Now. A monolithic memory lets you
forget stop-and-go keypunching.
IBM announces a keypunch that isn't stop-andgo. It's another reason we're the company behind
the computer.
We have a keypunch that's designed to help your people
become more productive.
It's called the IBM 129 Card Data Recorder.
It comes in models that both punch and verify cards.
And it lets your operators key data into a monolithic
memory that serves as a buffer before the cards are punched.
What does this new technology mean to you?
It means that your operators can key data continuollsly.
Even while another card is being punched and stacked.
It means that thev can make corrections before a card is
punched. Which in tu~ means that an entire card won't have
to be repunched because of a single mistake.
It means that your operators can work at their fastest
speed.
'

The U9's monolithic memory will store up to six different
card formats so your operators can change them easily
without interrupting their work flow.
Exclusive options: An "accumulate" feature will total
selected card fields. Another feature provides a count of
keystrokes and cards.
It has all these new advantages. Yet it has the same
familiar keyboard. So your operators won't have to be
retrained to use it.
We believe our job is to help you get the most out of your
computer.
And that is another reason we're the company behind
the computer.

The company behind the computer.

The decision to grow the
carnations shown on the front
cover was "made" by a computer program. Burgett Floral
Co., Cloudcroft, New Mexico,
used an IBM 1130 computing
system to analyze cyclical
sales patterns, costs, production rates, disease factors, and
spoilage rates. The computer
"concluded" that carnations
and roses were in greatest demand, and most profitable,
for the company to grow. The
company also uses its computer to monitor temperature
and humidity control devices
and to remind company officials when to order, plant,
fertilize and top flowers. Burgett annually produces five
million flowers.

EDITORIAL

Books, Computers, ,and the Great Future
One way of thinking of a computer is to think of it as a
kind of book.
Output. A book (for example, in Russian) contains
in forma tion which you can read, provided you know the
spoken language (Russian), the alphabet (of Russian), and
can pronounce the alphabetic signs (in context) which spell
the designated words. In the same way a computer contains
information which can be output usefully, provided you
know the set of operations by means of which the
computer will produce the information you desire.
Input. You can put information into a book. For a
simple example, you can make entries in your date book, or
put notes into a notebook, or even write a manuscript
which a publisher will print as a book. In the same way,
you can put information into a computer - give it data and
programming by means of which later you can get useful
information out.
Storage. You can store information in a book. In fact, a
book is a magnificent way of storing information. The
sheets of paper it comprises can be easily impressed with
marks that will stay a few days or a few centuries. The
sheets of paper with their marks can be easily duplicated in
quantity and spread all over the world. You can store
information in a computer, not as well all in all, but
effectively. Of course, most of the time the storage cannot
be sensed by human beings; only by magnetic changes and
electronic pulses can human beings find out the
information stored in the computer. But the techniques are
becoming so widespread thai one nowadays hears few
complaints that "you cannot see what is in the computer."
Calculation. You can calculate with a book. Books are
full of tables of results - for many varieties of
combinations of many kinds of data. In this way they
effectively provide many calculations that exactly fit the
requirements. A great many more calculations than those
stored in books can be done by a man with a book of
factors in his pocket and some rules for estimating stored in
his brain. In this way the man may be ready to inspect, and
approve or disapprove, all kinds of calculated results.
However, a computer really comes into its own when it
is a matter of calculating and deciding about more elaborate
cases than can ever be tabulated in books or decided by
educated inspection.
Ideas. But when we think of ideas, of knowledge, we
think of books.
The knowledge written down and printed in books is
still the foundation of all present-day civilization. This is
true for many reasons. First, quantity: The amount of
useful information recorded in print is enormously greater
than the amount of useful information expressed in all the
other ways put together. Any story, epic, adventure, idea,
principle, science, philosophy, art, technique, discovery,
technology, once written down and printed, can be read,
studied, and learned from books. Second, accessibility: It is
quite easy and cheap to get or borrow a copy of almost any
6

book on almost any subject whenever you want to read it far easier and cheaper than to obtain access to a computer
and communicate with it. Third, convenience: You can
take what the book says into your own mind at your own
time at your own speed: if you want to hurry and skip, you
can; if you want to read it over and over until you know it
by heart, you can; if you want to read it on a commuting
train in the morning, you can. In a book you can
communicate with another mind, not at his speed or
convenience but at your own. Fourth, quality: In books,
the greatest men who have ever lived, the best experts, the
most informed authorities, can offer you answers for your
questions, instruction in the subjects you are most
concerned with, guidance in the problems that rack your
spirit, and far more. Fifth, vicarious experience: You and I
will probably never climb Mt. Everest, or survive the sinking
of an ocean liner, or look through a porthole at' a kind of
starfish seven miles down in the Pacific Ocean. We shall
certainly never flee from Pompeii while Vesuvius erupts, or
accompany Charles Darwin on the survey shi p Beagle
around South America. Yet reading a book at our leisure,
we can become oblivious to the real world around us and
feel and imagine ourselves having such experiences. The
treasury of the wisdom and knowledge of the world is in
books. And the gateway is open to anyone who can read.
The computer field is still enormously involved with
machinery, circuits, equipment, optical character reading,
interfaces, modems, maintenance, etc., etc., etc. But we can
predict that as the years pass, all this will fade into the
background, and the foreground of attention will be the
content and ideas of computer programs and data bases, the
knowledge they contain, and the power to answer questions
which they express.
Which is more important - the manufacture of books or
the content of books? - the manufacture of computers or
the content of computers? The answers are obvious.
So we can confidently predict that the computer field in
the future will be something like an automatic social mind
containing concepts, ideas, programs, systems, and other
intellectual constructs by means of which almost all
knowledge, and records. of experiences of almost all kinds,
can be studied, investigated, manipulated, summarized, and
communicated to individual human minds. The treasury of
the knowledge of the world will become automated.
Here is where the future lies.
This view outward bound is very exciting. This
development may even contain the solutions to many giant
problems which human beings of today, with their own
little abilities, and their even more limited memories, and
their slowly accessible, passive, storehouses of books called
libraries, cannot be expected to solve.

READERS' FORUM

"RESPONSIBLE JOURNALISM" - COMMENT
Clark Squire, Panther 21
Rikers Island Prison
New York, N.Y.
Re: "Responsible Journalism" [editorial in the
November, 1970, issue of "Computers and
Automation", page 7 - and the article, "The
Life and Times of Clark Squire: Computer
Programmer, Black Panther, Prisoner" by
Joseph Hanlon, in the same issue, page 36]

For any other reason, than the attack by "your
colleague in the computer field" on the veracity of the "C.
Squire: Programmer, Panther, Prisoner" article, I would not
respond. Even had I written the article, I would feel no
overwhelming need to respond. But the article was written
by Joseph Hanlon with no collaboration on my part. I was
simultaneously preoccupied with a fight for my life on
three fronts, namely, (1) the Branch Queens jail rebellion,
(2) the current court trial and (3) isolation in maximum
security at Rikers Island prison. An attack on the
credibility of the article is also an attack on the credibility
of Joe Hanlon. So I feel compelled to respond.
I have never met Joe Hanlon personally. I read the
article for the first time in the November, '70 issue of
Computers and Automation. Lately I have had an
abundance of exposure to the veracity of the established
press. This stems from actually being involved in various
day to day events (i.e., pretrial hearings, court trials, jail
conditions, prison rebellions, etc.) and then reading about
these same events in the established press, including the
objective N. Y. Times. Needless to say, the facts are not all
"that's fit to print".
After reading your colleague's criticism, I went over the
article with a fine tooth comb. I came up with the
following errors 1. In March, 1969, Clark Squire was earning $17,000
per year, he was married, had a young child, and had no
criminal record.
8

I had prior convictions on 2 misdemeanors, both were
politically associated.
2. In all, the police reported that they found: six
pistols, four rifles, a shot gun, a switch blade knife, and a
dagger; components and explosive powder for one time
bomb; thirty feet of detonating fuse; and pipe and powder
that could be assembled into three other bombs.
The Police did report this. But since we are
dealing with veracity, the correct number of shot
guns is two. The claim of components and powder for
one time bomb is false. This probably resulted from
pretrial hearing attempts to introduce an alarm clock
as time bomb components or a crayon drawing of a
clock face by one of the defendants' seven year old
son as a time bomb diagram; both items were rejected
even by Judge Murtagh.
3. On April 3, a grand jury returned an indictment
charging 21 Panthers .....
The correct date is April 2.
4. Also, Jane Alpert and David Hughey, white radicals
accused of several bombings, were released on $25, 000 bail
each.
The correct bail figure is $20,000 each.
5. For the Panthers, ..... were separated into fOllr
different jails so they could not talk to each other and
could not meet as a group with their lawyers.
The correct number of jails is seven.
This is every error, including even the smallest and least
significant error, that I could find in the entire article. All
remaining parts are completely true in every detail.
For Joe Hanlon to complete in one month a lengthy
uncollaborated article on such a controversial subject
spanning 19 months of the Panther 21 arrest, trial and 13
years into my background with only a few insignificant
errors, is a remarkable feat. From. my experience, it is a
phenomenon rarely duplicated by reporters in the
establishment press.
Anyone criticizing an article on its credibility ought to
back up their criticism with facts, but nevertheless has a
right to their own opinion. This is what makes the world go
around and I definitely support revolution. If your
colleague, who doubts the credibility of the article, can
document even one significant error in the entire article
COMPUTERS and AUTOMATION for January, 1971

other than the relatively minor ones I have already pointed
out, th~n I would consider his criticism of some validity.
OtherwIse I tend to doubt the sincerity of his criticism and
think that he does not believe the article - because he does
not want to believe it, that he does not want to investigate
the facts and what really disturbs him is the spectre of
Black reality exploding into ·his serene, aloof, air
conditioned, panoramic view, raised floor, show case
computer profession.
I al~o suggest to your colleague that the only computer
that wIll lead us closer to justice is man.

established a Committee on State Information Systems in
recognition of the growing importance of information
systems and computerization in the affairs of state
government. A year and a half ago the Council authorized
the establishment of NASIS as a CSG cooperating agency.
During this period the impact of information systems
and computerization on state government has grown
enormously. NASIS has had some part in and influence on
that growth. Much of this influence has come through the
personal relationships that have developed within the
NASIS membership, among both executive and legislative
personnel.
The needs and the opportunities· for NASIS to
strengthen its leadership role are demonstrated daily.
Through the financial assistance of OEO and a number of
the States, we can now take the initiative in furthering our
program. A major step was taken when Charles R. Rowan
agreed to serve as Director of Staff Services for NASIS
beginning August 15, 1970. We now have a competent,
full-time staff person to assist in accomplishing our objectives.
Some areas in which our efforts can be fruitful are those
subjects in which our committees are presently operating:
Standards, Federal-State Relationships, Inter-branch Liaison, Research and Education, Local Government Liaison,
and Data Security and Privacy. Each of these encompasses
large and important tasks.
A further area of activity is methods whereby we may
give advice and assistance to States in information systems
organizational and policy problems.
Many State computer activities have strong assets in the
form of good programs that may be directly or indirectly
valuable to other States. Already some of us have received
direct, valuable assistance from other States. NASIS has the
ability to assist the actual transfer of extremely valuable
assets between and among States. These are not just "free
advice" but are effective computer systems that may save
hundreds of thousands of dollars and, prevent years of lost
time.

We need, therefore, to develop methods to assure knowledge of these available assets and to increase their utilization.

IINSTANT INSANITYI - MORE COMMENTS
M. B. Rawl ings
Bakkevej SI A
2830 Virum
Denmark

I enter the Instant Insanity debate rather late.
I tackled the problem some time ago, intermittently
between September 1968 and February 1969 using 360
DOS Assembler. My main interest in the number of possible
combinations was an initial concern about the amount of
computer time I might require, and I incorporated interrupt
and restart routines!
In fact the theoretical maximum (whether 8 or 16
million) is irrelevant, since there is no point in rotating cube
number 3 until cubes 1 and 2 satisfy the conditions.
Similarly cube 4 need not be rotated for every position of
cube 3, and of course this is how the puzzle should be
tackled manually. What is more, when a human being finds
a solution, he derives no additional satisfaction from rotating the whole stack about a longitudinal axis, nor from
0
laying down the stack and rotating each cube 180 about a
vertical axis.
Thus the efficient computer program considers only 3
attitudes for the 1st cube (mine tried all 24) and tests all 24
positions of the second cube against each. Whenever a
potential solution is found, cube 3 is rotated 24 times,
bringing in cube 4 as appropriate. After 24 turns of cube 3
it is 'reset' and cube 2 resumes.
On this basis the actual number of combinations examined only runs into thousands, and this depends of course
on the choice of colours. The two sets of cubes which I met
in England were identical and produced only one basic
solution in eight variations. My program counted the
number of rotations of each cube, and the time between
solutions; unfortunately I no longer have the printout. The
job was printer-bound on a System 360 model 40.

