12 Fremont News-Messenger Friday, August 27, 1971 Days Of Chivalry Linger On Island Machines Not Only Hear, They May Even Talk Back 4 1 1 asT J' VNIA iv WASHINGTON People and pets can recognize individual voices, so why can't machines? A tractor has been equipped with a device enabling a farmer to stop it by shouting "Whoa!" But, like some toys that respond to verbal commands, the tractor doesn't differentiate, and any word called out loudly enough will do. Researchers are confident, however, that machines one day will be able to distinguish voices and follow spoken directions, the National Geographic Society says. Won't Talk to Everybody Scientists are working on voice-dialed telephones, typewriters that take dictation, spacecraft that can be flown verbally, and security conscious computers, that will furnish information requested by authorized persons and withhold it from anyone else. Mishap Fatal PORT HOPE, Ont. (AP)-A car-truck collision on a freeway west of here Thursday took the life of Michael Ferliano, 55, of East Liverpool, Ohio.

His wife was hospitalized in critical of the most skilled mimics. Aside from regional accents, no two people sound exactly alike. Spectrographs record differences the ear cannot detect. At a Paris conference in 1963, speech specialists from 25 nations could not distinguish John F. Kennedy's recorded voice from a record of an entertainer imitating the President.

Shown spectrograms of the two recordings, they saw the differences at once. Voiceprints, as such graphs are called, have been used in investigations and trials involving obscene telephone calls, bomb threats, ransom demands, and in one case to identify a spy. When a hijacked airliner crashed in California in 1964, comparison of the plane's last garbled message with an earlier transmission enabled a specialist to "read" the spectrogram and pinpoint the words: we've been shot." Spectrographs also can be used to chart such illnesses as heart problems and asthma or the progress of efforts to repair cleft palates and speech deficiencies. It's even been proposed to use the spectrograph's squiggly peaks and blotches as patterns in personalized fabric design. Technicians at Bell Telephone Laboratories fed 22 consonant and 12 vowel sounds into a computer, with rules for connecting them and information on pitch and timing.

The machine's electronically accented speech was limited, but suggested that a computer may yet become a recording star or debate with its programmer. A machine that heeds spoken orders frees its operator's hands for other tasks. An astronaut could fly his spaceship by giving it commands, while he operated other equipment manually. Computers have been patented that store key words. When these words are repeated into a microphone, frequency analyzers and amplitude sensors match them against the machines' memory banks.

By verifying a speaker's identification, the computers can perform security functions such as limiting access to a restricted area or monitoring credit card purchases. Bank vaults of the future might emulate Aladdin's cave, swinging wide upon some variation of the command, "Open Sesame." Mimcry Useless Experts say the equipment would resist the blandishments climate, and scenic villages. Among visitors this fall will be the Society of American Travel Writers, in convention. Legend has it that Helen of Troy visited Rhodes and the hilltop temple of Athena near Lindos. The little town, one of the most famous in the ancient world, gleams a brilliant white.

Elaborate Byzantine designs adorn its whitewashed stone houses. Newcomer Inspired Arts Lindos helped to found and develop the city of Rhodes and for its pains was soon pushed into the background by its illustrious offspring. The new capital on the northern end of the island moved the Greek geographer Strabo to write: "The town of Rhodes is, with its different ports, its streets, its walls and general aspect, a city so splendid that I do not know another one which could be its equal." Inspired by the site, artisans and proud citizens fashioned 3,000 lifelike statues for public squares, temples, and streets. Rhodes' maritime laws became models for posterity. Its school of rhetoric attracted Cicero, Julius Caesar, Brutus, Cassius, and Tiberius.

