Notre Dame, shackled by Navy's
heavy line Saturday in a 32-to-13
defeat, probably will enter the Army
game, for which all seats were sold
In August, as the underdog.
The Cadets, who fiattened Villa

83-to-0 score while their head coach
and both first-string fullbacks were
absent, haven't scored against Notre
Dame since 1898 and haven't tri-
umphed in the series with the South
Bend Ramblers since 1881.
Army Seeking Revenge.
This year, however, tha, Cadets
are after revenge. They have rolled
over six rivals at exactly a point-a-
minute clip and have permitted only
three touchdowns to be registered
against them. A week ago they were
rated the No. team in the land.
While some 1900 spectators will
jam their way into the stadium and
millions of other fans will follow
the, game from afsr, the contest
isn't the only one of Importance
Saturday.
Mississippi State, leader in the
Southeast circuit since its 26-to-O
verdict over Kentucky, and twice
beaten Auburn, winner by 57-to-O

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Aug. T.
The worlds greatest mathematical
calculating machine, a device which
will produce accurate answers to
innumerable problems, will be pre-
sented to Harvard University today.
The apparatus, to be used by the
Navy for the duration. will explore
vast fields in pure mathematics and
in all sciences previously hampered
by incessively intricate and time
consuming calculations.
Employing a unique automatic
sequence control, the device will
solve practically any known problem
in applied mathematics. When a
problem is presented to the Sc
quence control in coded tape form,
the machine will carry out solutions
accurate to % significant figures.
In charge of the calculator is the
inventor, Comdr. Howard H. Aiken,
USNR, who worked out the theory
which made the machine possible.
Comdr. Aiken, a University of
Wisconsin and Harvard graduate
began work on the device in 1885.
Two wears of research were re-
quired to develop the basic theory,
while six years of design, construc-
ton and testing were necessary to
transform the original idea into a
completed machine.
The work was carried on at the
engineering laboratory of the I. B. M.
at Endicott, N. Y.
There are 500 miles of wire, 3O0O,-
600 wire connections, $500 null
tiple relays with $4,000 contacts,
|2,225 counters, and tiers of 72 add
ing machines, in the machine, which
is 81 feet long and feet high.

Although Brig. Gen Frank Merrill
has been transferred to a post in
Handy because of i'll health, his
famous American infantry force
known as Merrill's Marauders is still
fighting somewhere in the field
in Burma, an official announcement
said yesterday.
The announcement emphasized
that Gen. Merrill's transfer was
in no way connected with an inquiry
into the return of convalescent
raiders to duty during the battle OF
Myitkyina, which an official in
vestigation said had caused a break
down in Marauder morale.
That investigation was reported
closed with recommendation that
no action be taken beyond recti-

the breakdown.
The Marauder unit has received
replacements and has been in
corporated into larger Allied

the original members have been
given preference for rotation trans

10 Press Army for
Hotel Lease Details
BY the Associated Press.

BY the ASSOCIATED Press.
Two members of the Senate
War Investigating Committee today
planned to call on the Army to ex-
plain why 1t was turning several
large Hotels already converted to
use as hospitals back to their owners
while seeking to obtain others for
use as rest homes for returned vet
Grams.
Senator Kilgore, Democrat. of
West Virginia said he and Senator
Ferguson, Republican, OF Michigan
both members of the war investi-
eating group-were making "thor-
ough check" Of the matter. The
committee, it was recalled, already
has issued one report that was
sharply critical Of the Army's policy
on leasing hotels.
I'VE are investigating reports the
Army Is trying to obtain several
large hotels to convert into rest
centers for war veterans, and at the
same time is disposing Of some
luxury hotels already converted"
Senator Kilgore said.
Will Urge Reconsideration.
The committee will be asked this
week, he said, to urge the Army to
reconsider its decision to return to
the owners the former Breakers
Hotel, now the Ream General Hos
pital, at Palm Beach, Fla.
They'll have to show us its
cheaper to obtain other properties
and convert them into hospitals than
it is to keep one already in full use,'
Senator Kilgore asserted. I'VE are
not satisfied with this situation"
The Breakers Hotel was the sub
ject of considerable controversy this
spring, and Senator Pepper, Demo-
crat, of Florida once asked Presi-
dent Roosevelt to intervene, con-
tending the Army was catering to
special interests" by returning the
property to the owners.
The Army at that time reconsid-
cred its decision, but after study by
special board announced that The
Breakers would be returned to the
owners December II.
Trade Body Protests.
The committeeman also expect to
study interest of the Army in hotels
at several other places, including
Asheville, N. c.; Hot Springs, Ark;
Lake Placid, N. Y, and San
Francisco.
The San Francisco Chamber of
Commerce already has protested to
Government officials against any
such action there, where the Army
is reported eyeing the Mark Hop
kins, Sir Francis Drake, st. Francis
and Fairmont Hotels.
In its earlier report on Army real
estate transfers, the Senate COM
mittee declared there have been
too many changes of mind "'' the
Army negotiations were conducted
in manner which was overbearing
and inconsistent with fair dealing"
Senator Kilgore said the COM
mittee probably would consider the
issue this week at its first meeting
since Senator Mead, Democrat, of
New York succeeded Senator Tru-
man, Democrat, Of Missouri as
chairman.
