Around the nucleus, however, are rich layers Of rnangenese and other minerals, On the basis of recent cruises, oceanographers now estimate that a fantastic hundreds of bil lions of tons of the nodulee averaging 20 per cent marigan- ese litter 40 million square miles of ocean bottom. For the H.S., which has almost no do- mestic manganese ore of com- mercial grade, and is short on copper, cobalt and nickel (all of which the nodules contain), the prospect of mining the nodules from the sea is an enticing one. For deep-water mining mis- sions engineers envisage a num- ber Of highly specialized craft prowling the ocean floor, Among them might be remote- controlled trawler units, sub- 'merging, scraping up nodules, and surfacing; manned bathye ecaphes raking the bottom; huge submarines pumping nodules into storage chambers. More immediately, two University of California scientists explained last week how the - nodules might be mined using existing hardware. Dr, Herber t E. Hawkes and John Mero of Cali- fornia's- Institute of Marine Re- searches think it can be done economically with drag dredges, simple scoops pulled across the ocean bottoin, Although this would be the simplest scheme, they favor a more sophisticated method, hydraulic dredging. Present hydraulic dredges, which suck up objects like a vacuum cleaner and pump them to the surface can lift granite boulders up to 18 inches in dia- meter. But because the pump ,and motor which operate them are at the surface and subject Her Majesty's Mail by Tom A. Cullen NEA Staff Correspondent Southampton, England - Hav- ing fathered the post office in 1657 and given the world its first gummed postage stamp in 1840, Britain now leads the world in postal automation, with the robot postman just around the corner. Actually, the machine has yet to be invented that can walk up a garden path to deliver a let- ter, but General Post Office en- gineers are working on the prob- lem. At Dollis Hill outside London, where the Post Office has its ex- perimental laboratories, the talk is all of helicopters, rockets and guided missiles to carry Her Ma- jesty's mail. As far back as 1934 a Ger- man enthusiast experimented here with mail-carrying rockets, and Ernest IVIarples, the present. Postmaster General, claims that the idea cannot be dismisied lightly. Marples goes on to pre- dict that the day is not far dis- tant when a letter posed in Lon- don at 8 a.m, will be delivered by rocket in Aberdeen, Scotland, at 11 a.m. Meanwhile in Southampton, the port of call of the big trans- Atlantic liners, the latest in automated postal equipment is on view for the world to goggle at. In the past year postal repre- sentatives of 28 countries have worn a path to the door of the Southamp4on post office, where the machinery is being tested, In order to view the latest en- gineering marvels. to atmospheric pressure, they can only pump the nodules from a few hundred feet down, To in- crease the depth at which they operate, Hawkes and Mero pro- pose putting the dredge pump and motor on or near the bot- tom, permitting the pump to "operate at any depth. While this kind of a rig has never been assembled, all the necessary parts are currently available, Including a fan-shaped suction head to ingest the nodules, and an underwater TV eye to scan for best lodes. Once above water the nodules can be refined by techniques now used on low• grade manganese ore Goes Automatically Showpiece at Southampton is Alf (short for Automatic Letter Facer) a three-ton giant, six feet tall and 20 feet long. Alf stacks letters, scans them front and back for stamps, faces them, counts them, then cancels their stamps. He does everything but steam open their envelopes and read them. But if Britain is counting on Alf to spare,the postman his fal- len arches,' I would say that the postman, flat feet and all, will be with us for many years to come, For Alf is high-strung and temperamental. "Alfie -hates squares," the Southampton foreman confided to me, in explaining the ma- chine's operation, I turned, half expecting to find the 20-foot le- viathan twitching to the rhythms of rock-'n'-roll. But no - the "squares" that Alfie hates are squateee,nyelopes. These flummox the e leions ter which is trained to grope for the long• edge of letters in order to face them with the stamps in the same corner. The Post Office now has a plan to standardize envelopes( there are 67 different sizes in current use). And not only squares, but Alfie hates color postcards. Inasmuch as Alfie's photo-electric eyes are highly sensitive to color, using this means to identify stamps, he goes quietly mad when a color postcard is placed in his hopper. Nor can dummy mail be used to. test machines