Letters turned out by the computer to solicit votes played a small part in the 1968 Presidential election. This year, 100 million of these letters probably will be mailed on behalf of the Presidential, Congressional and gubernatorial candidates, says Stephen Balber of Datatab, Inc., a New York firm that claims to be the largest of a doxen or so in. the computerised letter business nationally. Although it is a natural evolution from the old automatic typewriter shop that composed letters from player piano type rolls, the computerized letter is a lot more sophisticated. The computer can print out letters much faster, thereby handing bigger mailing lists and an infinite selection of paragraphs can be stored in the computer, making it easier to tailor the letters to appeal to different voters or customers. One reason a big increase in vote soliciting by computerized letter is expected this year is that, for some unexplained reason, Congress exempted letters from the new legal limitations on. campaign ex- penditures. Candidates can spend only 6 cents per registered voter on television advertising and 4 cents on printed media. Although an expense limit on letters originally was included in the bill, it was knocked out of the final versions. Computerized letters aren't cheap. They cost from 5 to 6 cents each, plus postage, according to Chairman Gerald Yass of Datatab. But they appear to have high attention value and the ability to use the computer not only to address them individually, but to vary their composition according to the known interests of voter groups Justifies their cost, Yass said. Television appearances are well known to be a double edged sword some candidates come well on the TV screen, through others don't Yass and Balber say the letters cannot replace media advertising. They supplement it But for some candidates, the letter is the safest appeal. y details page 5.

It was further alleged: Defendants, acting In concert with said corrupted agents of HT Co, purported to locate unpatented mining claims on worthless federal lands and on lands not open to mining location. That defendants knew such claims were worthless. Cites Actions The suit then cites several specific acts which it claims occurred: Between April and June of '69 Hatsis acquired mining claims for $25,000 and 30,000 shares of Globe, which Hughes Tool then paid $850,-00- 0 to acquire. Between April and October of 1969, Leon Belaustegin and Sam Bida, identified in the suit as "straw men, were financed to buy claims from previous owners for $25,000. This $25,000 acquisition was then resold to Hughes Tool Co. for $1.9 million, of which Belaustegin and Bida received $165,000 while the defendants retained $1,710,000. dis- - ' A 6 Antipollution Drive Costs but See Gain Coming said this course will be held each Wednesday evening jat the University of Utah, College of Business, - efforts by Detroit to "which will meet to 125,000 Jobs during the next four years, a government report says.

Senate Action ill Keep U.S. In Coffee Pact - WASHINGTON (UPI) The Senate has approved and sent to the White House a bill insuring expansion of the International Coffee Agreement until Sept. 30, 1973. The action, taken by voice vote March 13, will assure active U.S. participation in the International Coffee Agreement (ICA). That participation had officially expired . last June 30. However, before acting on the coffee bill the Senate was assured by the State Department that the U.S. will oppose higher coffee prices in future sessions of the organization. The Senate finance committee, which handled the bill, also announced a thorough investigation of the worldwide coffee trade and its effects on U.S. consumers before the ICA comes up to renewal in the fall of 1973. This investigation, to be handled by the comptrollers office and the Tariff and Federal Trade Commissions, must be completed by June 30, 1973. The Nixon Administration had asked Congress in late 1970 to extend Washingtons ICA membership until September 30 of next year. Delay was sparked mainly by il alleged discrimination in the soluble coffee trade, and Brazils decision to enforce its fishing limits. U.S.-Braz- 200-mi- le |
