U.S., Japanese Publishers Break Up Scientific Book Pirating Racket By AL KAFF United Press Staff Correspondent TOKYO — American and Japanese publishers disclosed to day they have broken up a scientific book pirating racket tailored for the atomic age. They have induced Susumu Yamamoto, a former Japanese army officer, to stop copying and selling at bargain rates highly technical American and Dutch books without permission. Yamamoto explained he had been copying the books partly because of "my great passion for learning." Also, he said, Japanese scientists need the books. "They are poor and they missed out on a lot of scientific developments during the war," Yamamoto said. "They must catch up, but they can't afford to buy the expensive American editions." Copies Technical Books He has been copying the technical books and encyclopedias of eight leading publishers. They include Interscience Publications, Inc., McGraw-Hill, John Wiley and Sons, Academic Press and Merck and Co. of the United States. The publishers found it especially annoying because the copies Yamamoto made were so good. He sold them at about 10 per cent of the authorized price. Yamamoto's method was to have them photographed page by page and printed from photo-offset plates. Even title pages which said "Copyright in U.S.A." and "Printed in the U.S.A." were faithfully reproduced. Racket Investigated Dr. Maurits Dekker, president of Interscience Publishers of New York City, flew here in behalf of his own and other American companies to investigate and end the racket. He found that Yamamoto, a 35-year-old commercial school graduate, was specializing in such high-technical fields as micrometrics, chromatography, fractional distillation and the nucleic acids. He said the Japanese copies were so good that his own printing superintendent asked for technical details of the Japanese printing methods. Yamamoto's latest project was to reprint the "Encyclopaedia of Chemical Technology" which Dekker's company is publishing. The firm has put out the first 13 of 15 planned volumes. When Dekker got here 10 days ago Yamamoto was already up to volume eight. BEAUTY BY THE DOZEN the world's contestants for at Long Beach.

From early childhood he had ridden, and his spirited mustang provided not only transportation but also entertainment and a way of life. From dawn "til sunset a "patron" rode his rancho attending to business. In times of "fiesta," a popular sport was horse racing, and large sums of money were wagered on each race. Horsemen of that day were so skillful they could easily pick a coin or handkerchief from the ground while riding at full gallop. All work possible was done on horseback. Even firewood for the rancho was lassoed and dragged to the door this way. The horse was a way of life on early Rancho Palos Verdes and it is a part of life there today. For in the ravines and on the crests of rolling hills, modern horsemen and hikers find trails to follow and enjoy. Now as new homes, both large and small, are built on the rancho, it is planned that these trails be preserved for the enjoyment of all who come to live here.
