Washington (U.R) The time
may come when the busy little
electron will take over control
of your car in moments of peril.
"There is no reason technical

M. O'Bryan said today,
O'Bryan of Sylvania Electric
Products, Inc., is one of 1000 en
gineers attending the first an
nual meeting on electron devices
here. The meeting is sponsored
by the Institute of Radio Engi
neers. On radar-posted highways the
electron already is snitching on
speeders to traffic cops. O'Bryan
predicted in an interview that
electronic safety controls of the
future may actually take over
som.e functions of the driver.

Such gadgets, he suggested,
might automatically slow the
car when it approached too close
to the one ahead. Scanning de

patrolmen.
By twisting a dial or moving
a small lever the cop would
transmit electronic orders which
would activate automatic equip
ment forcing a speeding auto
mobile to slow down.
Before that comes to pass,
however, O'Bryan expects to see
electronic warning devices per

driver's control but will tell him
quickly when he'd better go
into action with the wheel or

The bigTiews at the meeting
here, according to O'Bryan and
others, has to do with develop
ments in the field of microwave
tubes and in so-called solid state
electronics. .
Microwave developments have
made it possible, for example, to
amplify a thousand or more
telephone conversations and
several television programs sim
ultaneously without confusion.
They permit scientists to ob
serve electrical events that take
place in a billionth of a second.
They point to even faster and
more reliable electronic brains
for use in computors, guided

Railroad Spending in
Event of War Figured
. Portland- (U.R) Col. Rob
ert Haynes told the National Re
sources conference here yester
day that American railroads
would have to spend about .five
billion dollars to meet transpor
tation needs in the event of an
other war.
Haynes, a lecturer from the
industrial college of the armed
forces, said the railroads did a
"superb job" in World War II,
but he said they might have
broken down in another year.
The colonel said a recent of
fice of defense mobilization
study indicated that for a three
year wartime buildup, the rail
roads would need 215,000 freight
cars and 11,477 switch engines.
