By TIM CURRAN Associated Press Writer OBERLIN, Ohio A book by the 16th century astronomer Copernicus was stolen from a Chicago library. In Los Angeles, a thief went after the work of a different kind of star-gazer: A draft of George Lucas' "Star Wars" vanished from a library at the University of California. Valuable books and documents have been disap pearing from American libraries at a faster and faster rate in recent years, some librarians say. And many appear ready to cast aside their mild mannered image to get tough on theft. "We're mobilizing and it's war," Katharine {yes Leab, editor of American Book Prices Current, said at a conference here on library theft. She estimated the value of stolen books and manuscripts "can easily get up to $5O million a year in this country alone." Mrs. Leab was one of about 40 people at the two day conference at Oberlin College, where book thief James R. Shinn was arrested in a celebrated case two years ago. Shinn, now serving two consecutive 10-year terms in federal prison for transporting $lOO,OOO worth of stolen rare books across state lines, was caught after William Moffett, Oberlin's director of UNIVERSITY CALENDAR • Wednesday, September 21 Graduate Council meeting, 3 p.m., Room 101 Kern.
