ABOUT TOWN / Valerie Shimoyama
A spy-proof '>l1venti .. !
mf~
f any two cities have a love/hate
relationship wfWXerrMCorp.,
it's probably Moscow and Wash-
ington. What spy would be caught
without a photocopy machine? Per-
haps one of the least reviled bitf
most guilty villains in recent spy
exposes has been the photocopier.
Admittedly, mimeograph and
other copying machines have been
a great boon to mankind: But if
Secretary of the Navy. John Leh-
man has a favorite dream, it might
be of a paper that cannot be copied.
He need dream no more..It has
been developed by inventors Nor-
man Gardhei;-a Toronto advertiser,
and Michael Voticky, a Montreal
furrier. The paper is spyproof.
May the State Department and
Navy take heed.
There is a small problem. The
paper when first developed was
burgundy-colored and hard to read.
Now they've developed a hot pink
line.
"We don't know how much we
can sell to the government;" says-
Vicky Diede, project manager?fo
Boise Cascade's security paper
division in Portland, Ore., that will
be producing the paper. But one
thing they do know. It would
sell more if it were not hot pink/-
burgundy.
Nevertheless, she adds, "I can
tell you that we've had a tremen-
dous amount of interest because of
the [John A. Walker Jr.] spy case."
