Signs of inherent strength in
the economy persist with order
backlogs climbing sharply as
business finds itself unable to
keep up with new orders,
according to Chase Manhattan's
International Finance. "Manu-
facturers’ unfilled orders to-
taled $101.8 billion in June—up
31.2 per cent from a year
earlier—and are rising by 3 to 4
per cent every month,” the
letter says. Automobiles still
are selling at record rates, it
adds.

How Can I
Q. How can I remove decals
without damaging the finish
underneath?
A. Cover the decal with a wet
washcloth, then press a hot iron
over the cloth. Within a few
minutes the steam will soften the
decal and permit its easy
removal. Or, cover the decal
with some warm vinegar, allow
a few minutes to soak in, then
rub off the decal.
Q. How can I remove grease
spots from woolens and silks?
A. Rub a little talcum powder
over the spot, allow to stand for a
day or so, then brush it off with a
stiff brush.

Agency” took the law into its
own hands. Faced with low
profits, it decided "to ignore
the...regulations," says a Hor-
ror File memo. “The chances
it will be audited are small, it
reasons, and its accounting
system and pricing policies
are such that any violation
would be difficult to unearth
even in an audit.”
"Sierra Motors," appar-
ently Chrysler or American
Motors, was “an automobile
manufacturer facing serious
losses. It had hoped for some
relief when the Big Two in-
creased their '73 prices. It
would be eligible for price in-
creases...but cannot now im-
prove its position because of
competition from the Big
Two..."
The toll of controls on
humanitarian business
programs was evidenced at
"Garner Computers." which
had trained 10 disadvantag-
ed apprentices for three
years. “When they graduated
from the training program,”
the memo notes, “the compa-
ny was able to give them no
more than a 5.5 percent wage
increase and the workers left
for new employment."
“Moe Microdynamics” was
an electronics firm pouring
money into research “in
order to meet emerging
Japanese capability." Be-
cause it could not raise
prices, research plans shud-
dered to a halt.
"Bareshelf’ canned goods
needed a price increase to
keep up its inventory bet-
ween harvests. But the in-
crease was illegal, and
“without these increases, it is
almost certain to run out of
inventory and lose shelf posi-
tion and, with it, customer
loyalty."
Pension Scuttled
At “Peter Rabbit Dairies,"
the company decided to give
workers a profit-sharing
pension plan instead of a
wage hike But because this
would mean an increase in
real wags of 20 perrenthhe
first year, "the company had
to drop the plan.”
The controls also led to in-
genious evasions.
"Tablebottoms and Son”
buys lumber products, but its
supplier could not provide
them at controlled prices. So
"Tablebottoms” gave the
supplier kickbacks by paying
higher transportation costs.
"Allchiefs Company" got
around the controls by
changing job titles but not
jobs. "Freedom Fashions"
changed its clothing line
slightly and jacked up prices.
And “Micromeasure Mills”
altered cuts of lumber
microscopically, claimed to
have a "new product" and
raised prices.
All in all, the system was
hampered by efforts of the
Council “bureaucracy to seek
to perpetuate itself," rules
that "impeded" and "in-
hibited” recovery and expan-
sion, and sloppy enforcement.
Footnote: Despite its
tongue-in-cheek company
“names," a Council official
assured our reporter Mark
Frazier that the Horror File
was a serious effort by Coun-
cil Executive Secretary Hank
Parritt to record some
dangers of controls. Based on
Phase II flaws, the memos
disguised the company names
so there would be no violation
of anti-disclosure statutes if
the summary was ever dis-
cussed outside the Council,
the spokesman said.
The Baiting Game — The
Navy plans to test a new type
of anti-submarime missile in
full view of the Russian
Mediterranean fleet.
Our Navy sources say one
purpose of the Navy test ap-
pears to be to challenge the
Russians and thus heat up the
arms race so the Navy can
legitimately get more money
for sophisticated weapons
systems. The new missile, to
be tested in a single de-
stroyer, will become part of
the "ASROC" system operat-
ing now on Sixth Fleel war-
ships.
A Navy spokesman says
generally such tests are held
where foreigners cannot see
them, but our Navy sources
insist the out-of-sight policy is
going to be deliberately vio-
lated in this case

