recording of finger prints of

facts gathered and for the actual
testing of evidence. Information is

be made available to any court or

Preceding Mr. Pegeau’s interest

Tax Relmn In
The “production line” has hit
the income tax paying business. It
will be but a matter of seconds
when the citizens with incomes
under $7000 step up to make their
annual settlement with Uncle Sam.
Bureau employees call this new
piece of machinery the “Big Brain”
and such it is.
This new calculator can compute
the tax form’s accuracy or inaccur
acy in one-seventieth of a second
flat.
Thomas M. Carey, collector in
22 northeastern Ohio counties for
the Bureau of Internal Revenue,
will use the amazing machines for
the first time on returns filed after
Jan. 1.
The machine adds, subtracts, di
vides and multiplies with electronic
speed. It even has a “memory,”
which holds figures until the ma
chine has later use for them.
One of the devices has been in
stalled and in a recent run worked
“perfectly,” according to those
who watched.
Fifteen of the “Big Brains”
three for each office will be
ready for use after Jan. 1 in Clcve.
land, New York, Chicago, Los An
geles and Detroit.
The calculator is the product of
two years of development by tech
nicians of the International Busi
ness Corp, and Carey’s staff. It
works on punch-card information
which the tax form carries. The

collector’s staff translates all this
information into perforations on
the cards. These cards in turn are
fed into the “Big Brain.”
It will accept from the punch
card duplicates such tax figures as
adjusted gross income, exemptions,
deductions, prepayment credits and
payment credits, store these fac
tors in its so-called memory,
determine the taxable income in
each bracket and then calculate the
combined normal tax and surtax
applicable to each bracket, add the
totals and produce the correct tax
answer. And all in one-seventieth
of a second!
In cases of joint returns, it will
divide the taxable income, figure
the tax on each half and multiply
by two.
It also will take the standard
deduction and specific deductions
and give the taxpayer the benefit
of the lower tax.
The “Big Brain” will be able to
process approximately 85% of the
million-plus returns which will be
filed with Carey’s office between
Jan. 1 and March 15. Returns re
porting incomes of $7,000 and over
will get their usual auditing ex
amination.
An I. B. M. representative who
has worked on the “Big Brain”
says only three or four men really
understand the complicated work
ings of the device. Only one, he
said could attempt to explain it
in taxpayer's language.

Changes At
NeUParkOn
January 1st
Five changes in the personnel
at General Electric’s Nela Park
will become effective with the New
Year, retirements and promotions
being announced."
Martin L. Sloan, vice president
of the General Elecric Company
with headquarters at Nela Park
is retiring under the company’s
pension program after nearly 40
years of service. One of Mr. Sloan’s
best-known achievements involved
the introduction of the sealed beam
headlight for automobiles over a
decade ago. He not only acted cs
coordinator of the various GE
activities involved, but also
brought the various automobile
manufacturers into agreement on
the development.
Succeeding Mr. Sloan is Fred F.
Harroff, general manager of the
lamp department at Nela Park,
who retains his present position
here. A native of Canfield, Harroff
was graduated from Salem (Ohio)
High School and Western Reserve
University.
Dr. Zay Jeffries, who began
service with GE in 1914 as a con
sultant to the National Lamp
Works on East 152nd st., will also
retire December 31st. Dr. Jeffries,
now of Pittsfield, Mass., was on
the faculty at Case Institute of
Techonology before joining GE. He
is still a trustee there. He holds
the government’s Medal of Merit,
the highest civilian honor, for
services with the War Metallurgy
Committee in World War II and
was the first recipient of the Gold
Medal of American Society for
Metals.

