"wv-a rt. (A Dig THE SUN, Thursday, October 30, 1975 4m vw.r. CiPToteptvx Patuxent escapers still loose The cover of the Bell System's new telephone book Phone book rylC liv)vi yl Koppers firm to move from historic offices The offices of the Koppers Company, one of Baltimore's oldest firms, will move from its historic Scott street plant in December to a new building on what was formerly known as Joh avenue- To honor the move, the city has renamed the avenue Koppers street. Yesterday, workmen began removing the cast iron statues of "Sailor" and "Canton" that have stood like watchdogs outside the entrance to the Bartlett-Hayward Building since the 1850's. The statues will be sandblasted and cleaned and put on the doorstep of the new building when it opens about December 15, a spokeswoman for the firm said yesterday.

The spokeswoman added that only the offices would move and that the shops would stay at the Scott street address. She said she did not know exactly the future of the old office building, parts of which were built in the 1830's, but said it was possible it would be razed. What is now the Bartlett-Hayward Division of the Koppers Company, was born in 1832 when George M. Hayward opened a stove business. The historic statues of the dogs, which are said to be modeled after the two foundlands that founded the line of Chesapeake Bay retrievers, were cast at the firm's Scott street plant in the 1850's, according to a Koppers pamphlet.

Because the founders and partners in the firm enjoyed hunting canvasback ducks, they chose the two dogs as the emblem of the firm. The pamphlet continues: "According to accepted sources, Sailor and Canton were two Newfoundland dogs that were brought to the Chesapeake Bay country by George Law in 1807. Sailor went to Governor Edward Lloyd, of Wye, Talbot county, to become the founder of the Eastern Shore strain Canton went to Dr. James Stewart, of Sparrows Point, Pa-tapsco Neck, to become the ancestor of the Western Shore strain "On both Shores the dogs and their progeny were crossed and recrossed with local dogs, among them water spaniels, coon dogs or hounds and favorite local animals of less well-defined parentage." The breed was recognized in 1877. Jessup, Md.

(Special) State Police yesterday searched a densely wooded area near here for two convicts who broke out of the Patuxent Institution by driving a dump truck through the prison's chain link fence. Officials at the institution, which houses defective delinquents, said James Campbell, 34, and David Tucker, 30-both of Baltimore and the two still at large were with two other inmates who, around 11 A.M. yesterday, scaled a fence in the recreation yard and commandeered one of the insitution's dump trucks. They drove through the first of the two parallel link fences that surround the maximum-security prison. The truck was halted by the second fence, prison officials said, but the impact opened it enough to allow the four to escape into the woods nearby.

Donald Raynor, 20, of River-dale, and Paul Simpson, 22, of Morningside, were captured within 5 minutes of the break, after they emerged from the woods near the State Police barrack at Waterloo. Raynor is serving a seven- year term for breaking into a storehouse and a home. Simpson is serving 20 years for armed robbery. A State Police spokesman at Waterloo said the police are confident the other two escapers are still in a wooded section about 3 square miles in area. "We feel they haven't left that area," the spokesman said.

"We were through with dogs as best we could, but it's kind of hard because of the underbrush. Now we're keeping up the perimeter patrols." The two prisoners still at large are both under long sentences. Campbell is serving 75 years for armed robbery and assault with intent to murder. Tucker was sentenced to 20 years for armed robbery and robbery. Authorities said the escapers are considered dangerous.

Naval craft show The Naval Academy Wom en's Club will present its annual craft show and sale, "Spirit of Christmas III" from 10 A.M. to 5 P.M. November 4 on the upper deck of Dahlgren Hall, the midshipmen's new recreation center. Lunch will be available at the Drydock Restuarant on the main deck. ANNIVERSARY SALE vignettes of Americana The Statue of Liberty talking on a telephone? The Bell System sees nothing odd in that.

And if Miss Liberty can do it, then it should be no feat for George Washington to pick up the receiver. Or Benjamin Franklin, Abraham Lincoln and Whistler's Mother. Even a baby and a dog-it Is not called a dog, but Man's Best Friend have their say over the wire on the cover of the new telephone directory now being distributed to nearly a million homes in the Baltimore area. Indeed this cover reportedly adorns most of the 180 million directories to be issued during the coming year by the Bell System. Depicted on the front and back of the new book are 32 "A-merican heroes, myths and common people," to quote a description attributed to Stanley Meltzoff, the New Jersey artist who painted them.

