Experts Say Packed Goods Contribute To Living Costs
NEW YORK (VP1 Housewives
for a long time have been de
manding packaged goods, and
that, say the experts, is one of
the reasons for the rise in the
cn-t of living index.

Never Sans Tea
In Any Situation
HORNCHl'RCII. England (UPD
Mrs. Mabel Vaughan was hav
ing tea under the apple tree in
her garden when all the trouble
started.
Ronald Rlack. !!). and a friend,
Mary Holmes, 27, were flying
about the countryside in an
American-built, single - engined
eronea monoplane when the en
gine began sputtering.
Black zigged and (sagged over
the local golf course, sending
golfers running for cover. Watch
ers sucked in their breath as the
plane hit a 60-foot elm tree, spun
twice and plopped' right into Mrs.
Vaughan s apple tree.
Black and Miss Holmes clam
bered out, uninjured except for a
slight cut on Black's forehead.
Mrs. Vaughan sprang to her
feet and quickly sized up the sit
uation. "Would you like a cup of tea?"
she asked.
"Yes, please," they said.
They had their tea, left the
plane ip the garden and went
home by cab.
Companies doing that packaging
find there is no way to go back
to the days before packaging. So
they are trying to lighten the cost
factor in their packages.
The Better Packaging Advisory
Council has just conducted a 90-
day study on that subject.
The survey found that to meet
the demands of the current buy
ers market, firms are selecting
packaging that helps to sell their
products, reduce shipping costs.
and breakage, and helps bring
prices into line so that they can
pass savings on to ths ultimate
customers.
The survey made on a nation
wide basis to 800 manufacturers
disclosed that today s trend in
packaging is toward the increas
ing use of fibre cans and tubes
in place of p;1pcr cartons and
wooden boxes, metal cans, cor
rugated packages, glass and oth
er forms of packaging.
The advisory council, a nan-
profit organization devoted to im
proving packaging through mar
ket and laboratory research, re
ported that 30 per cent of the
manufacturers said that at some
time in the last five years they
had changed over from other
types of packaging to the more
economical kind.

Fifty two per cent of the manu
facturers said their main aim was
to cut costs so that the saving
could be passed on to the custo
mer. Other reasons for switching
were better products, protection,
convenience, better appearance.
durability, facility of labeling and
sealing, better display possibili
ties, ereater consumer acceptance,
possibility of mechanical tilling
and temperproof packaging.
Those manufacturers using fibre
cans and tubes reported a sales
rise averaging 32 per cent. Ninety
ner cent of the companies report
ing said their sales gains ranged
upward to 100 per cent. The re
mainder reported gains of 400 to,
500 per cent.
The survey disclosed that the
increasingly popular fibre pack
aging greatly reduced shipping
costs. A total of 68.1 per cent of
the companies reported that be
tween 1 and 10 per cent savings
in shipping costs were effected.
A total of 30.6 per cent reported
their savings totaled between 11
and 25 per cent, and 1.3 per cent
reported savings of 26 per cent
to 50 per cent.
The survey covered industry
groups such as drug, food, auto
motive, hardware, chemical, elec
trical, toy, construction, aviation
and housewares.
Savings in freight from the new
packaging method are made by
the fact that there is less break
age in the new method. The trend
toward packaging has been going
on for a long time to meet the
demands of consumers.
This is the first real attempt
to shave costs so that some of the
saving could be passed on to the
consumers. ' i
The objective of cost cutting for
consumers proves again that the
consumer is king, Bay the mar

'Miracle Collision' Eyed
By Prize-Winning Scientist
By DELOS SMITH
L'PI Science Editor
NEW YORK (UPD Dr. Har
old C. Urey, a Nobel Prize win
ner and one of America's most
distinguished scientists, believes
in one "miracle." That is that
"now and then" the head of a
comet collides with the earth and
causes an explosion that can be
compared only to the blast of
"some million or more atomic
bombs.
This would be a "miracle" (as
well as a staggering disaster) be
cause science can show such a
collision is, if not altogether im
possible, "highly improbable."
But Urey acknowledged his belief
in it while arguing with a scien
tific colleague whom he accused
of believing in a much greater
"miracle."
Urey implied that Dr. T. P.
Kohman evidently believes earth
like rocks can somehow accumu
" late in the vast reaches of "the
great cold vacuum" of outer
Epace and there encounter the ex
tremely hiah temperatures of
some 2,700 degrees (F) needed to
melt them. Urey was being, sar-
, castic, of course, but for a pur
pose.
He was endeavoring to destroy
Kohman's theory that tektites are
not of this earth although they
are found in some parts of it but
are a very special kind of mete
orites or cosmic debris which ac
quired their highly individualistic
properties in the space that sep
arates tne stars.
1 Killed, 5 Hurt
In Headon Crash
MIAMI (UPD One man was
killed and five others injured
Sunday when two propeller-driven
swamp boats collided head-on in
the F.verelades.
The dead man was identified as
Joseph Melvin Malzoh, 31, of Mi
Ami. The iniurcd all of Miami
were Charlie Roberts, 33, Rich
ard Thaysen, 31, George McFar
land. Max L. Goode, 43, and
Thomas S. Nunn, whose hand
was amputated py a propeuer.
The origin of tektites has been
the subject of a scientific argu
ment for generations. Tektites
are glassy globs shaped like but
tons or pears, indicating they had
been in flight while in a molten
state. They're entirely unique
among the earth's large variety
of stones and they're found only
in widely scattered belts in
Texas. North Africa, Australia
and Czechoslovakia.
Urcy's attack upon the Kohman
theory was in support of his own
theory that tektites originated on
the earth. His theory has all the
logic on its side, he said, since
it accounts tor all the peculiarities.
Their chemical composition is
"remarkably similar" to the
more acid of earth's sedimentary
rocks, which suggests they once
were sedimentary rocks. To
make a sedimentary rock into a
tektite you would need a melting
temperature of 2,732 degrees (F)
and no such high temperatures
occurs naturally on the earth's
surface.
But if a comet s head collided
with the earth such a high tem
perature would be commonplace
around the point of impact. And
globs of sedimentary rock in the
molten slate would be put into
flight in a direct line away from
this point of impact.
In this way his theory accounts
for the obvious fact that tektites
once were in a molten state, for
their distribution in belt-like pat
terns, and for their chemical sim
ilarity to the earth s rocks. Koh
man had buttressed his theory by
reporting the detection,' in trace
amounts, of minerals not found
on earth. This Urey dismissed by
challenging the accuracy of the
detection techniques.
The argument is taking place
in the international technical
journal. "Nature," where Koh
man will answer Urey in due
course. Both are nuclear chem
ists. Urey provided much of the
chemical spadework for the
atomic bomb. He is a University
of Chicago professor currently
wnrkme and teaching in tngiana,
Kohman is a professor at the
Carnegie Institute of Technology
