The Morning Call from Allentown, Pennsylvania • 20

FIRST B4 THE MORNING CALL. ALLENTOWN. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1980 Mining metals in seas to be topic of study Population shifts bringing problems of cites to rural areas, study finds UNIVERSITY PARK AP Population shifts during the 1970s have made rural areas much more industrial, bringing to the wide open spaces the problems and progress of the cities, a Pennsylvania State University researcher said yesterday. "Today, many rural communities have truly shifted from agricultural to industrial and have been incorporated into an urban system," said Kenneth Wilkinson, a professor of rural sociology. A fourth of the United States' population lives in rural areas, Wilkinson said.

During the early 1970s, nearly three million urban migrants moved to the country, while many of the better-educated rural youth left for the cities, Wilkinson added. The changes have brought conflicts, he said. "One problem is that the migrants to rural areas generally are younger and better educated than the people who remain behind," Wilkinson said. "These newcomers are challenging the Wilkinson said. Other problems include crime, environmental pollution, alienation and a loss of control over property, business and politics, Wilkinson said.

Rural areas still lag far behind urban areas in incomes, educational levels, housing quality, health care and other public services, Wilkinson said. The improvement of rural life for some has made life harder for others, Wilkinson said. Racial and ethnic minorities who have remained in rural areas are among the poorest Americans, suffering from relatively poor nutrition and health, high infant and child mortality, substandard housing and inadequate job skills, he said. These minorities, including the rural elderly, are unable to compete in the new job market, dominated by industries instead of farms, Wilkinson said. Wilkinson's findings will appear in the "Handbook of Community Mental Health" to be published later this year.

local leadership of native residents and are getting many of the high-status jobs." The jobs reflect the change in rural areas, he said. Modernization of agricultural methods have reduced the number of farm jobs available in recent decades, while industries, attracted by relatively cheap labor and land to expand, have moved in. The industries, which often are owned by absentee owners, such as large corporations, employ one of every four rural workers, Wilkinson said. As a result, rural communities have experienced economic growth and can provide opportunities for schooling, jobs, health care and other services that were never before available, Wilkinson said. The rural community composed of a small group of people with similar backgrounds and outlooks in a self-sufficient, relatively closed social organization has been sacrificed, year by scientists on a research submarine, are believed to be a principal source of precious metals, supplying $3 billion worth of gold, silver, copper, zinc and lead a year, Ohmoto said.

"Although such deposits are rich in ores, exist in diverse geological settings and were commonly formed throughout much of geologic time, little is understood about how they were formed," Ohmoto said. The idea behind the study, which is being partly funded by a $650,000, three-year grant from the National Science Foundation, is to find out how the deposits were formed, at least to the extent that the locations of others might be predicted, Ohmoto said. Ohmoto's theory is that extensive volcanic activity in the deepest areas of the oceans caused seabeds to fracture and form large depressions, five to 20 miles in diameter. Seawater that seeped into the fractures became superheated and dissolved minerals from rocks as it circulated through volcanic regions. "As the water became hot and lighter, some of the fluid was forced upward through the fissures back into the sea, in hot spring-like torrents," Ohmoto said.

"Hundreds of thousands or millions of years later, these metal troves ended up as part of the terrestrial crust as ancient seas died and their beds were uplifted in normal geological processes," Ohmoto said. UNIVERSITY PARK AP) The possibility that the oceans floors are covered with gold, silver, copper, zinc and lead deposits that could someday be mined has launched a study expedition to Japan. Dr. Hiroshi Ohmoto, a Pennsylvania State University professor of geochemistry, is leading an international study involving 40 scientists and graduate students to investigate the Kuroko sulfide deposits in northern Japan. The deposits are theorized to have been formed eons ago in ancient oceans when volcanic chimneys belched forth jets of superheated, mineral-laden water.

The plumes of sub-sea jet streams were cooled in the near-freezing sea water, raining minerals onto the seabed. The mineral deposits were gradually covered by lava and sediments and became part of the land mass beneath the earth's surface as the entire seabed was raised as the ancient oceans drained, the theory contends. More than 100 of these "volcanogeniic massive sulfide deposits" have been discovered so far, Ohmoto said. One, in Jerome, Ariz. was once the U.S.

's main source of copper and zinc, he added. "These Kuroko deposits were chosen," Ohmoto said, "because they are geologically young. They are widely mined, making sampling of ores and rocks relatively easy, and much information is available from previous studies. Sub-sea jet streams, which were photographed last Newsletter gives data on suits against Iran "The next thing we're going to do is the 'Toxic Substances Andrews said, explaining that it has been in the works for about eight months and should be publishing by the summer. It will focus on lawsuits over Agent Orange, PCBs, kepone and other substances.

