'An Analysis' Today's publication, de scribed as "an analysis' of the Soviet note, took up the Rus sian charges one-by-one and knocked them down by cit ing history and the statements of Russian leaders. The State Department re leased the analysis shortly af ter Soviet Deputy Premier Anastas I. Mikoyan left Wash ington following two days of talks with officials, congress men, businessmen and labor leaders. He left a trail of peace hints. The U. S. said that the So viet Union, during the time 'that Hitler was in power, "not only maintained normal dip lomatic and economic rela tions with Germany but also assisted in building up a new German war machine. The document added that Russia's actions in every re spect "tended to encourage Hitler's military ambitions. The document also blamed Russia for playing a major role in starting the Pacific war. It said that "in April, 1941. the USSR signed a neu trality pact with the Japan ese ally of Hitler, thereby clearing the way for the Pearl Harbor attack on the United States on Dec. 7, 1941." Computer Changes French to English Washington," (Science Serv ice) A business ' machine computer can translate from French to English at a clip of three to four words a sec ond. The IBM 704 goes through a process familiar to thou sands of- language students, but it goes about its business in a most methodical way, Dr. A. F. R Brown of George town university told the American Association for the Advancement of Science here recently. The machine has been promised a 5,000-word dic tionary soon by its operators, but at present it must work from a 600-word "book," Dr. Brown said The computer works on translation in 1,200- word sections First, the ..computer looks up all words, which have been arranged alphabetically so that the machine only goes through the dictionary once. During each look-up, the ma chine exchanges a French word for an item." These are restored to their proper sequence through help of cod ed instructions with each English word. The instructions may alert the computer to idioms or to points of French grammar as sociated, with particular words. Other instructions may tell the 704 where to put adjectives. When all instructions have been met, the English words are sifted out, strung togeth er, and printed as a translated sentence.

Says Sexy The famous diary - now branded part forgery-became public in 1936 during a sen sational custody battle for the daughter born of her second marriage. Miss Astor said the diary's alleged "box score" on her romantic life was a forged addition to the pages of the real'diary, as were the purple passages relating to her well publicized relationship with playwright George S. Kauf man. Reports Erroneous Even reports stating her diary was written in purple ink were erroneous, Miss As tor said. The true color was aztec brown. While pages 163-170 discuss the custody trial and the case of the duplicated diary, the 332-page book tends to give more details about Miss As tor's physical condition than her love affairs. Her affairs began at 17, with John Barrymore, who, she noted, gave her "love, af fection, humor and, above all, beauty." Her physical and mental ag onies were manifested in or occasioned by alcoholism, hatred of her parents, insom inia, cirrhosis of the liver, an overdose of sleeping pills, bronchial pneumonia, lobar pneumonia, a broken leg, painful "female troubles," in cipient tuberculosis, an abor tion, malnutrition, heart trou ble, gall bladder trouble, neu ritis and other assorted' com plaints seeming resulting from anxieties of one kind or another. Credits Conversion Miss Astor credits her con version to Roman Catholic ism in 1940 as the turning point in her life. Her life, once "bizarre, fantastically foolish and unnecessarily mis erable" slowly became a hap pier one because of her new religious training and her ab ility to live her life on a "to day basis." The diary was not allowed as evidence and Miss Astor won custody of her daughter for nine months of the year. In 1952, the diary was de stroyed by court order.
