Gutenburg nearly axed woodcuting
Johannes Gutenberg worked on an invention that could have stifed the development of the woodcut, according to Hellmut E. Lehmann-haupt, bibliographic adviser to H. P. Kraus Publishing Co.
In a speech entitled "Gutenberg and the Master of the Playing Cards," Lehmann - haupt called Gutenberg a "kind of Edison because he worked with small inventions but had a master intent." In the middle of the 15th century there was an anonymous artist, known as the Master of the Playing Cards, who was the earliest copper plate engraver and believed to have been employed by Gutenberg.
Lehmann-haupt spoke Friday in the Art Museum at the opening of the Museum's woodcut exhibit.
The copper plates were intended to be molds for casting metal to be used as printing forms, similar to the stereotype printing plates used today, Lehmannhaupt said.
"If Guttenberg had succeeded," Lehmann-haupt said, "woodcuts would not have been used for illustrations in the early days of printing."

New Mexico chaplain, Chicago bargain hunters, topless revue at Wisconsin
SANTA FE, N.M.—(UPI)—The house chaplain for the current session of the New Mexico legislature does a little heavenly lobbying in his opening prayers.
The Rev. Bruce H. Rolstad brought chuckles from the gallery Saturday with his prayer:
"Our Father, we know you have humor and patience. We pray we may have a portion of both before this session is over. Amen."
CHICAGO —(UPI)— The city of Chicago has a real find for bargain hunters—lights worth $30 new and selling; slightly used, for $1.75 apiece.
The city has 77,300 of the lights and storage is a problem. You might call it a warehouse sale. Now, anyone for an old fashioned Chicago street light?
MILWAUKEE, Wis. — (UPI)— The advertisements read: "Dancing girls—topless revue." Hordes of students turned out for the student union sponsored affair at the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee.

The eager patrons found the sign to be truthful, but . . . the dancing girls were fully clothed and the "topless revue" featured men.
