Telephoto) Automation Expected To Bring Lower Costs on Reading Matter By HENRY J. BECHTOLD UPI Financial Editor New York - (UPI) - Book worms can look forward to lower prices for their reading matter in the near future. This is ex pected to be the end result of automation which finally has crept into the book pub lishing busi ness - one of Henry Becntold the nation's oldest industries. Not only are these new developments in book pub lishing expected to cut costs, but they also promise to sharp ly increase efficiency in this unusually conservative indus try. S. Roskin, president of Pro cess Lithographers Inc., said his firm now can send a book in manuscript form through a completely integrated oper ation, with a bound, fully cut book emerging in seconds. He told United Press Inter national is comparable to starting with a few nuts and bolts on one end and finish ing with a completed auto mobile. Surprisingly, the book pub lishers the general public is most familiar with, such as Random House, Doubleday and MacMillan, do not actual ly produce their books. Work Force Reduced They select the manuscripts and send them to companies such as Process Lithographers for the actual physical pro duction of the book. And these printers previously farmed out much of the time consuming and costly production work such as art layout, typesetting and lithography. But now with this one step operation pioneered by Pro cess, the "old time"' methods should quickly disappear, Ros kin said. Where 400 to 500 people used to be involved in the publication of a book, automation has dropped this working force to from 50 to 100. The effect on the $1.3 bil lion book publishing industry should be immense. It now will be possible for greater amounts of books to be pub lished at more competitive prices. And both domestic sales and foreign efforts in the publishing field will be profoundly . affected, Roskin declared. He contends that the con stant desire for new and spec ialized books in the expanding educational systems of the United States will be more easily met at lower costs with these new production line techniques. Reference and text books now absorb approximately 60 per cent of the overall book market, and the Process execu tive "predicted they will take nearly three fourths of the publishing field by 1956. The savings of these types of books alone, he said, will run into hundreds of millions of dollars. Roskin also said that the U.S. book policy overseas could probably use a power ful stimulant in the form of fast, inexpensively printed works. Most of the opinion molders i n underdeveloped and neutralist nations are in fluenced heavily by the print ed page, he added, and Ameri can books on history, eco nomics, political science, etc., "would be an invaluable ad junct to other propaganda activities." Roskin looks for nearly all books to be made with this automated production line technique within a few years. "Book publishers cannot at ford to have their manuscripts turned into hard cover works any other way." Process Lithographers ex pects to start reaping in some earnings benefits from its automated system this year, with 1962 a real turning point. 6 Oregon Airports To Receive Lights Portland (UPD-Six more Ore gon airports will receive air port lighting systems as a re sult of action of the State Board of Aeronautics. Gene Waddle, board chair man, said the airports were at Vale, Bend, Chiloquin, New berg, Lebanon and Spring field. He said each system will be complete and will include run way and threshold lights, wir ing, airport beacon lights, and a photoelectric cell for auto matically turning the system on and off. The board previously pro vided similar systems at Her- miston, Condon, Aurora and Bandon. Hatfield Announces Safety Conference Salem-IUPll-Gov.

She was not expected to i be, for she was a sea turtle, captured somewhere off the Cayman Islands. It had been a long and very painful trip on the turtle-boat. for she was in an uncomfort able position flat on her back with her flippers secure ly tied together. Ordinarily her destination would have been a soup kettle or on a menu as green turtle steaks, but she was lucky. She was sold alive, to live in captivity, to entertain people who had never before seen such a cre ature. Somewhere en route be tween her warm, native waters and her final tank, her right eye had become injured. Later in the large tank in which she was destined to live the rest of her life, a fungus infection established itself in the in jury. Medication of a sort was decided on after several days and the infection had spread into a large area near the eye. Sling Improvised To facilitate treatment the services of a car-wrecker truck was necessary. A can vas sling was improvised, worked under the heavy body of the patient, and then lifted out of the tank. Ointments somewhat impervious to wa ter action were tried. Miracle drugs later yielded some en couragement. Treatments were somewhat of a trial, in asmuch as each time the lift ing truck had to be called. It took much longer to get the truck into position, do the lift ing, and again release the sling than did the actual treat ment of the eye. One afternoon the attend ant was leaning on the tank edge wondering if it was nec essary to call the service truck when the big turtle swam up to the surface, heaved her deep-seated sigh, and edged her huge head within a few inches of the man's hand where it rested on the rim of the tank. Almost disbelieving his eyes, the man put his hand into the water. The turtle placed her head on the mo tionless fingers. Ridiculous Happened Excitedly the man ran to his office, grabbed the neces sary medicines, and hurried back to the tank. Once again the ridiculous happened. The turtle came up, offered her head for treatment. Records of previous treatments were hurriedly consulted. It was discovered that the turtle had been lifted out of the tank and doctored seven times, and each time it had been force fully lifted from the water on the canvas sling. Now, for the eighth treatment, the huge reptile had figured out the procedure and offered itself. Patiently it waited, its head slightly to one side, while the medication was administered, then submerged and once more began the slow paddling around and around her en closure. .
