The underworld, which knows something about frame-up- s, is educating itself in art. One expert has estimated the value of art stolen in 1971 in the U.S. alone at $15 million. This underworld itching for etchings has made some radical changes.

Fairs are important to. the particular economy of Western Europe, stemming from medieval times. They hare not lost their relevance in the modern, industrial era. One of the first activities to be gotten into operation again in Germany after the complete collapse of 1945 were two of Europe's major fairs the Hanover Fair in the Allied Zone German Federal (now the Republic), and the Leipzig Fair in the Russian Zone (now the German Democratic Republic). This years Hanover Fair, according to Common Ground, is expected to attract more than 500,000 visitors from all over the world and will feature large exhibits of industrial machinery, electronics, Fair, April 25-M- ay 4, computers, chemicals, plastics, metals, tools, building materials and optics. Also included will be consumer goods, such as china and pottery, glassware, metalware, gift articles, jewelry, silverware, watch-e- s and clocks, tableware and cutlery. Spokesmen for the event report that in 1974 the consumer goods exhibition will be shifted to March, to more closely match the buying season for these articles. Buyers of consumer goods have complained that a nine-da- y fair is too long for their needs and that April is too late in die year for Christinas orders. Electrical engineering and electronics are out in front again this year in terms of exhibitor number and space. The two industries will occupy 1 million square feet in 1973, with i;600 firms participating. Mechanical engineering will also account for a huge chunk of space: ' 2,200,000 square feet. |
