EIectronic
Shorthand
Is Developed

NEW YORK, Nov. 9 Up
A new kind of electronic short
hand, done in green light, which
translates spoken words direct
ly and instantly into readable
patterns on a television screen,
is the first spectacular postwar
gift Of science.
The electronic tubes write the
new language by method per-
fected by the Bell Telephone
laboratories here. The tubes not
only write in instantaneous light,
but also print the new form of
language on paper.
The new language is useful for
the totally deaf and also will
aid deaf children to learn how to
speak so that they can be un-
derstood.
The electronic robots write
also music, noise, dialect. Any
language whatever and bird
songs. They can write across
ten thousand miles of ordinary
telephone circuit as easily as in
the same room. They could be
used for automatic telephone
recording, except that it takes
person about two years to
learn =, this new language. But
the translator is a new tool for
analyzing sound of all kinds and
correcting both the speech faults
Of human beings and the me-
chanical failures of transmitted
words.
Every sound, no matter how
slightly different, makes its own
distinctive pattern. The char
acters resemble shorthand done
in fat and sometimes fuzzy
strokes. The word sure" looks
like diving plane. Laughter is
row of feathers. The sound OF
S is a broad whiplash curtain.
At the first demonstration an
audience saw the words of some
of its members on the screen.
They heard girls who had stud
led the light language for a year
and half translate readily.
Edgar Bloom, Jr., born stone
deaf, college educated, who got
along by lip reading, learned in
10 months for the first time in
his life to speak so that strang-
ers could understand him. He
does not know how his own
voice sounds, but the light
shorthand enabled him to learn
how to use his vocal organs.
One Of his hardest jobs was
to learn to say EIGHT" so the
elevator operator in the tele-
hone laboratories could under
stand. He works there and eight
is the paymaster's floor. For a
long time he would speak an
other floor, which he could
enunciate, and then walk the
rest of the way up.
The electronic tubes translate
the pitch, loudness and length
of a sound into electric current
and then into light shaped to
represent each sound. They rep
resent the principle by which
scientists hope some day to be
able to build typewriters that
will write words spoken to
them In a microphone.

Military Tribunal
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-Trial of
the two alleged Nazi agents appre-
hended by the FBI after they
landed on the Maine coast from a
submarine November 29, may be
before a military tribunal.
President Roosevelt said in Wash
ington yesterday he assumed they
would be tried in the same way as
the eight German agents captured
in 1912. They were tried in secret
by commission of Army officers
which sentenced six to death and
two to life imprisonment.
The President said a grand job
had been done in picking up the
two men. He said it was thought
only the two came ashore, but there
is no certainty of that and the
FBI and Army and Navy are con-
tinuing their vigilance.
The Justice Department said a
decision on the type of charges or
trial probably would not be an
nounced for another "a hours.
The prisoners, William c. Cole
paugh, 26, American-born, and Erich
Gimpel, 81, native of Germany, are
held in New York by the FBI.
The only statement on the case
issued by the FBI was by Inspector
Earl Connelley, who said the two
men were seen by 17-year- old
schoolboy and woman shortly
after they slipped ashore near Han
cock Point in Frenchlnan's Bay, Me
The FBI inspector said young
Harvard Hodkgins spotted the men
walking along a highway near the
Maine fishing village in heavy
snowstorm. Mrs. Mary Forni, also
a Hancock Point resident, saw the
men near her home, Connelley
added.
Neither report, however, reached
the FBI until December 4 during
special FBI investigation, Mr.. Con-
nelley said, adding that the stories
corroborated earlier leads which the
FBI was following.

Colonel Kenneth H. Leitch, state di-
rector of selective service, Tuesday
ordered California draft boards to

in the state between the ages of 18
and SO new rated as 4-F.
Leitch explained JIIaJ many of
these men are working in war in
dustry but occupational deferments
have not been sought for them by
their employers because it was
known that the army did not have
the power to draft from the 4-F
class.
However, a national service act
covering 4-F men is contemplated
and if men who are entitled to oc-
cupational deferment are not moved
to their proper classification they
may be pulled off of their jobs un-

The landings were made
Tuesday and American losses
in the operation were "insig-
nlficant," Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur announced.
The invasion came 82 days
after the Americans went
into the Philippines at Leyte
and it put them into the home
stretch on the long road back
to Bataan, Corregidor and
Manila.
The announcement of the
landings ended a three-day
"war of nerves" by Tokyo
which on Saturday made the
first mention that the Amen.
cans were preparing to g)
into Luzon, largest of the
Philippines archipelago.
The invasion was preceded
by an almost two-week aerial
attack by land-based bomb
ers and navy carrier pls nes
which churned up Luzon's
scores of airfields, railroads
and japanese troop concen-
tration areas.
1t was exactly two years
and nine months ago Turs-
day that the gallant Ameri-
can and Filipino defenders
of aBtaan Welded on Anril
8, 1912 before the crushing
weight of a japanese army
of approximately 100000
men. Corregidor fell on May
6, 1912.
The invasion, which ex-
tended the American ground
lines to within 525 miles of
the China coast, capped a
5300-mile march across the
Pacific from Pearl Harbor
and a drive of $3.50 miles
northward from Port Mores-
by back to the Philippines
in September of 1912.