Advice From
A Physician
By Lawrence E. Lamb, M.D.
Dear Dr. Lamb — I am
doctoring for an ailment and I
would like to know exactly
how serious it is and what
causes it. I am told I have
rheumatic heart leakage and
an enlarged heart. I went on a
diet and started counting my
calories. In a year's time I
lost 70 pounds That alone
made breathing easier as
most of my weight was
around my stomach and hips.
While in the hospital for a
gall bladder operation, I went
into heart failure on the table
and spent one week in inten-
sive care coming back Yes. I
was dead for three minutes,
so I was told My lungs filled
up with fluid and I couldn't
breathe.
The night before my opera-
tion an anesthetist came to
my room to fill out a form
and ask me if I ever had any
heart trouble, even though my
chart gave all the details I
had a spinal and sodium pen-
tothal for my operation
Should that have been given to
me with my heart defects’ Is
that what caused my heart
failure’
Dear Reader— When one
or more valves in the heart is
damaged from rheumatic
heart disease it will leak or
else the valve can become
scarred in such a way as to
obstruct circulation. The
valve defect often means that
the heart has to work harder
than it would under normal
circumstances The increased
work, and other changes in
the mechanics of the pumping
action, lead to the enlarged
heart How serious the prob-
lem is depends on how exten-
sive the damage to the valve
is.
It's true that one's ability to
breathe, and the amount of
activity they can do with al-
most any form of heart dis-
ease. is significantly improved
it they can eliminate any ex-
cess fat they have The reason
is very simple, it takes a lot
less work to move 120 pounds
across the room than It does
to move 200 pounds The more
work you have to do, the more
oxygen has to be delivered to
the body, and that means
more work for the heart. If
the heart Is already having
trouble because of disease,
the increased work associated
with 80 pounds more of body
weight just makes matters
worse
I can't emphasize too
strongly the Importance of
getting nd of excess fat, if the
person has any type of heart
problem
It is impossible to say just
why you developed heart fail-
ure in the operating room.
The heart failure, of course,
results in the accumulation of
fluids in the lungs This hap-
pens when blood backs up in
the lungs because the heart
ceases to pump effectively.
This may well mean that you
have a fairly severe amount
of heart damage it probably
does not mean that it has any
specific relationship to your
choice of anesthetic Some-
times it's not possible to tell
how well a person with heart
disease is going to do during
surgery I am constantly
amazed, though, at how well
individuals do during major
surgery, even when they have
relatively severe heart dis-
ease.
Many individuals with de-
fects of a heart valve can
benefit from heart surgery A
heart specialist should evalu-
ate individuals with these
problems to identify those
who can get real help as op-
posed to those who should not
undergo surgery Your prob-
lem deserves a complete eval-
uation with the thought in
mind that you might profit
from surgical correction of
the heart defect.

Despite the view the market
is courting its low of the year,
"the bulk of the market is not
nearly that weak,” says E. F.
Hutton. While the Dow Jones
averages are hovering above
their 1973 lows, "what seems to
be going somewhat unnoticed is
that the so-called institutional
favorites, the market leaders
thus far this decade, are now
faring considerably poorer than
many speculative, cyclical and
secondary issues," the firm
says. Only on four other
sessions this year has the
market been more oversold
technically than it is now, it
adds.

WASHINGTON - With the
end of most price controls,
the Administration is heap-
ing praise on itself for its few
paltry victories on behalf of
an inflation-weary public.
But the Cost of Living Coun-
cil's secret files are bulging
with tales of unpublished
failures.
Many of the folders are
stuffed with outraged (and
often unanswered) letters
from Americans who find
their food or footwear going
up astronomically. But in one
drawer is the “Horror File"
of cases where strict controls
backfired.
These are cases where let-
ter-of-the-law controls drove
small companies into near-
bankruptcy, killed competi-
tion that might have forced
down prices, or swept willing
workers out of their jobs.
The “Horror File," as it is
called among Council execu-
tives. has come into our
possession. The Council has
used code-names like
"Strongarm Detective Agen-
cy" or "Eagletonbutton Man-
ufacturing" to hide the
names of the 35 companies
involved, and spokesmen
refused flatly to identify the
companies to us by name.
"Eagletonbutton,” for ex-
ample. is "an unprofitable
manufacturer controlled by
‘Thousandpercent, Inc. "
whose overall profits were
near the federal ceiling.
Thus, under law, “Eagleton-
button” could not increase its
prices and get out of the red.

Escapees imperil
East-West pact
On the very day that Walter Ulbricht, the architect of the
Berlin Wall, was laid in his grave, a dozen or more of his
erstwhile East German subjects escaped from the country.
As many others plotted an escape in the future
Since an East-West agreement went into effect in June,
1972, under which East Germany agreed to permit free trav-
el on the four highways linking West Germany with Berlin,
110 miles inside East Germany, the flow of refugees to the
West has doubled It now averages about 500 a month
Out of 3.000 East Germans registered as refugees by the
Bonn government in the first six months of this year, 2,000
stated that they had taken the highway route, either hidden
in the trunks of automobiles registered in the West or by
using false passports
Though the refugee flow is a tiny trickle compared to what
it was before the Wall, Berlin is still a leaking human sieve,
and the situation is causing concern in both Germanies.
In the East, the reason is obvious In the West, the govern-
ment is being placed in the unhappy position of having to
crack down on those who assist East Germans in violation of
the Berlin pact, despite its natural sympathies for the for-
mer refugees It could close its eyes to the traffic, but only
at the risk of East Germany reinstating, as it has threatened
to do, the strict controls that existed before the agreement.
According to the East German Communist newspaper
"Neues Deutschland, East Germans are being smuggled
out of the country by "international gangster syndicates"
who charge enormous sums — $30,000 to $40,000 — for each
person
This is really a remarkable admission. Any East German
who would pay $40,000 to leave the country must really want
to leave Many are helped by friends and relatives in the
West, but many others seem able to afford to pay.
West German statistics show that, as in the past, a large
proportion of the refugees are professionals — doctors, den-
tists. etc — those earning the best livings in East Germany.
Many changes have taken place in East Germany since
Ulbricht s obscene monument was built 10 years ago Many
of them have been for the better The country is today one of
the economic showcases of the Communist world
But one fundamental thing is still lacking The Germans

