J h» OT AC QlcuktoT|3StH£:= Now Placed In Commercial Use The Southwest’s first alter- . nating-current network calcu lator has been placed in com- ... mercial service, as the newly- installed $125,000 equipment at A. * M. was set up to solvs alselrtMi transmission lins and distribution problems of the Dallas Power and Light Compear., The Dallas company, one of eleven Southwestern utility corpo rations which pooled resources to purchase the calculator for the . A 4 M. Research Foundation from Westinghouse Electric Corporation according to Project Supervisor Lewis M. Haupt, happened to draw “first time” on the calculator board. Switching arrangements on the massive equipment, which filU a large air-eonditioned laboratory room in the college electrical en gineering building, make it possi ble to duplicate on a small scale a large electrical system, Hsupt said. Events, such as short circuits, which would occur on the real sys tem also occur in miniature in the calculator network, where they do no damage and do not interrupt service. Thus it is possible to find causes and effects of troubles in existing systems snd to predeter mine effects of changes and addi tions in intricate networks nt s great saving of time and expense. Other sponsoring utiUty com panies, which have reserved time on the calculator during the next . ten years, are Central Power and Light Company, Corpus Christ!; Community Public Service Com pany and Texas Electric Service, Fort Worth; Texas Power and Light Company, Dallas; El Paso Electric Company; Gulf Ststss Utilities Company, Beaumont; Southwestern Gas snd Electric Company, Shreveport; West Texas Utilities Company, Abilene; Lower Colorado River Authority, Austin; and Westinghouse Electric Cor- poration, East Pittsburgh.

Kyle, dean of agri culture at A. A M. for thirty- three yean, ia the subject of a •tory in the June iaaue of Coun try Gentleman which features hia work as Ambassador to Gua temala. Aa an ambassador, Dean Kyle has specialised in agriculture rather than the mysteries of protocol and striped pants, the article reports, and it has work ed like a charm. Guatemala’s experience with a farm-minded envoy might well set the pattern for a new sort of Good Neighlor diplomacy. Kyle prefen to call it “making friends.” The article ia illustrated with color photo- gnpha of the ambassador in Guatemala, taken by the author, Arnold Nicholson, who is also managing editor of Country Gen tleman. “The toll, elderly Texan's ap proach to his duties seemed a bit naive to aome of our specialists in foreign nlations”, the article *aya. “They wen used to the cautious diplomacy of career men, and the eceentrirlliea of millionaire appointees, but this was the diplomatic corps’ first experience with an ag-college dean.” A new and practical avenue for international friendship and co operation between Latin Ameri ca and the United States has been opened up in the past two yean under Dean Kyle’, leadenhip, “ d £• i* "ot lavishly pav ed with dollan. nor has it wand- ered into a maze of politics at either end, the article continues. Introducing a research project, financed by the Guatemalan gov ernment and staffed by our own Department of Agriculture, Am- bawador Kyle ha. been respon sible for a tremendous expan sion of agricultural knowledge in the little republic. Texas’ Lu ting foundation has generously provided turkeys, sheep and bulls with which to stock the country and form a broader base for its economy, A. proof of his abiUtias as an Ambassador of the Boll”.