Most subjects are shown in two poses. The inspiration for this mixture of phones, heroes and common folk was a double birthday the nation's 200th and the telephone's 100th. Putting those ideas together, Mr. Meltzoff found himself with a cover. It evokes pictures of American life as portrayed by Norman Rockwell on the old Saturday Evening Post.

Lest there be any doubt of that influence, Mr. Meltzoff has included only one artist among his telephone users, and it is Mr. Rockwell. Oddly, one hero is talking into something else besides a telephone. It is one of his own silver candlesticks.

Others use different telephones developed over the years. Someone who is identified as the American Indian, for example, holds a pink desk model developed in 1954. George Washington also uses that model, but he chose one in what appears to be off-white. Shirley Temple appears as Miss Curlytop of the 1930's but talks into a 1968 model. "The Eskimo" is pictured with a 1968 transparent phone not commercially produced.

Whistler's Mother is talking into a model one would hardly have expected her to have access to: an 1892 diver-tender's transmitter. Uncle Sam, Dad, the Cub Scout, an astronaut, Marian Anderson, Mark Twain all have their say through Bell devices on this cover that Mr. Meltzoff said he wanted to be "happy, festive, colorful, amusing, full of good wishes and fond memories, old sentiments and new hopes." Talking into the candlestick is Paul Revere. A GI in combat helmet gets, appropriately enough, a field telephone. A rather hardbitten looking "teen-ager" in haircurlers monopolizes a 1968 Touch-Tone Trimline and, to complete the cliches, three moppets in party hats broadcast a birthday long distance.

Alexander Graham Bell, looking not at all discomfited at what he heiped wrought, talks into "the first phone: a liquid transmitter with tuned reed receiver." Sunpapers photo George H. Cook Company. A workman removes "Canton" from the steps of the Koppers Tenants unit convention will open here today The meeting is expected to focus on changes in federal housing policy, which underwent an upheaval in legislation enacted a year ago and in administrative measures adopted by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Those changes include an end to new construction of public housing for poor families and a shift in subsidy programs to cash payments to private landlords to replace former mortgage subsidies paid on apartment projects housing low- and families. United Fund up 78 By KAREN E.

WaRMKESSEL The United Fund-CICHA campaign has raised more than S10 million, a 78 per cent in crease over the 15,657,777 re ported two weeks ago, drive of ficials said yesterday. That total is 11,758,117 more than last year's contributions for the first six weeks of the fund-raising campaign, which raised a grand total of more than $13.2 million. While more than 450 persons attended the United Fund sec ond report luncheon yesterday at the Lord Baltimore Hotel, about 30 members of Local 1199-E of the National Union of Hospital and Health Care Employees (AFL-CIO) picketed outside. Sixty-three union employees of the PickersgiU Home for the Aged in Towson went on strike Monday after contract negotia tions failed. Yesterday's picketing was to protest the United Fund's support of the home.

There were no incidents during the four-hour protest, and the meeting came off as planned. In campaign reports yesterday, fund leaders announced that the corporate contributions in the both "large firms" divisions totaled more than $4 mil lion. Other major contributions included $1,555,691 from the finance division and $118,536 from the agencies. "The fuel that makes this campaign work it's called hard work," Harvey M. Meyer-hoff, campaign chairman, said.

While not predicting a grand total, he said this year's campaign will be the "greatest campaign in Central Maryland's history." The presence of the pickets yesterday caused some concern among top United Fund officials, but apparently proved no problem for members of other unions who crossed the lines. The fund has stressed that the PickersgiU Home receives no cash allocation from the fund, and therefore is not subject to budgetary review and United Fund control. This year it is indirectly receiving in employee welfare and health benefits from a trust within the fund.

The national tenants meeting here follows a year of increased tenant activism in Baltimore, largely by tenants living in federally subsidized housing operated by private owners under direct contracts with the federal housing department. Rising rents and poor maintenance conditions have prompted rent strikes in the metropolitan area, from the two-month strike at the Up- glands Apartments in West Bal timore to the continuing rent strike that began in April at the Kenmarr Apartments in Annapolis. to our USED CAR CUSTOMERS Chesapeake Cadillac Preview Showing of '71 to 75 CADILLACS plus other makes models reduced before Holiday Sale The Chesapeake Cadillac Co. 2401 N.Charles St. phone 366-9000 712 1 YEAR CERTIFICATE $1,000 or More MAIL YOUR DEPOSIT M.S.S.I.C.
