Book Industry Sees
Sales Gain in Year

NEW YORK, Jan. 6 (AP) -
The book industry will publish
10000 titles and have gross
sales of $l.6 billion in 1862,
with 35 per cent of volume
coming from non-book outlets.
This is the prediction of
Evening star., 1962-01-07

1862 sales to be 10 to as much
as 40 per cent higher than in
1861, reported William F.. Drake
club president.
To realize these optimistic
forecasts, management will
need to strengthen present
sales forces with more profess
sional training, and attract ad-
ditional young people into the
profession rather than try to
rob competitors, said Mr.. Drake.

The Washington convention

wise and publish its Welcome
to Washington map and bro
chure in seven languages and
also will campaign for a new
and adequate convention hall
for the city, it was announced
by Edward R. Carr. chairman
of the bureau and prominent
developer and realtor.
THE idea of a full fledged
convention hall here is not a
new one" Mr.. Carr declared
Nov the need for such a phys
ical plant has become increaS-
ingly apparent.
New ideas to promote the city
as a tourist center are being
developed by the special events
department. which has been
active in the Cherry Blossom
Festival, the Christmas Pag-
cant of Peace and the Summer
Jubilee, Mr.. Carr said.
The bureau starts 1862 with
a operating budget of $780,
900, largest in its history. This
includes $4,000, first appropri-
alton from the District Govern
ment.

Downtown Park & Shop ex-
poets sales of parking stamps

another 8 to 10 per cent in

Except for small lags in jan

month showed a very comfor-
table gain from a year earlier
and the gain in March ran as
high as 32.1 per cent, Mr.

Almost $50 Washington firms

the year.
Complaints Decrease
The Better Business Bureau
has noticed a letup in COM
plants about home improve
ment companies and new and
used car dealers, reported Le-
land S. Mccarthy, managing
director.
Even though the home i'm
provement law did not go into
effect until January /, the
threat of its requirements al
ready has caused home i'm
provement complaints to de-
cline considerably in the last
80 days." he said.
I'VE have been operating un-
der the new and used motor We

he declared.
The bureau now is on the
threshold of what may become
a rather active source of COM

20 HOURS IN WATER
Ordeal at Sea Recounted

PoMPANo BEACH, Fla,
Aug. ~ (AP).-"For Gods
sake. George, please try to
make land. I can't swim at aIl!'
Those were the agonized
words Of Max Butcher, 25 and
father Of six, when a 21-foot
boat sank under him and two
companions in the Atlantic
Ocean, 10 miles offshore.
Mr.. Butchers companions
George Hardy, 80, and Peter
Thorn, 81, finally managed to
make shore on their own-Mr.
Hardy afer 1914 hours, Mr..
Thorn after IA hours. The Coast
Guard plucked Mr.. Butcher
from the sea around noon yes
terday, about 20 hours after his
ordeal began. All three are
automobile statesmen in Pom
pano Beach.
Il Was Numb"
His voice weak and his
throat raw from sea water and
constant calls for help, Mr..
Butcher told this story of fear,
hope, despair and rescue:
II was numb. All I could
think about were the sharks
somewhere out there and 1
knew I'd never see my wife
or kids again.
Both George and Pete were
wonderful. They kept reasSur-
ing me they would stay with me
and began laShing life jackets
and seat cushions around my
shoulders and waist
After about 10 minutes, Pete
said he would try to make
shore and alert air-sea rescue
teams.
Thought Friend Drowned
He soon was hidden by the
towering seas, followed closely
by our countless prayers. George
had laShed us together so we
wouldn't drift apart, but the
coarse line wrapped around my
leg caused me to fear the irri-
tation would draw blood and
hungry sharks, SO I asked him
to cut the line.
But as he did the swift cur
rent drew him away and I froze

with fear. I suddenly realized
he had the only knife.
II was defenseless. He hol-
Tered back to be brave and to
stay afloat until rescuers
reached the scene. Then he was
gone and I prayed for him be-
cause I believed he had
drowned.
Time passed - maybe two
hours - and then as if in a
dream someone cried Butch.
That's what Pete always called
me and sure enough there he
came swimming over a wave
right up to me.
THE current was too much
to make land, he told me, so
he decided to head back and
give me a hand.
Il guess it was about 8 am.
when a large vessel passed
within so yards and we literally
leaped for joy out of the heavy
seas. calling repeatedly Help
us; in Gods name, please save

But their cries were not

we spotted shore lights. No

CHICAGO. June 22 (AP).-Heavy
selling poured into the Grain futures
market today and nearly all contracts
were sharply lower on the Board Of
Trade. The single exception was May
wheat which held firm to strong.
Brokers said the pressure was ex-
pected in view Of the House defeat
last night of President Kennedy's farm
program which would have imposed
more rigid production controls on
major commodities.
All grains were off a cent or more
at the extreme with corn losing as
much as two cents and rye three
cents.

duction controls for the current SEES

These are fine homes, we'll

Housing economists esti-
mate that in view of the rise
in family incomes there are
more than "a million families
who could qualify under the
Federal Housing Administra-
ton to pay at least $4,000
for a new home.
More than IL million fam
lilies could qualify to pay at
least $4,000, according to
the economists.
We are in q time Of
steadily mounting prices.
Rents and living costs are
more likely to go up than
down. But the mortgage on
the home you buy now can
not be increased. This means
that you can plan in
telligently for your family's
needs for years ahead in
stead Of on a month-to-
month basis.
I firmly believe that more
individuals got their start on
the road to financial inde-
pendence through owning
their own home than in any
other way.