THE IEEE COMPUTER SOCIETY
CALL FOR PAPERS -IEEE COMPUTER SOCIETY CONFERENCE, 1970

I. John L. Kirkley
Administrative Office
IEEE Computer Society
16400 Ventura Blvd. Suite 321
Encino, Calif. 91316

On January 1, 1971, the Computer Group of the
Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, Inc., became the IEEE Computer Society.
The change in status recognized the Group's rapid
growth, its wide range of member services, and the importance of the computer and information technology field
in general. On the January 1 change-over date, the Computer Society had well over 17,000 members.
Professor E. J. McCluskey, Director of the Digital Systems Laboratory at Stanford University, is currently Group
chairman, and the nominee for President of the IEEE
Computer Society.
Following is a statement from him.

II. E. J. McCluskey, Director
Digital System Laboratory
Stanford Univ.
Stanford, Calif.

Historically the IEEE Computer Group evolved from
two committee activities of the American Institute of
Electrical Engineers and the Institute of Radio Engineers.
These were the .Computing Devices Committee and the
Professional Group on Electronic Computers, respectively.
The membership of these two organizations consisted
essentially of professionals educated as electrical·engineers
who happened to be working on computers or to be
interested in them. The committee type of organization was
appropriate for these engineers and worked reasonably well.
As a result of maintaining its position within the IEEE, the
IEEE Computer Society will be able to continue to serve
these "electrical engineers specializing in computers."
The changes which we hope to implement are aimed at
increasing our ability to serve a different type of member.
Specifically, the innovations should be most significant for
that newer type of professional who regards himself as a
computer engineer or scientist rather than an electrical
engineer. An increasing number of such individuals are
being educated in computer science or engineering curricula. Also, many people who received their formal educations in diverse disciplines now work as full-time computer
engineers. By providing such individuals the opportunity to
become full members of the Computer Society without
requiring them to join the IEEE, it is hoped that we will be
able to provide a better organization for them while
maintaining our service to our more traditional type of
member. With this broader type of membership, the committee type of organization no longer seems appropriate.
For this reason the changes in structure and names are
being made.
Information on membership in the Computer Society
can be obtained by writing the Society's Administrative
Office, address above.

The theme of the fifth annual IEEE Computer Conference, to be held at the Sheraton-Boston Hotel,
Boston, Massachusetts, September 22-24, 1971, is:
HARDWARE, SOFTWARE, AND FIRMWARE
TRADE-OFFS
Papers should relate to the engineering and design
problems of trade-offs between hardware, software,
and firmware, and the use of system methodology
for resolving design questions. The rationale for
design choices, rather than particular implementation techniques, is of primary interest.
Typical major subject areas, which may serve as
the~es for particular sessions include:
Modeling and Measurement Techniques
Analysis of Memory Hierarchies
. Hardware and Software for High-Availability
Systems
Communication-Network Analysis and Design
Operating-Systems Tuning
Systems Requirements for Terminal Based
Systems
Program Compatibility, Conversion and Emulation
Optical Character Recognition and its System
Computer-Aided Design of Computers and Their
Components
Conference presentations will consist of both invited and solicited papers. Submitted papers will
be evaluated by referees. A written digest and major illustrations summarizing the proposed paper
should be submitted for review by April 30, 1971.
Send a single typewritten copy of the digest of the
paper to:

THE INTERACTIVE
TIME-SHARING MARKET
Joseph Levy
Frost and Sullivan
106 Fulton St.
New York, N.Y. 10038

The interactive time-sharing market was $ 1 0 million in
1965; climbed to $180 million in 1969; and will rise to
$1.5 billion by 1975.
This is one of the main conclusions and predictions of an
analysis and forecast of this market which we have just
finished and published in a report. There are approximately
175 companies in the time sharing business; 150 of them
started in business within the last three years.
Personnel constraints, cost escalation, the availability of
independent software firms, and new hardware and software have enabled and encouraged many large companies to
buy time-sharing services for an increasing portion of their
needs in data-processing.
(Please turn to page 13 )
COMPUTERS and AUTOMATION for January, 1971

(Continued from page 10)

The report includes market projections for time sharing,
for central processing units, memories, communications,
and other peripheral equipment.
Computer hardware sales are expected to reach $25.4
billion in 1975. The number of computers with remote
terminals will increase to 25% of all installations by 1975.
Software services will soar to $8.5 billion.
We shall be glad to furnish more information about our
analysis and report.

ACCESS TO ONE/S OWN RECORDS
Bruce Madsen
10332 East Lake Road, RD-1
North East, PA 16428

I hope Professor Gotlieb (see "Computers and
Automa tion", September, 1970) can clarify a point in his
article for me. When " ... is [it] not desirable for a
person ... to have access to his complete record (as might be
the case with a doctor's report)"? (Page 16, bottom, left
column).
At one point I was refused any access to my medical
record at a health center I had not visited in two years.
Another health center refused to send my record to anyone
but "my family doctor". These restrictions have created
gaps in my medical record which (theoretically) could cost
my life.
When is it desirable for an individual to be ignorant of
himself? Who is qualified to judge what another individual
should not know?

"COMPUTERS AND AUTOMATION"SOME VIEWS
I. From Michael Richter
1378 Morningside Way
Venice, CA 90291

In several years in both software and hardware management, I had never encountered Computers and Automation.
Two months ago, the office copy was routed to me, and
now I have the November issue as well. Where had you been
hiding?
Enclosed are a copy of your subscription card and my
personal check for $18.50. That will cover, I believe, one
year's subscription (excluding the Computer Directory and
Buyer's Guide) and one copy of each of the May, July,
August, and September issues. Your articles on Computers,
Science, and Assassination seem to be of value not only in
themselves, but also as representative of the efforts responsible engineers and scientists should be undertaking to
advance humanity and human interests outside of aerospace
and business. I am looking forward to reading the series.
Incidentally, and trivially, Numble 7011 appears to read
"Offended self-esteem will never forgive." And pity 'tis 'tis
true.
Also, the solution to Problem 7011 (Octal 107 =
Decimal 071) that I come up with seems curiously coincident with the problem number. Is the solutibn unique? It
appears to be, but there is no obvious proof for n digits.
COMPUTERS and AUTOMATION for January, 1971

Finally, is it practical to begin my subscription with the
November issue so that I have also a copy of "Confidential
and Secret Documents ... " to complete the set to date?
Thank you for your journal, and for your assistance in my
request.
II. From the Editor

Thank you for your interest and your subscription.
We do believe that much of what we publish expresses
your philosophy, "to undertake to advance humanity and
human interests outside of aerospace and business."
The solution to Problem 7011 includes at least one more
case. See the department Problem Corner in C & A.
It is "practical" to begin your subscription with the
November issue - and we are sending you the October issue
gratis since that one also contains information on "computers, science, and assassinations".
III. From Arthur E. Gardner
Technical Innovation Inc.
6331 Hollywood Blvd.
Los Angeles, CA 90028

We were pleased to receive your letter expressing interest
in the Comprint 90 paper presented in New York last
month.
As requested, a copy is enclosed.
As a long standing subscriber to "Computers and Automation," I would like to take this opportunity to compliment you for the very fine job you have been doing with
the publication for so many years.
IV. From the Editor

As someone has said: If you like what we are doing,
please tell your friends - if you do not like what we are
doing, please tell us.
Not every part of a magazine can be useful to every
reader. But it should be possible each month to put into a
magazine at least some information of interest and importance to almost any reader.
As we enter our 21st year of publication, the goals we
have for "Computers and Automation" are high. To attain
them may be beyond our powers. An economic depression
and storm is sweeping through American business. This
depression was essentially initiated by President Nixon's
decision, called "Vietnamization", to continue to pour
billions of dollars into the war in Indochina and into the
pockets of the corrupt Saigon regime of Thieu, Ky, and
Company - instead of devoting that money to meeting
overdue domestic requirements in the United States. The
economic storm is particularly devastating in the computer
field, and is reducing many computer magazines to one
third of what they used to be.
. But as advertising in "Computers and Automation" has
shrunk, we have filled up our vacant space with more
articles and more editorial matter. Our issues are almost the
same size as they used to be. We can do this because we
survive on paid subscriptions from readers who really want
our magazine.
To continue to publish we need subscribers: If you like
what we are publishing - please persuade at least one or
two of your friends to subscribe. (Their money back, if
they are not satisfied.) And if you do not like what we are
publishing, please give us the benefit of your suggestions
and comments.

,THE EDP MANAGERAND THE COMPUTER PROFIT DRAIN

"The average computer installation in the United States uses its eqZlipment
productively less than half the time it is available. "
Walter J. Schroeder, Principal
A.T. Kearney & Co., Inc.
100 S. Wacker Dr.
Chicago, Ill. 60606

Part 1
The Present and Future Status of the EDP Manager
in the Corporate Organization
The status or condition of the EDP manager can be
viewed from various perspectives:
1. We could look at his status vis a vis other top
corporate management positions in the organization.
2. We could review the status of the EDP Manager
from the view of the pUblic. Much has been said
on that subject in the press recently.
3. We can inspect his status from the perspective of
the computer professional's expectations for the
position.
It is the third perspective that I have chosen for my
theme. Compared with the expectations of the field, how
has the EDP Manager fared in the corporate organization
and what is the prognosis?

A Look at the Past
In order to do this it is necessary first to take a brief
look at the past. Predictions concerning the future of the
computer are not difficult to find. Everyone it seems has at
one time or another felt compelled to make a prognostication about where electronics would lead us in managing
business enterprises. It is an intriguing fact that about the
only major forecast to be achieved was the number of

Co., Inc., an international management consulting firm.
During his five years with the company, he has had a wide
variety of assignments in all aspects of production and
inventory control, electronic data processing, systems planning and control, management information systems, corporate organization studies, physical distribution, operations
research, and management sciences.
Prior to joining Kearney, Mr. Schroeder served as Vice
President of Management Services for Massey-Fergusson Inc.,

computers installed. There we have exceeded expectations.
But in other, more fundamental aspects, the predictions
have largely failed to materialize. Consider some of the
following which were widely held beliefs during the 1960's:

1. That there would be a reduction in the numbers of
middle-management personnel required by corporations as the computer began to take over routine
decision-making functions. There is certainly no
evidence to support any conclusion this has been
achieved. If anything, there are more middle-management positions today than there were five years
ago.
2. That profitability and return on investment will
improve when EDP functions fulfill their primary
purpose of providing faster and better information. High-speed information should result in better management decisions and improved performance. Although there are some instances where
improved information has lead to improved performance, I can name many more where it did not
come to pass.
What many top management people and most EDP
personnel have overlooked is the fact t ha t decisions are
made by people. If people are going to become more
effective, they not only need good informa tion but:
(a) they need to be motivated to change, and
(b) they need to be taught how to change.
Few EDP functions adequately address this problem, let
alone even recognize it as the really fundamental objective
of their activity. In case after case, . from hundreds of
interviews and consulting assignments in this field, I have
found the EDP manager turning more and more into a
technician and less and less into a business manager.
Many people have believed that the EDP manager, by
virtue of his analytical training and understanding of the
business through the information systems, will become the
general manager of the enterprise. A few EDP managers
have crossed the barrier into the ranks of functional or
operations management positions. Most of these are in staff
jobs and only a very few are in line positions. Those who
achieved top management did it mostly by starting their
COMPUTERS and AUTOMATION for January, 1971

own businesses in the EDP service industry. A large numb er
of these have proven to be less than sufficiently capable as testified by the large number of business failures in this
industry.

found the degree of EDP absorption into the business is
revealed by the extent of its planning for the future and
how well those plans are integrated with the plans of the
operating functions of the business.

Lack of Training for Business Management

Long-Range Plans

My own observation is that, in general, there is little
about the systems and data processing field which trains a
man to join future top management of the company. He
learns little about the true nature of competition, choosing
product or pricing strategies, and the use of risk capital.
Many in the EDP field have become so engulfed with the
hardware and software they do not even relate well with
their fellow men - an important ingredient in leadership
needed at top corporate levels.
Some EDP managers, particularly those under 35 years
of age, have had work experience only in the EDP function
where they started their careers as computer programmers.
Unfortunately they often know very little about the business.
I conclude that the major expectations of the past have
largely not come to pass. What then is the current status of
the EDP manager?

Only a minority of EDP departments have a really
effective long-range plan. At A.T. Kearney, we define a
long-range systems plan as containing:
1. An overview of the systems as they are intended to
function by the end of the planning period.
2. A list and description of the projects which will be
undertaken.
3. Estimates of personnel requirements by skill categories.
4. Plans for hardware and software changes wi thin
known state of the art.
5. Estimates of benefits and costs.
Even this degree of detail of planning will not be
effective where there is no corporate planning activity. If
top management lacks the vision, desire, or understanding
to establish objectives of performance and to integrate
planning across functions, the EDP plan will be better than
nothing, but not truly viable.
We often are called upon to help clients prepare EDP
plans. Presidents of client companies have commented later
they did not realize the far-reaching consequences of such a
project. While systems planning of this type is on the
increase, there are a pitifully small number of companies
which do it.