like Alfie, `New mail is lively, while the dummy Encouraged by recent oceano- graphic probes which uncovered abundant nodule deposits in bath the Atlantic and the Pacific, they feel the U.S. could be •sup- plied "for many hundreds of years into the future with these metals extracted from deep-sea nodules." •- From NEWSWEEK. An Indian in New Mexico was smoke-signalling love messages. to his Indian girl friend a few miles away. S erlden, a test nu- clear explosion went off, cover- ing the sky with smoke for miles. "Gee," said the Indian, "I wish I'd said that." stuff is dead," the foreman ex- plained. "When you compress the air out of letters they become lifeless, and the machines 'don't get the proper feel of them." When Alfie was first unveiled, he was unable to distinguish be- tween the two-penny stamp on newspapers and other printed matter and the three-penny stamp, of ordinary mail, but this difficulty has since been over- come. Post Office engineers experi- mented for nearly two years be- fore they hit upon a method of giving the two-penny stamp a special distinguishing character- istic. The solution .finally arrived at was to print on the back of the two-penny stamp a graphited line, which is easily detected by a high voltage scanner. Nowhere else in the world but in Southampton, where Alfie is being tested, are graphited stamps on sale to the public. Electronic sorters are, also in operation in Southampton. These enable a postman, sitting at a keyboard, to sort letters twice as fast as by hand and to break them down to three times as many selections. Forty-eight is the limit of the pigeon-holes a postman can reach conveniently by hand, whereas the machine sorts to 144 selections. -The next step will be Ye Corn- pleat Robot Sorter which will read the addreses on envelopes, then sort the letters automatical- ly. This will involve coded ad- dresses, and the Post Office is now taking a poll to determine• how far the public is willing to cooperate in the Use of „postal codes. These. Teen-agers Try To Help Three years ago a group of young Pasadenans started, an organization called Ala-teens, a sort pf junior Alcoholics Anony- W418, which is spreading with great rapidity. gancled together for Mpurotrlelmhelopfri the i alccooliPOinligsmwi itnh their homes, they meet weekly, study the disease of alcoholism, how best they can help under- stand their Ill parent and be- come reconciled to the confu- sion and tension in their homes, Their program is founded on the baSic principles of Alco- holics Anonymous, but has a number of adaptations to spit their circumstances, A number of AA members as well as mem.- hers of Alanon (an affiliated family group), have given aid and advice to these youngsters, butmake no attempt to govern them. Weekly meetings are held with group participation, cover- ing typical situations in their lives - dealing with a drunker, parent, shame at bringing friends home, disruption' of their home studies, obeying unreasonable demands, meals unprepared, and numerous problems which the disease of alcoholism has caused in their homes, and which they must meet and resolve. Another phase of the meeting is the open discussion of a member's own particular difficulty in ad- justment to society. Some of those youths are quite malad- justed, some have been in ra- ther serious trouble, but all are helping each other to 'face facts and reality. There are now 10 or more Ala- teen groups -in Southern Cali- fornia with increasing member- ship. The groups are meeting with remarkable success through this program founded on love of neighbour, spirituality and anonymity. In these groups, there is the . . . assurance of anonymity and the participation in a group 'which understands their feels and tensions and talks in a lan- guage they understand. With this mutual help they achieve an outlook which gives them a certain security and serenity otherwise difficult to attain. They come to a better under- standing of the problems of the alcoholic parent and can help him or her in combating the disease. The likelihood that these young people will become de- linquents is greatly lessened, as are the alcoholic tendencies growing out of self-pity and the feeling that they are misunder- stood. Their increase in spiritual values cannot be minimized in importance, Home and family life become more tolerable un- der the Ala-teen way of life. - California's Health (State De- partment of Public Health). "Uncle Nehru" Celebrates "Chacha" •(Uncle) Nehru -- to millions of Indian children - celebrated his birthday on Nov. 14 by driving an emerald-green engine, which pulled a brand- new toy train around a half-mile circuit in New Delhi.. This gift from West Germany