(UPI Telephoto) 100,000 Messages On Memory Drum Owego, N. Y. - (Science Service) - Engineers here can put 100,000 bits of informa tion on a stainless steel mem ory drum only three Inches long and three inches In di ameter. The drum weighs only six ounces. Its lightness and smallness make it excellent for use in airborne or satellite comput ers, the developers at Inter national Business Machines Corporation's federal systems division laboratory here re port. The drum, a thin steel shell, pins at 6,000 revolutions a minute within a lightweight frame. Magnetic pickup and ' recording heads are Imbedded on the frame. These record or play back Information while riding on a cushion of air 100-millionths of an Inch away from the drum. Severe vibrations will not jostle the heads into or too far from the drum, IBM en gineers say. The drum and its assembly weigh eight pounds. Conventional drum assemblies weigh about 235 pounds.

By EDWIN EMERY (Written for United Press International) London - (UPD - American tourists are given a good wel come and friendly help in Europe - probably more than they deserve. After four months of driv ing 10,000 miles through 10 European countries with my wife and daughter, we can cite countless examples of European courtesy, friendli ness and fair-dealing. The number of unhappy incidents we can count on the fingers of one hand. There were the two Ger mans in Saarbrucken - one a former war prisoner - who walked halfway across the city with us to make certain we found the restaurant where friends were dining. There was the Italian youth who rode with us after dark through the twisting streets of Siena to show us to our hotel, then walked back after smilingly refusing a tip. Spoke Greeiingi Friendly waves of hands and spoken greetings from the roadside have followed us through Germany, Switzer land, Austria, Italy, Spain, France, Belgium, Holland, Great Britain and Ireland. We are strangers, with round export plates on our Volks wagen, and that is enough to gain a friendly smile, even before the "USA" sign can be seen. Language differences are no barrier to friendliness. A group of Germans in a Munich rathskeller "talked" to us with much merriment. They found out their guest was a journalism professor, through painstaking effort, and we found out one had a brother in New York. Little pocket "pharse books," sign language and gestures can go far toward achieving understanding, The tourist who acquires some hotel" and "menu" German, Italian, French or Spanish can make his way without trouble. It is not hard, either, to learn how to compliment the hosts on the good meals or extra service. Showing ap preciation with a phrase in their language works wonders -just as it does at home. Natives Alio Pay Some Americans expect Europeans to "have their hands out" for the reputedly inexhaustible American dol lars. In continental countries where an established 10 to IS per cent service charge is add ed to the bill in lieu of tips, this might be considered to be true - but remember that the natives pay the same extra amount. Driving a car through Europe is very easy. Roar's are good, signs are clear and numerous, traffic is orderly, and the same gas stations with many familiar brand names are available. Parking is near ly always possible on the street outside your hotel. Many Europeans, of course, speak English. It is a common' tongue in Holland, Belfilum and Scandinavia, and fairly widely spoken In other coun tries, particularly by those who deal with tourists. This is fortunate . for language deficient Americans. Europeans have a friendly curiosity about America. They might be vague about the lo cation of a mldweslern state like Minnesota, but they've heard of its Sen. Hubert Humphrey. They know a good deal about American foreign policy, politics and culture. They do not talk too readily about international politics, the war or American short comings unless they are "warmed up" and convinced you are in earnest. Of course, Europeans have stereotyped ideas about Amer ica, but as Americans have about Europe. They ask how we spend our leisure time, for example, with tongue in cheek for their picture of -in American is "a man in a hurry," too hurried to enjoy life. The wife of a French pro fessor, after imploring us not to take offense, said that this was their favorite joke: "An American and his wife are standing in front of the great Notre Dame Cathedral, The man looks at his watch, frowns, turns to his wife and says: 'I'll do the outside and you do the inside. We'll meet here in five minutes and com pare notes'." Some additional tips for travelers who want to be happy in Europe: Learn what each currency is worth in dollars. Use their money, not the dollar bills that some tourists think are "good anywhere.", In fact, some European currencies are stronger than the dollar these days. Don't be an "American" and stay at luxury hotels and drink at American bars if you wish to meet people from other countries. You will only meet somewhat weary Euro peans who have to serve a somewhat demanding clien tele. Remember that there are many tourists from other lands. Half the tourists in Italy come from Germany and Austria. Don't overstock with such items as . cleansing tissues, soap, razor blades, films, cig arettes. Water is good, milk is pasteurized in any ordinary place you" visit. Don't worry unduly about customs regulations and cur- r t n c y problems. Currency controls have been abandoned throughout Western Europe's booming economy; frontiers are as easy and friendly to cross-as the one between the U.S. and Canada. Remember you don't win everytime at home, either. If something costs more than you expect, or you can't get "American coffee" - try again next time. . Don't try to see too much in a short time, know where you are going, and find out in advance what attractions you should see. Read a few guido books and try not to be too ignorant about other peoples' cultural achievements, institu tions and ways of life. Smile if you can't do any thing else - someone will help you out. For Americans, de spite their faults, are liked in Europe if they will let them selves be liked. ; Sheltered Sections Seen in Space Ship Sari Diego, Calif. - (Science Service) - Space travelers way have to squeeze into a tiny, heavily shielded com partment In their space ve hicle while going through the earth's radiation belts and through storms of solar pro tons in space. Such a protective addition I to the operating area of a manned space ship .vas pre dicted this morning by J. W. Keller and N. M. Schaeffer, both of the Convalr Division of General Dynamics in Fort Worth, Tex. They reported a shielding study to the Pacific General meeting of the Amer ican Institute of Electrical Engineers here. The use of a small shielded compartment would eliminate the necessity of heavy shield ing for the larger area in which astronauts will be able to live and work once they are past the radiation belts, provided solar protons are not present in large numbers, as they are about ten times a year. , -os v m aW i m m m m m I m I a-v I 1 1 V Use Weisfield's Simplified Credit V" 3-QT.