The Current Situation
To assess the current situation, I would like first to draw
upon several personal observations.
1. The EDP Organization
Recent surveys indicate a trend toward moving the EDP
organization out of the corporate accounting or financial
area and placing it higher in the overall corporate structure.
Many EDP departments located in the financial areas of the
busine'is have concentrated on financial information systems and have done very little to help in other problem
areas. About 50% of the EDP Managers now report to
non-financial executives. The larger the corporation, the
more likely the EDP manager will report to the President or
other high ranking officer.
2. Systems Planning
The effectiveness of the service to solve problems and
develop application systems provided by EDP functions is
heavily dependent upon the way in which the EDP manager
views his own role in the business.
Some consider their proper role one which is closely
related to the technical computer environment. They concentrate on the development of highly capable computer
complexes and rely upon the users to ensure the realization
of economic benefits. The EDP manager with this view is
likely to describe his function as one of supplying better
informa tion faster.
The other perspective is to view the job as one of solving
user problems - problems which can be stated in terms of:
- Too much inventory,
- Excessively high cost of operation, or
- Inadequate customer service.
Personally, I endorse this latter view as the proper role
of the EDP manager. However, to fulfill that role effectively requires the EDP function to be fully absorbed into
the operations of the business. EDP cannot stand alone or
be isolated from the line and other staff activities. We have
COMPUTERS and AUTOMATION for January, 1971

Part 2
The Computer Profit Drain
The other main topic I would like to discuss is the
effectiveness with which EDP managers manage computer
operations.
Whether EDP managers in general do a good job wi th the
tools they have was revealed by a research study which we
conducted recently at A.T. Kearney and Co., Inc. The
study was entitled, "The Computer Profit Drain". Because
of the significance of the findings, the rest of this article
will summarize that study.
Computing Costs in the U.S.
On the basis of the 1969 World Computer Census
published by Computers and Automation, a conservative
estimate of annual equipment rental in the United States is
$3 billion.
Generally accepted rules of thumb indicate a company
may expect to spend one-third of its systems and computer
expenditures for rental, another one-third in operating costs
in the computing center (personnel, supplies, power and
space) and the balance on system development and programming. It appears therefore that at least $9 billion are
spent annually in the United States for computers and
related costs.
The Burden of Excess Computing Capacity

It has long been suspected that our national economy
bears a heavy burden of excess computing capacity. There
also are indications that a substantial number of users are
not effectively managing computer operations, and, as a
result, may be paying a heavy penalty. The Kearney study
15

provides substantial evidence that two-thirds of annual
expenditures for computer rental and operating costs
(about $6 billion in the U.S.) are poorly managed. It
further reveals that the average computer installation in the
United States uses its equipment productively less than half
the time it is available. Idle time and rerunning of poor
quality work alone is costing the average company in this
study over $100,000 each year.
About the Study

The A.T. Kearney study covered 155 computers used by
89 organizations. A stratified, random sample of companies
in several major industries (see Exhibit 1) was chosen from
the mailing list of a well-known financial service. Each
company was asked to provide explicit information about
their computer operations. First, a small sample of companies was contacted and results summarized. Later, a
larger sample was analyzed and the results compared wi th
the earlier sample to test the validity of the study. The two
groups were highly correlated, indicating the results are
statistically valid.
Significant Findings

Interestingly, though the study sample was broken down
by industry, the data revealed no significant differences
among industry groups. Briefly, the six most revealing
findings are:
1. Only 48% of available time is used productively.
2. Computers are operated only 64% of available
time.
3. 25% of manned hours are wasted.
4. Large centers have the poorest performance in all
categories of lost time.
5. 42% of the companies reporting do not maintain
accurate records on computer performance.
6. Firms using multi-programming achieve higher production.
However, of much more significance are differences in
performance between small, medium and large computer
installations.
Productive Use of Available Computer Time

Of the total available machine hours (three shifts, thirty
days per month = 720 hours) the average computer in the
study performs productive work only 48% of the time.
Productive work is defined as the time equi pmen t is used
to process Production Runs and Testing, without regard for
how effectively the computing power of the machine is
being used at anyone time or the value of the information
produced. Based on our experience, there is a high probability that the computers are not working to capacity when
doing productive work. Therefore, productivity is even less
than indicated by the study results.
Operation During Available Time

Computing centers are manned and operated only 64%
of available ·time, a major factor contributing to low
computer utilization. Significant differences exist in hours
manned as between large and small installations. The larger
installations tend to operate much longer hours. Several
companies reported that their computer centers hardly ever
close.
16

The percentages of manned hours to total hours convert
into shifts per week as follows:
Size of
Installation
Small
Medium
Large
Average
Available

Number of
Shifts Per Week
10

16

21

Waste of Manned Hours

A comparison of productive time with total hours that a
computing center is manned and operated is most revealing.
This comparison indicates that 25% of all costs are wasted
due to Idleness, Reruns, Machine Maintenance, and Down
Time.
Largest Centers Lose the Most Time

Significantly, larger installations suffer about 40% greater losses for these reasons than smaller ones. This suggests
that huge computing centers are less efficient, experience
greater scheduling problems, are more difficult to manage
and are more likely to have highly structured, inflexible
organizations resulting in lack of coordination and a negative impact on efficiency.
The substantially higher rerun percentage suggests that
large installations need better controls and need to provide
improved training for personnel.
From other studies of individual computing centers we
have seen that the technology of massive hardware and
complex configurations of devices create an environment
which may not be fully understood and controlled by its
staff. Trial and error play major roles in managing these
installations.
It is readily apparent that EDP management should
evaluate the productivity ratios of its computer installation
before authorizing multiple shifts and new equipment.
During,the time the computers are manned but idle, the
company is paying for both rental and payroll. Sixteen
percent idle time translates into a cost to U.S. businesses of
about $960 million annually. The four percent average
reruns ccsts American industry $240 million per year.
On the average the companies in the study are incurnng
the following annual losses due to idleness and reruns:
Size of Computer
Installation
Small
Medium
Large

Annual Costs due to:
(1) Idle Time
(2) Reruns
$30,000
$2,000
84,000
18,000
280,000
94,000

These costs represent inadequate management in the
truest sense. In our experience, they result from such
factors as:
1. Inadequate instructions for computer operators.
2. Absence of internal controls.
3. Improper or non-existent computer scheduling.
All of these require management attention.
Maintaining Accurate Records

The 155 computers in the survey represent a total
COMPUTERS and AUTOMATION for January, 1971

capital investment of approximately $110-million at purchase price. The low utilization indicates that management
is not giving its attention to the performance of this
expensive equipment. This is substantiated by the fact that
42% of the respondents report the data submitted are
estimated because accurate records of computer utilization
are not maintained.
Clearly management has written the computing center
off as being outside of its management technique, and have
left the center for the technician to manage.
Multi-Programming Brings Higher Production

Approximately 28% of the computers in the study are
operated in a multi-programming or multi-processing mode
(processing more than one application program at anyone
time). Those with multi-programming achieve a ratio of
productive time (production and testing) to total available
hours of 62% compared with only 42% for non-multiprogramming operations. This indicates that, as companies
require processing in multiple shifts, they also seek more
ways to increase throughput per hour of processing.
To validate this conclusion, we compared meter hours
with total operating time. Meter hours are widely held to be
the only convenient measure of how near capacity a
computer is operating. Multi-programlning computers have
a 94% relationship between meter hours and operating
hours. Non-multi-programming computers have only a 75%
ratio.
It is easier (but more costly) for managers to increase
throughput by going to multiple shifts, than it is to install
multi-programming.
Although many installations have the technical competence and hardware/software capability to increase throughput of their computers with multi-programming, they do
not avail themselves of this added capacity due to:
1. Desire by technicians for more powerful and costly equipment.
2. A large residue of computer programs written in
second generation or non-compatible programming
languages.
3. Management's inability to understand the true
capacity of equipment on hand.
Performance Objectives

Only 22 companies, out of the 89 in the study, reported
productive time compared with available hours exceeding
60%. The results of the 22 companies with the highest ratio
of productive time (production and testing) to available
hours, were segregated from the total sample to establish
performance criteria that might suggest goals or objectives
for less efficient operations. As a group, they operate their
computers longer hours and achieve 68% productive time
compared with only 40% for the other respondents.
As a percentage of manned hours these high performance companies turned in the following results:

Idle Time
Reruns

All industry groups and all size classifications were
represented among these high performers. Only in rerun
performance did this group have a poorer result than the
rest of the respondents. It appears that even the best
computing installation can find opportunities to cut waste.
The Challenge for Management

It has become more and more apparent, to both EDP
specialists and general management, that selection and
management of computer systems projects has suffered
from lack of management attention and direction during
the decade of the sixties. It has often seemed that frustrations generated by delays and escalating costs of systems
projects causes executives to breathe deep sighs of relief
once the systems are installed. They quickly and gladly turn
attention elsewhere, and the result is waste and inefficiency
in the computer room.
This study demonstrates clearly the opportunity available to the executive who has the interest, determination
and know-how to measure and improve the performance of
his computer operations. Simple tools can be utilized to
monitor the computing center. Once such tools are in use,
goals can be established and performance gradually improved. This is the approach taken by several of our clients.

Case. The computer was manned initially 100% of the
time. Outside rental of computer time had risen
sharply and was being used to justify a proposal to
increase computing power. Initial analysis of throughput revealed very low utilization of the installed
computer. By instituting monthly management re:
view of several performance indicators management
began to establish specific goals.
EDP personnel, working diligently to achieve these
goals, discovered numerous ingenious ways to increase throughput and eliminate outside rental time.
They successfully delayed acquisition of a new, larger
computer for two years, created much better rapport
and communication with management, and developed
a more professional EDP group.
Regardless of industry, managing a computing center has
virtually all the characteristics of managing a manufacturing
plant. Many of the same disciplines and techniques apply.
It is time to apply some of the concepts of Management
Information Systems to the management of computers.
Although millions upon millions of words have been written about information systems that schedule and control
manufacturing processes, and millions upon millions of
dollars have been invested in such systems, there is seeming
reluctance to apply similar techniques to the data center.
A machine tool costing $50,000 may be scheduled,
loaded and measured in terms of minutes and mills. A
complex of accounting, routing, standards and methods are
used in the process. But even· a modest size computer,
costing ten times that amount, is often operated with
inadequate or non-existent management tools.

Facilities Management?

Management has the option of applying generally known
planning and control techniques to the computer center, or
employing one of the more recently developed services 17

facilities management - where an outside vendor takes over
operation of the customer's computer center, sometimes
including systems and programming activities, and physically removes operations to the vendor's data center. Such
an approach is not without trial and tribulation.
One of the largest financial institutions in the
world has for years operated its business without an
internal computer or systems and programming staff.
It has been using a local service bureau installation for
all systems design, programming and computer operations. Unfortunately, the proprietor of the service
bureau recently decided to retire. He, therefore,
opened negotiations to sell the service bureau, including the applications programs, to a third company
that intended to market them to competitors of the
financial institution. There has been considerable
concern about how to regain independence from this
operator so the company can become master of its
own destiny.
When the computer is used effectively and becomes an
integral part of the business, it usually is due to an intense
involvement by top management. The systems and informa"tion with which the business is operated are as vital to its
success as the products or services it sells. Thus management does not have the choice of:
1. Managing these systems and computer activities,
or
2. Turning them over to someone else.
They must be well managed irrespective of where they
are performed, and those responsible for the success of the
enterprise are responsible for the successful conduct of all
its vital functions.

