Before the Danes simmered
down and decided that young SOL
diers are not "all angels" North
Atlantic Pact officials were
alarmed that the Danes, who are
building up forces for the North
Atlantic defense system, had no
concept of military discipline.
The soldiers were arrested and
charged with mutiny before civil
and not a military court, in ac-
cordance with Danish law. Evil
dence showed that several of the
soldiers held the sergeant d o w n
while the rest beat him in Aarhus,
north Jutland.
In their defense, the soldiers
pleaded extreme provocation be-
cause the sergeant major had
grossly insulted" them by h is
language.
Became National Heroes
The sergeant, they said, re-
peatedly gave them doses Of ira
ditional top kick" language and
told them: Il am going to train
you men until you forget your own
mothers, but not me-"
The court found them guilty of
assault, held that there were miti-
eating circumstances, and sem
fenced them to terms ranging
from five to IS days.
The day after the verdict, the
recruits found themselves national
heroes.

conservative paper, asserted: THE
sergeant major well deserved the

NEW SWEDISH BRAIN MA

NEW SN EDlSH BRAIN MA
CHINE-A new binary computing
machine of electronic type to be
called BESk is under construction
in Sweden. Its memory" which
will retain 1000 12-digit numbers,
will have the manifold capacity of
its predecessor, the first Swedish
computing machine of binary type,
named BARK. The new machine
will be able to solve two and
three-dimensional problems, such
as calculations pertaining to cleo
trio and magnetic fields, aero and
hydro-dynanic problems, etc. 1t
will cost approximately kr. l.
100000 (S30O,o00).
BARK has been of considerable
use for the atomic and astronomi-
cal sciences as we'll as for pre-
cision calculations for artillery and
optical instruments, etc, a n for
determining the age of geological
specimens.
Calculates the Weather
A new method for obtaining
quicker and more exact weather
forecasts by means of BARK is
at present being worked out by
a group of research scientists
from eight nations, according to
a report in the Swedish press. The
staff, led by Professor Carl-Gus-
tat Rossby, is to describe in SIM
plified equations the general laws
governing atmospheric currents.
Much of present guess-work in
meteorological forecasts will thus
be eliminated.
A 96-tOn press for plastic hard
board with a pressure power of
5000, 600 Kilograms, the largest in
Europe and one of the biggest in
the world, has recently been de-
livered to Skanska Attikfabriken,
of PerstOrp, South Sweden.
The new press will be used for
the so-called Perstorp Board, an
acid, alcohol and fire-proof ma
terial now extensively adopted
both in Sweden and abroad for
the manufacture of furniture, shop
and office fittings, etc. The power
of this press would be capable of
lifting 10000 persons, or the en-
tire population of the neighboring
town of HelsingbOrg, which speaks
volumes for the capacity of the
machine.
BOAT IMPROVEMENTS
annual exhibition of boats an d

just concluded proved a very in

One of the most beautiful craft
to be seen at the exhibition was
a light-metal life boat, the plates
of which were curved according to
a new method so as to produce
perfectly smooth covering. Weigh
ing only a ton and half includ-
ing equipment, the boat can hold
80 persons.
An exhibition of hydraulic
steering gear for motor boats also
attracted considerable interest.

BRAIN OPERATIONS WITH
NEEDLE ELECTRODE AND N
RAY RADIATION-In the realm
of neuro-surgery, DR.. Lars LEX
sell, pupil of the famous Swed-
ish brain surgeon, Professor Her
bert Olivecrona, attached to the
Neuro-Surgical Clinic in Lund, has
succeeded in developing further
the so-called stereo-tactic method
for brain surgery. first tried out
in the United States in 194I. This
means that a needle electrode is
inserted into the brain nerve cell
which conducts the disease symp-
toms, and this part is then des-
troyed by electrlysis or electro
coagulation The method may also
in the future be applicable in
treating some psychic disturbances
such as anxiety, certain types of
neurosis and st. Vitus dance. A
still more revolutionary method,
used by some surgeons in Lund,
in collaboration with the Radio
Physical Institution, is a treat
ment with cluster of X-rays in
stead of a needle electrode. The
diseased spot in the brain is ex-
posed to radiation from about
fifty different angles with ex-
tremely thin clusters of x-rays, so
that the total effect can be CEN
tralized on one point. The faulty
brain cells may thus be destroyed
or treated without having to re-
sort to surgery.
SWEDEN1S FIRST COBALT
GUN" recently was installed at
the King Gustaf v Jubilee Clinic
in Lund. Using the so-called tela-
gamma apparatus for remote
treatment of certain forms of can
Ger with cobalt isotope so, only
fifteen minutes is needed for
greater penetrative effect than is
obtained by the use for one
hour period of X-ray apparatus.
ONE OF AMERICAS LEAD
ING cancer research institutions
has stationed a member of its

What particularly interests tn e
American scientists is the ultra
violet microspectograph, as well
as other intricate equipment at
the ellular research institute
headed by Professor Caspersson.
AS early as ten years ago, Swed-
ish scientists proved that tn e

nuclei acids they contain. tt e
American scientists now hope to
accelerate their research wi t h
Swedish help.
