Ship Control
Automatic by
1960-Forecast
NEW; YORK, Dec. 5-(INS)-By
1960 electronic ' developments in
marine design will usher Ameri
ca's merchant marine fleet Into an
age tof "automatic ships," it was
predicated . at the 25th joint an
nual convention of the Propellor
club and the American Merchant
Marine.
"Automatic control, from bridge
to keel is being sought by marine
engineers not simply for labor
saving or comfort advantages but
for greater efficiency, perform
ance and protection of equip
ment.' explained Maurice R. East
in, transportation manager of the
Minneapolis - Honeywell Regulator
company.
Even today it would be possible,
under Ideal conditions, to sail a
ship from port to port under al
most full robot control, he said.
"A single crew member, sitting
before a specially built control
panel, could supervise the ship's
entire vovaafe." Eastin uiri ex
plaining that such robot controls
as auiomauc navigation devices,
automatic boiler controls and mas
ter controls of nmruilsinn machin
ery have been so highly developed
to make this robot voyage possible.
He cited the wave of new pas
senger and cargo ships recently
added to the American fleet as
examples of the development of
automatic control.
Savings, Loan
Firms Likely
To Be Double
MIAMI BEACH, Fla.-)-5av-ingyand
loan associations can ex
pect to double their business from
the present total of nearly $19 bil
lion within the next 10 years, Wal
ter J. L. Ray, president of the Un
ited States Savings and Loan lea
gue, told the organization's recent
convention here.
"Today there are approximately
eight million families with incomes
of $5,000 a year as compared with
only 1,570,000 10 years ago," Ray
said. "In the past decade our total
population Increased by 14.4 per
cent, but individual family units
increased by 25 per cent.
"During the early years of the
past decade, we saw the highest
rate of marriages in history and a
war-baby boom. In another decade
the "war babies will start coming of
marriageable age and we can ex
pect the rate of new family forma
tions to zoom upward to a" new
all-time high."
Speedster Retires
On $11 Per Month
ROME-lAVThe man who gave
Italy her only speed record for the
North Atlantic crossing by ship is
now retired on an $11 a month
pension.
This is the typical pension of
some 20,000 Italian merchant sea
men who sailed the seas for at
least two decades before being re
tired. Francesco Tarbotto, former cap
tain of the uRex" luxury liner,
guided the "Rex" across the ocean
in 1933 In four days 13 hours and
58 minutes breaking the record
held at that time by the German
transatlantic liner, Bremen.
Light Bulb Eater
Pays Off a Debt
In London Street
LONDON, Dec. 8 -(INS)- A
mild-looking little man in a derby
hat stood in the corner of Lon
don's busiest intersection recently
and ate an electric light bulb.
No rush calls were sent to ran-
tic asylums and passers-by in Pic
cadilly Circus were not particular
ly interested. An unimpressed po
liceman merely told Maurice Aid
man to "move along there, please."
for Aiaman, a professional
sword-awallower and glas seater,
was simply paying off an election
bet. He explained:
"I was so sure the Labor Gov
ernment would stay in power, I
promised to eat an electric liiht
bulb in Piccadilly Circus If they
lost."
This, Aldman admitted, was no
hardship. He said he chews up
"plate glass and cups and saucers
and things like that" twice nightly
in his act.