An Effective Approach

The findings of this study suggest that the EDP manager
of the seventies must become a much more effective
manager of his resources. At the same time he must
continue to struggle with user relationship problems. A
great deal of credibility is lost by the EDP manager who
does not look to the effectiveness of his own managing
techniques, while trying to advise others on how to solve
their problems.
Those who have seen the opportunity have been rewarded by substantial improvement. They have usually
accomplished that by following a five-step process:
1. Find out where you are. The first step is to determine
what the current situation is. How good or bad is it? Which
aspects are satisfactory? Which are not? This can usually be
established by a brief survey and elementary measurement
of current performance. Five broad areas to be reviewed
are:
- Objectives, Goals, Long-Range Plans, Organization
- Relationships with Major Users
- Quality of Design Concepts Employed
- Efficiency of Machine and Manpower Utilization
- Administration of the Function
2. Define Objectives. Executives need to determine the
role and mission of the EDP effort within the organization.
Without defining these and specific objectives for accomplishment, effectiveness will be seriously hampered. It is
important that these be:
18

- Put into writing for analysis, study and modification as necessary.
- Understood and accepted by senior management,
user members of the organization and systems and
data processing personnel.
Overemphasis on the service-to-users aspect of data
processing objectives may contribute to inadequate understanding of the cost trade-offs which service involves. It is
important that all affected persons view these conflicts in
proper perspective. Development of objectives can ma terially assist.
3. Establish Measures of Performance. On the basis of
objectives, systems and data processing activities should be
analyzed to establish those specific performance factors
that will be measures of effectiveness. Care must be taken
to identify items that can be measured with some precision
and accuracy. Major categories of measured activities are:
- Costs
- Quality
- Schedule Adherence
- Utilization of Personnel
- Utilization of Machinery
4. Develop Goals and Plans. For each measured activity,
standards of acceptable performance should be agreed upon
between senior management and EDP management. Where
the standard represents significant improvement over current performance, interim goals and plans for their accomplishment should be developed. The goals represent gradually improving performance each month until the standard
is reached. EDP management should then set forth in detail
the actions to be taken to achieve each increment of
change.
5. Measure and Motivate. Senior management should
demonstrate its sincere desire in seeing that standards are
achieved. This requires the personal time of the interested
executive to:
- Hold regular meetings and review progress.
- Ensure that the reporting system is accurate and
objective.
- Review proposed plans.
- Aid in diagnosing successes and failures.
- Provide motivation (reward and punishment) for
EDP personnel to achieve the standards.'
- Reexamine and modify standards, measurements
and reporting systems as conditions change.

Our study, "The Computer Profit Drain", indicates that
the total burden of excess computing capacity in the
United States is nearly $3.5 billion. Elimination of idle time
and reruns" would increase throughput about 20% and
reduce costs by about $1.2 billion per year. Elimination of
unmanned hours would provide a 75% increase in computer
throughput. This is the equivalent of about $2.25 billion in
computer rental per year.
These projections do not even consider the improvements which can result through use of available technology
in the equipment now installed.
Thus while the A. T. Kearney study presents only a
portion of the EDP manager's responsibility and performance level, it seems quite clear that the wave of criticism of both computers and those who work with them - is in
at least some ways justified. Perhaps, then, the status of the
EDP manager can best be characterized by one word:
opportunity.

TAX RETURN FILING BY COMPUTER
"With the joint-filing program, as with any of the magnetic tape filing
programs, it is permissible to file only magnetic tape, or to file a combination of magnetic tape and paper forms. "
Mark E. Battersby
39 E. Lancaster Ave.
Ardmore, Pa.. 19003

To most taxpayers, the increasing use of computers by
the Internal Revenue Service simply means more possibilities of being caught, for, as Will Rogers said: "The income
tax has made more liars out of the American people than
golf has." For those engaged in the computer field, however, this expansion of I.R.S. computer facilities means
more opportunities for increasing use of their own equipment in not only preparing tax information, but in filing it.
The Internal Revenue has for several years permitted the
filing of certain information returns on magnetic tape, but
only recently has it worked out a new program in conjunction with the Social Security Administration that permits
an employer to file the Annual Wage and Tax Statements
(Copy A of Form W-2) together with Earnings Reports for
the fourth quarter (Form 941, Schedule A). These can now
be combined on one magnetic tape and filed with the Social
Security Administration, and when combined, they will
satisfy the filing requirements of both the Social Security
and the I.R.S.
What this program can mean to your business operations
depends, of course, on your present capabilities and
whether you are already taking advantage of the existing
programs to file magnetic tape. Utilizing this program when
or if combined with the other reports already acceptable by
the Internal Revenue can minimize programming effort,
simplify payroll procedures, reduce the number of machine
runs, eliminate at least one major report to the government,
and provide other benefits to both employers and the
government.

on the same tape as the Annual Wage and Tax Statements
(W-2), the data for the other three quarters can be prepared
in a compatible tape format and mailed to the Social
Security Administration to satisfy both Social Security and
the I.R.S. filing requirements.
Regardless of whether an employer utilizes the joint
filing program or not, he may obtain permission to substitute magnetic tape filing for the following forms:
Form W-2. The Employee's Wage and Tax Statement
Form W-2 RR. Railroad Employee's Wage and Tax
Statement
Form 1087. Nominee's Information Return
Form 1099. U. S. Information Return
With the joint-filing program, as with any of the magnetic tape filing programs, it is permissible to file only
magnetic tape, or to file a combination of magnetic
tape and paper forms. While this does save much frustration, it does not in any way relieve the filer from his
requirement to provide a copy of the W-2 or the Form
1099 for the employee or the individual who would
normally receive one.
This is not as awkward as it may seem because the
format stipulated by the I.R.S. closely follows the basic
forms currently in use, and thus it is a simple matter to
make a print-out of the information using pre-printed forms
and fulfilling the requirements to furnish copies when
required.

Who May File

The Forms

Virtually all of the basic "information returns" required
by the Internal Revenue can be fIled using either the
"paper" forms or magnetic tape.
In addition to the Earnings Reports for the fourth
quarter (Form 941, Schedule A) which may be combined

Mark E. Battersby is a consultant specializing in taxes and
finance. He has worked with clients ranging from large
multi-national corporations to foreign corporations to small
businesses.
Mr. Battersby has had numerous articles published (nearly
30 in the past year), including "The Internal Revenue Service
Looks At Computer Software" in Computers and Automation for February, 1970. Mr. Battersby is a member of the
Authors Guild and several professional business associations.

COMPUTERS and AUTOMATION for January, 1971

The requirements of who may use these programs and
file magnetic tape permits virtually anyone to file.
While both the Social Security and the I.R.S. are limited
as far as equipment goes, they will accept any tapes even if
the tape used is not compatible (see Table 1). When
non-compatible tapes are filed the I.R.S. will attempt to
find conversion facilities.
Generally, the applications for magnetic tape filing will
be disapproved only when the Government is unable to
obtain facilities to convert an employer's tape to a compatible form.
Applications from employers or from agents acting for
employers or groups of employers will be accepted regardless of their ability to submit all required reports on
magnetic tape. As long as there is no duplication or
omission of records, some reports can be on tape and some
on paper forms.
19

Table 1
MAGNETIC TAPE SPECI FICATIONS
Tapes meeting the following specifications are compatible:
Type of Tape - % inch Mylar base, oxide coated
Recording Density - 200,556,800 or 1600 CPI
Parity - Even or odd
Interrecord Gap - % inch
Recording code - 7 channel binary coded decimal, 9 channel
ASCII, or 9 channel EBCDIC

Once an employer or his agent has received authorization to file magnetic tape, such approval will continue in
effect in succeeding years providing that all Revenue Requirements are met and that tapes continue to be submitted. A new application is required if users change to
equipment producing tapes requiring conversion, or if they
discontinue tape reporting for one or more years and then
decide to resume this method of reporting.

Applications

Employers or agents desiring to file information returns
in the form of magnetic tape are required to first file a
letter of application. This letter should be addressed to the
Director of Internal Revenue Service Center in the region in
which the employer or the agent normally files returns.
They should be marked: "ATTENTION, Chief of Program
Analysis Staff."
Employers or agents who desire to participate in the
Social Security Administration - Internal Revenue, Joint
Filing Program should file applications addressed to:
Social Security Administration
Bureau of Data Processing & Accounts
Baltimore, Maryland 21235
Applications will usually be processed and the applicant
notified that his application has been either approved or
disapproved. Applications for the Joint Filing Program will
be reviewed by the Social Security Administration and
coordinated with the Internal Revenue Service, with all
applicants usually notified wi thin 30 days from receipt of
the applications.

Filing

Packaging, shipping and mailing instructions for the
magnetic tapes are provided to the employer or agent after
approval of his application.
Magnetic tapes submitted under the Joint Filing Program
will be submitted to the Social Security Administration.
They will duplicate the Form W-2 data from the fourth
quarter submission and send it to the I.R.S. The filing of a
Joint Tape in the fourth quarter with the Social Security
Administration will satisfy the filing requirement for the
Form W-2 with the I.R.S.
The data prescribed for filing "Paper" forms will apply
to all magnetic tape filing. Requests for extension of time
for Joint Filing should be sent to an Internal Revenue
Service Center, marked "ATTENTION, Chief Program
Analysis StafL' , If the extension is granted, a copy of the
letter granting the extension should be attached to the
tapes when filing.

Provisions have also been made for correcting returns by
using the appropriate paper form to correct employee
records originally submitted in the form of magnetic tape.
Magnetic Tape Specifications

The Social Security Administration and the I.R.S.
regional centers can provide copies of the Revenue Procedure (Rev. Proc. 70-7) as well as additional information
(see Table 2).
The detailed procedures for filing magnetic tapes, regardless of whether for the Joint Filing Program or in lieu of
other information returns, cover every aspect from a detailed definition of what will constitute an acceptable file
down to a technical explanation of the information that is
required in each tape position.

The Results

Computer firms that have used magnetic tape filing in
the past have experienced very little trouble either in having
their initial application approved or in receiving their tapes
back from the I.R.S.
The Internal Revenue claims a thirty day approval or
disapproval of applications for using other forms, and a
normal turnaround time of 45 days in returning the original
tapes submitted. In the past the I.R.S. has managed to live
up to that, and there is no reason to expect that it cannot
do the same under the new Joint Filing Program.
Several years ago there were reports of bugs that had to
be worked out of the Internal Revenue computers, but now
they appear to be completely operational. Since the Social
Security Administration has used their computers for many
years, there is no reason to anticipate trouble on this new
program.
The potential for magnetic tape filing seems to be
increasing as more and more employers demand improved
service from the I.R.S. The "Statement of Organization and
Functions" of the I.R.S. lists an Assistant Commissioner at
the national level whose job is to supervise the Data
Processing Branch (including internal and external training,
and instituting and monitoring all Service Center Data
Processing pilot programs). Thus this new program can be
seen as another step towards total computer/magnetic tape
tax reporting - and not by any means the last step.

OPPOSITION TO NE,W IDEAS
"Human beings resort to a great variety of dzfferent methods to avoid doing
adequate work upon new ideas. .... Even after Orville and Wilbur Wr(ght
had proved by their flights that flying in a machine heavier than air was both
possible and practical, people generally simply would not believe that it had
happened. "

Neil Macdonald
Assistant Editor
Computers and Automation

1. New Ideas
About three months ago I lent a friend of mine a book
by E. J. Ruppelt called "The Report on Unidentified Flying Objects." 1 A short while ago my friend returned the
book to me, and I said, "What did you think of it?" He
said he had not read it. I was surprised, and said, "Did
you look at it?" He said, No, he hadn't. I was still more
surprised and said to him, "Why not?" He mentioned two
prominent astronomers who had said that flying saucers
were nonsense, and said, "That's good enough for me.
I don't want to spend time on them."
I looked at him and smiled, and said, "Well, that IS a
nice, comfortable way of settling something, isn't it? Accept the views of someone else without thinking about
them yourself?"
He looked at me, quite uncomfortable. I suddenly realized I might be losing a friend; I said, "Forgive me for
teasing you," and changed the subject.
But it struck me with great force how often a new idea
is judged by "Who says so?" instead of on more logical
evidence. I began to wonder seriously about OPPOSITION TO NEW IDEAS, both in the computer field and
more generally. For automatic computers and their fantastic powers are one of the great new ideas of the twentieth century, and many aspects of computers have encountered opposition.
A new idea is disturbing, provoking, uncomfortable,
sometimes frightening. It often requires the making of
a decision, and that often requires mental work, utiliz..:tion of psychic energy. As James M. Barrie, Scotch autiL.
and scholar, said once, "Work is net real work unless you
would rather do something else." So human beings resort to a great variety of different methods to avoid doing
adequate work upon new ideas.

2. ttyou Can't Make an Automatic Computer"
Charles Babbage was undoubtedly the first computer scientist who suffered opposition over a new computer idea.
He probably first conceived the idea of making an automatic digital computer in 1812, when he was a professor
of mathematics at Cambridge University in England. He
set out to build a "Difference Engine," a machinewhich
would construct mathematical and navigational functions
by adding various orders of differences.
In his case, he met first with some success, including
aid from the British Government for some twenty years;
but little progress was achieved, and in 1833 government
aid was withdrawn and the project dropped. Babbage,
however, incurably optimistic and obstinate, at once laid
plans for a much more ambitious machine which he called
an "Analytical Engine." This was to consist of three parts:
( 1) the "store," where numbers were to be stored or remembered; (2) the "mill," where arithmetical operations
were to be performed on numbers taken from the store;
4- nd (3) the "sequence mechanism," which would select
the proper numbers from the store and instruct the mill
to perform the proper operations.
As we can see from the viewpoint of more than a century
later, his idea was perfect - both complete and accurate.
We can also see that the failure of his~.Elan at the time

1 "The Report on Unidentified Flying Objects" by Edward J.
Ruppelt, Doubleday and Co., New York, 1956, 243 pp. An interesting and scientifically objective book, reporting (among other
data) that up to the end of 1953, there had been 429 sightings
(out of 1593 thoroughly investigated sightings) of flying objects
that could not reasonably be identified as balloons, aircraft, astronomical bodies, searchlights on clouds, birds, mirages, reflections,
frauds, hoaxes, etc. A great many of these 429 sightings were com-

bined radar-visual sightings; some included photographs; a few
included movies. Ruppelt, a former Air Force Officer, was head
for 2V2 years of the Air Force project charged with investigating
and analyzing UFO's, under the direction of the U.S. Air Force
Technical Intelligence Center located at Wright Patterson Air
Force Base, Ohio. Since the beginning of 1954, however, the
U.S. Air Force has adopted a policy of suppressing all news
about UFO's.

