Ship Officers Claim Emperor
Was Insulted—Geisha
Girls Sit Down.
B? the Associated Press.
TOKIO, March 1.—Japanese geisha
girl* and merchant marine officers
were out on strike today in two labor
conflicts—but with diverse aims.
The men sought honor for the Em
peror: the girls asked only recognition
of the geisha guild to protect the
gayly clad sing-song entertainers.
Eleven ships' officers, not common
*eamen, charged their employers were
disrespectful of Emperor Hirohito
when they failed to order flags hoisted
when the Emperor reviewed the Jap
anese grand fleet last October.
Sit Down in Temple.
The girl entertainers, perched In a
Buddhist temple near Osaka on the
third day of a sit-down strike, de
manded recognition of their guild be
fore they would consider a return to
Osaka's fashionable cafes and geisha
houses.
The brightly gowned geisha declined
police requests to come down from
their mountain retreat, and scornfully
rejected their employers' pleas to come
back and soothe Osaka's tired business
men.
The girls, their leaders said, were
catching up on long-neglected prayers
and sleep.
There were indications the sit-down
strike might be joined by others of
Osaka's 2,000 Geisha, while news
papers reported all Japan's 82.000
Geisha were watching their sisters’
strike with breathless interest.
Ship Is Tied Tp.
The maritime trouble began at
Yokohama when the chief engineer
and ten other officers quit the liner
Katori Maru, tying up the vessel due
to sail for London. Other ships be
longing to the Nippon Yusen Kaisha
(Japanese mail ship company) were
threatened with similar action which
might hamper Japan's largest steam
ship company.
The officers’ union, which claims
500 N. Y. K. officers as members, de
manded that the company's direc
torate formally recognize responsibili
ty for an act of lese majese, apolo
gize in newspaper advertisements, and
reorganize the company’s marine
bureau on a basis of ’ Japanism.” the
religious-patriotic creed of super
patriots.

Mechanical Brain Analyzes
And Solves Electric Noises
BT the Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH, March 1.—A new
kind of mechanical brain, which does
a useful human task and solves the
main noise problem of electrical civili
zation, was completed here today.
The robot has radio waves for gray
matter, and magnetic currents for
nerves.’ It solves the problem of the
“unbalanced rotor.” something no
human mathematician ever has been
able to do.
Rotors are the whirling parts of
electric motors and dynamos. Un
balance is off-center weight. In small
motors a mass no bigger than a drop
of water throws off the balance, with
vibration and noise resulting.
The radio-magnetic mathematician
was perfected in the research labora
tories of the Westinghouse Electric &
Manufacturing Co. at East Pitts
burgh under the direction of Thomas
Spooner, manager of research.
It was given a tryout in Toledo on
CHINESE FAMILIES FIGHT
OVER HONOR OF GIRL, 15
She Is Spirited Away as Kin Study
How to Save “Face”—Teacher
Held on Charges.
By the Associated Press.
SACRAMENTO, Calif., March 1.—
A 15-year-old Chinese girl whose
honor is the subje-t of a dispute be
tween the powerful Fong and Chan
families was spirited out of Sacra
mento yesterday while 250 representa
tives of her family met to consider
means of saving the clan's "face."
W. Y. Fong of San Francisco, head
of the family, said the Fong girl was
sent to San Francisco for her own
“protection."
Chan Fong Yuen, 34. teacher of
Chinese language, was arrested sev
eral weeks ago on the girl's charges
he was the father of her unborn child.
Subsequently the case was dismissed
when the prosecution said she changed
her original story.
The Chan family assertedly de
: manded $3,500 attorney fees and
$1,300 cost. The Fong family refused
; the demand, said W. Y. Fong.

a giant rotor which engineers had
tried unsuccessfully for 15 years to
balance. The rotor weighed 250,000
pounds and was nearly 40 feet long.
For four days the brain calculated.
Then It Indicated a spot where a 15
pound weight should be added. The
answer was perfect.
It has also been tried in manufac
ture of small motors. In one shop
alone it has saved $40 a day, com
pared with former rules-of-thumb
balancing methods.
Like the human mathematician, this
mechanical brain does not need to
touch the "rotor” to make Its calcu
lations.
Magnets gather the "data" for this
radio mind. They pick up every
vibration, down to movements of flve
milllonths of one inch.
A radio pick-up, almost a duplica
tion of the voice pick-ups for radio
speech, observes these magnetic im
pulses. It changes them into radio
currents, which run to a big, black
box, the "head” housing this brain.
On the face of the box are dials.
By turning them, engineers get the
brain to ana lyre the meaning of the
vibrations signaled by the magnets.
The dials finally read the spot where
the rotor is unbalanced and the num
ber of grams weight needed there.
This new brain is strictly a single
track mind. It can’t solve any other
problem. But there are millions of
rotors. In the civilized world human
ears are seldom out of reach of rotor
sounds.

Roosevelt Aides Reported
Split After Study of Eu
ropean Systems.
By the Associated Press.
Informed persons said today Presi
dent Roosevelt has received widely di
vergent opinions from the six commis
sioners he sent to Europe last Sum
mer to study consumer co-operatives.
The commission, It was learned,
agreed to make no specific recom
mendations for expanding such co
operatives in the United States or for
setting up a Government subsidy.
It sent Mr. Roosevelt a 1,000-page
report a few days ago. Each member
filed a separate memorandum on the
possibility of extending the European
co-operative idea in this country.
The President has passed the re
port on to Secretary Wallace for re
view before making it public.
Profit System Substitute Seen.
Some of the commissioners were said
to view consumer co-operatives as a
possible substitute for the present
capitalistic or profit system of busi
ness. They viewed the co-operatives
as eventually owning retail stores,
wholesale units, factories and possibly
even farms.
Others contended the mass-buying
organizations at best offered a chance
for quality purchasing at a savings
for low-income groups in the fields of
food, fuel, clothing and other staples.
On the commission were Jacob
Baker, former assistant administrator
of the Works Progress Administration;
Leland Olds, New York State power
official; Charles E. Stuart, engineer;
Robin Hood, official of farm co-opera
tives; C. V. Gregory, Chicago farm
journal editor, and Miss Emily Bate*,
former receptionist for a Kansas City
oo-operative.
Visited 10 Countries.
They visited 10 European countries
and returned with several trunkloads
of data. Delay In making their re
port and their unannounced return led
to reports of sharp disagreement
among the members.
One section of their report, It was
learned, pointed out that consumer co
operatives were “'big business" in some
European countries, selling as much as
40 per cent of retail store goods, com
pared to an estimated 1 per cent in
this country.
Some of the commissioners were
I known to regard rapid spread of such

co-operatives in this country as im
possible because of the difference in
business and economic conditions be
tween the United 8tates and Europe.
Italian Troops Becalled.
ROME, March 1 (JP).—Recall of four
divisions of Italian troops from East
Africa was announced officially last
night.
The nnouncement said the men
will be replaced partially by other
troops. 1