and the Indian railways 'to the children of India is the favorite attraction in a new park in the capital, which soon is to include creches, playgrounds, libraries, workshops,' and open-air thea- tres' - all for children only. Nov. 14 is celebrated through= Out the country as Children's Day. This is Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru's wish, and Indian youngsters everywhere treat this obcasion as an extra ' anniversary for themselves. Their only regret, is that they have so far failed to wangle a school holiday from Chacha. In return, at Delhi's National Sports Stadium each year, the children stage a pageant. They come from every state in the union to show off to Uncle, whose joy and exuberance in- variably cause Officials more difficulties than the manage- ment of 50,000 performers. This year Uncle else has a present for the grewit-ups. This takes the form of a slim volume entitled "A Enrich of Letters." This is a collection of letters received by Mr. Nehru through the years from Gandhi, from his father, IVIotilat Nehru, and from many interesting personalities in the Western world, Mr. Nehru's selection seems obliquely to an- ewer the charge that e.e, has becomt impervious to criticishi, for the volume abounds in plain speaking, especially from Ganci,‘ hi Who did not hesitate to cell SaWelletial, when o acasie Arose, "intemperate, intolerant, end'arrogant," The volume tilso nostalgically retails to Indians some of the, highlights of their struggle ftlit Independence and unfolds the niintls of Many of the Men and women' who led this struggle te its brilliant Mid peeeeful elimaX in 1947, Included are some litter§' front Mrs, , 8arojini POeie33,• °rater, and leader Of the Indian. National •Congrpss Party - the only Indian of her age who open- ly dared to, Make fun Pf qandhi end so hell) him keep MS feet on the ground, She sometimes referred to him as Mickey Mouse and insisted on his playing table tennis with her when they were in prison, Most revealing of all the let- ters, however, was the one which young Mr, Nehru, wrote to hie father in 1920, when the young graduate, Just returned to India, who later admitted lie was an insufferable prig at that time, makes his first discOverey of India in a village. He wrote: "Looking at them (villagers) and their misery, I was filled with shame and sorrow, shame at my own easy-going and com- fortable life and at our petty city politics, which ignore this vast multitude of semi-naked sons and daughters of India, sorrow at their degradation and at the overwhelming poverty of my country, A new picture of India rises before me, which frightens me and the gratitude at our casual, superficial inter- est fills me with a sense of new responsibility." Mr. Nehru has got over his shock, but this first experience is always with him as it is with many other Indians, That is why he is always hustling and hurry- ing, impatient at delay. Read- ing this particular letter makes one understand why Mr. Nehru refuses to accept the fact that India's Five-Year Plans may be over-ambitious. As Chacha adds to his years, he seems to run faster and fas- ter, and behind him streams a breathless nation, usually grum- bling at the pace he sets, only sometimes recognizing the need for haste. But his nephews and nieces clap their hands in glee as he races around in jets'- and suddenly descends on them to narrate fascinating %taxies about rockets and man's conquest of • time and space. In Hindi, the same word is used for yesterday and tomor- row as it. is in many other Indian languages. In Mr. Nehru's dictionary, however, today is al- ready the day after tomorrow, In this, young India follows him and Children's Day is celebrated not only with joyous abandon, but also with speed and preci- sion.

Red Sox Will Miss Jimmy The trading of Jiinmy Piersall by the Red Sox to the Cleveland Indians for first baseman Vic Wertz and outfielder Gary Gie-' ger has left New England's baseball fandom with a lump in its throat, for Jimmy Was one of the most popular boys ever to wear a Boston uniform. Though seldom a batting key in the Red Sox story, Piersall's fielding aroused countless thrills at Fenway Park, At times it was beyond the spectacular. It was remarkable. Such experienced judges as Casey Stengel and Tris Speaker have called' Jimmy one of the finest fielders in. American League history. Only those close to the Red. Sox in recent years could fully appreciate the magnitude of Piersall's comeback from a men- tal illness, It was one of the great all-time stories of profeee sional sports, a warm, far-reach- ing story- of the uphill struggle of a young inaii who simply re- fused to accept what others had said was certain defeat.