Andrews attributes his success to two factors. His overhead is low and his subscribers almost always renew because they are afraid of missing an obscure but precedent-setting decision. "Most newsletters spend 25 to 35 percent of their gross soliciting new subscribers." Andrews said. "All I have to do is mail them one postcard." 150 pages. His most successful and enduring newsletters are the "Swine Flu Claim and Litigation Reporter," the "Asbestos Litigation Reporter" and the "National Bankruptcy Reporter," Andrews said.

"We specialize in highly complicated legal proceedings." Andrews said, adding that his network of 110 part-time reporters and eight full-time staffers combs records in every major American courthouse. Most legal papers are reprinted in full. While acknowledging that the business is "very, very good" financially, he refused to divulge any specific information about his profits. "I own this company 100 percent and I don't even give any information to Dun Bradstreet. NEW YORK AP) In Leonard Andrews' world, the crisis in Iran is pretty much the same as the alarms over swine flu virus and asbestos poisoning all generators of litigation.

And even now Andrews is looking past Iran to his next project: Non-nuclear toxic wastes. The Edgemont, Delaware County, entrepreneur is in the business of closing an information gap. For a price, he keeps lawyers abreast of suits filed around the nation in the wake of the crisis of the moment. He embarked on his first venture 10 years ago at age 45 when he concluded that lawyers would not be able to keep track of all the proceedings growing out of the bankruptcy of the Penn Central Railroad. He established a network of part-time reporters in courthouses throughout the country and published a newsletter about the case for lawyers.

Advertisements placed this week in newspapers here and other cities advertised his latest venture, the "Iranian Assets Litigation Reporter." "We're getting a terrific response to the ads." Andrews said in a telephone interview from his headquarters in suburban Philadelphia. About 150 lawsuits involving Iran have been filed in American courts, he said, and about half of them are in federal court in Manhattan. "The Iranian thing just came along and it seemed a natural for us," Andrews said. He charges $900 for a six-month subscription to the Iranian newsletter, which begins bi-monthly publication next Friday. He said he expects most editions, which contain no advertising, to be 100 to FYI Defense rests in murder, rape and robbery trial Visiting nurse unit lists membership drive The Palmerton Visiting Nurse As- cnpiatinn will haain upflr nf service today when it opens its annual membership drive.

The association was founded by the late Samuel Kramer in 1955 to provide home health services to residents of the Palmerton, Bowmanstown and Lower Towamensing Township areas. The membership fee is $5 a year. Membership applications may be secured from the visiting nurse office or at Palmerton Hospital. Last year, the visiting nurse made more than 3,400 calls. Gilotti predicted that the prices of homes will continue to rise because of the inflated costs of materials and higher wages.

Rotarians hear talk on home ownership Members of the Lehighton Rotary Club heard the advantages and disadvantages of home ownership at this week's meeting in the Lehighton American Legion post.

Vincent Gilotti, Lehighton Realtor, listed location as one of the most important considerations when purchasing a home. He pointed out that the outlook on the residential market in the Lehighton area is good because the children from the post World War II baby boom are now in their buying years. chiatrist, said Clark may have been prompted to admit he was at the scene of the crime while under the influence of sodium amythal. Clark was interviewed June 15, 1976, at the Geisinger Medical Center after being given the drug. He told authorities then that he was at the county assistance office the night of the slaying.

Sadoff said it may have been suggested to Clark, then 17, that he was at the assistance office that night. "That suggestion of remembering may have stayed with him," Sadoff testified. "You can get people under sodium amythal to agree to things if you've been authoritative enough." Clark, whose trial was moved to Harrisburg because of extensive publicity, testified this week that he was in another room when the murder occurred. Closing arguments in the trial are set for today. HARRISBURG AP) The defense for David Clark, charged in the murder, rape and robbery of an elderly Danville woman, closed yesterday after five defense witnesses said they saw the victim the day after the slaying.

Clark, 21, is charged with the April 1976 murder of Dorothy Bonawitz, former director of the Montour County Board of Assistance. The prosecution contends she was killed late Saturday night or early Sunday morning, Aprii 24 or 25. The defense witnesses, which included two deaf men testifying in sign language, all said they knew the victim and saw her that Sunday. Among them was Benton Kline, a Greyhound bus driver from Sunbury. He said he saw Miss Bonawitz on Sunday and tried to tell that to police.

"I wanted to help," Kline said. "They did not want to believe me. I was sure that it was Sunday."
