Senate Delays Vote
On D. c. Fiscal Bills
Debate Waited
On Sales Tax,
Pay Raises
By JOHN McKELWAY
Star staff Writer

The Senate today refused
to pass, without debate, two
bills involving the Dis
trict's financial picture.
ReScheduled for future floor
action were proposals to in
crease the sales tax and pro-
vide pay raises for police and
In a similar state is the bill
carrying pay raises for the Dis
trict'S teachers and school en-
ployeS, which yesterday cleared
the House District Committee.
The Senate, however, gave
the District authority to bor-
row more money for sewage i'm
provements.
Morse Opposed
Senator Morse, Democrat of
oregon, is understood to be
against the House-passed sales
tax, which would raise the levy
from 2 to 3 per cent.
Also, Senator Case, Repub-
lican of South Dakota, indi-
Gated he wished to amend the
bill by raising from 3 to 5 per
cent the sales tax on hotel and
motel rooms.
Today'S action does not
necessarily endanger passage of
the bills, but merely indicates
some Senators wish to COM
ment on the proposal.
Borrowing Approved
Passed by the Senate bv
unanimous consent was the bill
which increases the amount the
District may borrow for con-
struction and improvement of
sanitary and combined sewage
systems. The present limit is
So million. This would be
raised to S32 million.
An Identical bill was reported
taVorably today by the House
Public Works Committee and
passage is expected in the
House.
The Senate also passed a
minor measure which would
enable the District Commits
Sloners to increase various
registration fees for motor
vehicles. One provision would
enable the Commissioners to
charge not more than so cents
for each set of automobile tags
treated with special reflective
material.

If Johnny comes home from
school in the next few weeks
and tells his mother he's learn
ing Russian from a robot, she'd
better not spank him for lying
Russian-teaching robots al
ready are in existence. A few
arrived here today to make an
appearance at an invitation
only preview of their wizardry
at the Department of Health,
Education and Welfare.
Among the guests of honor
were the areas leading edu-
Gators.
The robots inventors an
nounced with pride that the
mechanical monsters" as a
few fearful observers called
them, will make their debutS
on an experimental basis in a
number of the Nations class
rooms this year.
Versatile Teachers
And Russian isn't all they
can teach.
Known in the business world
as auto-teaching devices and
looking more like televiSion
sets than the traditional robot
of Saturday movie serials
they can teach you how to play
golf, train f1edgling surgeons,
spout a list of facts about the
Old and New Testaments, ex-
plain the intricacies of class
ical music and give a test in
which students can't cheat.
To top it off, when the pupil
earns a good grade the robot
can come back with a hearty
well DONE"

and soon we were on a north
east runway and had the

We went upriver past Glen

SCARED with grading for the
new road.
We turned left and fol-
lowed it across Route 7 (the
Leesburg road, Route 211
(the Warrentown road and
Shirley highway.
A great deal of work has
been done taking the new
road across these highways.
Some bridges have been built
and there is some paving on
the interchanges.
The new road crosses the
Richmond, Fredericksburg &
Potomac tracks just beyond
the Shirley highway and then
parallels them east to the
river and the Jones Point
bridge.
We followed the grading Of
the new road up the river
bank on st. Elizabeth's farm
and then lost it short of the
Rosecroft raceway, a trotting

CHEAT PROOF TESTERS, TOO
Robot eachers Displayed

One robot trains surgeons on
Closed-circuit televiSion, firing
questions at the student as he
watches an operation. The
student replies by pressing a
button. If the robot flashes
green he's correct. If it flashes
red he's wrong.
Like Private Tutor
The educational function of
these devices is very similar
to that of a private tutor" one
scientist said. They present
information to the student,
Immediately measure his un-
derstanding and take corrective
action is the students under
standing is incomplete"
The HEW showing drew a
standing only house. but

scientists and educators-Will
see a mammoth display of the
bloodless instructors the first
week of November in Los An
geles at the Business Equip
ment Exposition sponsored by
the Office Equipment Manu-
facturerS Institute.
Do teachers need to worry
about the progress the robots
are making? The answer is no,
Dr.. Skinner said.
Machines can never substi-
tute for a teachers judge
ment," he said. They cannot
carry on a classroom discussion
OF analyze an English compost
ton"
In fact" another spokesman
added, I'VE have one machine,
which-when it finds it can't
handle the situation-tells the
student: You aren't doing so
we'll. You'd better see your
teacher"