Warned To Cross
Street With Care
“Wet or icy streets greatly in
crease accident hazards to pedes
trians and particularly to elderly
people,” H. S. Weaver, Chief of
East Cleveland’s police depart
ment said today in urging persons
in the 65 and up age group to dou
ble their care in crossing streets
during bad weather.
Chief H. S. Weaver is City of
East Cleveland's official represen
tative for the National Pedestrian
Protection Contest sponsored by
the American Automobile Associa
tion and Cleveland Automobile
Club.
"Attempts to walk faster than
normal may result in their falling
and then perhaps being struck,”
he said.
“Elderly pedestrians frequently
depend upon motorists to slow
down or stop for them. While most
drivers are glad to do this when
they can, it is a dangerous mistake
to count on it. Pedestrians under
estimate the distance which it
takes a vehicle to stop. Sometimes
automobiles just can not stop in
time to avoid hitting pedestrians
who walk in front of them,” Chief
Weaver stressed.
“Select the best protected cross
walk, preferably one where a
police officer is stationed, or a
traffic light is in operation. When
possible, avoid crossing intersec
teions at extra wide points, where
you cannot make it across before
the signal changes. When in doubt,
always wait until there is a safer
opportunity to cross,” Chief Weav
er advised elderly pedestrians in
conclusion.

The
Department of the Army, Cleve
land has been chosen as the head
quarters for Information Service
Training Unit, it was annonuced
this week by Lieut. Col. Earl H.
Kelso, local senior unit instructor
and public information officer.
Although this is an entirely new
type of unit for the organized
reserves, reservists, both officers
and enlisted men assigned, will
find themselves with an Army
outfit given entirely to the peace
time training of personnel whose
primary interests lie in public
relations.
Public information training for
the organized reserves being more
or less an unknown quantity, the
unit will operate pretty much on
a write-your-own ticket basis,”
said Col. Kelso. He further out
lined objectives of tho unit as

follows: to encourage and main
tain the useful relations personnel
with the ORC to provide a pool
of professional public relations
reserve officers and enlisted men
during peacetime which can be
used by the Army in any number
of ways in the execution of its
public information program to
provide active duty assignments
for officers and men enabling
optimum utilization of their educa
tion, experience, military training
and skills, to furnish mobilization
assignments which will utilize
fully their talents.

Even Wee Leaks
Can Run Up
That Water Bill
With New York City facing a
water famine, its water depart
ment employees are being sent out
to check leaks in the system.
Early reports indicate that mil
lions of gallons of water are being
wasted daily through indifference
and carelessness on the paxt, of
the consumer.
Remembering a statement is
sued recently by James E. Barnes,
assistant superintendent of the
East Cleveland Water Department
anent this subject, we dug up the
record. Mr. Barnes says it still
holds true. Even the merest leak
can mount to many cubic feet
of water wasted in a month’s
period. For instance:
At 40 pounds pressure, a very
thin leak (similar to a mere
dripping in a water faucet) can
count up to 600 cubic feet in a
month and 1800 cubic feet in three
months at a cost of $2.59. And the
monetary cost is not the least
of the damage. The actual loss
of the water itself is far more
important.
A worn faucet washer will per
mit a one-sixteenth of an inch of
water to flow for a waste of 2,500
cubic feet in a month, 7,500 cubic
feet in three months at a loss of
$10.78.
A leak in the toilet adds even
more to .the consumer’s water bill.
A one-eight inch stream amounts
to 10,000 cubic feet in four weeks,
30,000 cubic feet in three months
and adds $43.13 to the statement
for the three month’s period.
The householder or apartment
owner may not think that the

small faucet for a month’s time
amounts to much. It does however.
It amounts to a waste of 40,300
cubic feet of the water supply and,
if allowed to continue for three
months, adds $173.79 to the water
bill.
A large faucet left running
really hits the jackpot. A three
eights inch stream can click
93,800 cubic feet of water on the
meter reading in only one month,
and in three months will mean an
overhead charge of $404.51 to the
water account.
These costs, explains Mr.
Barnes, are based on a stream the
size indicted running steadily at
the given pressure of 40 pounds,
for 24 hours a day, 30 days a
month.
The water department recom
mends periodically checking of
meters to determine if there are
leaks in the system. Noisy pipes
also indicate leaks. Water con
sumers unable to locate a suspected
leak are requested to notify the
Water Department, MU. 5020. The