Nothing, however, matched the great Colossus of Rhodes. One of the seven wonders of the ancient world, the enormous bronze statue rose to a height of more than 100 feet and took 12 years to build. It was toppled by an earthquake in 227 B.C., and the pieces eventually were sold as scrap. The colossus may rise again. Many on the island favor a modern aluminum version which would straddle the harbor, allowing ships to pass through its legs.

i (''f-t'. -Vv 'as, 1 -f i xy i WASHINGTON A bastion of knighthood still flowers on Greece's sun-drenched island of Rhodes. The medieval battlements and buildings erected by the fabled Knights of St. John dominate the old section of the island's capital, also called Rhodes, the National Geographic Society says. Above it all towers the palace of the knights' grand master, a squat, solid citadel built more for defense than luxury.

Cascades of purple bougainvillea spill over its ramparts. Stormed By Sultan Driven from the Holy Land, the religious warriors made the 545-square-mile Aegean island their headquarters in 1291 and successfully defended it against the Turks for more than two centuries. They finally were overwhelmed in 1522 by Sultan Suleiman I who supposedly lost 90,000 of his 200,000 men in the assault. The knights fought so valiantly that the Sultan spared the survivors and allowed them to sail for the island of Malta. Lying only 12 miles from the Asia Minor coast, Rhodes served as a convenient stepping stone for many invasions.

Greeks, Persians, Romans, Saracens, Franks, Venetians, and Genoese all left their marks before Suleiman. The Italians drove out the Turks in 1912. German and British military governments ruled during and after World War II. The island was given to Greece in 1948 under terms of the peace. Greece gladly has braced itself to welcome Rhodes' newest invasion force waves of vacationers attracted by the island's comparatively low prices, sweeping beaches, gentle Murder Suspect Nabbed In I'ittsburh PITTSBURGH (AP) George Smart 27, wanted for first-degree murder in Toledo, Ohio, was arrested here by FBI agents Thursday on charges of unlawful flight to avoid prosecution.

More than 45,000,000 people have visited the National Gallery in the past 30 years. Its collection has grown from 126 paintings and 21 pieces of sculpture to more than 30,000 works of art. The museum represents the dream of financier and art lover Andrew Mellon, Secretary of the Treasury in the cabinets of Presidents Harding, Coolidge, and Hoover, and later Ambassador to the Court of St.

Geometry Solves Problem To meet the challenge posed by the odd-shaped site, Mr. Pei has envisioned a building divided diagonally into two complementary triangles. "The design is a brilliant architectural solution to the problem of creating a major new facility on the most significant undeveloped site still in the Capital's monumental core," says Gallery Director J. Carter Brown. The bright and airy structure, roofed largely with glass, will encompass new exhibition galleries, a library, a terrace thony Wayne defeated the Indians in 1794, paving the way for the peaceful settlement of Ohio.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 28 (EDITOR'S NOTE-This is one of a series of short tours of Ohio travel attractions prepared by The Sandusky County Auto Club for the Fremont News-Messenger.) Toledo's many attractions and a journey into the past to Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village in Dearborn, Michigan highlight this week's AAA tour. The port of Toledo, second busiest on the Great Lakes and ninth nationally in tonnage handled, will interest young and old. An observation deck at the port takes visitors within several hundred feet of the docks where they may see the huge gantry crane, "Big Lucas," in operation.

The Museum of Art is among the nation's top 10. More than 700 paintings, prints, sculpture, books and manuscripts are on display. The collection of ancient and modern glass, one of the most complete in the world, reflects the city's claim as the "Glass Capital of the World." Toledo Zoological Park, occupying 33 acres, is one of the largest municipal zoos in the country. Notable attractions include animal, bird and reptile collections and one of the largest fresh-water aquariums in America. Wonder Valley, a children's zoo, and the Museum of Science and Natural History are also on the grounds.

Many outstanding examples of Gothic architecture can be found at the University of Toledo. The 200-foot Tower of University Hall is a city landmark equipped with electronic chimes. 9:00 P.M. to 1 A.M. AMERICAN LEGION HALL FREMONT- MUSIC BY DAN BIEGAJ AND HIS RHYTHM-AIRES Sponsored bv St.
