In his testimony he also described how normal increases in employment will increase demand and also increase supply, but added that "in export-related activities, increased employment results in increased demand with no addition to supply." "We (small companies) do not have the necessary resources to compete in foreign markets without some assistance," Cohn said. "The D.I.S.C. has enabled us to compete on favorable terms in the world market against foreign competitors. If you take away the D.I.S.C, you will knock us and thousands of other small companies out of the box." Last year Ag-Met reached $60 million in volume with 25 per cent of the volume coming from export, Cohn reported. Over 1,000 families made a liv Gerald Cohn, this city, owner of Ag-Met, last week told Congress that export-related activities of small businesses should be encouraged and expanded.

Cohn testified before the House Ways and Means Committee in Washington which has been holding hearings to determine whether to do away with the Domestic Investment Sales Corporation program. The D.I.S.C. program has promoted small companies to do business overseas in order to help equalize the country's balance of payments, and granted specific tax benefits to the companies. Cohn told the committee he believes "one of the ways to quickly bring our economy into balance and to reduce unemployment would be to encourage, not discourage, export-related activities." He urged the committee to work for greater benefits Lone bandit hits bank for $10,814 A lone bandit made off with $10,814 in cash following a daring holdup of the First Eastern Bank branch office in the Midway Shopping Center, Wyoming, Tuesday afternoon.

(AP)-It took state police and a band of local farmers five hours Tuesday to locate and then subdue a snorting, kicking bull buffalo that had escaped from a farm. The animal, which state police said weighed a ton and appeared angry when cornered, escaped from a farm near Spring Grove late Monday.

A state police helicopter aided in locating the animal, which apparently spent the night roaming freely over the hills of this southeastern Pennsylvania farming region. Glen Hamme, owner of the buffalo, pleaded with troopers not to shoot the buffalo after it was cornered in a field. Troopers obliged, but said they spent more than an hour trying to locate a veterinarian who had a tranquilizer gun large enough to still the beast. Troopers said farmers here are starting to raise buffalo for beef and breeding purposes.

'i iB'f' Pecaf DALLAS, Tex.

(AP) Police say their hands are tied in attempts to control what has apparently become the "the going thing" among some local young people, sniffing laughing gas. Three teen-agers were found dead in a car in North Dallas over the weekend. A five-foot cylinder of laughing gas nitrous oxide was found on the floor of the car. The valve was open. A medical examiner said the youngsters died from asphyxiation.

The deaths of Ken Ribelin, 19, Mitchell Rude, 18, and Terry Lynne Long, 18, all of Dallas, are listed by the medical examiner as "unclassified." The designation is used when officials are unable to determine whether death was caused by accident or suicide. Narcotics officers said Monday that widespread use of nitrous oxide in place of glue sniffing and other methods of getting "high" is demonstrated by an increasing number of thefts of the gas from local hospitals. Earlier this year, a 26-yearold orderly at Presbyterian Hospital was found dead in an operating room. Authorities said he had gone there to inhale nitrous oxide. Nitrous oxide is described in medical texts as a general anesthetic which affects the entire body.

It is used conventionally by dentists and doctors with a specific mixture of oxygen. Officials at the medical examiner's office here said the gas creates "a blissful sensation separating the mind from the body." "We are hearing quite a bit about nitrous oxide now," one Dallas detective said Monday. "But there is nothing we can do about it because it is not a controlled substance." Nitrous oxide is not included in the Texas Controlled Substances Act, which regulates the possession of drugs such as marijuana, heroin and morphine.
