ed pig-faced monkeys, to run up
and bring down what he wanted
and it worked very well. He
probablv used a lead to direct
them here or there, I suppose."
Sir George, who is 63, but has
the vigor and animation of a far
younger man, gesticulated.
"You see," he said, "the com
bination of the hand and eye is
an extremely valuable one.
Monkeys have it. Its use has
serious possibilities."
"Do you mean you would
train monkeys to do monotonous
factory jobs now tying down hu
mans?" "Well," said Sir George, "I did
consider factory work for them
but I don't think now that I
would put them where things are
mechanized. Rather I would use
Vandals Damage
Senate Painting
Washington (UR)-A vandal
scarred one of the Senate's most
famous paintings last spring
The Battle of Lake Erie and
left an enormous repair job.
The Battle of Lake Erie is no
ordinary painting, but a giant
oil, 20 feet high and 30 feet
long. It hangs over the marble
staircase leading to the Senate
gallery.
The paintnig depicts Commo
dore Oliver Hazard Perry and a
cabin boy being rowed in an
open boat from the commodore's
disabled flagship "Lawrence" to
the brig "Niagara." It is a cru
cial moment in the 1813 battle
that swept the British from the
Great Lakes.
It was immediately after this
battle that Perry sent he mes
sage that has thrilled Americans
for more than a century:
"We have met the enemy and
they are ours."
No one yet knows how the
painting was damaged.
POLICE ON THE JOB
Nashville, Term. (U.R) State
Agriculture Commissioner Bu-
ford Ellington today praised the
Tennessee Highway Patrol for
"being on the job." An automo
bile in which Ellington was a
passenger was stopped by police
in a radar speed net and the
driver was fined $13.50 for
speeding.

them for jobs that are difficult
to do mechanically.! think you'll
find them much cheaper.
"I'm talking, of course, of
monkeys," he went on. "Its a
hard job to train gorillas. They're
awful fiery brutes, you know.
But monkeys could do light jobs,
stuff too dull for a man."
Book Planned
Sir George paused and stared
ahead as though looking into the
future. In fact he has already
looked far ahead in a provocative
and eagerly awaited book, "The
Foreseeable Future," which will
be published in Britain and the
United States in the fall. He said
he has touched on monkey labor
in the book but had elaborated
his ideas since.
"Many routine things can be
done by machines," he said. "But
there are things which while ap
parently the same are really dif
ferent. Such as picking apples.
Each apple is different, you see."
He pointed out that monkeys
breed fairly rapidly.
"We'd have to go at it care
fully, pick the best breeds, prob
ably the pig-faced such as the
way we've bred domestic ani
mals. Using monkeys for light
labor apparently would not be
difficult if anybody took the
trouble to do it."
And Sir George departed leav
ing me with many thoughts
a future executive phoning his
wife to say he was being kept
downtown by monkey business,
and monkeys on strike for more
nuts and bananas.
