Lake Mead Boot
Races Swift Show

The big one, the world series of
boating, to be held on Lake Mead
this year, promises to be even more
than race of International impor-
tance. By the time the big unlimited
hydroplanes line up for the final heat
of the Gold Cup Race, being held
in conjunction with the annual Lake
Mead Cup Races, the spectators will
have witnessed demonstration by
the famous U. S. Air Force Thunder
BIRDS, precision boat driving drill
by the Coast Guards Gee Gees" and
several parachute jumps including
delayed team-jump from $4,000 feet.
Even the qualifying trialss will be
more exciting this year, for, due to
new ruling, each unlimited hydro and,
driver must qualify for three conse-
cutive and continuously run laps ovet
the official course with required
speed of 100 m. p. h. or over.
Although the big hydroS race each
year at the Lake Mead Cup races,
this may be the last year for some
time to come that SOuthweSterners
will have an opportunity to attend
the Gold Cup in their own back
yard, for no Lake Mead-based boat is
defending the title. Maverick, win
ner of the title last year, has been

Well, if you go little farther up
into Prescott, you may visit Tuzigoot

located a number of Indian homes of
yesteryear. You will also find this
very interesting. It shows how the
Indians built their homes to keep the

cooking.

ARIZONA AND ITS PLACES

Since this is vacation time, let's
talk about a few places in Arizona
that you may tour. l know it sounds
like dull subject, especially to you
who have lived here the majority of
your life span. But while taking
short tour of Prescott we saw a few
interesting places. We visited town
called Jerome. know most of you
have heard of this place. 1t is known
for its ghosts. Now, the town is sort
of vacant, especially the houses. Ev-
erything is just about like it was be-
fore it became ghost town. The sa-

digital computers do.
Learns Alphabet
Mark I, the machine demon
strated yesterday, has learned
Evening star., 1960-06-24

to read the alphabet from A to
2 in Roman capitals. 1t is still
ignorant of lower case letters
and has not mastered Italics
But it learned its A-B-Cs in
about "a hours, which is no
mean accomplishment.

trip Mark I up by giving it
false information about the let
tiers three times out Of every 10.
the machine saw through the
trick and ignored teacher.
The perceptron's "eye" is an
array of 400 light-senSitive cells
within a camera. These photo
cells are hooked electronically
into a conarol board in a ''ran-
dom" arrangement. This is
tied in, also "randomly," to 5l2
associative cells which are es-
sentially direct-current motor
driven potentiometers. Finally,
there are eight response cells,
Of which only five are used
when the alphabet is being
learned.
With a 26-letter alphabet, the
machine has about a 4 per cent
chance of guessing" right the
first time it is shown a certain
letter. If it guesses wrong, the
error is corrected by the teach
er, who flips switches to give
the machine the right answer.
Defeats Teachers 'Goofs'
When teacher goofs, it takes
the machine a little longer to
learn, but it eventually scores
100 in spite of the teacher-a
feat human pupils often find
impossible to accomplish.
The response of Mark I to
the visual stimulation OF al
phabet letters is in a special
code not unlike Morse. Instead
of dots and dashes, however,
Mark I uses off-and-on lights
in predetermined order. When
Mark I sees "a" the machine
blinks its lights "off -on-off-
off on" "B" evokes "on-on-on-
onion" as the response. &C" is
"off off f-on-on-on."

very much more high explo-

DR.. Teller is the sparkplug

a leading advocate of the canal

fission-to-fusion ratio is ad-
dressed to the problem of de-
veloping clean" bombs, with
little or no fallout.
Radioactivity, as DR.. Teller
suggests, is really what makes
nuclear explosions undesirable
on construction projects. But
Plowshare scientists say they
