He supervised it's birth, nursed it
through infancy. Now with his
associate, Ralph Slutz, a scientist
of Princeton's Institute for Ad-
vanced Study, and an eager
staff of SO young scientists and
technicians he attends it's growing
pains.
"SEAC can give me all the frus-
tration of treating a patient who is
temperamental and cannot talk"
he says. But l try to remember
that after all the science of elec-
tronic computers is only five or six
years old"
In addition to listening in on
The Brain while it is at work, DR..
Alexander gives it an alertness test
several times a week. His favorite
is to task" it if 90, ,999, ,999, ,977
is a prime number. This, we re-
call from our arithmetic class in
P.S. 6, is a number which cannot
be divided by any other number
without leaving remainder.
1t takes The Brain just 30 min
utes to try $4,000 different trial
divisors into the test figures and
report that 99,999. .999, ,977 is in
deed a prime number. 1t would
require two months work for a
man operating a desk calculator
eight hours a day to reach the
same correct conclusion.
Today there are approximately
81 of the so-called super calcula-
tors" or "Electronic Brains"
throughout the country. Some are
working and some are not. There
are also approximately 1000
smaller ones. SEAC, however, is
an ever-growing young giant. DR..
Alexander and his team of scien-
Evening star., 1952-10-26

lists keep working to increase its
versatility.
Many people still believe that
an automatic computer can think"
says DR.. Alexander. 1T cannot.
What it can do is to carry out its
work from problem to solution
without human intervention. But
before it can tackle a problem it
must be given exact instructions
governing every step in the solu-
ton. Thus each machine can only
be as proficient as the scientist
who operates it."
Close to Thinking
HE nearest thing to thinking
that The Brain does is to compare
two numbers and determine which
is the larger. Once a program for
particular kind of problem has
been given to SEAC, however, the
computer can store it away in its
memory" This can then be used
over and over again with different
sets of numerical data and is an
important, time-saving feature.
Usually The Brain has an insa-
table appetite. The rolls of paper
tape which it consumes at the rate
of 80 words per minute have prob
lens and instructions punched out
in a teletype code somewhat like
the familiar Morse telegraphic
code. A section of this tape rather
resembles a narrow stripof music"
from an old-fashioned player piano.
The Brain fguresout the answers
a great deal faster than it can type
them out on teletypewriter. Be
cause of this scientists often must
sit respectfully in front of the COM

New York County handled only
one paper per month but received
annual salaries of 5000. These
men were all political appointees,"
he went on. "Seventy-five per cent
were members of the county COM

A farmer in the Middle West

OuS " IIlc taxpayers.
A handful of communities have
demonstrated that a fusion of city
and county can save money. Last
year the average property tax
paid in metropolitan areas nearing
100000 official population was
$3l for each $1,000 of assessed
valuation. But in st. Louis, where
city and county long have been
blended into a single unit, the rate
was $27. For a home owner with a
house worth $l5.O this meant
a tax saving of about $50.
The San Francisco Bureau of
Governmental Research declares
that s., ,293, 900 was saved for the
taxpayers during the first year
that city-county consolidation
went into effect. A similar mar
riage of the two administrations
has been performed in Denver,
where the chairman of the tax
committee of the Chamber of Com
merce has observed; 'Our present
unification is 50 much better that
an additional layer of county gov
ernment would be sheer waste"
Citizens Unintexested
YET economy, despite its great
appeal, may not be the most COM
pelling reason for ending the politi-
cal double-take in our great cities.
Sound, efficient administration
could be the first motive.
The average citizen takes scant
interest in who runs his county.
It is directed by a board or COM
mission. about which he knows
little. The same set of county
officials often hangs on for decades.
Courthouse rings perpetuate them
selves in power, thriving on the
indifference of the public to the
names on the county ballot. In a
populous county on the West Coast
the voters in 1913 elected a can
didate for sheriff who claimed he
had been a football star at Michi-
gan and had served six years in the
US. Marine Corps. But the most
cursory investigation would have
shown he never went to college
and was not a war veteran.
The sheriff. in effect, is the police
chief of the county. But no Ameri-
can city of any size elects clliefof
police. BY having their principal
law-enforcement officer chosen at
the polls, counties put a premium
on favoritism and corruption.
