were guaranteed. There is no doubt that the 849,000 Ryukyuans - 720,000 Bar Bandit Shies At Self Service Bartow, Fla. Jt was a real money saving move when bar tender Jack G. Howley cooly told a youth .to Tielp your self" to the money in the cash register. Howley was alone when the youth entered, brandish ing a pair of pistols and or dering him to hand over the contents of the cash register. The casual response so un nerved the bandit that be fled empty-handed. of them on Okinawa-are bet ter off than ever before. Though the Okinawans are packed 1,478 persons to a square mile - the most dense ly populated area in the world - the health has im proved to a point where life expectancy has increased by 20 years in the last genera tion and a half. Death rates have dropped dramatically. The average income-though still low by world standards -increased from $174 per year to $182 per year in 1959; the gross national product from $166.7 million to $176 million. The retail price index, mean while, has risen only from 93.2 to 93.9 - an increase of but 710th of one per cent. During the first eight Hometown Honors Sinclair Lewis Sauk Centre, Minn. - (UPD -This is "Sinclair Lewis year" here, the hometown of the Nobel prize winning author and the prototype of his nov el, "Main Street." Although residents were slow to welcome Lewis back after publication of "Main Street," the town now points with pride to its most out standing citizen. Lewis, who died in 1951, would have been 75 Feb. 7, but his birthdate was cele brated here Feb. 11. He is buried here beside his father, a country doctor who was the model for Dr. Kennicott in "Main Street." Special programs during the year will feature a dis play of Lewis' memorabilia, including items which have not been on public - display before.

HELICOPTER LINES London (DPD Radio Mos cow announced . today that more than. 200 helicopter lines will be opened, shortly in the Soviet Union. months after the dollar cur rency was instituted in Sep tember, 1958, savings rose from $48 million to $56 mil lion and are now approaching the $60-million mark. More and more Americans, inciden tally, are putting their sav ings into Okinawan banks where for a two-year time deposit - you can earn up to seven per cent interest. More and more foreign in vestors are eyeing Okinawa especially since Ondrick and his staff have shown signs of actively working to cut much of the red tape that previous ly hampered foreign invest ment efforts. Value Increased All of these economic steps, of course, increase the intrin sic military value of the 69-mile-long island, which rang es from 2 to 19 miles wide. Okinawa is the site of two large airfields - Naha and Ka dena and the home base of Brig. Gen. Dale O. Smith's 313th Air Division; home of the Third Marine Division, ready and rough for brush fires anywhere in Asia; and small Army and Navy units. MAIL TRUUNE, MeeW. Or.
