SIPC ability to speak seven languages fluently. That skill keeps him on the run. He splits his time between Paris, where he maintains a house with his wife and four children, and New York, where his family can sometimes be found filling two suites in a luxury hotel. His knowledge of how to deal with the Soviets especially dates back almost to the beginning of his 53 years. Among his earliest memories, as he recounts in his autobiography, "Of Blood and Hope," is the day Soviet troops occupied Bialystok, his birthplace in Poland.

Two years after that, he writes, "the bad was succeeded by the worst." It was the Nazis, and Pisar lost his family to them. At age 14, and alone in the world, he was shipped in a cattle car to the concentration camps, which he miraculously survived. "As you can see," he freely admits, looking about his hotel suite, "I have survived very, very well 1 sometimes ask myself if I haven't survived a little bit too well." SAMUEL PISAR tale of 2 continents barriers could help Pisar's business of negotiating international treaties, a skill undoubtedly helped by his cibH J.B.HanauerG'Co. MUNICIPAL BOND SPECIALISTS SINCE 1931 will tell you about NEW YORK (AP) Samuel Pisar's life Is "a tale of two continents." Dividing his home life between Paris and New York, the lawyer is constantly on the move, helping arrange international trade deals and propounding his belief that neither East nor West can survive without fewer trade barriers. Peaceful relations must involve extensive trade of non-strategic commodities, says Pisar, whose 1970 book, "Coexistence and Commerce," is regarded by many people as a primer on developing markets Inside Communist countries.

Pisar's views are valued in many board rooms and government offices. He counts former French President Valerie Giscard d'Estaing among his close friends, and has dealt with Henry Kissinger, David Rockefeller, Armand Hammer, Saudi Sheik Ahmed Zaki Yamani. The trade journal American Lawyer calls Pisar "the most famous lawyer in Paris." Louis F. Sharpe, a New York-based consultant on East-West trade, says he is "highly regarded very capable." Pisar has shown himself to be especially adept at lifting the Iron Curtain for huge American companies. He helped negotiate a multibillion-dollar deal in which Occidental Petroleum and the Soviets agreed to swap Armand Hammer's phosphate fertilizer for Soviet ammonia.

He steered Coca-Cola and Revlon through the Kremlin and into Soviet stores. He arranged for Seagrams to sell its liquors in Russia and import real Russian vodka to the United States. He helped John Deere negotiate a deal to exchange know-how with the Soviets on tractors and earth-moving equipment. And it is from this base that he speaks when he Insists that trade barriers must be lifted so the superpowers can stop "bleeding one another white" with the military buildup. The United States and Soviet Union are "putting the best brains and the best resouces in sterile and unproductive things that we hope, we pray, will never be used namely ever more lethal and ever more costly weapons," Pisar says.

"Now this Is at best waste, without enough resources to take care of other simmering problems inside our society and other parts of the world." And, Pisar insists, "We don't have a balance of strength; we have a balance of weakness," one that cannot be beaten through continued building of arsenal on arsenal. He says the West must find "a way to move the Soviet Union along with ourselves out of the shadow of a nuclear holocaust Into the arena of any kind of relationship, like trade, competition, economic and industrial cooperation." "With luck," he says, "it's possible."

From page 1G station to point its signal towards its viewers. With the old tower, the signal was disseminated equally in all directions. Also, the tower will utilize circular waveguide, an innovation that allows a signal to retain more of its strength. Hoffman said WBBH decided to go ahead with the project because of the growth potential in Southwest Florida and because the station believes free broadcasting will prevail as leader in the competition with subscriber cable service. "We think that this already is a good TV market and it will keep Improving this year," he said.

"We have confidence in the future of free, open-air broadcasting. I still think the limit of cable is software, its basic programming. I don't think there's anyone with the capacity to develop programming in competition with the three networks." This philosophy Is exactly opposite to the thinking at WEVU-TV, Channel 26, the ABC affiliate based in Bonita Springs. Ray Karpowicz, the station's president and general manager, said that station has no plans to replace Its 750-foot tower, because cable is becoming increasingly popular. "We feel that with cable expanding rapidly, everyone will have cable and, at some point in the future, towers will become useless," he said.

Karpowicz added that the number of people WEVU might reach by expanding its service "would be minimal. "I think what it boils down to is that, as you reach out farther, the population Is thin and all you're really reaching is alligators," he said. At WINK-TV, the CBS affiliate, vice president and general manager Robert Doty said officials considered sharing the cost and use of the new tower with WBBH, but decided against it. "We talked about going up there with WBBH, but our research said to us that there wasn't any cost benefit advantage," he said.
