MAKES HUMANS LOOK SILLY
New Wizard Brain Gets
Answers in Fraction of Time
By PAUL F. ELLIS
Cambridge, Mass., Sept. 14 (U.R) Harvard university today in
troduced a new electronic brain, its "fastest and smartest."
The new "wizard" is known as Mark III, and is two times faster
than its companion, Mark II. It can solve mathematical prob
lems in a fraction of a second whereas a human being would
require days, years or perhaps?-
centuries to work out the same
problem.
Harvard scientists showd the
new "brain" to a gathering of
scientists who opened a four
day symposium here on elec
tronic and mechanical compu
ting machines.
The Mark III combines both
electronics and mechanics in its
operation. It has a new type
"memory" system that is capa
ble of storing 64,000 digets and
leading the computing part of
the machine through a complex
mathematical problem of 4,000
steps.
The scientists said the memo
ry system consists of eight stor
age drums and a sequencing
drum.
In all, the new machine
weighs ten tons. It is about 30
feet long and 15 feet wide.
Problems to be solved are
fed, or punched, on a magnetic
tape to the sequencing drum
which in turn "commands" the
computing section to acomplish
the desired operations with the
numbers in the storage drum.
The results, the scientists ex
plained, then come out of the
machine on another magnetic
tape.
The nine drums are busy
places. They can receive more
than 4,000 lfi-digit numbers,
plus 4,000 "commands" for car
rying out the various operations
of the machine. Of course, a
human brain unconsciously
probably gives out more than
4,000 commands during any 24
hours.
However, the computing sec
tions of the machine that car
ries out the commands can mul
tiply two 16-digit numbers in
a fraction over twelve-thou-sandsths
of a second.
Try that on your human brain.
It can also add these figures
in one-third that time.
The Mark III still has another
feature. It has a specially de-

Labor Reports
Quiet in Linn
Lebanon A static situation
in Job opportunities prevailed
during the past month in the
eastern Linn county area, re
ports the Lebanon office of the
state employment service.
Most logging and sawmill
establishments in the area main
tained steady operations during
the month but no sign of accel
erated production was in evi
dence. Low turnover in per
sonnel was partially responsible
for the lack of openings received
through the local office.
The harvesting of snap beans
was the principal farm labor
activity during the month and
provided 1800 persons with em
ployment at the peak of the
harvest. This harvest was vir
tually completed on September
10 and demand for seasonal
farm workers is rapidly decreas
ing. The unemployment estimate
for the end of August for the
Lebanon-Sweet Home area was
placed at 750. This is a de
crease of 115 from the July
total and is based to a large ex
tent on the drop of 240 in the
number of those claiming ben
efits the last week in August, as
compared with the July figure.
From some quarters the opin
ion exists that lumber market
conditions have leveled off but
employers continue to be reluc
tant to forecast future lumber
market developments.
Vaneks Take Lease
Over Liberty Store
Liberty Mr. and Mrs. Joe
Vanek have assumed the lease of
the Liberty store from Mr. and
Mrs. Edwin Just, and took over
the managing of it Monday.
Mr. and Mrs. Vanek and fam
ily moved here three and a half
years ago from Milwaukee, Wis.,
and have lived in this commun
ity ever since. The Vanek fam-
signed "coding box" that speeds
up the process of translating
mathematical symbols and op
erations Into a "language" the
machine can use.
The new brain was built for

Strike Settled
Seattle, Sept. 14 U. Strik-i
ing CIO warehousemen today
voted to return to work at the 1
Washington state liquor ware- j
house after state officials agreed
not to discriminate against:
workers who participated in the j
walkout.
William Gettings, regional i
chief of the International Long-1
shoremen's and Warehouse-1
men's union, said the men
would return to their jobs to
day.
"A union committee and rep
resentatives of the state liquor
control board will meet and at
tempt to work out all griev
ances," Gettings said.
Announcement of the seven
day walkout came as liquor
supplies throughout Seattle
were rapidly dwindling.
The warehouse employee.!
went out on strike when the li
quor board discharged a senior
employee.
The state liquor board had
hired 10 non-union men to un
load railroad cars at the ware
house, but was unable to find
any solution for the redistribu
tion oroblem.
