Metal 'Brain9 Uses Electrical
Juice to Solve Giant Equations
By Herb Altschull
PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 21-iVPicture, if you can, a machine do
ing your thinking for you.
It sounds like something out of Buck Rogers.
But two Philadelphia scientists can see nothing extrordinary in
an intricate network of wires, vacuum tubes, coils and electronic de
vices that use electrical impulses to add, subtract, play chess and
even write music.
Details of such -a giant brain
were made public today. In matter-of-fact
tones, 30-year-old J.
Presper Eckert, jr., one of its in
ventors, told reporters:
"Machines now do most of our
manual labor. Why can't we have
machines that do complicated men
tal problems? Why can't we dev
elop machines that will think?"
Memory t'nlt Key
His machine goes a long way
toward that end. Its key part is a
memory unit, mercury-filled tubes
that store as many as 512 num
bers translated into electrical
impulses and use them in all
kinds of mathematical exercises.
Eckert and Co-inventor John W.
Mauchly, 42, call the machine
Binac because it is an automatic
computer that used the Binary
numbering system.
At a demonstration for reporters,
Binac solved Poisson's equation, a
difficult engineering problem, 26
times in two hours. For each solu
tion, the machine did 500.000 ad
ditions and 200,000 multiplications.
One man working with an adding
machine would have worked years
to do the same job.
Second Such Device
Binac is the second such device
to be produced by the Eckert-
Mauchly Computer corp. The first .
known as the Enlac, was designed

blems during World War Two. It

Eriiac was the first all-electronic
automatic computer ever built. It
weighs 30 tons, cost $500,000. Bin
ac weighs less than one ton and
the inventors say it is faster, more
accurate and more versatile than
Eniac.
Eckert and Mauchly now are at
work on what they consider their
masterpiece, the Univac. This ma
chine will be on the market next
year and Uncle Sam will use it to
computing 1950 census data.
Eckert said it's not correct right
now to say his machines actually
thinks. They simply follow orders.
But in time?
'We don't know that it's impos
sible for them to think," Eckert
said.

Board Hopes to
Tell Portland
Site Tuesday
Board of control members said
Sunday they were hopeful that
definite announcement could be
made Tuesday as to the location
of the proposed new $2,500,000
state office building in Portland
and selection of an architect.
At a recent two-hour execu
tive meeting of the board the
three members were unable to
agree on an architect but an
nounced that the list of eligible
had been reduced from approxi
mately 30 to 13. They would not
comment as to whether a site
for the 'structure had been deter
mined. Out of approximately 25 pros- j
pective sites submitter! onlv sivl
are under consideration, board
members said. Options to pur
chase these properties have been
obtained by the board. A report
that two members of the board
favored an east Portland location
for the building could not be con
firmed. Board Secretary Roy Mills pre
dicted it would reauire from four
to six months after the site is
purchased and the architect em
ployed to start actual construc
tion operations. Money for con
struction and purchase of the site
will be borrowed from state ac
count and be repaid on a rental
basis.
Construction of a state office
; building in Portland has been un
der consideration by three boards
of control. Officials here said the
state is now paviti? approximately
$12,000 a month for housing state
offices in the Portland area.

Thm Statmon Solm. Oregon,
Sen. Lucas Threatens to Hold J
Congress 'Until Thanlisgiing j
Day' to Pass Major Legislation
By Edwin B. IIsaHnson
"t WASHINGTON, Aug. 21-0P)-Senate Democratic Leader Lu?as
(111), grimly threatened today to keep congrcts in session until Thanks
giving day, if necessary, to dispose of important legislation. '
Lucas spoke out as the lawmakers especially the senate wrestl
ed with perhaps the biggest jam on money bills in history. - ?
Senator McKellar (D-Tenn), a member of congress for 38 years.
said the tie-up of measures ln-q
volving nearly $30,000,000,000, in
appropriations is the worst he call
recall.
This stalemate, plus a growing
pile of so-called "must legislation'
has dimmed prospects for a r,ecess
in the near future.
Reviewing work of the 81st con
gress in its first session, Lucas and
House Speaker Sam Ray burn (D
Tex) expressed belief in a radio
broadcast (ABC) today that the
legislators eventually will enact all
major proposals this year or next.
Not Recess Soon
,But as for prospects of a recess
in the near future, Lucas said:
"There are many important bills
which must be brought up for ac
tion before we can ake a rest
and we are not going to close up
the doors of congress until we
have reached decisions on these
vital issues, even if we have to
stay in Washington until Thanks
giving time."
Among major pieces of legisla
tion besides money bills on
which Lucas said he believes con
gress will act this session are the
reciprocal trade agreements bill,
minimum wage, basing point,
higher executive pay, higher mili
tary oay and a farm pric support
measure.
Hopes Lucas Wrong
McKellar, who ,is chairman of
the senate appropriations commit
tee, expressed hope of a reporter
that Lucas is wrong about stag
ing in session until Thanksgiving
day, but added:
"We certainly have got to find
some way to finish up these ap
propriations. It's getting very em
barrassing." Some other legislative leaders
differed with Lucas on prospects
Of quitting, however. Rep. Sabnth
(D-Ill), who appeared on another
radio program with the senate
leader (WCFL, Chicago), said he
believes "we will get out of here
sometime around the first of Sep
tember." Spring Barley
Harvest Starts
Harvest of spring barley is now
underway with yields reported
"quite good" by most of those who
have harvested.
Supplies of barley from present
indications will total 345 million
bushels this season in a national
count. This, however, is 25 mil
lion bushels Jes than the 1948-49
production. The largest carry
over stocks since 1943 do not make
up for the sharp drop in produc
tion which in July was indicated
to be the smallest since 1937. The
drop in production is due mainly
to reduced acreage since yield pwi:
acre this year, estimated at 24.4
bushels, is .4 bushels above aver
age, the USDA reports show.

Egg Output in;
Oregon Drops!
Seasonally
Oregon egg production dropped
seasonally from an estimatedW39
million eggs produced during June
to 35 million eggs in July, the crop
reporting service said Saturday.
It is also 3 million eggs below the
five-year (1944-48) July average
of 38 million eggs.
The rate of lay, which has been
relatively high this season, aver
aged 16.3 eggs per layer during
July. This rate is approximately
the same as a year ago and has
not been exceeded by any year-in
record. ;
The price of the average Oregon
poultry ration has shown only
minor changes since the firstof
the year. ,On January 15, th av
erage price was $4.18 per 100
pounds and $4.19 by mid-July.
During the last year the price of
eggs dropped correspondingly less
than feed prices. Producer egg
prices averaged 56 cents a doien
at mid-July compared to 58. cents
a year ago which results in more
favorable egg-feed price ' ration
this year than last year. !. t
Oregon hatcheries produced: 25
per cent more chicks this year dur
ing the first seven months than
for the corresponding hatch of a,
year ago.