COMPUTERS and AUTOMATION for January, 1971

This article was originally published in Computers and
Automation in February, 1959, almost twelve years ago.
Neil Macdonald has been an Assistant Editor of Com·
puters and Automation for almost eighteen years; he has
been on the masthead since Vol. 2, No.2, March 1953; he
has performed many useful services in those years. But
because of certain limitations, he has never become more
than an Assistant Editor: Neil Macdonald is a pseUdonym for
Edmund C. Berkeley.

21

was due mainly to the lack of sufficiently advanced machine
tools, and the lack of mechanical and electrical devices that
finally became available around 1900-10. But the verdict
about Babbage back in the 1830's and for many years afterwards was that his whole idea was absurd, nonsensical,
laughable, as well as a waste of money. In fact, I remember
hearing some echoes of that laughter when I was studying in school and college in the 1920's.
3. ttyou Can't Really Use an Automatic Computer
Because it is too Unreliable"
Another of the arguments many people asserted against
the new idea of a computer in the years 1946 to 1950 was
that automatic computers could not be expected to operate both reliably and speedily, because the number of
electronic parts in a computer was extraordinarily high.
"Why, who ever heard of a machine with a million parts
that was not breaking down every few minutes?"
This argument too has suffered greatly in the course
of. a few years. What would have seemed fantastic reliability has now been built into a great many automatic
computers.
4. ":Machines Don't Think"
Another thesis in the computer field, which is perennially
opposed by many kinds of people, is that "a machine can
think" or "it is appropriate to call automatic computers
giant brains."
A recent astute comment on this thesis is provided by
the present name of a project at the Research Laboratory
for Electronics at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
This project is called the "Artificial Intelligence Project."
It consists of a serious and sensible investigation of programs to handle various types of intellectual activity not
yet performed by machines. Examples are programs by
means of which an automatic computer: may learn from
experience; or prove high school geometry theorems; or
improve its method of playing a game, such as chess, on
the basis of learning; or "take advice" in carrying out a
simulated geographic trip from one location to another.
But what would have been the reactions of newspaper
reporters and the public if the project had been called
not "Artificial Intelligence" but "Machine Intelligence"?
Yet certainly the problems mentioned require intelligence
for their solution, and certainly machines (automatic computers) are being programmed to deal with these problems
and solve them. The name "artificial" does not change the
reality.
5. "It is Impossible to Plan Production for a Whole
Society Using Computers"
Another thesis that relates to the computer field is expressed -in one of the standard arguments against the variety
of socialism that is defined as a planned economic society
in which the means of production are in theory owned by
all the people and operated in their interest, and distribution is in theory "from each according to his capacity,
to each according to his work." The argument is that such
a society cannot possibly operate properly, because the
amount of detail and the number of decisions to be made
are so great that the calculations cannot possibly be performed.
This same argument about quantity of calculation has
also been used about weather forecasting. The argument
22

is that the amount of data required, and the mathematical
equations that need to be applied, are so voluminous and
involved, that the forecast cannot possibly be computed in
time to do anybody any good. For example, the opponents
of the idea may say with quiet humor, "Yes, today's 8: 00
a.m. forecast will come out of the computer at 7: 00 a.m.
tomorrow." And everyone laughs (or is supposed to).
But a number of computer scientists are seriously working on the problem of weather forecasting using automatic
computers. And there exist at least half a dozen nations
in the world today including at least 800 million people
where a planned economic society called by some people
socialism is operating with the benefit of at least some
degree of computation.

6. Wisdom Before the Event
Now it is easy enough to be wise after circumstances
have shown that a certain idea is false or bad - a broken
reed, like the impossibility of reliable computers, or an evil
principle, like McCarthyism. But how can one be wise
before the event, the outcome, has been revealed?
For dealing with new ideas which are unpopular, disliked, or opposed, a scientific method does exist and can
be followed. It is outlined below.
7. "Impossible"

"That is impossible!" "That is contrary to human nature." "No computer will ever do that."
Here the most useful response is "Why?", "How do you
know?" People need a skeptical, inquiring attitude. A
great many things that were impossible at one time have
become possible at some later time. "Ever" in fact is an
exceedingly long time, more than a thousand years, more
than a million years. And the world is a more complicated
place than many of our theories make it out to be. For
example, the mechanics and relativity of Albert Einstein
include the mechanics of Isaac Newton as a useful first
approximation at small velocities.
There are two kinds of real impossibility. One kind is
logical; the other kind is observational. Under the agreement that "2, 4, plus, equals" are to have their usual
meanings, then it is really impossible that 2 plus 2 does
not equal 4. Why? Because of definitions and logic. The
other kind of real impossibility relates to observations of
the physical world. Under properly described, ordinary
conditions, it is really impossible that common table salt
will not dissolve in common tap water. Why? Because of
many experiments about solutions that have no exceptions,
and a well established physical theory that explains solutions.
Between these kinds of real impossibility, and many kinds
of impossibility asserted in ordinary discussion, there are
many differences.
In the computer field, a great many statements of the
form "no computer will ever have such and such a property" should be wondered about and questioned. And if
the statement is questioned and wondered about long
enough, and if the property is useful, it is perhaps even
likely that one day a computer will have that property in
substance, if not in literal detail. In the same way, man
does not fly by flapping wings like a bird - but he does fly.
8. "Impractical" "
"Well, it might be possible, but it certainly is impractical." "If you try it, it won't work" (or, "won't work

COMPUTERS and AUTOMATION for January, 1971

The 1970 Iss ues

of "Computers And Automation"

An Unusual Year

other items of information on this subject which we
have published during 1970, see page 24.J

Computers and Automation is an unusual magazine,
and 1970 has been an unusual year for Computers and
Automation. It is the oldest magazine in the computer field, first published in September 1951. Thus
1970 is the 20th year of publication.
Factual, Useful, Understandable
Since the beginning, we have looked on our magazine as devoted to factual, useful, and understandable information about computers and their applications and implications, including automation. We
have always sought particularly to cover the most
important implications of computers and automation.
In 1970, two particular implications seemed clearly
important, and C&A branched out in two new directions.
A New Direction:

Computers and Society

The first new direction in which we have branched
out during 1970 is a series of articles with the
general title
Computers and Society: "The House is on Fire"
In this series we have begun to print articles (even
if they don't mention computers) which are likely to
help the computer professional see more clearly his
responsibilities as a professional to help build a
bridge between his professional knowledge of computer "magic" and the great, complex, unsolved problems
of society.
For our "house" (which is our earth) is "on fire"
our planetary spaceship is in serious difficulties - because of ruinous disregard by human beings
of tremendous problems.
[For a list of articles and

Recent
mathematical
works
related
to computation

A New Direction:
Computers, Science, and Assassinations
The second new direction in which C&A has branched
out during 1970 is "Computers, Science and Assassinations".
The ordinary assumption of a computer professional
is that he can obtain, quite directly and fairly
easily, truthful data. He observes, listens, reads,
and asks questions - and thus he finds truthful data
which he needs to have in order to install and operate a computer system. He can assume that if he is
careful, he will not get "garbage" input into his
system - and so he has a good professional chance
of outputting what is not "garbage". This is a correct assumption in the ordinary business or scientific application of computers.
But in regard to crime, and particularly the crime
of political assassination, truthful data are hard
to obtain. Powerful forces of the establishment or
the elite which have arranged or subsequently approved a crime or an assassination are most uneager
to have anybody find out the truth. Computers can
have here a role of great importance: they can be
applied to analyzing great quantities of evidence,
revealing clues, discovering correlations, finding
out inconsistencies, applying facts of physics to
lying statements. Computers can reveal truth that
powerful establishments have sought to hide and bury.
We believe Computers and Automation can playa
role in this direction. [For a list of articles and
other items of information on this subject which we
have published during 1970, see page 24.J

Announcement regarding the
FIFTH EDITION of
WHO'S WHO IN COMPUTERS AND
DATA PROCESSING
being published jointly with The New York Times
Over 15,000 capsule biographies of computer
professionals are included in this edition more than ever before.
All the photo-offset master copy for printing
is at the printer; and the three volumes of this
edition (over 600 pages in total) are expected to
be off the presses in January 1971.
We appreciate the patience with which a great
many orderers of copies in advance have awaited publication.
We are glad that in this case the waiting has
helped change our original hope of "over 10,000"
entrants into a reality of "over 15,000 entrants.
The prepublication price is $60. 00 for the
three volumes (price after publication is $75.00).
Orders may be sent to Computers and Automation.
Edmund C. Berkeley, Editor-in-Chief
Who I s Who in Computers and
Data Processing

Announcement regarding
THE 1970 COMPUTER DIRECTORY AND
BUYERS' GUIDE
the midyear issue of Computers and Automation
being published this year jointly with The
New York Times
A portion of the directory was typeset by
computer: the Roster of Organizations, the
Roster of Products and Services (the Buyers'
Guide) and the six geographic rosters. Because
of these changes in the production process, the
directory this year (220 pages long) will be published late. The expected publication date is
now January 1971.
We deeply regret the lateness.
We shall make sure that the same causes will
not operate next year; and we plan and intend
that the 1971 Computer Directory will be published at "midyear".
The prepublication price (in soft cover or
paperbound) is $9.00 for subscribers to Computers and Automation, and $12.00 for nonsubscribers. After publication, the price is $12.00 for
subscribers and $14.50 for nonsubscribers. Any
subscriber whose subscription included the directory as of June 1970 will of course receive
his copy as a part of his subscription.
To determine if your subscription includes
the directory, look at your address label on an
issue of C&A. If your subscription includes the
directory, *D appears on the label; if your subscription does not include the directory, *N
appears on the label. If your label shows *D
but your subscription began July 1970 or later,
the directory issue you will receive as a part
of your subscription will be the 1971 directory
to be published in June 1971.

adequately.") This is another favorite comment from
many people.
But this comment does allow a good response: you can
try it and it might work. And if you do try it sensibly and
on a small scale, and it does work, and works fairly well,
then in this day and age, you have usually put together
a rather good case for proving that the idea is practical.
In the computer field, the channel of trying something
resourcefully on a small scale, and eventually making the
idea work, has been a big avenue for advance. This avenue
has meant winning many arguments, that such and such
a type of computer or component was practical.
But we should not forget that the avenue was open
in the first place basically l::ecause of government funds
for computer development. In the years 1940 to 1950,
only a relatively small amount of business capital was
devoted to computers. The denial of adequate funds and
a sympathetic administration of them may be an almost
insuperable barrier to proving that wmething is practical.
9. "I Don't Believe It"
Another argument that opposes new ideas is: "I don't
believe it." "There must be an error in reporting."
A good example of this kind of opposition is an anecdote in "The Wright Brothers" by F. C. Kelly (Ballantine
Books, New York, 1950)~_telli~gl1o~ a freelance reporter,
D. B. Salley, went to Kitty Hawk, N.C., where the Wrights
were carrying out experiments with their flying machine.
Salley inquired of a number of newspapers if they would
be interested in buying his reporter's story about how one
of the Wrights had flown 1000 feet in a flying machine,
about 20 feet above the ground. One of the editors he
inquired of, the telegraph editor of "The Cleveland (Ohio)
Leader," was so indignant and insulted by the offer of the
improbable story that he wired Salley collect "cut out the
wild-cat stuff" and paid no further attention to Salley's
response.
Even after Orville and Wilbur Wright had proved by
their flights that flying in a machine heavier than air was
both possible and practical, people generally simply would
not believe that it had happened. The Wrights found
that it took about four years to change the minds of people generally. In fact, the first large group of people to
be convinced were Frenchmen and not Americans.
But "I don't believe it" is of course not a sound argument against a new idea.
10. "Contrary to Authority"
"So and so says such and such. Who am I to disagree
with him?" "So and so says that . . . is nonsense, and
that is good enough for me."
This is the argument from authority.
Part of the strength of this argument is the real fact
that the world is very complex, and that an individual human being using his utmost efforts can have first hand
knowledge of only a small part of it. As one wise man
noted, we all really know nothing in most subjects. So
we have to rely often on certain selected people for information and judgments - on "experts."
Nowadays, it seems as if the divine right of kings to

