And what do you hear? The sound, claims the label, is "Harpy Cries, 10 seconds." NOW A HARPY Is a horrcn dous creature with the body ol a dirty bird and the face of a loathsome woman. How one Thomas J.

Valentino of New York ever got one of those to his recording microphone, I don't know. But It's In his catalog. In fact, his motto boasts a sound spectrum! "From a cat's meow to a lion's roar 'A' pistol shot to a World War," i i You can sit by yourself at home, with some of Tom's records, a phonograph turntable and, for instance, find yourself in the middle of an exuberant bon. voyage party going full blast including the boat whistle to send stragglers ashore. Or you can tell a Joke and hear just one woman laugh for a guaranteed three minutes without stopping.

If you want to play for a theater full of people, then another record will give you just five seconds less than a three-minute yock-fest. IF YOU YEARN for the sound of a hedgehog, there's a 10-second cut guaranteed to deliver just that. Or maybe you'd like a 25-second herd of elephants on a sanitary stam pede through your study. For nostalgia, you can listen to streetcars stopping, starting, the bell ringing, passing. Even that generator running sound is ready for you.

The bizarre? Can you match this record which Tom de scribes as: "Women screaming continu ous the terrifying scream first of one woman then three women and finally, an entire group of women." If you're the lord-ot '-manor type, you can have a three-minute fox hunt with galloping steeds, baying hounds and horns blaring. Want to go into battle in a submarine? You can hear 45 seconds of orders to up peri scope, sight, load torpedo, fire. The commands are in Esper proposed by Russell Ackerman, superintendent of licenses, at the request of the city council's ways and means committee which is seeking new revenue sources. The 10 per cent blanket Increase, Ackerman said, would add $85,000 to city license rev. enues.

The exceptions to the ln crease would be bicycle licenses and cigaret and "off-sale" beer and liquor licenses whose fees are set by the state. Ackerman included real estate dealers and radio and television dealers among new businesses that might be licensed. ALSO INCLUDED were black dirt and sod dealers, storage and repair garages, sidewalk news stands, photogra. phers employing solicitors, sand and gravel dealers and truck ing companies. Ackerman also suggested the following amendments to ex isting licensing ordinances: Include laundries and pick- up stations under dry cleaning licensing.

Include fuel oil dealers un der fuel dealer licensing. Increase hotel licenses from $7 to $25, plus $1 per year for each room over 25 Require second hand dealer licenses for merchants selling tradedin merchandise.

Kent, a press agent, also sug gested It was done for publicity purposes. Mrs. Hormel said "publicity is the last thing Geordie would want." "No one can realize how dif flcult it is to live in a glare of publicity a life in a fish bowl," she told the Austin newspaper, NewsDaner stories as far away as France bring "crank letters" and pleas lor money, she said.

Through acting associates, Nolte promoted an interview with Guthrie McClintic, producer and husband of actress Katherlne Cornell. "They were looking for someone who looked like a Roman soldier," said Nolte, who is blond and looks like a Viking voyager. But he got the part in Miss Cornell's production of "Antony and Cleopatra."

Combined purchase price of the three stations was "about 3 million dollars and other considerations," according to Harry M. Bitner, president of the firm that operates WFBM-TV and WFBM in Indianapolis, radio and television stations in Grand Rapids, and radio stations in Flint, and Evansville, Ind.

Bitner did not elaborate on what the "other considerations" included. HE SAID HIS firm purchased the Minneapolis stations because "confusion arising from sharing of a channel" created an attractive opportunity for purchase. Bitner said he did not contemplate any sweeping changes in the programming. "There will be some adjust ments" In regard to the staff of the stations, he said. The purchase is subject to ap proval of the federal eommuni cations commission (FCC).

N. L. (Larry) Bentson, presi dent of WMIN Broadcasting said WTCN-TV and WMIN TV will be merged into a single station by March 1 if FCC ap proval is given. IT WAS NOT known what call letters would identify the station. Walter Butler, an owner of WTCN-TV and WTCN last rtUtht declined to comment on the sale.

The purchase of the two sep arately-owned television sta lions and their merger Into one station probably will make little difference to televiewers since the stations now share time on channel 11 and carry programs cf the American Broadcasting Co.
