Electronic Brain To Operate Torpedoes Washington - (facience serv ice) - An electronic brain will guide submarine-launched tor pedoes towards their prey. The first Polaris-launching submarine, USS George Wash ington, soon will be equipped with Mark 112, a torpeao lire control system that has a com puter using radar and- sonar sensing devices. Developed by Sperry Gyro scope company of Great Neck, N. Y., Mark 112 will" instantr ly determine an enemy ship's position, direction, and speed, and then aim the torpedo. When the torpedo nears the enemy vessel Mark 112 acti vates its "acoustical head," enabling the torpedo to seek out the prey. All the operator must do is to push the right buttons. A combat soldier's daily ra tion of food weighs about 5 pounds. By contrast that of an average civilian weighs on ly 3 pounds. on the average of every 8.5 seconds.

In contrast to the usual four to five year maturing period needed in their native New England waters, clams raised off the Florida gulf grew to eating size in 16 months. The clams, moved when they were about the size of rice grains, need to be pro tected against predators, Dr. R. W. Menzel of the Florida State University's Oceano graphic Institute warned. "This is a factor that I feel is not insurmountable," he told scientists at the National Shellfisheries asso c i a t i o n meeting here. "The agricul turist on land has overcome insect damage through ad vances in research and tech n o 1 o g y. Predation perhaps could be controlled by sev eral methods.' Screening, se lection of "planting" sites and possible chemicals were men tioned as promising methods. Death by lethal gas is the form prescribed for capital punishment in eight of the states.

The losses stretched the Senators' losing streak to 16 games- two short of their club record and four shy of a league mark shared by three teams. With 52 games left, the White Sox can reach the 92 victory mark by winning 30 games and losing 22 for a .577 pace. The second-place Cleve land Indians then would have to go at a .640 pace to tie. The New York Yankees. A mere 42 out 52 or. .808 would be enough to tie. No Break in NL There's no sign of a major break in the National league where the San Francisco Gi ants retained their half-game lead with a 5-3 win over Pitts burgh Sunday. The Los An geles Dodgers moved back into second with a 4-3 decision over the Philadelphia Braves and the Milwaukee Braves are only a game behind San Fran cisco despite their split with the St. Louis Cardinals.
