Moon scrape?
FAYETTEVILLE, N. C — What appears to be an eerie moon-scape is actually earth
moving machinery operating at night under huge floodlights on construction of the Inter
state 95 bypass east of here, near N. C. 24. The powerful, generator-powered lights provide
brilliant illumination and stark shadows on the barren landscape. (AP)

Brazilian coffee
production up
WASHINGTON (AP) - Bra
zilian coffee production will im
prove this year, but this will
have no immediate effect on
steadily rising coffee prices in
the United States, the Agricul
ture Department says.
Retail coffee prices in the
United States have tripled since
a 1975 frost cut into the Brazil
ian coffee crop. Prices have
risen to well over $3 a pound in
most areas. Retail prices still
lag behind wholesale levels,
which are near $5 a pound.
U.S. domestic prices for at
least the next six months should
be determined by the amount
processors pay now on the
world market.
The effect after that would
probably depend on whether the

Phone competition
consumer issue
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP)—
Congress “now realizes it faces
a major consumer issue” in the
Federal Communications Com
mission’s program to introduce
so-called competition in tele
communications service, an In
dependent Telephone Associ
ation meeting was told Thurs
day.
J. Philip Bigley, First Vice
President of the U.S. Independ
ent Telephone Association,
spoke at the Southeastern Tele
phone Showcase at the Bir

ter. He is president of the Vi

A few minutes later, six Sea
World workers “snuck up be

Brazilian government lowers its
export tax — which determines
the world market price of
Brazilian coffee.
The department said Wednes
day it was basing its prediction
of a better Brazilian coffee crop
on a visit by several experts to
coffee production zones in the
Latin American country.
Officials said the coffee crop
is expected to move closer to the
levels that existed before the
1975 frost.
But they cautioned that coffee
production in Brazil, the world’s
largest coffee producer, will not
return to prefrost levels until
the 1978-79 crop year.
Worker falls
TOCCOA, Ga. (AP) - A
South Carolina man working on
a railroad trestle feU 160 feet to
his death Wednesday, Stephens
County authorities said.
The victim was identified as
J.W. Marbley, 38, of Union
County, S.C.
He was an employe of the
Southern Railroad.
Document is not final draft
of Declaration of Independence
BOSTON (AP) — A document
found in a Boston attic and
thought to be the long lost final
draft of the Declaration of In
dependence quill-penned by
Thomas Jefferson is instead an
1829 steel engraving.
The verdict comes from docu
ment experts, but the Rev.
James Allen, who revealed the
document’s existence last De
cember, says he still believes he
has the last draft.
The Rev. Mr. Allen had pre
sented the document — which
he believed was half of the dec
laration’s final draft — as a Bi
centennial gift to the nation.
He said a friend had found it
in an attic and given it to him.
But according to document
experts, the minister’s find is
actually an engraving by
equipment and non-telephone
companies to operate private
long distance networks for the
use of business firms. Legisla
tion is pending in Congress call
ing for a determination of public
interest in these FCC decisions.
Bigley noted that the tele
phone industry contends it can
successfully meet competition,
but to do so the companies must
change methods of pricing so
that each type of customer will
be charged according to actual
costs. This means higher rates
for residential and small
business users, Bigley pointed
out.
More than 3,000 telephone ex
ecutives are attending the tele
communications meeting and
exhibit, which is in its third and
final day.
that started Saturday after it
was learned that three alliga
tors had wandered away
through a gate inadvertently
left ajar.
A spokesman at the amuse
ment park said the escapees
were kept under surveillance
and “nobody was worried”
about them.

Charles Toppan, a Philadelphia
engraver whose firm engraved
the first U.S. postage stamps.
“If it’s a Toppan, it’s still very
valuable,” the Rev. Mr. Allen
said in a telephone interview
Wednesday. “But I still think
it’s the original.”
Since December, the minister
of the historical First Parish
Church in Boston’s Dorchester
section has taken the document
to Delaware and Philadelphia,
where experts concluded it was
an engraving.
The Rev. Mr. Allen’s son,
Herbert, a Navy doctor, said
paper conservators had ex
plained that a Toppan engrav
ing was made by “etching out
steel, overlaying it with ink and
impressing it on paper, so the
document really is ink and it
looks like pen and ink.”
The minister, whose church
was founded in 1630, said his
