tHE WeHtiarihy, Jnty ft, (UP!) The demand (or computer programmers Is accelerating so fast there presently Is a shortage of about 50,000 programmers and half a million may be needed In the next five years. Naturally, this has created a boom in programmer training courses by established business schools and new school organized epecially to teach computer oriented kills. Such schools have sprung up all over the Need Increases For Computer Programmers country. flave proved tremely profitable, and the founders sold the schools after a few years at a big profit. Several successful franchising ventures in computer schools have been established.

Now the correspondence course in computer programming has rushed into the vacuum. LaSalle Extension University of Chicago, one of the oldest and largest correspondence schools, now owned by Crowell CoHfer MacMittan, launched a mail order course in programming a year ago. "The course has been cessful and demand for it has increased steadily," a LaSalle spokesman said. 9 9 9 An ambitious new venture In teaching computer programming by mail has been launched by Lee Ratner of Miami Beach, a veteran mar- keter of real estate and sumer products. Ratner's venture, Computer College of Technology, is setting a 50-step correspondence course so simplified, ft is claimed a high school dropout has no difficulty mastering the material, Teaching computer programming by mail does present one problem, said the director of one school that does it by classroom instruction, "Unlike lettering, drafting or similar subjects, programming depends on sequential tlons," he said, "The student needs to be steered correctly instantly if he gets the trail.

In a correspondence course there's no teacher to set him right. The student must find his own error and get back on flie trail, and this may be time consuming." Joseph V. Sanson, the accountant who designed Ratner's course, says the scHool wM jsi long distance telephone; confer, ences to keep stadenw from losing their way in sequential operations. Since computer programmers can earn as ffltfch as $700 ft month to start and some perienced programmers earn $1,200 a month, Initial response to Ramer's advertising was heavy, he said, even though the course, costs $546. Lunar Trek Will Cost $24 Billion SPACE CENTER, HOUSTON It has taken almost $24 billion to give Neil A.

Armstrong a chance to walk the moon for two hours, 40 minutes. While he's doing it, the nation's first civilian astronaut will be earning only about $33 for his time. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration has received $23.915 billion for space flight since the agency was created 10 years ago. The money has gone for hardware, salaries, construction and training in a massive national effort to make the first man on the moon an American. Armstrong, highest paid of the flying astronauts, gets $27,401 a year.

Based on a 40-hour although he usually works longer than the Apollo 11 commander will get $32.92 for the two hours 40 minutes he spends walking the moon. If he had to pay for the space suit he'll be wearing, it would cost him al- mrJst 12 years' salary. The complete lunar surface outfit cost about $300,000. The two other Apollo 11 crewmen are Air Force officers. They get only what flying officers of their rank would receive in any other job.

Edwin E. Aldrin an Air Force colonel, receives $18,622.56 a year, including base pay, quarters and subsistence allowance, and flight pay. Air Force Lt. Col. Michael Collins get $17,147.76 a year, including the -fringe benefits.

Apollo 11 itself is costing NASA $350 million. This includes $55 million for the command module; $41 million for the lunar module and $185 million for the Saturn 5 launch booster. It will cost $69 million for mission support, the most spent yet for personnel, fuel and other earthbound expenses. Putting men on the moon has been expensive in another way, too. Eight American astronauts have lost their lives since the space program began 10 years ago.

Sharks Scramble Recovery Frogmen ABOARD USS HORNET (AP) Frogmen from the aircraft carrier Hornet, practicing for the recovery of the Apollo 11 command module when it returns to earth from its historic moon mission, were forced from the waters of the Pacific Ocean by sharks. The frogmen were attempting to attach a flotation collar to a mockup of the spaceship when the inquisitive sharks appeared Monday. The Navy swimmers climbed into a rubber liferaft until the sharks, apparently satisfied with their inspection of man's doings, departed. Students Give Advice to Neil LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) First graders in Byck Elementary School here have come up with some advice for Apollo 11 Commander Neil Armstrong that won't be found in a space agency manual.

Watch out for "moon beings." They may look like "an octopus with lots of hands" or gigantic "hot dogs." They may even want to hold hand-s. A 7-year-old had one sharp insight into the mission: "The further up you go, the more it's gonna cost." Boys end Gifts!
