SECTION 1 - PAGE I - PLAlNDEALEtt-WEDNESDAY, MAY If, 1934 National news Attendance down at the World's Fair ByRobGloeter United Press International. NEW ORLEANS - Attendance on the opening day of the $350 million World's Fair was less than expected but fair officials said the figure was in line with the predicted number for an average day. Opening-day paid attendance Saturday was reported at 83,111, close to the 80,000-plus predicted as the gates sprung open amidst fireworks, Jazz bands and balloons. Ina Norman of Houston, who spent KMX) to attend the opening weekend, said the cost "was worth it" and promised she will return this summer. Bin Purvis of New Orleans spent $100 on the 82-acre site itself. "We made the gondola ride, we made the fish and wildlife ride, we had some eats and some drinks and it's magnificent," he said. The multi-million dollar ex- t r a v a g a n z a f e a t u r e s a smorgasbord of entertainment, foreign exhibits and carnival rides along the banks of the Mississippi River. The fair does not offer a cheap afternoon -- admission is $15, food and drinks are expensive, maps cost $2.50 and programs sell for $7. John Secaras of Kenilworth, 111., who was in New Orleans on business and spent $45 during a brief tour of the fair, said "it was interesting, though rather expen­ sive for everything." Many rides and exhibits -- such* as the Vatican Pavilion -- require an additional fee, and boutiques and shops provide other in­ ducements for spending money. Although some pavilions were still incomplete Sunday, most visitors said they had plenty *o see and were not distracted by con­ struction. "This is fantastic," boasted New Orleanian Elnora Hum­ phrey, "and we haven't seen it all yH" Fred Kell of St. Louis was not as enthusiastic, calling the fair "a big carnival, and that's all" -- "I didn't see anything very much educational about it." C e l e b r a n t s , s o m e i n wheelchairs amid baby carriages, streamed into the fair under bright weekend skies. Some adults sought relief from the heat in the Kid Wash, a carwash-like contrap­ tion designed to sprqp water on steamy youngsters. Kem Morgan of Chattanooga, Tenn., who drove more than 850 miles in a day to view the fair, said it has a major advantage over the 1962 exposition in Knox- ville -- the city of New Orleans. "There's definitely more things to do than in Knoxville and if you're looking at it from a tourist standpoint you can hop right over to"the French Quarter," he said. "Knoxville as a city in itself has very little to offer." Computers now put on pressure to pay delinquent IRS bills R«gi--I --wt ' Small firms looking otit of state to relocate By United Press International ST. LOUIS -- The Internal Revenue Service is so pleased with an experimental program in which computers are used to telephone delinquent taxpayers that it is expanding the system to 20 cities. "In addition to a 61 percent decrease in hours spent to collect, we've also increased collections, by 35 percent," said Jacquie S. Harding, chief of the automated collection branch at the agency's St. Louis district office. Since the program was in­ stituted a year ago in St. Lous, she said the IRS has handled about 21,000 cases and collected $48 million in delinquent taxes. * IRS employees handling collec­ tions call a case up on a computer terminal, review the facts and then punch a button directing the computer to dial the delinquent taxpayer's telephone number. The IRSe She said if there is no answer the computer reschedules the call in 30 minutes, and keeps calliAg -- from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. weekdays and from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Saturdays -- until someone answers. She said an IRS office using the system can place as many as 300 calls daily. Harding said most scofflaws seem to expect the call from the IRS, especially those taxpayers who fil­ ed returns but neglected to enclose checks. "What they are surprised about is that we follow up so quickly," she said. If the taxpayer fails to send money by the date promised, the computer calls again. The IRS offices using the automatic calling system will be responsible for certain areas around their cities. The system is to be working by August in Chicago, St. Louis, In- dianaoplis, Nashville, San Fran- ment employee "then requests pay- Cisco, Los Angeles, Manhattan and Newark, New Jersey. By United Press International CHICAGO -- An expected in­ crease in both sales and profits for many northern Illinois businesses this year will not keep some from relocating out-of-state because of what they call Illinois' deteriorating business climate, it was reported. Approximately 30 percent of small firms considering expan­ sion or relocation plan on leaving Illinois, said a survey conducted by Crain's Chicago Business. "Ironically, their consideration of leaving is really a measure of how well things have turned around here in the city and state," said Cart Bufalini, of the North Business and Industrial Council. "Once a business is revitalized and nearing capacity, it looks around to grow. At that point, issues such as taxes, real estate costs, labor costs, politics -- all the things that make up the total economic climate -- become Im­ portant factors driving the deci­ sion of whether to move or ex­ pand, and where." Small business executives in northern Illinois cite workers compensation costs, unemploy­ ment insurance taxes, capricious city inspectors and a poor schools systems as the main reasons for moving, the survey said. The survey also noted that near­ ly two-thirds of small businesses in the Chicago area believe the political bickering between Mayor Harold Washington and the Chicago City Council is hurting the city and contributing to the departure of local businesses. In addition, 38 percent of Chicago businesses considering expansion are thinking about moving from the city to the suburbs, and another 18 percent may leave Illinois. Businessmen complain that state and city efforts to keep small firms are not as aggressive as recruiting by other states. This decline has not been offset For Your Information by businesses moving into Chicago from other states or the suburbs, the survey said. Only 1 percent of expanding or relocating Cook County suburban firms plan to move into the city and none from the collar counties. OMrlrlwHk, How doM on* explain death to a child?

Large families have their ad­ vantages, Kolich said. Her youngest child is 8 years old and the eldest is 30, and 10 of them still live at home. Growing up in aSarge family means "the children are more responsible and better adjusted because they learn to get along," she said. "It gives them a good background for going out into the world.'* Ironically, the Roman Catholic family has so many children that she and her husband, Albert, a pricing analyst for Mobil Oil Co., cannot afford to send the children to Catholic school. But college costs for the family are minimal, she said, because so far the children have spent two years at a commuter college before completing their education viih..t)ii v beip of scholarships, financial ^ part-time ^°Mrs. Kolich does four or five loads of laundry every day and shops for groceries twice a week, first visiting a store only for sale items, especially milk.
