Wednesday urged that the num ber should be increased to 17, 000. U. S. officials said it might be stretched to 9,000 or 10,000. But they said any decision must come from Washington. 8000 Hungarians have fled across the border into free Aus tria in the past 24 hours, Aust rian police reported today.

Memory Found No Better Joddy tThan Centuries Ago Experts in memory research are finding that one's memory is po better today than that of the Averaga citizen of ancient Creete. In early Greece, before there ware tgwn clerks, and county re coniers to .keep records,-the bus iot man in town was the profes sional "rememberer" who was paid to remember various trans actions and details. Today, too, there are firms which remind tleir customers' of birthdays, an niversaries, business and social arwagements. Psychologists are finding that some people remember better than others and. generally, wom en ramember better than men. $ Uiere have always been persons with amazing memories. Napo leon could remember thousands tof lames and" during battles re ' membered the exa.ct placements ( hundreds of his army's artil- a Prussian historian and-banker, immediately set up from mem ory all 1-800 of his bank's ac- 0 cins aiier xne .DariK Durnea down destroying all records.

James Farlev said at One time he could call StJ.OOO persons by their first name . First Exparimeats A jOcrman scientist, Hermann tbbini,.aus, fh"1885, conducted q the tirst recorded memory ex periments. He found that 40 per 0 cent ol what a person tries to re- W mtnber is forgotten in 20 min ute and 75 per cent forgotten within week. Experiments" to- 0 day prove about the same. Tl most .difficult -things to remember," psychologists find are qumbars. Numbers, they say. are difficult because they lack concrete meaning. A jioted Uni versity of Chicago psychologist Jound in experiments that only the most superidr adults can re peat eight numbers' backwards after hearing the number once. One of th numbers most pe: sons oeiieve mey remember is their social security number. The Social Security administration's experience teas been that account numbers given from memory" are. too often incorrect. Psychologists have some fa vorite rules for remembering numbers, but rather .than-expect everyone to learn and practice such rules the Social Security ad ministration ha issued an ac count number card to each per son who had made an applica tion for social security num ber. Card Shown Social security officials stress that the card be shown to the em ployer whenever an employee begins a new job. It is import ant that the card be checked v.-hen a self-employed person r-.nkes out his social security tax i r.urn. Trusting to memory may result in loss of social security r.age credits, and, in the end, 1-ss of benefits to the worker or s'.f-cmployed person. Incorrect account numbers cre- ate additional expense to the em ployer who must spend time later to get the correct informa tion from the worker's card and then correct his own records. Another important reason for the employer to see the card is that he can be sure that he is recording the correct spelling of the worker's name. If you have lost or misplaced your card, you can get a dupli cate card or change your name if it is incorrect on your present card by writing or visiting your local social security office. Rock V Roll Out For Passengers on Liner Mariposa Los Angeles U.R) Elvis Presley made a rock 'n' roll pop ular with the country's teen agers, but the Matson Navigation Company has introduced a popu lar item that eliminates rock 'n' roll from its ships. It s the new Sperry gyrofins stabilizer , on the U.S.S. Mari posa, a pleasure cruise ship ply mg between the west Coast and Australia. These stabilizers eliminate 90 per cent of the rocking and roll ing of steamships, and practi cally do away with seasickness. The stabilizers were first put into operation with a full pas senger load on the 400-mile trip from San Francisco to Los Ange les when the Mariposa left re cently on the first leg if its trip to Honolulu and Australia. There was practically no evi dence of any sideways motion on the ship, and not a single case of sea-sickness. The "fins" are 14 feet long, seven feet wide and reach -thickness of two feet at the back. Each fins weighs 32 tons and extend from each side of the hull below the water line amidships. Other Changes A gyroscopic "brain" on the bridge measures rate, speed and angle of the seas, automatically enabling the fins to head off any roll or pitch. While the fins are the biggest new item in shipbuilding today, the Mariposa has a few other "firsts" for the West Coast ship ping industry: For the first time, waitresses are being used aboard a ship in the Pacific, although this prac tice has been followed on oc casions in the Atlantic. The hatch covers are hydraul ically operated, opening and closing at the touch of a button, enabling one man to do in a few moments a job which with con ventional hatch covers requires a crew. Every stateroom is wired for television. The air-conditioning unit is to complete that the Mariposa even has special air .conditioning for the dog kennels! And. the beautiiul tropical plant life. aboard the month-old ship already is ceiling high. It was started two years, ago, with a special type of earth in an air conditioned room that contained salt air so it would be accli mated for the ocean journeys. LOOK OUT BELOW! Chicagp (U.R; '"Shooting stars" actually are only about 65 miles high. The typical meteor is burned up by the earth's atmos phere at a height of about 40 miles, according to Franklin J. Meine, editor of the American Peoples Encyclopedia. Meteors fall at speeds ranging up to -43 miles per second.
