Robot Gun Aim Weopon Revealed

Rochester, N. Y. Jan. l8-(UP)- An eight-foot high steel robot" known as the Gun Director Mark 57, gave American ships blind-firing power against aerial attacks late in the war. The Navy and the East man Kodak Company revealed to- day.
 The director utilized both radar and optical sighting devices and was first installed on the battleship Missouri and the cruisers Alaska and Guam, the announcement said. Manufacture of the device, to be installed on other United States naval vessels, is being continued at Kodak's Camera Works plant.
 The Mark ST directs guns which fire shells containing proximity fuse and enables gunners to follow an enemy plane by night and day through clouds and fog. The de- vice provided defense against dusk and night attacks of the Japanese and against Kamikaze attacks.
 A rotary device, the Mark 57 can be kept on a moving target con. tinuously, it was pointed out.

Town Line Sets Election Dote

Town Line, N. Y., Jan. l8.--(UP) Town Line, the last Confederate stronghold in the United States will vote to join the union next Thursday.
 And if the village votes for af- filiation with the U. S., movie stars Cesar Romero and Martha Stew art will help raise the stars and stripes over the antiquated black smith shop where the secession ord- finance was signed in 1861.
 Town Line never officially joined the Union after the Civil War and since that time it has struggled along, community without a coun- try. Last October, however, Town Lines repealed the act of secession, ending 84 years of allegiance to the Confectionery.
 A civic holiday has been pro- claimed for the day of the ballot ing and the voting will be preceded by the world premier of "Col. Ef- fingham'S Raid" a motion picture starring Romero and Miss Stewart. The movie emphasizes national unity.

Tone Defends Lobor's Right
 Producers Need
 Consuming Power

Hartford, Jan. l8-(UP)-Defense of labor's right to seek higher wages came from Joseph M. Tone, former State Commissioner of Labor and now a U. s. Labor Department consultant.
 You know very well that most people in this country want to work. They're happiest when they're employed" Tone said.
 Calling the workers the nations producers, he added:
 We must have the consuming power come back to the producer. If we don't, we're going to have Stagnation and glut."
 The former labor commissioner asserted the rate of production maintained during the war could be continued. But, he said, this de- pended upon the workers ability to buy the goods they produced.
 MT. Tone was talking about the increased cost of living.
 why, a few years ago one price would have brought you two pork chops, and now the same price gets you only one pork chop" he said.
 The statement caused an out- break of laughter and a friendly suggestion from one of his audience to:
 Make it lamb chops"
 Tone accepted the amendment and continued his speech before the Brotherhood of Emanuel Syna- gogue.

against the owner of the poolroom where the machines were being made. As the case to be dramatized on FAMOUS JURY TRIALS, to- night at 9 D. m, over WATR-ABC, developed before the jury, disclosures were made that shocked the entire community.
 The actual case of a kidnapper who murdered his own wife while holding his victim as prisoner will be dramatized during the WATR- ABC broadcast of Jerry Devine's THIS IS YOUR FBI this evening at S:30 D. m. The crime, in the headlines not so long ago, was committed by a mountaineer who Kidnapped a young girl whose par ents were no better off than average financially.
 Swooners owe their success to hypnotism. So says sherman II. Dryer, producer and director of the popular MBS science series, "EX- ploring the Unknown" which dram atizes the subject of hypnosis on Sunday, Jan. 20. According to Dryer, the style of singing employed by a Sinatra, with its slow beat and whis- pered phrases, is almost identical with the method of professional hypnotists. "rhe strange symptoms we see in bobby-soxers," adds Dryer, can also be observed in hypnotized patients"

foul" He had an aversion to be- ing belted anywhere below the hair line. Johnston admitted it, too, once telling a lady who wanted to kroW whether the fight game was on the square.
 Lady, legitimate business is a figure of speech. Phil Scott made more sitting down than your hus- band ever made standing up."
 Black Eye on Truth
 And then there was Gypsy Daniels-a Welshman. The same Johnston dolled the Gypsy up in brass earrings-which really were curtain rings bought from a dime store-and two real bandannas. Therefore, British boxing got an- other black eye off the "Gypsy's" performances when the truth leaked out.
 So here comes another from the rock-ribbed isles, a husky young fellow who looks good in the gym.

