TALKING OF BUSINESS
ComPuter Plan for Sowing Lawyers
From Research Drudgery Is Tested
BY TRUMAN r. TEMPLE
Star staff Writer

The electronic computer is
coming to the rescue of law
yers who must wade through
thousands of old cases in
search of "precedents."
Datatrol Corp. of Silver
Spring and George Washing
ton University's National Law
Center today jointly released
details of a pilot project to
Streamline legal research.
The project, expected to be
completed in February. uses
computers to track down in
formation such as law case
references and legislative his
tory buried in the mass of legal
literature.
To Cut Drudgery
Results of the work will be
submitted to the Justice De-
partment's Antitrust Division
for an appraisal. The hackers
initially are aiming at cutting
to a minimum the delays and
drudgery connected with re-
search on merger and monopoly
cases.
A lawyer seeking, for ex-
ample, Fair Trade cases would
TASK" the computer for a list
of citations for all cases on the
subject. Another client might
ask for pleadings, briefs, or
motions to a specific type of
merger case.
1t is believed that 20 to 100
phrases used for the average
case will give a satisfactory
crosS-section profile, so that it
may be retrieved for most needs.
Backers of the project are
not claiming it will automate
the lawyer out of business. But
they think it will help bring
the mountains of literature
under control.
Confident of Success
1--WE at Datatrol Corp. have
great faith that the legal
retrieval pilot project will be
completely successful" said
Hugh Donaghue, company
president.
Datatrol has been looking
into the idea nearly a year and
last fall set up a Retrieval
Division. Mr.. Donaghue visu-
alizes that some day regional
legal photography centers may
be established using computers
to ease the task of digging for
facts.
Like many executives in the
faSt-growing computer field,
Mr.. Donaghue is young (33),
has a graduate degree M.S. in
applied mathematics from the
University of Illinois,, and is
not afraid to take risks.
He worked for the Defense
Department from 1852 to 1860,
quitting early in the latter year
to form the company. Seven
others soon followed him from
the Pentagon.
Il wasn't hungry but Ger
tainly was sleepless," he ad-
mitted in a recent interview.

Inc reactlon OF the alrlineS
to the Civil AerOnautics Boards
recent fare Increase authority
wasn't, as you've heard by now,
exactly ear-splitting.
BY a three-to-two vote, the
Board said it will approve a
temporary three per cent raise
and carriers are filing for
the increases through the Air
Transport Association. Thirty
days after the ATA hands over
the notifications to the Board,
the new fares could go into
effect.
But, as the Board pointed
out, the increase is not the total
answer to the economic plight
of the carriers. What the Board
said, in essence, was "get more
customers"
Alta President Stuart G. Tip
ton said each airline will have
to calculate whether a fare in
crease at this time would be
advantageous-"and only time
will give a positive answer as
to how a modest fare increase
would affect carrier earnings"
Mr.. Upton, preferring not to
look the gift horse in the mouth,
said the Boards action sis an
indication of its awarenesS of
the financial problems being
faced by the airlines."
THE board, he said, should
be congratulated for taking this
and other actions which might
permit the airlines to work their
way out of their economic prob
lens"

Perry Como, only different"
"You get reverse fan mail?"
Exactly" he said He added that the re-
verse, or protest fan mail takes bizarre FORMS
In reaction against moves designed to educate
the public to the fact that big envelopes would
get stuck in machines he said, he received a
huge post card from Seattle.
1T was as big as my desk blotter 1t had the
arrogant direction, Please do not bend on it,"
said Mr.. Farley.
He said the post office always has had a
law providing 10cent charge for returning
illegal mail, such as bottle caps in envelopes.
But since the bottle caps wreck postal machin-
cry, the post office now is going to enforce the
1O-cent charge.
Coca Cola was very good. We contacted
them recently about their bottle caps and they
said they wouldn't ask people for them any
more. They were under the assumption they
had cleared the sending of bottle tops with the
post office legal department.
But it's a question of AVAILABILITY rather
than legality" said Mr.. Farley I'VE don't get
cooperation from other firms, we'll have to ask
for legislation"
Is Big Business the only offender against
mechanization of the mails?
"Grandmothers are a big problem" said
Mr.. Farley thoughtfully. They send their
grandsOns pencils, coins and little presents in
letters"
ACKNOWLEDGING that to work out mini
"A mum sizes for letters took several years of
consultation with stationery companies, Mr..
Farley said that in the past there was a lot of
opposition to Standardization of letter sizes.
But the companies realize now that any
future postal mechanization is going to depend
on the degree Of Standardization" he said.
This analysis was confirmed at the city
post office, where Warren Hurley, knOwledg-
able chief Ofthe postal laboratory, said Mark II
is causing the redesign of many stamps and the
setting of minimum envelopes sizes.
We've been eight years getting the artists
and mechanizers together" said Mr. Hurley.
Mark ii, the automatic cancelling machine
that handles 10000 letters an hour, is forcing
stamp artists to change their designs. Some IS
Mark lis are on hand for use in large cities; 76
more are on order
This years Christmas stamp, for instance,
had to be redesigned because Mark II wouldn't
take a second look at it when it was tested. The
stamp now has solid red border across the
bottom, less artistic but more to Mark IFS

LLWHAT Is autOmat1On doing 10 the
w mails?" the editor growled pOring
over post office circular on minimum letter
sizes.
What are the MAILS doing to automa-
tom" we smugged.
FIND QUIT" he beloved unsmilingly. So
we found out that some mail eats machines and
you can help it not to by not feeding the ma
chimes, please. And that color blind machine
named Mark has caused stamps to be rede-
signed, as well as setting minimum sizes for
letters.
Mr.. James Farley the sweettalking post
office public relations director mot to be con-
fused with the former Postmaster General of
the same name), first tried in time-honored
public relations fashion to put us off the track
The post office has no autOmation," he
said
mo automation? But the editor said :. :"
I'VE have mechanizatiOn, said Mr.. Farley
firmly
Well never have robots marching along
the streets delivering mall" he pledged. If it
did happen that way, we reflected there would
be lot Of surprised dogs.
Later, on trip through the big postal labO
ratory near Union Station, it was confirmed
that Mr.. Farley knew his postal lingo. Someone
explained that autOmation meant that the ma
chimes moved at a set pace, whereas mechani-
zation means that employees can slow the ma
chimes down. Or speed them up, if they like.
This auto. er, mechanization is causing
some Standardization Of envelopes. Starting
next Tuesday, the minimum size of envelopes
will be "" larger, or 3"x4A".
If you try to mail any smaller envelopes,
you'll get them back with an added 10cent
charge The stationery companies are cooper
ating by making their smaller envelopes larger.
But you may have to throw away your old
thankyounOte stationery, or use it to write
yourself Now -RememberThi notes with, or to
keep buttons in
Junk that might eat machines is going to
be returned starting Tuesday, too. False teeth,
for instance The post office actually has got
ten these in letters)
Are people complaining about the stand
ardization? Yes, they're complaining says
Mr. Farley, but he's only mildly concerned.

Bud, you just can't send anything you want
through the mail you get reaction" said Mr..
Farley. so we try to educate the public, say
ing if they want effective service they will have
to help. But we had to lay down the law on
