OREGON Scientists Perfect Robot To Do Anything: Swing A Golf Club; Make A Too By BILL RAWLINS KNOXVU.LE, Tenn. l Every year manulacturers SDena nuge sums for new machine tools for next year's models. His Inventors say Weary Willie could do the job with last year's tools almost as easily as tuning a radio. How about your golf game? Do you duct your bead at the wrong time or twist your wrists too Boon? Weary Willie can show you precisely how you swing and Just what you do wrong. If you're a busy executive, you can teach Willie to f gn your name on hundreds of routine letters. You needn't worry about him forging checks. Willie can't think. He can only repeat motions taught him. Wearv Willie Is an unphotogenlc robot developed In the University of Tennessee electrical engineer ing deDartment under the dlrec lion of Professors Paul Cromwell Mitchell Blasts At Republicans PORTLAND, Ore. Wl President Eisenhower will have to use strong' er language If ho really expects the Republican party to tone aown Its campaign against Democrats, the Democratic national chairman said here last nleht. "He cannot dissociate himself in a, loftv way from what Is clearly a deliberate campaign line which virtually his entire party leader shiD has adopted." Stephen A. Mitchell told Oregon Democrats at a dinner meeting. Of the press conference yester- day in which the President advised restraint in parusansnip matters, the Democratlo party chairman commented: "He said he had not seen any accusations by members of his par ty charging that Democrats are tinged with treason. "Doesn't he read the papers? Doesn' the listen to the radio? Don't they tell him what his own leaders are saying?" Mitchell made biting references to Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York; Leonard W. Hall, Republi can national chairman; and Secre tary of Commerce Weeks, and said they all had taken part In a cam paign to try to discredit the Dem ocrats' loyalty. He called It "a ballyhoo cam paign of an extraordinarily ruthless and sinister nature a campaign to drill into the public mind a sus picion that the Democratic party is somehow the party of commu nism." In part the tactlo is to divert attention from adverse economic reports Mitchell said, adding that the Republicans would have to ac cept responsibility both for eco nomic conditions and for use of what he said were "unworthy" tactics. "The secretary of commerce Is the very man who has responsibil ity for action yet he has all the Pollyana optimism, all the com placency that the Republicans ex uded last time when 'prosperity was Just around the corner.' Bally hoo is no substitute for leadership," Mitchell said. Safety Deposit Is Not Very Safe BALTIMORE Ml Albert Bruns submitted proof in Common Pleas Court yesterday that he put $10, 000 in his safety deposit box at a Union Trust branch between Nov. 6, 1952, and Feb. 16, 1953. When he returned to the box last June 15, it was empty. Even the tin container inside was gone. Bruns sued the Union Trust Co. But evidence showed the lease con tract Bruns signed for the ' safe deposit box included a stipulation that the bank would not be liable for the loss of any money kept in the box. Bruns is out 410,000. And the bank is out a tin container for a safety deposit box. and C. H. Weaver. John P. De Barber, former Instructor in the department, brought him to his present stage. Willie isn't a mechanical man. He's Just a bunch of radio tubes; a two-channel tape recorder and a revolving cylinder, hooked up to remember mot ons taugni mm uhu repeat them exactly. As the nerve center of a potential mechanical Jack-of-all-trades, he operates this way; Say you want to teacn mm w write your name. You hook him up to your pen ana go uirougii the motions. He "remembers" them. Play the recording back and be signs your name. Conceivably, you could do the same Job with automatic devices now existing on-center wneei ai falrs called cams but first you'd have to figure out what you want ed the cams to do, then design a cam to do it. Automatic operation Isn't new- In chemical lactories as many as SOU separate processes are fully automatic but under system now used each step must be thought out beforehand, Using Willie, a skilled craftsman could DUt a chunk of metal in a lathe and. with Willie remember ing'' his motions, turn out any wanted part. Then Willie could take over to turn out the rest all just like the lirst. Willie can "forget" one motion and be taught a new one simply by erasing the tape recorder. Of course, Deiore you put wiuie to work In the assembly lines you'll need to develop- him further as well as Invent machine tools which Willie can adapt. You'll have to build tools designed to go with him. But it's only a problem in me chanical engineering to get Willie more complex," weaver says. Will Willie take over many jobs men now hold? Weaver says "no." It would merely make en gineers out of more workers and make workers out of more engi neers," he said. But don't count on Willie's sign ing your letters or improving your golf game too soon. Willie, in his present form, costs $200 in part3 alone. A version complicated enough to swing a golf club would cost about $50,000. 1 MRS. IRENE TICE wasn't "roped in" at the davlight break fast at the YMCA Tuesday, but she won a genuine lasso for her record in rounding up the most dogies (dollars) in the recent membership drive. She's shown here receiving the prize from Harrel Creasey. Detroit Jobless Lists Large DETROIT m In Detroit, a "dis- tressed" employment area In gov ernment classification officially estimated 107,000 persons are out of work. One of them is Korean War vet. eran Edward Achee, 25, who spent 33 months in Red prison camps. neieasea irom periodic hospital ization two weeks ago. he hasn't found a Job. "I've really been pounding the pavement," ne said. "Heck, no body remembers the Korean War any more." When he came back from Korea, he and his wife Margaret, 21, were momentarily famous. Bands played and television cameras caught them in a rapturous em brace whta he stepped off the troop ship. He wasn't bitter about his lack of a Job but he was concerned. "Being out of a job is a lot bet ter than fighting a war. But It's not pleasant," he said. Achee said he was all but brake. He said he used his back Army pay to buy a car and pay Mar garet's bills for three operations while he was in service. Margaret is working but she is expecting a baby. Drownings Averted By Small Boy PRINEVILLE UPl A 6-year-old boy managed to save himself and to pull his 3-year-old sister from an icy mill pond near here, their mother reported after watching helplessly from shore Wednesday. Mrs. Wesley Hammersley said the Ice cracked and plunged her two children into the middle of the pond three miles north of Prtne- vllle. She heard their screams, and ran to the pond only to find the ice too thin to, bear her weight, she said. She was pushing boards out toward the floundering children, when Jimmy, 6, managed to pull himself from the water onto Ice which held up under him. Then he hauled his sister. Bren- da, to safety, Mrs. Hammersley said. She added that she put them into warm beds at home, and they appeared all right. OVERWORK FREDERICK. Md. WPI Charles A. Lawson, 47, called liremen when a brush fire he started got out of control and threatened four homes in its path yesterday. Then he collapsed and died, apparently irom overexertion, after helping firemen bring the blaze under control.
