WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1965 Cy Says. DEAR CY: What was a walloping number of trade opportunities listed in "International Commerce" magazine last ycai (35,254, according to you). Perhaps you can also tell whether any attempt is made to check on foreign companies desiring business contacts with American firms. How "hot" are these foreign business leads? DENVERS DEAR DENVERS: "Export Opportunities" listed in "International Commerce" magazine are gathered by our commercial officers and embassy officials abroad. Anyone seeking new American business contacts usually checks with them.

Source of each reqeust is checked by our foreign representatives in World Trade Directory, in order to screen out undesirable firms or risks. If all appears well, the export lead is airgrammed to the state department In Washington. The state department then sends the information to our U.S. department of commerce. Fred Otis managing editor of "International Commerce" magazine, tells me, "Export opportunity information is released to American businesses no later than seven days after it arrives in this country." And to think circulation of "International Commerce" is only CY DEARCY: What is "bait Hearing of an unusual bargain offer on the radio for a spinet piano, I hurried to the store.

Upon arrival, I was told by the salesman, "Sorry, lady, but we Jusl say "Charge Eastgate Plaza Open 10 a.m. to p.m. just sold our last one of that model. We have some others you may like." Of course, the others they showed me were all higher priced than the piano offered. I blew my top! Fifteen minutes couldn't have elapsed between the commercial and my entering the store.

As I departed, the salesman walked after me into the street hollering, "You and I know, lady, we do not indulge in bait advertising." MRS. GELNORA DEAR MRS. GELNORA: When merchandise is heralded at bargain prices with no intention of making a sale you have "bait advertising." Hems advertised in this way are often spoken of as being "nailed to the floor." This nefarious practice is frowned on by ethical retailers (the majority) and screened out by most advertising media. Newspapers, with which 1 am most familiar, work very closely with the- Better Business Bureaus and business groups to suppress "bait advertising." An integral part of "bait advertising" is the man who persistently goes to great lengths to protest his innocence. CY DEAR CY: As I was waving good-bye to my aunt at the railroad station, she said, "Things are getting so bad at home, stores are even automating collections by telephone." We still owe some Christmas bills, and are wondering if stores will bother us with transcribed announcements demanding their money.

MRS. SPRING DEAR MRS. SPRING: Bill-collecting is becoming automated, but don't expect to be badgered by tape recorder. Firms, using the automatic collection method, have cards preprocessed by clerical help, with telephone numbers of delinquent accounts. CY Watch for Our BIG Food Ad in Tomorrow's Telegraph!

Strom, who walked away from 15 plane crashes during his 50 years as aj stunt flyer, will be buried in Chicago Friday. Strom djed Sunday in Los Angeles at age 71, apparently the victim of a heart attack.

Strom, the son of a Swedish artist and a native of Chicago, achieved several firsts as a flyer. He said he was the first man to be married in an airplane and he made the first landing at Midway Airport with passengers in 1922. Strom began flying gliders in 1909 and made his maiden flight in a powered aircraft in 1911. Strom lost his hearing in 1920 when his plane crashed into the Milwaukee! County Hospital. In 1923, he knocked over 96 trees while making a forced landing a Rockford nursery Strom's most famous stunt was performed while he and his wife, Ann Boy, were members of the Ethel Dare circus.

Miss Boy would walk along the wing of Strom's plane and into the cockpit of another plane. The Stroms were later divorced. BUILDING OR REMODELING? SEE US ESTIMATES!

Ifoodwoy 445-5524 Mtaty of By BOB CONSID1NE NEW YORK The most depressing news from Viet Nam is only now beginning to filter through, what with the return of American wounded and the publication of letters from men on the spot. The depressing news is that there are an awful lot of Vietnamese who have no stomach for (he war we're helping them fight. That goes for our Seato allies, too.

The assistance rendered U.S. and South Korean forces during the Korean War was of a token nature, except the British Commonwealth Division. But at least it was there and pledged to fight.

and what appears to be a pretty tattered Vietnamese banner. Capt. Carlton Holland, as handsome and virile as any TV marshal, wrote to his wife in Junction City, a few days before he was killed in Due Phong, that the main reason he had ordered barbed wire strung around a hill where he was serving as an adviser to a defending force of Vietnamese was not to keep the Viet Cong from breaking through but the Vietnamese from breaking cut. Thirty of the 76 troops he served with deserted after receiving their first pay checks. Vietnamese brass from Saigon, visiting the area, had no conception of the rigors of life in the field.
