COMPLACENCY A DANGER
By TERENCE DOWNEY
Melbourne, Apr. 11.
Australia, with already booming economy, is on the verge of a great expansion of wealth and resources, according to confident predictions by some outstanding national figures. Leaders in the fields of science, government, business and labour are almost unanimous in making optimistic forecasts.
But, practical men as well as visionaries, they have metaphorically charted the rocks strewn along the course of progress.
Australia, they say, is a coun- try bursting of the scams with natural wealth, much of it newly - discovered. Her basic heavy industries are developing muscles, and science is beginning to help her great primary in- dustries to achieve new heights If not propaid a booking fee of production. But they add this warning Australians must avoid complacency and must educate acientists, management and tech- nicians le malte the most of the developing resources.

Berlin, Apr. 11.

Collectors of everything, from railway in- spectors' collar badges to pictures of flying saucers, anything which has the remotest connec- tion with traffic or travel, have recently formed a · thriving club in West Berlin.
They meet regularly in the backroom of a small public house in the suburb of Neukgelln to compare their finds, arrange "swops" and even exchange collections.