By OSCAR FRALEY

New York, May g. (UP)-The British are, famed for winning the last fight, with 8 certain cooked hat exception, but at the moment they can't understand why they won't win the first one-Bruce Woodcock's American debut at Madison Square Garden on Fri day night of next week.
 Woodcock is the British empire heavyweight champion who will go against Tami Mauriello, a fat boy from the Bronx. All Mauriello has to recommend him are two losses to light heavyweight King Gus LeSnevich; series of brawls with other melodies in the beak- busting trade and a supposed desired but never realized setto with Joe Louis
 Still Woodcock winner of all of his 25 f1ghtS-24 by kayoes-is the underdog.
 Whats Wrong Demanded
 When word of this got to Lon don, Woodcock's manager, Tom Hurst, had several indignant tele- phone calls from the city on the Thames. What the British public demanded, was the matter with Woodcock?
 The answer is, to date, nothing.
 The real trouble, lies with the rest of the British fighters who have appeared heretofore in these United States. They were even worse than the guys they had at Yorktown.
 Americas pugilistic public made those odds strictly on the premise that even Mauriello couldn't be worse than the fainting fighters from Britain. On the whole they have shown more variations of horizontal relaxation than the sleeping beauty mattress company.
 Seldom Come Through
 They were many and highly dated, those British boxers, but sel- dom did they come through. A few of the worst who come to mind quickly when you consider boxing boredom are Bombardier Billy Wells, Painting Phil Scott, Gypsy Daniels, Tommy Farr. Dan Mo- Corkindale and Jack Pettifer.
 The Bombardier had only one weakness when he was exposed to the crude but hearty punches of his entertain American cousins. Billy had glass chin.
 Scott hardly would have been footnote in pugilism's record book If it hadn't been for the throaty exertionS of another Englishman, the late Jimmy Johnston. Little Jimmy talked a great fight and his ballyhoo kept Scott up for the big purses.

Sacred Heort Nine e10-1 Over
 Thomnosfon

Coach Roy "Duster" Murphy's Sacred Heart High baseball com- bine clinched its second victory in as many starts, behind the excellent 2-hit pitching Of 'Lanky" Lou Cap peletti, smothering Thomastofl. 10 to 1, at Hamilton Park yesterday afternoon. The Sacred Heart mounosman went the seven inning route striking out seven Thomas ton sluggers and issuing only three bases on balls, while Bill Conway, the visiting hurler, struck out five oatters, issued four walks and went down in the books as the losing pitcher due to seven costly mis- cues of his teammates.
 Big Tally
 Tn the sixth inning the Hearts, spurred on by Billy Walsh,s double with no outs, scored 9 runs on two hits, four walks and two Thomas ton errors, to break the deadlock which existed from the third in- ming when Thomaston knotted the count at one all. In this frame Walsh led off with a double, which was followed by walk to Geary, with both boys completing g double steal in the ensuing minutes. Doc" Murphy then hit a one base bingle into short center field to score Walsh and Geary with two Heart tallys. Dick Healy coaxed Conway for base on balls and stole sec ond as Keeth, a pinch hitter, struck out, and then went to third on a passed ball. Healy then scored as Conway tried to cut him down at third, but the throw was wild and the run came in. Cappeletti went to first base via this wild pitch as 1t was the fourth ball, he then stole second as Fahy went to first after being hit by the bail. Marko- vic, a pinch hitter, grounded to shortStop, which the fielder muffed, as Fahy and Cappeletti scored. Walsh, who batted perfect 1000 percent in this contest, smashed the ball into deep center field for homer which scored three more runs to give the Hearts their final tally. The only Thomaston tally scored in the third inning when Cappeletta executed bad throw to second, with runner going to third and scoring. Score:
