Mechanical Eye Almost Human Dayton, O., May 23 HP) Ger man scientists during world war II developed a television device very similar to the human eye for use in controlling guided mis siles or aircraft, but never put it into use, the air materiel com mand at Wright field disclosed today. Announcement that the device had been de-classified by the AMC indicated that the air force had either made a similar eye super ior to the German product or had discarded the mechanism as un usable. 1 The German-made eye, AMC of ficials said, had units similar to the human eye. It was built into missiles such as bombs and guid ed the missile toward a pre-set target without outside help. ;! Mirror Used , i The "eye," tested and demon strated by the Germans during the war but never, used, used a movable mirror whicli reflected the target to a television . tube. This tube, in turn, transmitted electrical impulses to the missiles' steering device, keeping the mis sile constantly pointed at the tar get. The pilot alligned his target in the television picture in his sight ing mechanism, switched on the bomb's steering device and re leased the bomb. The missile then was on its own. AMC officials explained that the pilot had to be within sight of the target before releasing the eye-guided missile. It was pre sumed, however, that the bomb could be directed to an invisible target by radar. The entire eye, the AMC said, was no bigger than eight inches in diameter and weighed only four pounds. Some were built as small as five inches in diameter.

Babies Disclosed By Unusual Test San Diego. May 23 (tl'i A new, nearly-foolproof method of determining the sex of unborn babies has been developed by a group of local doctors, the San Diego Journal said today In a copyrighted article. Physicians at the Linda Vista Medical Center, who have been experimenting with the method for about six- months, said it has proven correct in 88.6 per cent of the cases. The doctors, Winton B. Ostr, Merrill H. Thayer, Richard E. Bowers and G. M. Clarke, said however, that they are still im proving their system and do not claim perfect results. The Linda Vista-developed sys tem uses as its basis the "Pap anicolaou test" for cancer, which uses a smear and a stain, Clarke said. While working with this tost, he said it was noticed that the test also revealed presence of es trogen or progesterone, which is produced by the ovarys. By making numerous tests, Clarke said, it was found that by determining the amounts of these substances, it was possible to tell whether a woman was carrying a male or female fe tus. Coincidence Noted Clarke said the doctors at the health center should not take all credit for the development. He said most of the work and re search was done by George Tal bott, a 23-year-old laboratory technician. "By coincidence," Clarke said, "the slide shows blue-stained cells if the baby will be a boy and pink-stained estrogen If a girl is to be expected." Full details had been mide available to physicians in the San Diego area, Clarke said. He ad ded that a complete paper on the tests has been completed and NOW SHOWING! iSfeOMTROltH I JJJM'lU.U.Ui Ovoitij mm .

George Chapling, managing ed itor of the Journal, said his pa per had learned of the tests two months ago but had withheld pub lication until it was convinced "it was not just another uncon firmed experiment." He said the paper had called in New York medical writer Al bert Q. Maisel, who researched the story. He in turn completed an article which will appear in the June issue of a national magazine, Chaplin said.
