17 Mental Patients Escape
From Long Island Hospital
* KINGS PARK, N.Y., UP)—Sev
enteen male patients early yester
day smashed their way out of
Kings Park State Hospital, a men
tal institution, and 11 were re
ported recaptured within a few
hours.
A police alarm described the
17 as “violent.” A staff physician
at the hospital, Dr. Murray Ross
man, classed them as “mentally
disturbed” but he declined to
state in what degree.
The belting patients wrecked
all the furnishing in their second
floor ward, and one of them
chased a doctor, with a broken
piece of a bed. He and five at
tendants on duty in the ward
escaped harm.
The patients, quartered in a
room with barred windows, broke
down a door leading to a corridor
* and ran out into a snow and sleet
storm.
The hospital is on Long Island,
about 45 miles from Manhattan.

Importance of Guided
Missile ‘Thinking’ Machine
Described in Periodical
One electronic system in a mod
ern guided missile no*w under de
velopment is capable of “think
ing” at a rate 10,000 times the
speed of the human brain, accord
ing to an article in the current
issue of “Planes,” official publi
cation of the Aircraft Industries
Association.
More than 44 major industrial
and scientific organizations are
working on prime contracts in
the missile field. These weapons
are being designed, developed or
produced in installations located
in at least one-third of the states.
The importance attached to the
guided missiles by the Air Force
is indicated by the fact that the
1953 fiscal budget calls for a sum
25 times that in 1950, when $12
million was earmarked to buy
missiles.
