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

Of Cattle Barn
Awaiting Funds
Work on the building of a new
beaf cattle ham will begin as soon
ss funds sre made available, ac
cording to Dr. J. C Miller, head of
the Department of Animal Hus
bandry.
The new barns will not occupy
the site of the burned buildings,
but will probably be rebuilt on a
new site which is further away
from the center of the campus
Since the campus has built uc
around the barns, Dr. Miller feels
that any new construction should
he on the order of the dairy bants,
which are easily accessible but
not on the more active portion of
the campus.
Damage to the center section of
the bant was estimated at $7,500
while ever $2,500 worth hay. which
had been placed in the bant the
previous evening, was sither burned

Edwin J. 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,
