Night On Bahia Honda Key
BROWN Is CRITICALLY
INJURED, WHILE RIP.
LEY AND LOCSON Sc
RIOUSLY HURT

There was no change today in
the three Navy chief petty Of
ficcrs who were either critically
or seriously injured Sunday night
when a car in which they were
riding crashed against a truck
south of Bahia Honda viaduct on
the Overseas Highway.
Naval Hospital here reported
today at noon that one of the
petty officers was critically in
jured and still remained in that
condition. The others seriously
injured are beginning to react to
treatment. the physicians at the
hospital said.
The critically injured man is
Charles d. Brown, CY, USN.

unconscious today and the full
extent of his injuries were unde-

said he had to procure hack
saw to cut away part of the body
Of the car i'm order to release the

introduced which can pluck table
corn without damaging the ears.
On the merchandising front,
authorities say new automatic
vending machines may be the
forerunner Of the automatic store.
"Silent statesmen" now sells pro-
ducts like nylon hose, mem
shirts, cakes of ice, photograph
records and books. In the pro
duction stage are gadgetS which
their sponsors claim will simpli-
fly supermarket shopping by en-
abling customers to list what
they want on tape as they walk
about the store. As the customers
arrive at the check-out counter
the purchases will come tumblinG

neers say, but theoretically full
ly automoatic factory. using diff
ferent machines which already
-ssesvc ps~XeslAtlsi- ----rrs,~Aia- ia -s.otiaa-
operation, also could be construc-
ted. That this will come is widely
doubted. since intricate and cost
ly devices often would have to
be installed to do work Whica
could be performed cheaper by
men.
During the depression, many
economists argued that Wild.
spread unemployment had result
ed from the displacement o.
working men by machines, and
it is probable that if there is any
future drop in the working force
that argument will be heard
again. Advocates of increased
mechanization say. however. that
machines have helped to reduce
working hours and raise wages
and are necessary for further I'M
provements in the standard o.
living. They argue that while ma
chimes displace some workers
that they create new Industries
which in turn give employment.
But regardless OF the argument
the fact right now is that the
machines are on the march.

This severe storm is critically
