A spokesman said the cost of installation for the device will be nominal but declined to state an actual figure. The device has been under study for two years, the spokesman said, and reduces emission by simply recirculat- ing quantities of a fumes. The unit is located on the engine's intake manifold and does not contribute to congestion under the auto's hood, said Dr. Laurence M. Richards, ARCO vice president.

Meanwhile, the County Board of Supervisors moved to obtain 1 additional information about Detroit research on smog controls reportedly more than five times as effective as those on 1966 cars. On suggestion of Supervisor Warren M. Dorn, the supervisors requer a report from the U.S. Senate subcommittee on air and water pollution after it holds hearings in 1 Detroit. County Air Pollution Control Officer Louis J.

Fuller told tlie committee on Monday that industry representatives had informed him work is now under way on exhaust controls that would limit hydrocarbon emissions to 50 parts per million. Urges 'Crash Program' At present new cars sold in California are supposed to meet a standard of 275 ppm -and Fuller contends many of them do not even obtain this goal under the "averaging" system of testing. Dorn said he felt there should be a "crash program" to get the new device out of the laboratory stage and engineered for assembly line auto production. Witnesses before the subcommittee estimated such engineering work could take at least five years. Coordinator for Proaram Named Eursell Cordell has been named coordinator for the 1967 Career Guidance Center to be held by Los Angeles County section, California chapter of Soil Conservation Society of America, San Fernando Valley Soil Conservation District, and Kiwams Club of Lancaster.
