BY RAY HENRY

The average boy born today
can expect to live about STA
years. while a girl born at the
same time can look forward to
73h years. That's six years
longer for the girls.
Perhaps. this doesn't surprise
you. Maybe you've heard before
that women are now OUTLYING
men by q number Of years.
Maybe. if you're a man. you've
even applied the statistics to you
and your wife. And, maybe
you've even bought life insur-
ance because you figure you
won't live as long as your wife
and you want to make sure she
has something to live on.
But. have you ever stopped to
figure out Just what social Secur-
ity will do for your wife if she
should outlive you?
Suppose, for example. you and
your wife are now so and your
children are raised. And, sup
pose tomorrow you were to die.
Procedure Reviewed
If YOUR widow were to visit a
social security Office. the people
there would first check to see
whether you we're fully" or
currently" insured when you
died.
To be fully" insured, you
generally must have worked
under social security since 1886
an amount of time equal to al
least half Of the time between
January /, 1850 and the time OF
your death. To be currently
insured. you must have worked
for at least IL Of the last three
years before your death.
II your social security record
showed that you were either
fully or currently insured. the
social security people would i'm
mediately ask her to apply for q
lump sum death payment.
This is fiat cash payment
made to a widow. upon the deatS
of an insured person. II there
is no widow. then it may go Il

expenses.
The payment can range from
500 to $255. The exact amount

Of the monthly payment the de.
ceased person would have re.
ceived had he lived to age 65-
up to a maximum of $255.

issues that Jane raises. In fact,
Mrs. r. It's only problem ap-
pears to be Jane.
It seems that Jane is trying to
eliminate her father and to
establish herself as head of the
household. The parents should
try to straighten out the picture
in James mind. They should let
her know they do love one an
other and have no thought Of
divorce.
Mrs. r. T. should give Jane
no encouragement In the idea
that she is being exploited. She
should let Jane know that she
loves her work as q wife and
mother and invite the girl to
join her in some Of her feminine
tasks.
Mr.. r. T. should insist upon
exercising his authority as head
Of the household. including the
signing Of James report card.
Beyond this. Jane should be
encouraged to release some OF
her turbulent energy outside of
the home-in school and in
extra -curricular activities. This
may help her to get through this
dificult adolescent phase.
However, there are some
rather deep-rooted reasons for
James attitude toward her
parents and. If the conflict in
the home continues for too long.
1t might be advisable to see
whether q family agency con-
sultant would suggest some
psychiatric help.

Jury Acquits Man
Of Murder Churqe;
Witness in Contempt

Fermin Melendez Yerra was
acquitted of the charge of
murder in the second degree
by a jury of eleven men and
one woman. The jury deliber-
ated about four and a half
hours. The judge instructed
them that the charge of first
degree murder was out; that
they could only render a YER
dict on a second degree or
manslaughter charge or bring
in the defendant not guilty.
The charge grew out of the
Staying Of Antonio Villaneuva
on the night of November II,
1856, who was disemboweled
at the corner OF Queen Cross
and Queen Streets in Chris
tiansted.
The Government had nine
witnesses; the defendant none.
One witness, Justine Rodri-
guez, refused to answer ques-
tons put to him by the de-
PENDANTS attorney, Almeric
Christian, although he an
swered the District Attorney.
He was held in contempt by
Judge Moore and is being held
in custody for sentencing

Device Is Made to Guide
Any Croft to Any Place

CAMBRIDGE. Mass. April 10
R.-Scientists at Massachusetts,
Institute of Technology have
unveiled a heretofore secret in
vention which they say can guide
any craft or missile to any speci-
ned spot on earth, free from
enemy interference.
The invention, called "Inertial
Guidance" already has flown q
B-29 bomber from Boston to Los
Angeles.
The NIT scientists said, in
unwilling Inertial Guidance yes
terday. that it operates without
magnetic compass. radio or ra-
dar and without a glimpse of the
earth, the sun or the stars. They
said 1t needs no electronic signal
or radar beam and therefore can
not be damned by enemy APP
paratus.
The developers explained that
the heart of the system is a
completely free-floating gyro-
scope sealed in a little 4-inch
cylinder about the size of a TO-
mato can. They added that the
extremely complicated mechan-
ism always remains aimed in q
fixed position in relation to the
universe independent Of the
earth's motion. They said it can
not be affected by other natural
phenomena such as weather
sunspots and magnetic influences
on polar flights.
The gyro wheel. spinning al
10000 revolutions per minute
floats in a fluid and pivots on
virtually frictionless sapphire