rule has largely been replaced by the divine right of experts to establish and reveal the truth. It is in fact extraordinary in how many ways the degree to which a man
may be listened to is dependent on his social and professional status, the nature and degree of his authority. If you
or I say something, it usually counts for very little; but if
Secretary of State John Foster Dulles or President Dwight
D. Eisenhower says something, most newspapers in the
country print it, and a lot of people accept it. They accept
it for purposes of daily behavior, even if verbally they express some disagreement, as in desegregation or foreign
policy. For example, Dulles says frequently that mainland
China must not be "recognized." As a result, most people
in the United States including most of Congress, in their
everyday behavior, act as if mainland China does not
properly exist. 2
11. The Judgment of Experts by Non-Experts
The problem of authority raises the question of the
judgment of experts by non-experts. Ordinary people, the
great mass of people who are non-experts, must often
judge the experts. There are several bases for judging
experts which are thoroughly sound.
First, there is the test of "Why?" If you can, ask the
expert "Why?" and listen to what he says; see if he makes
sense. It is very hard work in a rapidly expanding field
such as the computer field, and in many other fields besides,
to stay an expert. Often, in fact, once a man becomes an
expert, he is promoted out of the area in which he has
to stay working if he is to remain an expert.
Second, there is the test of results. See what the expert
produces as results. Often the results are poor, bad, or
dreadful. Even if the expert has the finest degrees, preparation, and experience, if the results are bad, you may have
to get another expert. In the American Civil War, the
test of results was applied month after month to the commanding generals on the Federal side; and when they kept
losing battles, they were replaced, until finally General
Ulysses S. Grant defeated the Confederates.
Of course, when the experts can withhold knowledge
of the objective results from the non-experts who are to
judge these results, we are in a pretty kettle of fish. To
obtain a knowledge of the objective results must then be
a main effort of the non-experts in dealing with the experts.
This is true, for example, in the field of education, where
there are no objective measures of education reported; and
true in the field of a government's foreign policy, where
there is no indepenlent agency assessing the work of the
State Department or Foreign Office, as the case may be;
and true in the field of military affairs, where "security"
and "classification" can cover up a great deal that is bad.
It is probably fortunate that Sputnik I was launched by
the Russians in October 1957. As a result, an objective
test of results produced could be applied to the military
and educational establishments of this country; and a
"teachable moment" could and did result for both the
non-experts and experts in the United States.
In the computer field, however, we are lucky: the nonexperts can judge the experts by the actual work produced

Yet mainland China, a country of 600 million population,
from 1957 to 1958 increased its total annual agricultural and inindustrial output by 70 percent (see The New York Times for Jan.

1, 1959), a somewhat unusual accomplishment for a country that
does not properly exist, and especially for a country which supposedly is about to overthrow its present government and restore
to rule a dictator who fled ten years ago.

by the automatic computers which the experts create. In
fact, in most consumer goods fields, the fine anti-trust laws
of the United States often really prevent the disappearance
of free competition between experts; this protects consumers
and the public. These laws have been applied in the computer field, for example, by the U.S. Government in the
case against International Business Machines Corporation;
and they have widened the area of competition, particularly
by making certain computer field patents open.
12. "Disloyal"
Another source of very strong opposition to new ideas
is the feeling that it is disloyal, or may be thought to be
disloyal, to give any attention to certain classes of ideas.
This has been backed up in this country by the long period
of military security classification 1941 to the present. In
connection with clearing a person for classified work, inquiries are made about the person's friends, associations,
and what he reads. There was a time when "he reads
about Russia" or "he reads about Communism" was derogatory information.
The application of computers to solving certain social
. and economic problems, such as eliminating unemployment, planning all industrial production, obtaining a rich
and abundant life for all people in the United States, minimizing waste and unnecessary scarcity, providing medical
and hospital care to everybody ~ would be considered
by many people in the United States to be disloyal and
suspect.
In the computer field, the advent of Sputnik I in Oc-·
tober 1957 caused a significant change. Interest in Russian
computer accomplishments, interest in machine translation
from Russian to English, has become widespread, perhaps
even fashionable. Today we teach Russian in many schools,
and over 10,000 Americans have purchased translations
of scientific Russian texts. In fact, achievements in the
computer field all over the world, both machines and applications, ought to be and are of interest to computer
people everywhere.
The epithet "disloyal" is of course not a sound argument
against a new idea.

13. "Outside of My Field"
Finally, one of the commonest forms of Opposltlon to
new ideas is the argument: "Well, that's outside my
field," "I am too busy," "I have no time," "I am not interested," "What's that to me?", etc.
This is one of the biggest sources of opposition to new
ideas. Here again, this is an entirely natural and inevitable
result of the complexity of the world. In the computer field,

44

already, a single scientist is no longer expected to be a
master of all the facets of a computer. Components are
one field, applications are another, programming is a third.
But no matter how much specialization inevitably proceeds, we must examine new ideas and keep in touch
with them. The computer people who worked on cathode
ray tube memory saw nearly all their work go out as
junk, when magnetic core memory arrived. At the Eastern
Joint Computer Conference in December there was much
talk of the "next generation" of computers, with new
solid-state devices.
No one can afford to stick consistently to the attitude
"not my concern," "not my field." This is the primrose
path to becoming extinct. Computer people, like all other
people who desire to live and flourish, must give thought
to new ideas, especially the new ideas with giant possibilities, such as the intercontinental ballistic missile with the
nuclear warhead, which in the world we live in is the
unpublicized, central underlying motive for pouring funds
into space travel.
14. The Intelligent Treatment of New Ideas
From time to time Computers and Automation has
put forward the idea that computer people are in reality
information engineers, engineers in the information sciences. This thesis is being confirmed more and more, it
seems, as the effect of handling information reasonably
and in great quantities and at high speeds reaches out to
more and more fields, such as translating from one
language to another.
Idea: If it is possible to teach a human being something, then it ought to be possible to teach essentially
the same thing to a machine.
Idea: If a human being can perform a certain intellectual process, then it ought to be possible to program
a machine to perform that process - and the more difficult the process, the more appropriate for the machine.
Idea: It ought to be possible to program machines to
handle ideas in discussion, simulating human beings.
Idea: It ought to be possible to educate machines to
know what human beings know as the result of the education of human beings.
Idea: It ought to be possible for a human being to
treat a new idea tentatively, inquiringly, appraising it
to determine objectively its degree of merit - and to
teach a machine to do as well or better.
Computer people, as information engineers, as experts in the information sciences, should have a particularly sensible and scientific attitude towards new ideas.

THE DEATH OF WALTER REUTHER:
ACCIDENTAL OR PLANNED?
EDMUND C. BERKELEY and
LEONARD WALDEN

PART 1.
EDMUND C. BERKELEY, EDITOR
COMPUTERS AND AUTOMATION
SUDDEN DEATH

About half past nine p.m., on May 9, 1970, a
chartered Lear Jet carrying Walter Reuther, the
President of the United Auto Workers, descended
from an overcast sky towards a rural landing field
in Onaway, Michigan, near Pellston, about 260 miles
northwest of Detroit. The plane struck a number of
trees, crashed, and burned, killing the entire
party:
- Walter Reuther;
- May Reuther, his wife;
- William Wolfman, of Detroit, his nephew and
bodyguard;
- Oskar Stonorov, a Philadelphia ~rchitect, who
was a friend and business associate of Mr.
Reuther; and
- George Evans, and G. (or J.) Karrafa, both of
Columbus, Ohio, the two pilots.
The news media reported the crash as an unfortunate accident, and as a dramatic and newsworthy
event. The New York Times, on Monday, May 11, published: (1) a full column story starting on page 1,
on the death of Reuther, the accident, and tributes
to him; (2) a full page account by Damon Stetson
covering Reuther's life, previous attacks on him,
and his accomplishments; and (3) a half column
story on Oskar Stonorov, architect, city planner,
and sculptor, of Phoenixville, Pa. Stonorov was
COMPUTERS and AUTOMATION for January, 1971

the designer of the United Auto Workers Family Education Center, a project dear to Walter Reuther
(a $14 million facility), due to open in July, and
located at Black Lake, near Onaway. This was where
the plane party was going on the fatal evening. None
of the news reports raised the question of possible
:sabotage of the plane or similar possibilities.
WALTER REUTHER'S OBJECTIVES

Walter Reuther was an outstanding champion of
the labor movement and progressive causes in the
United States. Damon Stetson, in his article,
said, among other things:
Mr. Reuther looked forward to the day when
the worker would spend less time on his job
and more time working on a concerto, a painting, or in scientific research. "Technological advances wi 11 make that possible", he
said. "In the future an auto worker may work
only 10 hours at the factory. Culture will
become his main preoccupation. Working for
a living will be a sort of a hobby." When
will this golden age of factory workerscomposers begin, he was asked. "I don't
know," Mr. Reuther replied, grinning. "But
it'll come sooner than the National Association of Manufacturers expects."
During negotiations with General Motors on
one occasion, a company official raised a
question about Walter Reuther's objectives.
... "If fighting for a more equal and equitable distribution of wealth in this country

COMPUTERS, SCIENCE, AND ASSASSINATIONS
Computers and Automation believes that the possibility of conspiracies in the assassinations of important American leaders in our times is of the utmost
interest and significance to every American - and
especially to computer people, because computers
can be used: to handle large amounts of information
easily; to correlate the information rapidly and accurately; to prove or disprove certain theories or possibilities of conspiracy; etc. Therefore, computer people can make a unique and important contribution to
society in this area. Already a computerized analysis
of information regarding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy is underway in Washington.

is socialistic," Mr. Reuther said, "I stand
gui lty of being a sociali st. "
An outstanding objective of Mr. Reuther's
union career was the attainment of a guaranteed annual wage for workers. Such a
guarantee, he declared, would attack the
problems of mass unemployment at the root
by shifting to the employer the cost of unemployment.
Mr. Reuther inspired an almost fanatical
loyalty among his subordinates, and was admired and liked by many in high places, including President Kennedy, Adlai E. Stevenson, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Vice President
Hubert H. Humphrey.
PRIOR A TT ACKS

Accordingly; Computers and Automation is publishing from time to time articles and reports on:
investigations into assassinations; the major evidence;
and the application of computers to the evidence.
Our purpose is to present important, useful, and
authoritative information objectively in order to find
out the truth. Since this subject is not receiving
adequate and compreliensive coverage anywhere else
that we know of, Computers and Automation has
taken the responsibility to publish.
No scientist, no honest man, ever refuses to consider new evidence or to correct errors. If corrections
are needed or new evidence appears, Computers and
Automation will publish both.
Following are the questions given to Leonard
Walden.

QUESTIONS FOR INVESTIGATION

Walter Reuther, and five more persons, died in
the crash of a private plane in Michigan some weeks
ago. The ba~ic question to be looked into is:
Was Walter Reuther deliberately murdered?
Following are a few questions which, if answered,
may throw some light on the basic question.
1.
2.
3.

Several attempts had been made on Reuther's
life since he became prominent in the 1930's.
In 1938 he was severely beaten in a labor dispute
at the Ford plant in Dearborn, Michiqan. In 1939
an armed attempt to kidnap him failed, when Reuther
fought off his attackers. In 1948, after he returned home from a bargaining session, Reuther was
shot in the chest and arm through his kitchen window, and was permanently disabled in part. Reuther
had good reason for keeping a bodyguard with him at
all times. So, in view of the attacks made on
Reuther'S life in the past, it is desirable to consider the question whether the plane crash that
killed Walter Reuther was accidental or intended.

5.

To try to answer this question, Computers and
Automation employed the services of a highly-qualified and well-recommended investigator who lives
in the Washington area. We are not at liberty to
name him, but we shall call him Leonard Walden.
We gave him a set of questio-ris (s--;; next column)
'
and asked him to look into them.

7.

This investigation was undertaken by Computers
and Automation for t~e simple reason that we know
of no other investigation and report on Walter
Reuther's death for the purpose of answering this
question -- accident or intent. However, the Federal Aviation Authority is investigating the plane
crash and will eventually submit its findings to
the National Transportation Safety Board for review, evaluation, and a final report. Their investigation, we understand, is still in progress.
Also we understand the FAA reports on accidents
are no longer made public, in order to protect
manufacturers and airlines.

