Mathematical Wizard Shomes
Adding Machines With Speed
Formula Would Aid
On U. S. Budget,
Prof. Krieger Says

A 37-year-old native of Poland
tuggled mathematical problems at
the Ambassador Hotel today with
speed that beats logarithmic tables
slide rules and calculating machines
at their fastest.
He once worked out the 3,500000th
power of 65, ,419.876 in three minutes,
a problem that takes "a hours by
longhand.
Its easy" he said. Il could teach
you in IS minutes"
Prof. Samuel I. Krieger, now in
Washington to lecture on simplify
ing mathematical problems, has
amazed the world with his ability
to handle figures. Books, magazine
and newspaper articles have been
written on him.
Among those he stumped with his
formula, he said, was Albert Einstein
who said of him: Prof. Krieger is
the greatest genius in mathematics
and the greatest mathematical mind
7 have ever seen in my life. There
is no electrical machine that can
compete with him in figures"
He can give any of the trigonomet-
ric functions without tables. He
can take any date in history and
Ike a flash, mentally compute on
what day of the week it fell.
Prof. Krieger began as a bank
clerk in Hamburg. He was just out
of high school, and the scope of his
mathematical mind already was in
evidence. After year, the bank
president sent him to Goettingen
University, but there were no classes

Fleming Raps Proposals
To Lenqthen 40-Hour Week
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, Jan. ll.-PropoSals
to lengthen the basic work week be-
yond 40 hours without overtime pay
were sharply criticized today by Col
Philip B. Fleming, wage-hour ad-
ministrator.
In an address prepared for de-
livery before the annual meeting of
the National Consumers League Col
Fleming said objections 70 the 40
hour basic work week were coming
not so much from manufacturers as
from "sideline theorists"
He said virtually no difficulty was
being experienced by manufacturers
under the present wage-hour stand
ards, and contended that the pres
ence Of an enormous idle labor sup
ply and the existence of adequate
programs for the training of skilled
labor are two compelling arguments
for retaining present Standards
1T seems reasonable to me that if
we are going to ask labor to sacrifice
some of its leisure time in the inter-
ests of national defense" he added,
we have a right to ask capital to
make a corresponding sacrifice In
terms of slightly higher labor costs.
That is what the law requires
and I believe it is also the adjust
ment that the democratic spirit calls
for"

shipping with beneficial results

ployes.'
Instead Of utilizing the present
situation to build the American mer-

wanton sale and transfer of vessels
has enabled foreign operators to en-
ter into direct and serious competi-
ton with American shipping at
American expense"
