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

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.

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

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.

he collapsed and died, apparently
irom overexertion, after helping
firemen bring the blaze under control.
