Rhodesia is aiming its can

neighboring Mozambique,

Turfew on outlying black

Those forces are supply and

is 135 miles inland.

talks with South African
leaders aimed at defusing the
threatening racial crisis with
such measures as persuading

to give up their supremacy
over six million blacks.
Smith will visit South
African Prime Minister John
Vorster in Pretoria today and
return to Umtali with in
formation of interest to his

But Smith again rejected

Milk Marketing Board.
These higher costs caused
the federal government to
increase the minimum price
to farmers by three cents a
quart in September, 1975,
Fink said. The Milk
Marketing Board responded
by increasing retail
minimums by the same
amount.
Why did some prices
decrease? Because of com
petition.
"In some areas of the state
retail prices were above the
minimum," Fink said.
That provides leeway for a
store to lower prices to at
tract customers. If there's a
good competitive situation,
other stores will drop prices
too.
= There's no such room for
maneuvering when reatil
stores sell at the minimum
price established by law.
Supply and demand mean
less in determining milk
prices than they do in
establishing meat and other
dairy prices, Fink said.

first survey in July, 1973, 83
per cent of the items were

conducted last Thursday.
Nine per cent were cheaper, 4

survey stores in the specified

Each product is counted as
a separate item in each city.
For instance, butter in

Milk, coffee, butter, peanut
butter, chocolate chip cookies
and sugar were more ex

Swedish criminal regarded as folk hero
STOCKHOLM, Sweden
(AP) A deep yearning for a
little disorder in affluent and
law-abiding Sweden has
turned a bank robber into a
kind of folk hero a rough
Nordic mix of Jesse James
and Warren Beatty.
Clark Olofsson has his face
on T-shirts. A Danish film
producer says he's going to
make a movie called "The
Ballad of Clark Olofsson" and
50 amateurs beg to try out for
the main role. Olofsson
escapes from prison using a
Swedish-made truck to batter
down a gate and a truck
dealer advertises the
breakout as the ultimate on
the-job consumer test.
A worthy citizen com
plained to the ombudsman
about the unscrupulousness of
the ad copy, and last week the
German scientists investigate
use of solar energy for heat
WIEHL, West Germany (UPI) About
half of all the primary energy coal, oil, gas
and electricity in modern industrial
societies is used to heat rooms and water, the
experts tell us. _
A joint German-American project im
probably located in this small health resort
about 25 miles northeast of Bonn is designed,
to demonstrate:
1 How to heat buildings and water by
collecting solar energy instead of burning
fossil fuels, and
2 How to reduce the amount of original
heat required by cutting heat loss and
recapturing and recycling heat otherwise
wasted.
The five-year project, inaugurated by
science minister Hans Matthoefer Aug. 23,
sounds prosaic enough.
It involves the operation of an outdoor
swimming pool and an indoor ice rink.
In late spring, all summer and early
autumn, the outdoor swimming pool water)
will be warmed by heat collected on the roof
of the ice rink.
In winter, the dressing rooms, the showers,
the restaurant and the janitor's home will be
heated and all of the water used in them
warmed by heat drawn from water to form
ice in the skating rink.
The scheme is unusual -for one thing
because the general public is testing it. The
swimming pool and ice rink are already open
to the public.

WJOHN . WAYNE "THE
lAUREN BACALL SHOOTIST"
A Paeomourit Pktum I--
Soviet Communist party
youth newspaper, Kom
somolskaya Pravda, scolded
Sweden for turning a thief
into a "superman with
romantic accents."
But very few people in
Sweden seemed to mind
much, or to be very angry at
Olofsson, whom the
newspapers refer to as Clark,
the kind of first-name-only
veneration usually reserved
for a Bing or a Bjorn or an
Elvis.
While Olofson was assigned
a young woman social worker
in jail, she fell in love with
him and wrote newspaper
articles saying all the holdups
were society's fault, not his.
When he got involved in a six
day siege in a Stockholm bank
in 1973, one of the young
women taken hostage swore
For another thing, dozens of small firms
/ are involved in it, and some are already
developing new products and markets as a
result. A prime example is the firm that has
developed a plastic cover that is floated out
over the swimming pool every night to
prevent heat loss by evaporation.
Gerald Leighton, assistant director of
America's Energy Resources and
Development Administration, says
Washington put money into the project
"because the Germans are doing things we
should be doing and so we want to take part."
The projects include testing a variety of
• collectors of sunlight on the surface of the ice
rink, various ways of preventing escape of
heat through windows in buildings and from
the surface of the swimming pool water,
methods for recapturing the heat from waste
water from swimming pools and shower
baths, and optimal means - and depths for
capturing heat from the earth during sunless
winter months.

by his chivalry and went to
visit him in prison afterward.
He has the stuff of myth:
breaking out of prison five
times, getting caught by the
police arm wrestling in a cafe
with $70,000 in his pocket,
being called remarkably
gifted by prison teachers and
psychologists.
As the story goes Olofsson's
career in crime began
poetically, breaking into the
home of former Prime
Minister Tage Erlander and
stealing only flowers. As a
teen-ager, he was in and out
of reformatories for petty
thefts and ran away six times.
After a holdup in which a
policeman was killed, he be
came the object of the
biggest manhunt in the
country's history. But when
he was caught he was able to
Scientists working on the project say that
already they have reduced the amount of
heat required, compared to a conventional
establishment, by two-thirds. Costs are still
double those of a conventional system, but
they are convinced that at the -end of five
years of experimentation, they will have
brought costs down to a competitive level
while proving that their heat-conserving
and solar-collecting system is friendlier to
the environment.

prove that he never fired a
shot and an element of the
myth was in place: Clark
never hurts a soul.
Sentenced to 11 years in jail
he escaped three years later.
When he was brought back to
prison, he became a writer
for the prison newspaper and
met the social worker who
was to make him appear
through her articles as a
victim of society.. '
While still a prisoner, he
became a national television
personality, participating in
panel discussions on what
was then the country's most
sensitive domestic issue,
prison reform.
At the point,in the legend
where Clark's rehabilitation
seemed complete and he was
about to go to college, he
returned from a dance five
minutes past curfew and was
told his university plans
would be blocked.
He rebelled, broke out
of prison again, and got six
more years after a new
holdup.
After the six-day siege of
the Stockholm bank in 1973,
the Olofsson myth grew
further with stories of his
kindness, good humor and
composure during the siege.

Minister Olof Palme asking
for his intervention and more
time in jail. The latest
Olofsson exploit was the truck
breakout in August. Now he's
in prison again until 1984.
There has been some of
ficial irritation about the
attention paid Olofsson.
Criminologist Knut , Sveri
said, "Clark is a crimnal and
it's wrong to make him look
good and make him a hero for
our youth.
But Carlsson, the
Justice Ministry spokesman
looked at the situation in a
particularly Swedish way. He
said Olofsson's glorification
was harmful, mostly because
it reflected poorly on what the
government feels is a
rational, humane prison
system.
"All this attention paid
Olofsson," he said, "creates a
loss in perspective. We think
our prison system there
,aren't many places where
prisoners go on television or
take summer leave works
well. Olofsson makes it look
like it doesn't."
"The big problem with
Olofsson," said Carlsson, "is
that he'll be trying to get out
again, I'm sure, You can
understand it, I suppose.
Eight years is a long time.
When you have a sense of
your public image the way he
does, I guess it puts extra
burdens on you."
