Lauterbach.

Among the nation's major steelmakers only Bethlehem, National and YoungstownLykes have not announced some sort of increase on sheet steel. The Wage Price Council. the government's inflationmonitoring agency, said it would ask the companies to provide data on costs and other trends affecting the industry, but its announcement did not suggest that the price hikes might be out of line. Last fall. the council pressured U.S.

Steel and Armco, into reducing announced hikes of 9 per cent on sheet steel to about 6.5 per cent. Most of the current price hikes are scheduled to take effect June 14. The council also said it would undertake a long-term study of other metals such as copper, zinc and aluminum determine wether the timing and magnitude of the recent rises are consistent with the price movements which occurred during earlier All of the steel firms have cited higher costs in announcing their increases.

Baboon Benefits Medical Science 'CINCINNATI (AP) One of the 50 baffling baboons who escaped from Kings Island Amusement Park has found himself in a new line of work as a participant in the development of artificial blood.

"It's a real step forward." said Clark.

of Children's Hospital Research Foundation. "This very well may presage the use of artificial blood in humans. Artificial blood is basically a fluorocarbon in an emulsion. The resulting substance can carry as much oxygen and carbon dioxide as fresh whole blood and will have the benefits of preventing diseases which might be transmitted in transfusion and also eliminate the problem of cross-matching. Clark said progress on artificial blood had been hampered by the use of the rhesus monkey, and which expensive had been to difpur- chase.

"The big thing was that the Rhesus monkey is not only neurotic. but very fragile as far as its cardio-vascular system," said Clark. "The baboon could do all the things we wanted with much better results than we could have gotten with the Rhesus. looks as if the baboon brings us a lot closer to the human being as far as his cardiovascular Although Clark refused to speculate on when the artificial blood might be ready to test on humans. he said the baboon was responding well.

"Last he was eating bananas and drinking cola and aide," Clark said. Clark been working on the artificial blood program for over a decade. In addition to his research in the area of artificial blood. he is also noted for development of an artificial kidney, the heart-lung machine and a blood oxygen analyzer. The baboons have achieved notoriety since they took to finding their own way around.

So far, the park has been able to round up all but four of the baboons and park officials said they are still planning to ship the animals back to their original owners. Park officials said however that they will make a concession and keep two of the animals. admitted publicist Dan Aylward. "we did say in our advertising that we were going to have baboons. So we'll keep two.

But we'll make sure they stay in their cages this time."
