Man With 8 Children
Foils Electronic 'Brain'
LOUI3VILLE, Ky.. Dec. 3 (AP).—Th« electronic calculator
wae a wonderful machine until Morgan Lawson's new baby
arrived. Now it just can’t cope with the situation.
After the youngster <his eighth) was born, Mr. Lawson
asked Ed Owens of the Courier-Journal accounting department:
"What will 10 withholdings on;
one payroll card do to our elec
tronic calculators?”
SIOO,OOO Damage
"About SIOO,OOO damage." was
the redly.
"We're set up to figure a max-;
lmum of nine. There’s no place
to put a 10th one,” Mr. Owens
said.
Mr. Lawson suggested the.
newspaper use a new set of pay- 1
roll cards. He found out fast!
that wouldn’t work.
Mr. Owens pulled out one
card with about 1,200 tiny num
bers which, when punched,
mean something to the elec-'
tronic machine.
“It would take us two or
three months to redesign this
card, get it to our printer, get
it made up and check the
proofs,” Mr. Owens explained.
"And that’s not all,” he said.
’ “You see that payroll calcu
Doctor Asks Crackdown
On Baby-Beating Adults;
MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 3 (AP).
—An orthopedist today called
for open warfare on parents
who maul their small children
and duck responsibility by
blaming fractures on accidents.
Dr. Donald S. Miller of Chi
cago said the help of the Na
tion’s family doctors is needed
"if the child is to be saved
and society is to be spared.”
He cited growing opinion in
psychiatry that unloved and
mistreated children are 'most!
likely to develop into adult
criminals.
Dr. Miller told general prac-:
titloners attending the annual!
clinic conference of the Amer
ican Medical Association to be
on the lookout for child in
juries inconsistent with condi
tions found in truly accidental 1
fractures.
He said such injuries have,
been inflicted by parents, baby- j
sitters, brothers and sisters of
the victim or even by “the I
lovers of irresponsible guardi-l
ans when children discover
clandestine meetings.”
Such Injuries are most often
found, he went on, in an en-l
vironment in which at least
one adult is psychotic or neu

Mr. Lawson could see. The
; calculator had several hundred
wires, if not several thousand.
“You see that machine," Mr.
Owens continued. “That’s our
printer. It would have to be
j completely rewired to take care
[of a different card.”
Again Mr. Lawson said
several hundred, if not several
thousand, wires.
What to do?
“Just keep punching your
card for nine dependents in
stead of 10,” Mr. Owens said.
“At the end of the year, you
can collect the difference from
Uncle Sam.”
As things stand now. Mr.
Lawson figures he’s in the po

He said fractures of clinically j
uncertain origin often have
been presumed to be the result!
of scurvy, rickets, syphilis, bone'

,j But once in the hospital, he!
added, these maltreated chll-j
