He is a registered professional high technology Israel beats sword into market share Lasers read fingerprints? old methods could not LUBBOCK, Texas Dusting for fingerprints at a crime!" scene may one day be replaced by laser beam detection, pre-" diets a Texas Tech University professor who has been research ing the method for eight years. "It's not a quick process, but it's been a long time since I've i had a case where I didn't do better with the laser." said Roland Menzel, a Tech physics professor. "There is a proposal to cut back our reserves of oil and meat and to begin immediately to invest" in new industries, he told a meeting of business leaders in Karmiel.

Israel's strategic reserves are classified, but it is known to keep enough oil in underground storage tanks to keep the country running for an extended period in case of war. Peres sees the high-tech industry as the basis for a social revolution, guaranteeing high employment and attracting highly skilled Western immigrants. His plans include technical schools to train high-tech workers in underdeveloped Arab villages in the Galilee region, where Palestinians with Israeli citizenship slightly outnumber Jewish Israelis. "There is a conflict between Arabs and Jews over land. Indus It exported an additional $1 billion worth of military equipment ranging from air-to-air missiles to artillery shells last year.

Prime Minister Shimon Peres says he is determined to build Israel's future on high-technology industry, even if he has to cut back strategic oil reserves for the money to get it started. New Communities already have begun to spring up around high-tech factories in the hills of Israel's northern Galilee region. A group of industrialists and scientists, headed by former President Ephraim Katzir, are drawing up plans for more factories that could turn the area into Israel's "silicon mountains." "Here I see the future beginning to work," Peres said during a recent tour of Karmiel, a town of 20,000 people sprawling over the rolling countryside that is foreseen as the hub of the industrial zone. The plan, which has prompted objections from environmentalists, calls for five new industrial areas spread over 50,000 acres. But the project needs a huge infusion of money.

Peres, after a briefing at Galran, said the factory needed an immediate investment of $20 million and an additional $10 million annually over the next five years before it could begin to support itself. Peres hopes to raise that kind of money through increased U.S. development aid, private investors and a minimum of government funds. His new bipartisan government is facing demands for help from other sectors suffering from the stumbling economy. Cities are nearly bankrupt.

The Jrofitability of farms and textile actories, traditionally the backbone of Israel's export industry, is declining. KARMIEL. Israel AP) For decades some of Israel's best scientists worked in secrecy developing weapons systems to help maintain a qualitative edge over numerically superior Arab enemies. Now Israel wants to apply the technology for civilian uses. "A missile is only a robot.

The same guidance control system can be used for robots in industry," said Zev Bonen, director of Rafael, the government arms development company. Rafael has opened a subsidiary called Galran to make equipment like a microfocus X-ray tube for medical diagnosis. "The technology of vacuum electronics for this was developed for missiles and electronic warfare," Bonen said. In the past five years Israel has doubled its high-tech exports, reaching $1.5 billion last year in civilian products. By 1990 it hopes to reach $5 billion.

Menzel said the FBI and the Los Angeles Police Department are already using lasers to identify fingerprints. "Quite often, you can pick up fingerprints (with the laser) that you couldn't get otherwise, and I see the day when this will be the way to detect fingerprints," he said. Menzel said his first success was in a case in Canada in 1977. The only piece of evidence was a plastic bag containing drugs. Conventional methods couldn't pick up a print.

"Using the laser, I found the fingerprint on the tape that closed the bag. It was the only evidence in the case and after the discovery of the fingerprint, the suspect pleaded guilty," Menzel said. The 41-year-old professor said in a recent interview that he was working on methods to detect fingerprints on such difficult surfaces as wood, cardboard, cloth and skin. try is the answer," Peres said. Las Cruces- can be picked up in some parts of the West Side.

If KASK was to reach the rest of El Paso, it would have to be part of the cable television service. Pat Bresnan, general manager of Group Cable of El Paso Inc. in El Paso, said Group has no legal obligation to carry KASK, but it may once he sees what KASK's programming is. "We would like to be in El Paso, but Las Cruces is the market we serve," Matthews said. The station employs 25 Matthews has plans to expand his local coverage.

This year, he will air Pacific Coast Athletic Association games, some of which will feature New Mexico State University. He has radio rights to the NMSU football and basketball games, and plans to talk with university officials about getting television rights as well.

At the same time, the station will add seven hours to its broadcast day. Starting Sunday, KASK will sign on at 6 a.m. instead of 1 p.m. as it did its first weeks. That may tax the station finances, but Matthews claims between 35 and 40 different Las Cruces advertisers.

The station produces local advertising, and station production manager Pat Holian said his crew already has made 60 different commercials. "We've found them to be very professional," Anderson said. Originally, Matthews who helped start KHMS, El Paso's first FM station wanted a low- Eower television station he could roadcast on Channel 11. However, it took too long to get a low-power station, so he opted instead for Channel 48. Continued from 1G are having an effect, Sainz isn't as sure.

However, he said he believes the station will become more popular, and his commercials will have more effect when that happens. One reason the station is not immediately popular is the difficulty Matthews encountered when trying to get his programming published. He found that companies that provide television listings to newspapers wouldn't print schedules until after KASK went on the air. That left most Las Crucens unaware of what programs the station carried. Matthews said that will change this week, when KASK will be listed in TV Guide magazine and the Las Cruces newspa- mum mmmmci 100 Mtullvt Cinltr 1 I vd.
