Mechanical
Brain Perfected
Manchester, Eng., June 11 W)
A mechanical brain that may
"eventually compete on equal
terms" with the human mind
has been developed at Manches
ter university.
H may even compose poetry.
lays Mathematician A. W. Tur
ing, who is testing its thinking
powers.
Discussing robot brains In
general, the university's prof,
Geoffrey Jefferson, said Thurs
day he doubts one will ever
compose a sonnet or a concerto
He told the Royal' College of
Surgeons a machine with
enough artificial brain cells for
that would have to be as big as
the Empire State building. It
would take the power of a Ni
agara falls to run it, Jefferson
added
But Turing says no one can
tell yet how smart this new
thinking machine may be.
"It may take years before we
settle down to the possibilities,"
he said, "but I do not see why
it should not enter any one of
the fields normally covered by
the human Intellect, and even
tually compete on equal terms."
Turing kept secret the actual
operating principle of the ma
chine. The apparatus consists of
complex rows of electrical un
its, a tangle of wires and panels
of bulbs, tubes and valves.

rcil and eight other men, li ready
for a session Monday night that,
it is predicted, will go to the
midnight hour.
The budget meeting will be
preceded by the regular city
council meeting. The council
agenda includes a couple of
public hearings on zoning ques
tions, which may or may not
take up a lot of the council's
time.
A resolution will propose de
control of rents in Salem. This
Is being introduced on petiton
of the Salem Property Owners'
association and the Salem Real
ty board. Should the council
adopt it the measure would go
to a public hearing on 10 days'
notice. Then it would go to
Governor McKay and from him
to the rent expediter In Wash
ington.
How much time the budget
will take is a guess. The com
mittee will hear a report from
the sub-committee on salaries.
The committee declines to make
public In advance its findings,
but has hinted that no drastic
changes from the original bud
get will be recommended. How
ever, it Is expected the report
will start an argument.
The occupational tax bill,
which will be instroduced Mon
day night, or at a later meeting,
will cover In Its purpose the
financing of off-street parking.
Not only will it provide for a
tax on merchants, ranging from
$10 to $100 a year, but many
other occupations will be reach
ed. Including the professions and
industrial establishments.

Air Assault
On Mosquitoes
An air Invasion of the strong
holds of Salem mosquitoes was
under way Saturday by arrang
ment of City Manager J. L
Franzen with the Ace Flying
Service.
The attack on insects is cen
tered on Willamette slough, but
is also extending a mile up the
river and into the Odd Fellows
cemetery, now known as Pio
neer cemetery.
Last year the mosquitoes were
attacked by the hand method.
But that was too slow and not
very effective. Also there was
a larger area to cover for the
reason that some stagnant pools
had been left In the north part
of the city. This year those spots
are dry.
The reason for spraying the
cemetery is that receptacles
containing water have been left
about the plot and are breeding
places for the insects.
The spray being used Is known
as Vapatone, which has, an oil
base and contains DDT. It Is
not detrimental to clothing,
which has been a matter of some
worry to persons living nearby
The pilots who did the spray
ing were Dick Poet and Bob
Morris. Ace Demers, operator
of the flying service, sent In a
spraying plane from the moun
tains where he is doing a forest
spraying service, according to
Mrs. Demers, who Is operating
the dusting service out of Sa
lem. Cleveland Pitcher

Chen Cheng Appeals for
American Aid
Taipeh. Formosa, June 11 U.S
alist governer of Formosa, appealed today for American aid to
help him build up this island s delenses and democracy.
He said in an exclusive interview that he had made up his mind
to defend the island, 123 miles off the China coast, against pos
sible Chinese communist attack.
"But we will need help," heimosa tne tl,ie to whch must
said. "The country that may and
can help us is the United States.
We welcome American aid but if
it is not forthcoming, I am de
termined to defend Formosa
without it."
Two-told Assignment
Chen, former nationalist chief
of staff and a close associate of
Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek
said his new assignment was two
fold to defend the island while
developing its economy and pro

transfer $54,000,000 in American
ECA funds from the mainland to
Formosa to develop agriculture,
electric power, transportation
and communications.
Nationalist leaders say they

efficient democracy to combat

'Died Twice' But
Still Living
Baltimore, June 11 Wi The
story of a man who "died" twice
on the operating table and came
back to life both times after a
surgeon massaged his heart was
told here today.
Physicians said the 49-vear-
old patient's heart" and respira
tion stopped for 20 minutes at
one time and nine at another.
The man, James W. Staneck,
entered Maryland general hos
pital for a hernia operation on
Wednesday.
This is the story of what fol
lowed as told by Dr. Joseph V.
Casta gna:
Stanek, a printer, was given
the customary pre - operative
physical checkup and his heart
and lungs were reported in nor
mal condition.
He was given a commonly
used anesthetic and shortly af
terwards his breathing stopped,
as did his heartbeat.
Dr. Castagna made an inci
sion in the chest and began
gently massaging the heart.
"According to all the rules,"
the doctor said, "this man was
dead."
Twenty minutes after the
heart stopped it began to re-
spond under the massage. Then,