bearings. The wheel is described
as "a major breakthrough in
the field Of gyro technology" The
scientists indicated it might be
OF great Importance in flight
through outer space.
The system is being applied
to flight and fire control as well
as navigation. The NIT SCI
entists have developed military
applications for all three uses.
Inertial Guidance resulted
from experiments begun in 1899
by DR.. Charles S. Draper, head
of the NIT Department of
Aeronautical Engineering, who
headed a group at NIT which
developed the Mark XIV gun
sight. The gunsight. in its first
battle test. destroyed 80 at
lacking japanese planes.
Research on gyro-radar-com-
Iputer fire control, target-locator
systems. is continuing in the
NIT Instrumental Laboratory
under the direction Of DR.. Draper
and DR.. Walter Wrigley, pro-
fessor Of aeronautical engineer
ing at NIT and educational d.
rector of the Instrumentation
Laboratory. A staff Of 700
scientists. technicians and en-
gineers divides its time between
Cambridge and Hanscom Field
at nearby Bedford.
1t was from Hanscom Field
in 1858 that the B-29 started
its secret flight to the West
Coast. The plane flew without
supervision from the pilot until
Ut was within easy communica-
ltion range Of Los Angeles.

Under Gen. E. L. M. Burns,

but UNEF soldiers seem to get

with Egyptian officials. For in

haste in pushing UNEF people

Egyptians are trying to push the

out roughly what our job prob
ably is-we think"
All those qualifications stem
from the fact that the exact
continuing relationship between
UNEF and the civil administra-
ton of GAIA, the Israeli govern
ment and all the UNEF contrib
utors and u. N. member nations
has not been decided. Nor has
the precise assignment of UNEF
itself.
Despite these necessary uncer-
tainties. UNEF people believe
that common sense shows them
what their job must be, that
patience and intelligence en-
able them to carry it out and
that anyone can see that UNEF
works.
Basic Difficulty
The basic difficulty is that
Egypt administers the areas
where UNEF operates, and Egypt
is uncertain just how much
power it should permit UNEF
to exercise. Egyptian officials
also are touchy about their SOW
ereignty and dignity and apt to
be arbitrary and unreasonable
in their relations with UNEF
leaders.
UNEF people don't believe they
will get a clear-cut satisfactory
definition of their rights and
duties. so they just get along
without. From a purely prac-
Itical point of view this seems to
work, for Egypt does let UNEF
do what obviously is its main
job: patrol the border.
And although there have been
complaints Of border violations
from both sides-exaggerated
cries Of anguish mostly for prop
uganda purposes-the Egyptian
Israeli border actually has been
quiet during UNEF's stay.
In practice it works out this
way:
UNEF sticks almost entirely
ito the border area and lets the
GAIA Arabs run the cities and
the Egyptian authorities provide
IStrip-wide administration. UNEF
keeps some administrative facil-
tiles in the interior and MAIN
tains a few joint patrols with
GAIA police. There are also some
Joint checkposts on the southern
border where UNEF soldiers
check their own people and ve-
hicles and GAIA police check
Arab traffic.
Although the UNEF basically
lis on the border, UNEF and

keep close enough tabs on in
ternal GAIA activities to deter

ganized again or If Egyptian
maintenance Of law and order
goes slack.
Observation Posts
U. N. people say the training
and organizing Of para-military
raiding groups like the fedayeen
is q major project which cannot
be concealed in the tiny GAIA
Strip. And so far there is no
sign Of a reorganization Of the
fedayeen.
Also. there is nothing to in
dictate Egypt is not reasonably
|diligent in enforcing its ban on
border crossings by Arabs.
UNEF has set up observation
posts along the border for use
during the day and listening
posts and walking patrols for the
night. In addition, UNEF planes