Knowers. Who were the persons who knew
beforehand of Walter Reuther's plane trip?
When did they know?
Motives. Who were the persons who could gain
advantage from Reuther'S death?
Enemies. Had any of his actions during the
last few years particularly aroused the
fear or hatred of any groups or persons?
Have prior attempts to murder him occurred?
Planning Time. When was the fatal plane trip
planned? the day before? two weeks earlier? when?
Plane Determination. When was the Reuther
plane chosen or determined? For example,
did he customarily ask for and rent this
plane? (A common gangland murder device,
apparently, is a bomb attached to the ignition of the car that a man regularly
drives.)
Mechanics. Who were the mechanics who approved the plane before takeoff? Were
any of these men newly hired? Did any of
them leave employment shortly afterwards?
Altimeter. Could the altimeter of his plane
have been tampered with, so that it would
give too Iowa reading when the plane was
approaching the landing field? Could other
instruments have been tampered with?
Weather Information. Was faulty weather or
faulty flying information given to Reuther's pilots?
Final Recordings. The pilots were presumably in touch with the landing field in
northern Michigan before they approached
to land. Were there any final recorded
messages? What did these say?
Wreck Inspection. What has the wreck inspection shown so far?

Probably no one answer to anyone question will
answer the basic question. But it may well be that
COMPUTERS and AUTOMATION for January, 1971

the pattern of answers to these questions will enable a decision to be made whether or not to investigate further.
PART 2.
LEONARD WALDEN
INVESTIGATOR

Pursuant to our telephone conversation last week,
confirmed by your letter, I have conducted preliminary inquiry into those facets of the Walter Reuther death which you set forth in your memorandum.
I believe the points therein are very well taken.
While I have no full answers to the questions as
yet, I will discuss them by number to the degree
that my research has thus far proceeded.
1. Knowers. Large numbers of persons in the UAW
and probably other labor organizations, auto rental
firm, air charter service, architectural office,
and tradesmen at Black Lake Center undoubtedly knew
of, and/or expected the decedents to take, the
flight that ended in the deaths.
2. Motives. The persons who most obviously could
gain advantage from Mr. Reuther's death would probably have been the lesser officers in the UAW. The
immediate interim acting president was Secretary and
Treasurer Emil Mazey, who acted only until an election according to the by-laws was held. These bylaws provided that the directorate of 25 would elect
from their own membership the new president. They
elected Leonard Woodcock, who had been one of Reuther's four vice presidents.
Violence was nothing new to Mr. Reuther and his
UAW associates, and there were undoubtedly many
inter- and intra-union officials who had no reason
to grieve, foremost of whom would have been George
Meany, president of AFL/CIO, who had feuded bitterly
with Reuther and had lost the control of UAW in 1968
in a vigorous contest and disagreement.
These remarks, of course, do not assert or charge
in any way that these persons had anything to do
with Mr. Reuther's death. They simply are partial
answers to the question "Cui bono? - To whose advantage?"

3. Enemies. Walter Reuther, like other Union leaders, had many enemies both in and out of organized
labor, but particularly in. He was constantly on
the menacing side of the bargaining table and, in
fact, was preparing to negotiate the "big four"
wage talks in July of this year. Although he was
seemingly admired by the industry for his acumen,
he was also feared and sometimes hated. He did
what the UAW members paid him to do; and he probably was one of the greatest labor representatives
of all time; so obviously he aroused the hatred of
industry as every other negotiator does.
I have gotten no reading on his views of the Central Intelligence Agency; but he did oppose the Cambodian invasion openly, and so advised President
Nixon by telegram shortly before his death.
He had, in the past, denounced Government leaders
on the right, left, and in the middle. He had also
denounced Russia on their middle-east policy, Communism in the attempt to infiltrate his Union, and
recently had borne down hard on militant blacks
within his membership.
4. Planning. I have not pinned down the complete
circumstances of the planning of the fatal plane
trip. But I have ascertained that Mr. Reuther had
been going to Black Lake on weekends for several
weeks before his death; and he had used the same
charter service on several of these occasions, probably all.
5. Plane Determination. The plane was chartered by
him on this and probably other occasions from Executive Jet Corporation of Columbus, Ohio. It was a
Lear L-23 Jet, registry number N-23l, piloted by
G. Evans and co-piloted by G. Karrafa, both of

As for attempts to murder him: there had been
several that are known of and almost surely some
that are not known of. In 1938 he was severely
beate~ in a labor dispute at the Ford plant in Dearborn, and claimed that his attackers were paid
"goons" from the Ford Servicemen's group. A year
later he reported an armed kidnap attempt from which

Cleveland, Ohio. I believe that he had used this
aircraft and the same pilots before; but I am not
yet positive of this. I am positive that he had
many times before used a Lear Jet owned by the same
Executive Jet Corporation.
6. Mechanics. Again I have not ascertained positively who the mechanics were who serviced the plane
but I do know that they were not affiliated with UAW
although some aircraft mechanics are. It is my understanding that they were non-union mechanics. The
plane could have been serviced in Columbus, Cleveland, or Detroit.
7. Altimeter. The altimeter of the Lear Jet could
have malfunctioned either accidentally or by desiqn.
I have known of cases, althouqh they are rare, where
the pittot (orifice in the leading edge of the wing)
has failed to open properly, thereby giving an inaccurate reading. There are, of course, other instruments equally as important as the altimeter but
I am not at this point familiar enough with the nomenclature of the Lear Jet to comment with accuracy
on them.
8. Weather Information. Weather conditions in the
evening of May 9, 1970 were generally bad throughout
the Michigan area, although there was some flying
activity. There were flight delays and route changes in the commercial airline scheduling. I know of
one flight which, even at 30,000 feet, encountered
so much turbulence that the stewardesses had to remain buckled in their seats and could not perform
their duties.
The small rural landing field near Onaway, Michigan where the fatal crash occurred was not equipped
with G.C.A. (ground control approach) but there was
radio communication with the Reuther jet and it was
reported to have been normal. The field thought
that the plane was making a normal visual approach
but when it came out of the overcast it was too low.
It clipped the tops of some forty high trees adjacent to the strip; then attempted to regain altitude but had apparently suffered too much damage
from the trees. It stalled, then dived, striking
the ground at a 45-degree angle. There was no fire
or explosion until after it struck. I have the
names and addresses of three eye-witnesses as well
as that of the State Trooper who first arrived.
9. Final Recordings. See 8 above. There were apparently no recordings at this small airfield of the
radio contact; but the airport personnel reportedly
stated that they thought everything was normal.
10. Wreck Information. I have no information as yet
on what the mock-up did or will reveal. The FAA investigation is presumably still in progress and the
findings will be sub~itted to the National Transportation Safety Board for review, evaluation, and reporting. This will not be finished for some time,
but when it is I will get the report. This much I
do know as of now: there has been no hint to the
board of foul play. To me, and I'm sure to you,
this implies very little. If there was sabotage or
tampering, it would have been clever and concealed
so that it would not be revealed, unless a criminal
type of investigation were deemed necessary. To the
best of my knowledge at this point, that was not
even considered.
As you can see from the above attempt to answer
your questions, further detailed inquiry is needed.
At a social dinner shortly after Mr. Reuther's
death one 1 abor official remarked, ''Well, they
48

finally got Walter." I talked with another labor
official in Washington and he seemed disinclined to
say anything except that to him it was a clear case
of pilot error. He did acknowledge, though, that
the maintenance crews for Executive Jet Corporation
were not in his organization and he knew nothing
about them. He also said that the two pilots aboard
were "hot shot", ex-military, and probably rather
bold.
I made two trips to talk with certain knowledgeable people in Baltimore about what the rumblings
in the underworld are with regard to this thing.
Baltimore is a rather active UAW center. It seems
abundantly clear that AFL/CIO officials had bitter
times recently with UAW, and Reuther castigated
Meany publicly and privately many times in their
dispute over social ills which Reuther wanted
AFL/CIO to take into their consideration.
Organized labor has a history of bloodshed and
violence and Reuther was no stranger to it. lie was
hard-headed, dictatorial, and at the same time
humanitarian. The flight that led to his death was
directly connected with one of his social and human~
itarian ideals which he was about to see culminated.
The Black Lake project was well under way; and he
and the architect Oskar Stonorov were going to spend
that weekend finalizing the construction bugs. It
was a center for UAW members to attend on scholarships where they would study labor relations and
negotiating teChniques. There were recreational
facilities and quarters for their families, and it
was to be a dream come true for Reuther. He had
become so engrossed in it that he had been spending
weekends there with his wife and bodyguard just to
watch its progress. The bodyguard who died in the
crash was William WOlfman, Mrs. Reuther'S nephew.
On the evening of May 9, the plane waited half
an hour in Detroit airport for Stonorov, who was
late. As a result the plane descended for a landing
in Onaway half an hour later than the intended time.
The descent was in bad weather, with poor light, and
poor visibility. Because it was a jet, landinq
speed had to be high.
I do not have information at this time about the
altimeter; that question remains unanswered.
PART 3.
PRESENT APPRAISAL
EDMUND C. BERKELEY, EDITOR
COMPUTERS AND AUTOMATION

That the crash was an accident seems likely
but is not proved.
That the crash was intended or planned seems
possible -- but is not proved.
If there existed a plan by an enemy or enemies
of Walter Reuther to murder him, it would appear
that other possible teChniques more certain of accomplishment might have been used .. For example,
it would have been possible to arrange an ambush at
the airport. That would have been more certain of
success; and the assassins would have had a good
chance to escape because of the nature and the location of the airport far out in the country. But
that would have the great disadvantage of not appearing to be an accident.
If and when more information becomes available,
we will seek to report it in Computers and Automation.

The computerized sUlphur dioxide monitoring system was developed by N.V. Philips Gloeilampenfabrieken of Eindhoven.

APPLICATIONS
HOLLAND CONTROLS
CHEMICAL AIR POLLUTION
IN ROTTERDAM AREA

Holland apparently has discovered
a successful strategy for coping
wi th the discharge of poisonous
chemicals into the atmosphere. The
densely populated and highly industrialized region known as the Rijnmond, located between the harbors
of Rot terdam and the North Sea t ha s
at tracted a large number of oi 1 refineries, petrochemical and chemical
plants which constantly fill the atmosphere wi th various quanti ties
and types of pollutants.
One method employed to counter
air pollution here is constant
measurement of the atmospheric sUlphur dioxide content, which may be
taken as the norm for the total
pollution level. If this shows that
a fixed threshold value is being
exceeded (and if wi nds for rapid
clearing bf the pollution are not
imminent) a warning is sent out to
industry through a semaphore network.
A large number of restrictions will then be voluntarily imposed by industry on itself.
Thi rty-one detec tor mas ts, located in the Rij nmond region and
popularly dubbed "sniffing poles",
test the air 64 times each hour for
the dreaded S02.
Their findings
are reported electronically via
telephone lines to a computer at
the warning center at Schiedam. By
compari ng the average val ues wi th
calculated values from the same
measuring points at the same time
on a previous day, a figure is obtained that indicates the trend of
the alteration in the S02 content
at each indi vidual measuring point.

Recently, the amount of sulphur
compounds in the atmosphere above
the region has gone down significantly. The quanti ties of ni trogen
oxides have been maintained at a
constant level.
Much of the success achieved by the air pollution
measuring network in the Rijnmond
region is due to the close cooperation between the industries concerned and the Rijnmond authori ties,
even though this cooperation still
is voluntary.
NINE MAJOR NYC BANKS
ARE USING IIELECTRONIC MONEY"
NETWORK, KNOWN AS CHIPS

Nine major banks in New York Ci ty
are using a computerized communications network that handles interbank
transfers of 15 to 20 billion dollars
a week. The transfers involve over
3,000 separate transactions a day
on behalf of foreign banks wi th a
total of more than 4,000 accounts.
John F. Lee, executive vice president of the New York Clearing House
Association (NYCHA) which runs the
computerized system for NYCHAmember
banks, believes it represents the
first true use of "electronic money"
within the commercial banking system.
A typical example of an interbank
trans fer could be a European bank
ordering transfer of an amount of
money from its account ina New
York bank, wi th which it has corres-

essary for interbank payments
and has eliminated the need for
messengers to move these checks
over the streets in Lower Manhat tan's
financial district.
"With CHIPS", Mr. Lee said, "we
have conquered the technological
aspects of an 'electronic money'
system, an.d the p,ath is now clear

AIR FRANCE'S $20 MILLION
ALPHA 3 RESERVATION 'SYSTEM
AVERAGES 3 SECOND RESPONSES

The Alpha 3 reservation system,
recently inaugurated by Air France
(Paris), handles a daily traffic
volume of 200,000 to 300,000 mess ages. At peak times the compu ters
process 36,000 messages per hour.
An average reservation request can
be completed by the computer and a
response transmi t ted to the booking agent in three seconds.
Besides the Air France reservations, the Alpha 3 system also handles interairline reservations for
passengers transferring from Air
France to connecting ai rlines, automobile rentals, and hotel reservations.
The system also provides
information, on request, concerning
fares, customs, health and. police
formali ties in the various countries
served by Air France.
Ai r France's $20 million computercomplex is centered around three
Sperry Rand UNIVAC 1108 Multiprocessor computers installed in the
airline's computer center in Paris.
An 18,000 mile communications network links the computer center with
offices in 18 European and four
North American cities having 70
visual displays and 120 teletype
terminals used by reservation agents.
In the near future, additional cities
in Europe, North Africa and the rest
of the world wi 11 be added to the
network.

WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION
LAUNCHES GLOBAL POLLUTION
DETECTION SYSTEM

The World Health Organization
(WHO) has worked for 15 years to get
international approval of an air
pollution detection and warning
system. The go-ahead finally came
in May 1970 at the 23rd World Health
Assembiy. Working with the health
specialists are experts at the World
Meteorological Organization (WMO) which, like WHO, is a specialized
agency of the United Nations. The
WMO, concentrating on what are considered still unpolluted areas of

49

the world, will keep track of what
is termed "background pollution."
WHO's task is to collect and analyze data on real pollution in the
ci ties and other populated areas
and to issue warnings whenever necessary.
The system selected is
similar" to WHO's influenza warning
program.
The air pollution system is based
on: two international centers, in
London and Washington; three regional centers, in Moscow, Nagpur and
Tokyo; and 20 laboratories situated
in strategic points around the globe.
WHO's computer will receive worldwide data on air pollution levels
caused by the six major pollutants
selected last October by 30 international experts. These are: (l)
sulphur dioxide; (2) particles such
as' dust, soot, etc.;" (3) carbon
monoxide; (4) oxidants (which resuI t from reactions induced by sunlight on automobile exhaust); (5)
ni trogen oxides (also emitted by
motor vehicle exhaust and central
heating systems; and, (6) lead, a
highly toxic product added to motor
fuel to prevent "knocking".
SHO's computer will compare reported levels of these pollutants
to the danger levels programmed
into it by heal th experts and sound
the alarm where necessary.

SMALL COMPUTER TRANSLATES
PRESCRIPTION DATA INTO
EYEGLASS LENSES
Aniseikonia, according to Webster's Dictionary, "is a condition,
whereby the image of an obj ect
formed in one eye differs in size
or shape from the image of the other
eye. It is an anomaly of binocular
vision, whereby the ocular images
of the two eyes differ in size, in
shape, or in both."
At American Optical Corporation,
Ophthalmic Lens Development Department (Southbridge, Mass.), a Digital
Equipment Corporation PDP-8/Ismall
computer is solving complex calculations so that Aniseikonic prescription information can be trnaslated into instructions to be used
in the eyeglass lens fabrication
process.
When the ophthalmologist or optometrist prescribes magnification
as well as refractive corrections,
an Aniseikonic lens is used. These
correc tions are required by the Aniseikonic patient, who in many instances, cannot function normally
in his study or work wi thout such
special corrective lenses. Complex
Aniseikonic prescription calculations are further r complicated because there are many corrective
solutions. The PDP-8/1 is replacing a programmable desk-type calculator. The small computer permits
a much higher degree of reliabil i ty.

CONSTRUCTION OF NATIONAL
ACCELERATOR LABORATORY
MONITORED BY COMPUTER
An IBM Sys tem/360 Model 75 at
Argonne National Laboratory is helping monitor construction of the
buildings and other conventional
structures of the" world's largest
scientific research instrument the National Accelerator Laboratory.
The computer tracks the progress of
12,000 activities ranging from the
pouring of concrete for sidewalks
to building an enclosure for a ring
of special magnets in the accelerator system that will be l~ miles
in diameter.
The magnets are the
main component of the research instrument, a 200 billion electron
volt proton synChrotron.
The accelerator will be used to explore
the fundamental structure of matter.
The four-year construction effort
is scheduled for completion in 1972
at acost of $250 million. The Labora tory, loca ted about 30 miles wes t
of Chicago, is operated by a group
of 51 universi ties for the U.S.

EDUCATION NEWS
UNDERSTAND COMPUTERS BY
PLAYING "BUGS & LOOOPS"
An M. 1. T. computer expert and his
wife have developed a new game Bugs &Looops. The game's developers
feel that it is important for all
of us whose lives are increasingly
influenced by computers to understand what they can and cannot do.
They chose a game to explain computers because, as they put it, "A
game doesn't scare people."
Originally designed to give computer experience to students in
schools wi thout computers, Bugs &
Looops is based on a very simple
computer that the players operate
by hand. The computer uses colors
instead of numbers. Bugs & Looops
teaches the bas ic ideas involved in
computers in gradual steps.
The kit includes a series of
four games, each slightly more complex than the last. The first game
in the series can be played by
eight year olds, while the full

game is challenging to adults. The
game", ki t contains 8 transparent
plastic cubes, a pad of programming
sheets, a computer board, and an
easy to understand instruction and
educational booklet.
It is manufactured by Creative Specialties,
Inc., 83 Prospect Street, West
Newton, Mass. 02165.

COMPUTER·ASSISTED INSTRUCTION
IN THE RIGHT·TO·LEFT ARABIC
WRITING SYSTEM
A computerized instruction system in the right-to-left Arabic
wri ting system is in operation at
The University of Texas. Dr. Victorine Constantin Abboud devised
the computer-assisted instruction
program as her doc toral dis sertation at oT Austin.
Her ini tial
problem was the widely held belief
that computers did not or would not
wri te from right to left. Secondly,
there was no graphic pattern - much
less a type set in exis tence - for
transferring the Arabic script and
cursive systems into computer language.
The Arabic alphabet has 28 letters.
Of those, 22 letters have
three forms and six can have two
forms each, depending on their position in a word.
Add to that the
fact that diacritical points and
slashes further contribute to Arabic
call igraphy as a fine art in itself.
Dr. Abboud drew in the letters by
filling in square areas on a pattern.
In efforts to eliminate all extra
drawings which could be spared, she
developed an overlay technique so
that a letter section could be used
in making up several letters. Her
graphic des igns and overlay techniques alone form a significant
contribution, but she developed a
viable learning system as well.
Dr. Abboud buil t her CAl, program around the order of learning itself - listening, speaking,
reading and wri ting.
"After the
first hour the student can write
words wi th a sense of accomplishmen t," Dr. Abboud says. After jus t
the first explanatory material, he
is saying Arabic words.
The program is broken into four cycles.
A student can learn in from four to
eight hours of CAl program and four
hours classroom instruction material
tha t consumed up to six weeks of
classroom instruction. One student
became so intrigued wi th the fun
that learning can be that on his
second visi t to the CAl lab he
brought three friends with him.
To measure how the instruction
compared with other instruction
methods, UT Aus tin beginning Arabic
students wi th 12 class hours of instruction including the CAl program

COMPUTERS and AUTOMATION for January, 1971

were comparison tested wi th students
from Georgetown University and the
Universi ty of Michigan. Though the
students at the latter two schools
had completed 24 to 30 class hours
of instruction, the UT Austin students "had much better sound discrimination and writing skills,"
their professor found. The program
has been studied by many visi ting
scholars including a group interested in the pooling of U.S. and European CAl information.
The possibility of using the program as an
introductory part of Arabic language training for servicemen has
been suggested by the Department
of Defense.

fi rs t maj or breakthrough in electronics since the introduc tion of
integrated circuits, will cut down
the size of computers to one-tenth
that of current models and also
increase computing speed 20 times.
The average order processing speed
would be stepped up to 200 nsec or
five million computations per second. The LSls will have an average
propagation delay time at each circui t "gate" of 1.1 nsec - the fastest to date.
An enlarged view of the new LSI,
in the photo below, shows 10 emitter
coupled logic (ECL) chips bonded to
the multi-layer printed substratum
by ultrasonic waves - a new technique developed by Hi tachi.
The

to 10,000 units monthly.

RESEARCH FRONTIER
SPEECH "TAILORED" FOR
TALKING COMPUTERS
Recent work by three Bell Laboratories scientists makes it practical to s tore large vocabularies
of synthetic speech in talking computers. L. R. Rabiner, R. W. Schafer
and J. L. Flanagan have devised a
method of producing computer-spoken
synthetic speech using about 1/50th
the amount of dig i tal information
normally required. The method includes the techniques of speech
analysis, concatenation (linking
words together, and synthesis and
is a research toward providing computers wi th a practical means for
supplying answers by voice.
Individual words spoken by a
human are analyzed, converted into
numerical information, and stored
in a computer. Pre-programmed instructions tell the machine to link
the stored data into the numerical
equi valen t of sentences, and then
convert this dig i tal information
into synthetic speech.
This synthetic speech can be fed to an ordinary loudspeaker or transmi t ted over
a conventional telephone sys tem.
Different sounding speech can be
produced by telling the computer
to lengthen or shorten words; insert
pauses; and superimpose pitch variations for the sentence.
When computers are able to talk
as easily as they now can print or
display information, they may provide a whole new range of communications services.

OBJECTS DETECTED BY A NEW
MAGNETIC SEARCHER
A magnetic searcher, developed
by the Schonstedt Instrument Co. of
Reston, Va., detects ferromagnetic
obj ec ts on a pers on pas sing between
two stands or through a doorway.
The device, designated Model SD-2
Magnetic Surveillance System, consists of two stands containing sensi tive magnetic-field sensors, an
electronic uni~ and a signal bulb.
Magnetic material carried by a person passing between the. stands
lights a bulb at a remote station.
The SD-2 is sufficiently sensitive
'to detect keys, watch bands, etc.'
However, its sensitivity canbe adjusted with a simple control todetect only larger objects.

Hi tachi, Ltd. of Japan has announced the development of an ul tra
high-speed, large-scale integrated
circuit. The LSls, considered the

COMPUTERS and AUTOMATION for January, 1971

The stands (which are positioned
up to four feet apart) each contain sensors for head to foot detection capabilities.
The sensor
poles are readily removable from

their bases for mounting around
doorways (metal door frames do not
significantly affect SD-2's performance). The cord for the remote indicator plugs into the electronic
uni t and can be any length.
The
device is placed into operation by
operating a toggle switch,pressing
a pushbutton, and zeroing the meter.
the SD-2 is passive in performance
and does not radiate energy or fields
which affect magnetic tape or photographic film. Various options are
available for permanent and concealed installations.
Uses inc 1 ude detec tion of weapons
carried by persons en tering aircraft
loading ramps, courtrooms, prison

The seareher
also detects magnets or magnetized
articles being carried into compu ter tape storage areas, or iron
or steel parts removed from an assembly room.

may lurk on computer
room floors to discharge
and cause malfunctions
Recent research Indicates that personnel
walking across non-conductive computer room
floors can develop undetectable low voltage
static charges. These voltages can discharge
to the computer causing malfunctions and
possible errors. Static charges also develop
in high speed printers, all heavy foot traffic
areas, etc.
An inexpensive preventative step is to apply
one of these highly effective anti-static
chemicals:
1) STATIC-STOP 'R2' for all tile, wood and
hard floors, waxed and unwaxed. Simply mop
on. Eliminates static and can prevent build-up
for 3 weeks and more. Meets mfgrs. recommendations for floor conductivity. One gallon
treats approx. 5,000 sq. ft. One Gallon: $8.75.
Five Gallons: $42.50. FOB Chicago.
2) SHOCK-GUARD for all natural and synthetic carpeting and rugs. One spray application immediately kills static charges and can
prevent build-up for entire static season (6-7
months). Also cuts cleaning costs and prolongs carpet life. Shields surface against low
and variable humidity conditions which accelerate static development. One Quart (in
ready-to-use spray bottle) treats up to 25 sq.
yds.: $2.98. Or C-4 concentrate package mixes
with tap water to yield 4 gals. to treat up to
400 sq. yds.: $20. FOB Chicago.

PROBLEM 711: CHRYSTAL OR CRYSTAL

A "numble" is an arithmetical problem in which: digits
have been replaced by capital letters; and there are two
messages, one which can be read right away and a second
one in the digit cipher. The problem is to solve for the
digits.
Each capital letter in the arithmetical problem stands for
just one digit 0 to 9. A digit may be represented by more
than one letter. The second message, which is expressed in
numerical digits, is to be translated (using the same key)
into letters so that it may be read; but the spelling uses
puns or is otherwise irregular, to discourage cryptanalytic
methods of deciphering.
We invite our readers to send us solutions, together with
human programs or computer programs which will produce
the solutions. This month's Numble was contributed by:
Stuart Freudberg
Newton High School
Newton, Mass.

"Now, what do you make of that?", asked Harry,
pointing to a flow chart on the blackboard.

"I don't know", Jack replied. "Is this our next

"No. It was left from the previous class. Maybe it's a

Solution to Numble 7012

Solution to Problem 7012: The Busy Programmer

In Numble 7012 in the December issue, the digits 0
through 9 are represented by letters as follows:
A,U= 0
1=5
S=1
0=6
D=2
N=7
E=3
T=8
H,R = 4
C,F,M = 9

The number on the' program representing the year and
date was 68196. This corresponded to July 14, 1968.

The message is: Discretion is the handmaiden of truth.
