Pastor Robot Is U.S. By Norman Walker Of the Associated Press Washington, Aug. 24 Now comes the robot press agent to simplify or complicate, as only time will tell news coverage in the nation's capital. It may even be something the Russians haven't invented yet. Automated press' agentry makes its debut here Monday when a newsman, by dialing a phone number at the Labor Department, can hear a recorded voice tell him what's supposed to be going on in the labor field.

The department, in a memorandum today to Washington editors and reporters, confessed to some misgivings. It plainly labeled the innovation, fashioned by the same private concern that put Telstar in orbit, as an experiment. That science can backfire is well known. So it might be well to explore what could happen if the experiment stimulates the imitative impulses of other government agencies. A few minutes dialing could bring these results: White House, male voice with Dirksen Blasts Demos' 6 P's Springfield, Aug.

24 (AP) Illinois Republicans attending the first half of the GOP state convention today heard Senate Minority Leader Everett M. Dirksen blast what he called the Democrats' six P's. Dirksen said the Democrats have failed in gaining peace, prestige, pre-eminence, progress, power and a party for the United States. The Illinois Republican senator told the nearly 5,000 delegates, "The resurgence of Republican party in Illinois will spell victory four our party in the November elections." Dirksen faces Rep. Sidney Yates of Chicago in the November elec tion.

During the one-day convention. the Republicans renominated three members of the University of Illinois Board of Trustees. Nominated were Wayne A. Johnston of Flossmoor, Timothy W. Swain of Peoria and Earl M.

Hughes of Woodstock. They also named Mrs. Audrey Peak of Winchester to fill fourth vacancy on the board of trustees. The Republicans will meet in Chicago for the second half of the convention at a later date. Corporal Promotions Detectives Harold E.

Cheating international chess referee, pre sented Fischer as a poor loser under the headline "Youngster From New York Bears a Grudge." J'When he was a child, Bobby cried after losing a game," the article said. "At the Olympics in Leipzig (1960), having got into a hopeless position in a game against Najdorf, he found nothing better to do but knock the fig ures off the board. And having suffered a fiasco at Curacao, the presumptuous American decided to rehabilitate himself by means of slander." Alluding to statements attrib uted to Fischer last year in which the U.S. grand master was re ported to have said that no champion could compare with him, the Soviet referee said, "the youngster from New York had to learn through his own experience that the Russians know how to play chess and it is hard to compete with them." Christian Science Reading Room 120 E. Prairie Two American soldiers carried on hospital litters after nearly a year and a half of brutal treatment in Laotian Communist prisons got a warm welcome home today from their happy families.

The two, Maj. Lawrence R. Bailey, of Laurel, and Sgt. Orville R. Ballenger, of Colum bus, Ohio, lookad surprisingly chipper considering their ordeal.

They still appeared thin but were without the beards they had when freed a week ago along with three other Americans under the Ge neva peace accords. An ambulance plane brought them to Andrews Air Force Base in suburban Maryland, landing under a dazzling midday sua, First to be carried down ramp was the 28-year-old sergeant. His pretty 28-year-old Japanese wife showered him with kisses. Mrs. Ballenger speaks only a few words of English and was accom panied by a translator.

Moments later Bailey, 39, was carried down the ramp, where at the foot stood his wife and three children Lawrence III, 16; Bar bara, 18, and Elaine, 14. Hugs and Kisses First the major hugged and kissed his wife. Then he greeted the children, turning with a smile from one to the other. Bailey was whisked off to Wal ter Reed Army Hospital here. Ballenger was taken to the base hospital at Andrews to await a flignt Saturday to Womack Army Hospital at Ft.

Bragg, N.C. The Army said the two could not be interviewed until their conditions improve. Bailey is suffer ing from malnutrition intestinal parasites and malaria; Ballenger Irom malaria, parasites and a bone disease induced by malnutrition. Bailey, who was the assistant military attache at the U.S. Embassy at Vientiane, was captured by the Pathet Lao in March of last year after parachuting from a C47 transport plane which had been shot down by ground fire.

Ballenger was captured in March 1961 while serving as a military adviser to royal Laotian troops. The three Americans freed with them are civilians. The Army reported that Ballenger and his companions were locked in stocks while lying on their backs for J2 to 14 hours daily.

24 The Senate approved and sent the White House today the bill to authorizing $73 million to complete payments to uie Philippines for world War II damages. Final congressional action fol lowed long controversy and international tensions resulting from the House's original rejection of the remaining claims last Mav. The House action had created bit ter reactions in the Philippines. On Aug. 1.

the House reversed its decision, and today the Senate accepted its new bill without a comma. President Kennedy said the final congressional approval "was a source of great satisfaction" to rum. When the original measure went Detore the House last May, strong opposition developed. It was contended that the $73 million re maining unpaid, after $400 million of payments made in the 1940's. would provide "windfalls" for more than 200 corporations, some owned by Americans, and for thousands of individuals who apparently had long since recovered from war damages.

The House votea, zoi-171, to kill the bill. Philippine President Diosdado Macapagal canceled his projected goodwill visit to the United States last June.

No skin turners or cancer de veloped in a control group of mice that lived under the same condi tions but received no cigarette tar in the year-long experiment. "The ideal course," the resear chers concluded, "would be to stop smoking altogether." The researchers are Drs. Fred G.

Bock, George E. Moore, John E. Dowd and Paul C. Clark of the Roswell Park Memorial Institute at Buffalo. Their experiment was reported in the current issue of the Journal of the American Medi cal Association, published here.

They used six brands of cigar ettes, including two filter tip types, in an effort to determine whether the cancer risk had been reduced by modifications made by tobacco companies in recent years. The six brands were machine- smoked to obtain the tar, which was dissolved in a solvent and applied to the skin of mice in amounts equivalent to that from 8.3 smoked cigarettes a day. Skin tumors were produced in 41 of 76 mice that received tar from the standard brands, and in 15 of 60 mice given filter tip tar. Nineteen tumors, some from each group, progressed to skin cancers within the year. The first tumor appeared 19 weeks after the start of the ex periment.

No tumors developed in 66 mice painted with the solvent (acetone) alone or in 65 untreated. The researchers found that among the cigarettes without filters the yield of tar differed by less than 20 per cent. 2,000 ATTEND BONUS CHAUTAUQUA AT SHELBY Shelbyville, Aug. 24 (Special) Shelbyville Chautauqua fans received a free "bonus' show Thursday night as the Shelbyville fire department presented a 24 hour program of local talent.
