THE HOST organization is
the Printing Industry of
Washington, which is the
capitals largest manufac-
turing industry. 1t has q
gross annual business of
$3.50 million.
Printing is one of the 20
largest industries in the Ma
tion with 100000 employees
and an annual gross of $4.3
billion. Much of this comes
from printing advertising. It
is advertising that has be-
come one Of our giant indus
tries with a gross of $67 bill
lion.
So much for the economy
of printing.
The invention of movable
type in Europe was inde-
pendent Of Chinese prece-
dents. Johann Gutenberg of
the HeSSian city Of Mainz
on the Rhine below Frank
furt had never heard of
Wang Chieh or Pi Chieng.
Forty years before the dis
covery Of America he was
printing letters Of indul-
gence and in 1855 he and his
assistants turned out the
first printed book, a Latin
Bible.
The pages were illumi-
mated by hand with huge
decorative initials, and bor-
der designs of human f1g-
ures, birds, flowers and fruit
in gold and color, to give the
effect of a hand copied
manuscript.
Gutenberg and his print
ers did not wish their inven-
ton to be discovered.
But discovered it was. It
was not long before printers
from Mainz were carrying
the new method to Holland,
France and Italy. In Venice
the seed fell on fertile soil
and fiowered. The human
istic scholars of Venice
called the heavy black let
ter used by the Germans
gothic" That was their
term for barbarous.
Gothic is still the name Of
the heavy black type used
for posters and advertising
captions of the hard SELF
school.

The

Greets the
r.. Typothetoe
By GEORGE KENNEDY

BY GEORGE KENNEDY
In 1900, a book printed
from wooden blocks was dis
covered in the Kansu Prov
ince of China. It read:
Printed on May II, 1858 by
Wang Chieh to perpet-
uate the memory of his par
entS."
The Encyclopaedia Britain
MICA continues:
Printing from movable
type was first done by Pi
Chieng in China in the years
1041 to 1049. Both events are
well authenticated. Because
Of the large number of char
acters in what in Chinese
corresponds to the alphabet,
the new method was not
generally adopted"
This historical note is by
way Of greeting the 1000
delegates to the annual con-
vention of the Printing In
dustry Of America which
opened today at the Shera-
ton-Park.
There they are to be well
coined by Raymond Blatten-
berger, the Public Printer.
He is head of the GPO,
which until recent years,
was the largest printing
plant in America.
Printers incline to high
brow names. They used to
call themselves the typothe-
tae, a Latino synthesis
meaning type settlers.

Byrd Leads Trot to Top of Old Rag

Pollock was a friend Of the
Senator's father and Of the
Senator in his earlier years.
Pollock was a most remark
able fellow" Senator Byrd
reminiSced. HE was the only
man I ever knew who could
walk up to a rattlesnake and
pick it up without being bitten.
One day he said to me, Harry,
come in here, I want to show
you something
HE had a whole bathtub full
of rattleSnakes-the damnedeSt
sight ! ever saw. They were
creeping and crawlig all over
mad and shaking their tails. He
sold snakes to make anti-venom
serum.
There was only one time he
was afraid Of rattlers. He took
q whole suitcase full Of them
up to Philadelphia on the train.
They got loose in his hotel
room and he was afraid to go
in and get them. They were
climbing all over the place, the
window sills and all that. He
was afraid they wouldn't know
him in their strange surround
Iings."
Points Out Ickes Cabin
The mountain-c climbing party
left in two cars for a drive to
the slopes Of Old Rag.
Going through the woods
Senator Byrd pointed to thi:
spot and that where a noun
taineer's cabin had once stood
One place, the former cabin
of Franklin RooSevelt's Secre-
tary of the Interior, Harold l.

disrepair.
HE had it built, but didn't
like it and he only came ur
here once or twice." Senator
Byrd said. when the Govern.
ment started condemning this
land and moving the mountain
people out. I pleaded with him
to let the old people live out
their lives in their homes. But
he was a mean old man. He
turned me down.
'"The Government resettlec
those people in nice home!
down there in Ida Valley. They
used to store coal in their bath
tubs. They only stayed there
about a month and moved
away. If there's one thing
mountaineers don't like it's
neighbors."
Farther up the trail we
crossed the intersection Of foul
or five woods paths.

and these directions I'm hop
ing to see a bloom some day
soon.
Use vermiculate soil to
start your plants, II you
would like to mix your own
soil, you can use a bushel Of
wood soil mixed with one pint
of bone meal and a little
phosphorus chemical.
Start with a leaf cut from
the center of an older plant
80 as not TO harm the looks
Of tho parent plant. Put stem
in water until white hairy
roots start, then plant in soil.
II you use a small piece of
silk stocking in the bottom Of
the pot, and let it protrude
from the drain opening, this
will let just enough water
feed your plant, without
drowning it.
When you go to water
ing the plants, always water
from the bottom of the pot.
Hence. you must use a
draining tray beneath the
pots with some loose rocks
in the bottom Of the tray.
This will lift the pots up
enough 50 the water can
seep into the bottom Of the
pots. Plant food may be used
but be careful to follow the
directions on the box.
African violets require as
even a temperature as pos
sible. A range from so to 80
degrees is best. More cool
than heat is best.
Cross pollination is in
teresting if you would like
to develop your own colors
of violets. For this you use
the center pollen of the vio-
let and crush until peppery
and lightly dot on plant you
want to cross it with. Record
the date on the plant. In
fact it's a good idea to al
ways mark the date and
name of the violet when
roofing. Then you will not
have to guess what the color
and name is. When cross
pollinating, you may name
your own new plant what
you choose.
In grooming your plants,
remove bad stems and flow
ers even with the main stem.
Brush dust off leaves with
a fine soft brush and wash
with luke warm water. Use
a very light touch. Never
break more than three or
four leaves at a time in
grooming, as more will ruin
the shape of the plant. Re-
move only the light shade

West that the Soviet Union is

those who argue that the West
is entitled to keep occupation
troops in West Berlin, Mr..
Khrushchev said:
II must warn such hotheads
that if force is applied it will
be met with force from the
other side"
This statement won sharp
applause from the audience.
1t was Mr.. Khrushchev's
first major speech since he re-
turned April 3 from his trip to
France.
He said the Soviet Union is
going to the summit talks in
Paris with the utmost SINGER
ity to ease tension.
The Soviet Premier said that
he foresees good results from
the meeting of the heads of
government. declaring, Every
body wants peace except ad-
ventui ists and revengiSts."
Mr.. Khrushchev said he re-
gretted Secretary of State
Christian A. Herter's April 4
speech, which he declared was
not realistic on the German
question.
Herter Cites Violations
In that speech, before the
National Association of Broad
casters in Chicago. Mr.. Herter
said the West will seek at the
summit meeting to explore all
avenues toward reducing the
risk of war while making clear
its determination to defend eS-
sential rights. He warned that
I'VE can hardly move forward
confidently in negotiating new
arms control agreements, how
ever, If our existing agreements
with them about Berlin are
meanwhile being violated or
threatened with violations"
Mr.. Khrushchev said the
question of reunification is
something for the two Ger
manys to decide and even if
the Soviet Union had been
given the right to deal with
that question it would stand
aside on the ground that this
is an internal affair.
He praised the Communist
East German regime for what
he said were its sacrifices in
attempting to solve the Ger
man problem.
Mr.. KhruShchev declared the
spirit of the cold war filled a
recent speech of United States
Undersecretary of State Doug
