Stamped on by some governments, tolerated or fully permitted by others, the CB mania which has swept the United States is creeping up on Europe. But European CBers tend to speak "in clear," apart from their nicknames.

Around Europe, CB at this power, giving a basic range of 10-15 miles, usually is legal only for business purposes -taxis, tow trucks, ambulances, a fleet of service vehicles, for example--with private use restricted to walkie-talkies with a mile or two range. Full-power CB is flourishing in West Germany, where a car radio manufacturer is reportedly planning to market Europe's first CB set, and 100,000 sets are estimated to be legally, or illegally, in use.

In Holland, officials say there are "a very large number" of illegal operators, and several pressure groups are trying to have the 27 megawatt band, the CB range, opened for free use without examinations or li- cences but the authorities gium, but sales of walkie-talk- ies are booming for children, and French CBers in border region constantly chat with fully equipped Belgian CBers.

The 102-page paperback books cost taxpayers about $1.16 each, a total of $6,303 for a printing run of 5,435 copies, officials said. All 535 members of Congress, including Rep. Bob Bergland, who will be Jimmy Carter's secretary of Agriculture, are getting a copy of "The American Farmer" this week.

"You are about to retrace with the American farmer one of the greatest success stories of all time." Quentin M. West, head of USDA's Economic Research Service, ote in the beginning of the book. Citing how colonists gained "a precarious foothold" in America, West describes how today's farms are a lot different from those a century or two ago and that "we hope the following pages will convey something of the drama" of American agriculture. "We hope further that as we examine our past in this Bicentennial year, this booklet will help put in perspective the farmer's contribution to our national heritage, and the role he plays in the economy of today," West said. Aspokesmansaid that West's agency will make single copies of the book available free of charge to anyone requesting it by writing the Publications Unit, Room 0054, Division of Information, Economic Research Service, USDA, Washington, D.C.
