Motors Designed For Automation Bufalo. N.Y. 'W The Westinghouse Electric Corp. has introduced a new line of direct current motors and generators designed for auto mation. The new motors, according to Thomas Turner, vice-president in charge of the Westing house motor and control di vision, provide "dependabil ity and performance charac teristics which will spur the development of further auto mation processes." Turner said one of the most significant features was the new motor's silicone insula tion. "Accelerated life tests show that this new DC motor insu lation system will last at least 10 times as long as ordinary insulation under any temper ature conditions," he pointed out. "This gives the user re duced maintenance, for with it he can keep production go ing through many emergen cies that would otherwise cause breakdowns or very short motor life." Whilt silicone has been used in the past on cusom-built motors and special purpose lines such as mill motors, this is the first time silicone in sulation has been used on standard general-purpose DC motors. j "'" sg.-kL'- 1 PARSONS CHOICE USED CARS AUTO BUY DAY VALUES 1955 Mercury 4 Dr. 9 Pass.

FARNSWORTH United Fresi Correspondent New York " Invisible sound waves are being must ered now in the daily wcr against dirty dishes. Performing like suds in hot water, sound waves, pitched too high for the human ear to detect, scour unscraped dishes, pots and pans at the touch of a button. And they perform in a fraction of the time required by convention al dishwashing machines. The sound waves are put to work by Acoustica Associates Inc., of Culver City, Calif., in a machine which the firm says may be available com mercially within a year.

Wall-to-wall heating is promised by a Waltham, Mass., firm which has come out with a combined curtain wall panel and electric ra diant heating unit. Bettinger Corp. says its panel is a sand wich consisting of two steel panels with an asbestos honeycomb core. The heating element is fused on to the in ner panel. The company says heat rays are directed from the panel over a 160-degree range and heat the room rapidly. Another innovation in heat ing was devised by British electrical engineers and in volves an electrically heated carpet underlay from which a connection can be plugged into the wall like an electric blanket. A newly formed company, Thermalay, Ltd., of Yorkshire, says the carpet is designed to give a floor temp erature of 70 to 75 degrees (F.). It is said to cost the equivalent of a cent an hour to heat an average living room with the carpet.

That meant, in other words, that it almost certainly was an H-weapon. Macmillan told the House of Commons that scientific meas urements are being collected for accurate evaluation, "but early indications are that the fallout will be negligible. The test was in the megaton range." It was the first western nu clear explosion since Russia made an announcement it was conditionally halting its own nuclear tests. 2 ARRIVING in New York, ex Queen Soraya of Iran plans lengthy vacation after being divorced by Shah for failing to provide heir.

Is That So? By EUGENI BURNS Raitger-Naturalist Is it true that the dominanx rule among wild animals is the "law of tooth and claw, "survival of the fittest?" Not wholly. Certainly there is plenty of killing, mainly for purposes of food and self-protection. But there is also a surpris ingly strong drive toward co operative behavior, too. A sort of natural, nonconscious working together between the species. Recent experiment show that benefits come from some crowding not overcrowd ing while isolation appears to be fatal. In larger colonies of her ring gulls, courtship activities, egg-laying and hatching pro cess are faster than in '.he smaller colonies. The result is more young gulls survive than in the smaller colonies. Among larger animals, those living in herds tend to show greater size, reaction, speed and general survival ability than the same type that are isolated. Apparently, they unconsciously know the advantage in co-operation. This cooperative principle exists even between the lion and the antelope on which it preys. A young lion, just learning to hunt, will some times kill more than it can eat. Adult lions, however, are noted for killing only enough to satisfy their hunger. The predator evidently knows if he kills more than he needs he is injuring himself. And for that reason lions liave often been seen in the com pany of animals on which they feed..', ' In short, there is plenty of evidence . that cooperation among 'animals is a stronger, more widely observed law than that of the tooth and claw. A lesson, perhaps, that man would do well to ponder.