NEW YORK (UPI) - "The
Federal Reserve appears at
last to be succeeding in its
attempt to slow the growth of
the money supply,” says First
National City Bank’s Economic
Week. The money supply
expanded only marginally in
the latest statement week, the
letter says, after a drop of
more than $1 billion in the
previous week. "Third-quarter
money growth now looks like it
could come in somewhere near
the Fed’s 6 per cent target
instead of repeating second
quarter's overshoot," it adds.

NEW YORK (UPI) - People
who move around the country
have been puzzled recently to
discover in a number of
communities that you first
must dial the number “1" to
place a long distance call.
It seems the telephone
companies are running out of
numbers in this population
explosion and greater depend-
ence on phones.
"In smaller communities, it
may mean that the equipment
is a little old fashioned and not
up to handling long distance
calls with the usual 10 digits,
including the area code," said a
New York Telephone Co.
spokesman. "This is true in
Southern Connecticut and some
other regions.”
In Los Angeles, the whole
city was put on the number 1
prefix system in July for direct
dialing of long distance calls. It
will happen in New York by the
end of this decade, probably in
1978. Chicago, Washington, Bos-
ton and other metropolitan
complexes probably are in for
the same change in the near
term.
Equipment Is Costly
“We don’t actually need the
number 1 prefix in New York
yet, but we have been
anticipating it for some months
and already have made half the
mechanical changeover neces-
sary to adapt the system," the
spokesman said.
In Los Angeles, Pacific
Telephone & Telegraph Co. said
it cost about $10 million for
mechanical equipment changes
and about $575,000 for an
advertising campaign to edu- .
cate the public to use the
number 1 prefix for direct
dailing of long distance calls.
The number 1 system is not
expected to solve permanently
the mathematical problem that
is causing the telephone compa-
nies to adopt it. Something
better will be devised in the
next 10 or 15 years.
The telephone companies
have no trouble in getting
sufficient number combinations
to keep up with their expanding
business out of the regular
seven digit individual line
numbers. A computer can toss
out enough of these to prevent
duplication in even the largest
cities.
Long Range Solution
The three-digit area codes
are something else. Three
digits don't provide enough
numerical combinations to
avoid duplication. But the
Number “1" used as "a prefix
to the prefix" makes it clear to
sophisticated dialing machinery
that a call is long distance not
local. That will give greater
Los Angeles up to 152 more
area code combinations, such
as New York’s 212 or Washing-
ton's 202.
The switching machinery's
detector will tell by the
Number 1 prefix that the Los
Angeles subscriber is trying to
dial New York instead of some
nearby community that has
been given the area code 212.
When New York, Boston,
Chicago and other cities adopt
the number 1 system, parts of
their areas will be able to use
area code numbers now con-
fined to other parts of the
country.
The long range solution? The
only ones in sight are a
complicated time delay system
or one which would divide all
big cities into two or more
artificial zones for telephone
purposes.

adopted for Chickasha by a
committee of the Chamber of
Commerce, according to an
announcement during the
Tuesday night meeting of the
board of directors. . . Rescue
workers conceded today they
are no closer to bringing out the
three miners trapped 331 feet
underground than they were
nine days ago when a cave en-
tombed them. . . The Oklahoma
State Cotton Exchange revised
its estimate of the state's 1963
cotton crop sharply downward
today, setting it at 314,140 bales.
. . The United States today
denounced in blunt terms what it
called serious repressive
measures by the Diem regime in
South Vietnam against Buddhist
leaders. . . Chickasha Chamber
of Commerce board of directors
met Tuesday night at the
Chamber office to hear com-
mittee reports, including an

Official sources announced
that police had transferred ex-
premier Mohammed Mossadegh

of the Tehran Officers Club to a
jail cell. The new Iranian regime
which ousted Premier
Mossadegh appeared to have
excellent prospects of obtaining
emergency financial aid from
the United States... After a total
of thousands of months behind
Communist barbed wire, 328
repatriated POW’s lined up at

and drew $728,679 in back pay...
Fred Stephenson was chairman

Company office were deluged by
non-essential calls and manager
Roy Holliday appealed to local
subscribers to use their phones
only when calls were really
necessary. . . One hundred and
fourteen seniors had enrolled at
Chickasha High School by noon,

Wright Investors’ Service of
Bridgeport, Conn, says the
September meeting in Nairobi

American dollar remaining the
principal currency of interna-
tional trade, on a new
international monetary instru-
ment convertible into gold, and
on penalties for countries which
accumulate excess reserves at
the expense of their trading
partners.