Servative wing of the State
party Observation-Disclosures
Senator Byrd.
Gov. Almond, who cut short
a vacation at Virginia Beach to
welcome the candidates to Vir-
ginia, went all out in a pledge
of loyalty to them. He roared
into the public address system:
Il say to you without equivo-
cation. I shall support the
ticket with pride, enthusiasm
and unbounded confidence"
Senator Robertson, who like
most other Virginia Democrats
has refused to support the
civil rights and certain other
plankS in the party platform,
expressed his Endorsement of
the candidates in milder terms.
To Vote Ticket
He said he attended the rally
Eas the Democratic nominee
for the Senate from Virginia to
demonstrate my intention to
do this fall what I have alway
done in the paSt-vote the
straight Democratic ticket"
Noticeably absent from the
speakerss platform was the
head of the dominant faction
of the State party, Senator
Byrd, who has declined to state
his position on the ticket. In
1852 and 1856 he failed to sup
port the Democratic national
ticket and in both years Vir-
ginia gave its IL electoral votes
to President Eisenhower.

Skinner of Harvard and DR..
Arthur Lumsdaine, University
of California, pioneers in
teaching by robot, foretold a
revolution in education. They
pointed to three roles they
expect the robots to play.
They will help relieve the
shortage of 100000 human
teachers in the United States;
they will relieve teachers of
tedious, repetitive chores such
as drilling students in spelling
and multiplication tables, and
they will provide continuous
comprehension testing. Each
time they impart an educa-
tional tidbit. they can ask, in
effect, did you get the point?"
New Horizons for Blind
Perhaps best of all, one scien-
tlst said, one robot is learning
how to write Braille, opening a
whole new world for the Ma
tion's blind.
A "self-instruction" robot de-
veloped by DR.. Skinner, cap
able of comprehending write
in" answers, already is in use
at Harvard. The business world,
too, is jumping on the robot
bandWagon-mostly to train
workers in aseembly-line proc
eSSeS.
Based for the most part
on the use of televiSion-lik
screens and magnetic tapes, the
monsters" range from simple
battery operated affairs, cost
ing less than $40, for teaching
multiplication tables to primary
students, to complicated, $4,000
Auto Tutors" put into service
recently at an air base in Mis-
siSSippi to teach electronics to
airmen.

5000 in Alexandria
Rally for Democrats

Others whose absence was
noticed by some were Repre-
sentatives Smith, Abbitt, Tuck
and Harrison.
Present on the platform were
Representatives Jennings. Gary
and Hardy and former Gov.
John S. Battle, whose son, Will
liam, is the party campaign
director in Virginia. Represen-
tative Downing sent regrets
that he could not be present.
Pledge by Kaul
Ralph Kaul, candidate for
Congress against Republican in
cumbent Joel Broyhill in the
nearby 10th district, went a
step beyond most other Vir-
ginia Democrats when he in
dorsed the platform. His words
were:
Il am proud to appear with
these great Democratic leaders,
and right now l pledge my en-
thusiaStic support to them and
to our platform"
The George WASHINGTON
High School stadium was near
ly jammed when Senators Ken
nedy and johnson and Mr..
Kaul arrived. Only a few of
the 14,800 bleacher seats on
each side of the field were
empty, but an estimated 5000
more spectators milled around
on the ground or occupied
chairs set up in the field.
Arlington State Senator
Charles R. Fenwick. 10th dis
trict Democratic chairman, in
troduced the guests. He had
just recognized Arlington Com
monwealth's Attorney William
j. HaSSan as a presidential
elector who is pledged to sup
port our national ticket" when
he was forced to stop due to
the arrival of the candidates
nearly an hour after the rally's
start.
Crowd Surrounds Them
Riding in an open convertible
Senators Kennedy and johnson
and Mr.. Kaul had difficulty
making their way through a
crowd that surged around a
gate at the north end of the
field.
Once inside. the car eau
tiously made its way through
the milling crowds and circled
the field, with bevy of teen
age Golden Girls riding in the
rear waving Kennedy hats
There was tumultous applause
from the stands.
Prior to the speeches, the
master of ceremonies, John
Gibson, former Undersecretary
of Labor, announced that buck
cts would be passed among the
audience for contributions TO
help defray costs of the affair.
One of the buckets, somehow,
got started passing among the
guests on the speakers plat
form.
Candidates Shell Out
Gov. Almond appeared GiS-
mayed when he saw one of the
buckets headed in the direc-
ton of Senators Kennedy and
johnson. Despite his gestures,
he was too late to stop both
candidates from making cash
contributions.
When the time arrived for
Mr.. Fenwick to introduce Sena-
tor Kennedy, the crowd became
impatient.
Several times applaus
drowned out Mr.. Fenwick's in
troductory words. His final re-
marks went unheard in the
mounting roar from the crowd
