Electronic Brain Keeping Records Social Security 1 Records Shifted l The work of keeping current so- > cial security records on the na- > tion’s 120-million social security account number holders is being shifted to an electronic brain, announced Christian H. W. Luecke, district manager of the Fort Wayne social security office. The use of the “brain” in the central ( offices of the bureau of old-age and survivors insurance In Baltimore. Luecke pointed out, will speed up this gigantic recordkeeping operation, and will save untold amounts of storage space. The newly-developed brain, which uses magnetic tape, capable of compressing records of great length into a matter of inches, or fractions of inches, was installed just last month in Baltimore headquarters, Luecke said. But the conversion of the mountain of pnnch card earnings records to tape was begun last August, and has been proceeding at the rate of about 3 million cards a week. The information on 90,000 earnings cards which would fill a two drawer filing cabinet will fit on one reel of tape about 10% inches in diameter. Beginning July 1, the brain will begin pasting all of the 1955 earnings reported to the bureau of old-age and survivors insurance to individual social security accounts. Between now and July, the versatile electronic computer will be working on another job—finding the correct social security account' numbers for people whose earnings have been reported under a number which does not match with the name of the individual to whom the records show that number has been assigned. About 9 million incorrectly reported account numbers are received each year, and the cost of finding the correct numbers, either through a clerical check of records on hand, or through correspondence, is about 2% million dollars a year. , Bureau technicians have devised ' away of using the brain to locate the correct numbers in about 90 percent of these .cases, and look ' forward to possible savings of as j-nrach as a million dollars a year. Plans are now being developed to use the new “thinking” machine to figure social security benefits, and to make statistical analyses. Military Officers Imprisoned In Cuba HAVANA.!

Former Hoosier Is Top Crime Writer Former Evansville Woman Top Writer -WINTER PARK, Fla. (INS) — A former Indiana newspaperwoman, once judged one the state’s nine prettiest girls, credits an Evansville, Ind. assignment with getting her started on her present "life of crime." Mrs. Gilbert L. Patton, who still detains her membership in the Woman’s Press club of Indiana despite her Florida residence, writes stories about crimes for Fawcett Publications, and other magazine publishers. In a letter, she recalled her days as a reporter for the Evansville (Ind.) Press and stations WGBF and WEOA. Mrs. Patton, the former Marthalee Forgy. of Evansville and Mt. Vernon, Ind. also worked for the Rocky Mountain News and the Denver Times. One of her assignments while in Evansville catapulted her into an interest in crime—other people's crimes, that is. She wrote: “I was sent to do a special feature on Mike Owsley Letcher, former pickpocket, burglar, dope addict and confidence man, who was enjoying the greatest thrill of his life by going straight Mike Letcher had almost unbelievable material in his possession. Driving back over the winding southern Indiana highway, 1 knew Mike’s story was worth more than a newspaper feature.’’ The success of that first magazine article (she signs her name M. L. Forgy) has led to many more articles about criminals and excriminals. By another name — Marthalee Forgy Patton—this versatile former Hoosier also has written a book “A Little Boy and God” which tells of her efforts to acquaint her son, when he was small, about a Person he could not see but about which he had heard many conflicting things. Proceeds from the book, a national editorial board's selection as'an outstanding juvenile book, were donated by Mrs. Patton to her pet project—the Rodeheaver Rainbow Ranch for Boys, at Palatka, Fla. It was another assignment by the Christian Advocate this time, which led to Mrs. Patton’s interest in the Florida Boys Town. She interviewed the late Homer Rodeheaver, evangelist and former song leader with Billy Sunday. < The-book still is bringing funds into, the Italnbow Ranch, which accepts unwanted boys, 10 to 16 years of age, through guardfans, welfare agencies, churches and courts. In addition, Mrs. Patton has just completed another book "Passport to Eternity” and is working on a volume for teen-agers.
