 Latest reports from Britain tell how electronic chimes have been perfected that add subtract mul tiply and divide rapidly enough to give corporation ecutive complete up-tothe-minute balance sheet ten minutes after he asks for it. In another development British railway engineers have produced machine that turn out instantaneous railway tickets to anywhere and eliminate standing in line and waiting for the ticket seller to tumble around with long sheets of paper and stamp pads.
 And again, at Britain postofice scientists have devel oped machine that sorts 600 letters minute prints n visible fuorescent codes each letter, and channels them into correct boxes for their destination
 It's all little frightening except when stop to think of thing There's still need for corporation executives to call for the balance shees for travellers buy railway tickets and for letterwrters to lick flaps of their envelopes and seal them.

Arctic Operations ''Would Be Tough'' For Either Side

 Americans, It. Gen. Nathan F.. Twining said today, adding:
 And we know that we can op- crate on land, sea and in the air"
 The air force general, command ing Alaskan armed forces, told news conference that newly-com- pleted Eielson field near Fair banks is capable now of maintain ing an aerial offensive with the new B-50 bomber, which is Boe- ing's larger version of the wartime BPS.
 Twining, air commander in the Solomons during the war, express ed belief that American forces now can operate as we'll, if not better, than anyone else" under Arctic conditions.
 We do know that the Russians have the same problems as we have," he said. "They put on their pans one leg at a time the same as we do"
 Twining said the air forces have full group now of jet fighters about 75 improved F-80's-operat- ing in Alaska. He added that a group of long-range B-50's will undergo Arctic training this win ter.
 Twining and Rear Adm. Alfred E. Montgomery, commander of the Alaskan sea frontier, are conferr- ing at Pearl Harbor with Admiral D C. Ramsey, commander in chief of the Pacific fleet.
 The big problem of the armed forces in Alaska, said Twining is housing and manpoWer for base building. Montgomery wryly ob- served that Russia "as a dictator ship" does not have a manpower problem, as does the American de- mocracy.
 "The Russians can send con- struction workers where they need them," said Montgomery. we can invite them"
 Asked about the size of Eielson field, 30 miles south of Fairbanks, Twining replied with smile: Just say it's a big one."
 He said the United States has developed a considerable number of Alaskan air fields from which B-29's can operate. Because of the weather and the terrain, Alaskan bases actually are like series of islands "and the supply problem is rough one."
 In this connection Montgomery said full years supply was put ashore at the Point Barrow oil de- velopment base by nvay amphib- ious force in only five days.
 This, added the admiral, was more tonnage on Point Barrow's beach than went ashore at Okin- ava during the invasion phase there.
 Twining said American forces are scrupulously observing theI limits of approach to Russian ter ritory, "and-so far as we know the Russians are doing the same" Gin regard to American territory. s"We'd like to know more about what's going on in Russian terri tory" Twining concluded. We are using all means we can to find out"

BERLIN MARES NEST
 (By Barnet Nover)
 WASHINGTON-At his press conference before leaving for Paris Secretary of State George C. Mar sal spoke in vein of unreleved gloom about the inter- national situation Relations between Soviet Russia and the western powers he indicated have gone from bad worse during the past fortnight.
 MarshalS mood mirrors the mood of official wash ingtOn as the summer Wanes.
 What for brief while looked like promising effort to achieve an easing of the world crisis through four power talks at Moscow and later at Berlin has proved be just another mares nest.
 Instead of the hopedfor breathing spell, tensions nue to rise and fears of another conflict steadily mounting These fears have reached such acute stage that such Gen. Lucus D. Clay, the American commander in Germany, have found it necessary to state not but repeatedly that not imminent
 Nobody speaks with any similar about the long-rn situation Nor is there much hope that at this session of the United Nations general assembly in Paris real will be made in drawing east and west together.
 Is the situation, then, utterly hopeless?
 A growing number of Americans are beginning to be- eve that They notice that despite the Moscow and Der lin talks Russian obSreperousness has been rising that Russian propagandst assaults on the United States witness the address at the communist rally in Berlin by Lieut.. Gen. Georgi Gordeyev-are mounting in fury, that these last weeks have sharp rise in Soviet terrorism in the German capital.
 The belief is growing in Washington that this latest phase of Russian obstreperousness is the direct  part
 The siege of Berlin has clearly not gone the way the Russian leaders expected it to go Costly and nerve rackng the air lift has proved to be, and inadequate of keeping the economy of the western sec tors of Berlin operating at normal level the air lift has been spectacular triumph for the western powers.
 In the meantime the Americans and the British have given demonstration of air and the of air power which has not been lost either the Russians the Germans.
 There be question whatever but that it has stiff fened the resistance of the latter and thus helped thwar the plans of the Kremlin to win bloodess victory in Berlin.
 After two and one-half months the United States, Great Britain and France have not surrendered and in no mood to surrender On the contrary their resou tion has stiffened.
 Returning from Berlin the other day. Prof Carl J. Friedrich of Harvard declared that from propaganda viewpoint the air lift would be cheap double the cost Ten times that much spent words would never have accomplished the same result
 The fury of the Russians an operation they did not expect succeed which they dare not try to stop by forcbe but whose they cannot afford to acknowledge is proof of the truth of that statement
