Clinton Links Health Care To Gun Control
AP
NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. - President Clinton sought to dramatize his campaign for health-system overhaul yesterday by visiting victims of violent crime and challenging Congress to make gun-control legislation "a great Christmas present" for the nation.
"We have a culture of violence, we glorify it," Clinton said after he toured a large teaching hospital and saw patients who were victims of gunshot wounds.
He came to the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School Hospital to promote his health-care plan, but drew a link between it and gun-control legislation.
"We have a decision to make and this is the time to make it," Clinton said, adding that Congress has delayed acting on legislation to control handguns and to ban assault weapons for too long.
He said more than 80 percent of the people who go to hospitals because of violence don't have insurance.
"Let us have the courage to admit that some of these problems we will never fix until we change our ways as a nation. And let's . . . begin with guns," Clinton said.

Elmer Ambrose Sperry ARTICLE from the Encyclopædia Britannica
Elmer Ambrose Sperry, (baptized Oct. 12, 1860, Cortland, N.Y., U.S.—died June 16, 1930, Brooklyn, N.Y.), versatile American inventor and industrialist, best known for his gyroscopic compasses and stabilizers.
As a boy, Sperry developed a keen interest in machinery and electricity. At the age of 19 he persuaded a Cortland manufacturer to finance him in developing an improved dynamo as well as an arc lamp. The next year (1880) he went to Chicago and opened a factory, the Sperry Electric Company, to make dynamos and arc lamps. He invented the electric rotary and chain undercutting machines, and, to manufacture them, he established the ... (100 of 378 words)

ELMER AMBROSE SPERRY
The Gyroscopic Compass
Elmer Ambrose Sperry is one of the foremost inventor-entrepreneurs of American history. He founded 8 companies and earned more than 350 patents, most notably for the gyroscopic compass.
Born in Cortland, New York, in 1860, Sperry was educated at the local State Normal and Training School. There, he already displayed the "Yankee ingenuity" that would make him famous. By 1890, he had founded two companies. In that year, G.M. Hopkins invented the first electrically driven gyroscope. A gyroscope is a disk mounted on a base in such a way that the disk can spin freely on its X- and Y-axes; that is, the disk will remain in a fixed position in whatever directions the base is moved. Hopkins' modification, as Sperry and others saw, made practical the possibility that the gyroscope, once a mere curiosity, could be turned into a reliable reference device in steel ships, where a standard magnetic compass was unreliable.
After years of work, Sperry produced a workable gyrocompass system (1908: patent #1,242,065), and founded the Sperry Gyroscope Company. The unit was adopted by the US Navy (1911), and played a major role in World War I. The Navy also began using Sperry's "Metal Mike": the first gyroscope-guided autopilot steering system. In the following decades, these and other Sperry devices were adopted by steamships such as the Queen Mary, airplanes, and the warships of World War II. In fact, after his death in 1930, the Navy named the USS Sperry after him.
Along the way, Sperry had invented and patented a wide range of devices, including electric trolley cars, high-intensity searchlights, dynamos, and railroad safety devices. After his death, Sperry's company expanded into electronics -- a move he would have appreciated. Still, Elmer Ambrose Sperry himself will best be remembered as the father of modern navigation technology.

OBITUARY
Elmer Sperry Dies; Famous Inventor
By THE NEW YORK TIMES
Elmer A. Sperry, inventor, died yesterday morning at St. John's Hospital, Brooklyn, from complications which set in after he had recovered from an operation for gallstones six weeks ago. He was in his seventieth year.
Funeral services will be held at 10:30 o'clock Thursday morning at the Plymouth Church, Orange Street, Brooklyn. The Rev. S. Parkes Cadman will officiate. Burial will follow in Greenwood Cemetery. The names of the honorary pallbearers will be announced later.
More than fifty years of Mr. Sperry's life had been devoted to invention. At his death, he was said to have taken out nearly 400 patents, about double the number taken out by Edison.
He is best known for his utilization of the gyroscope for the stabilization of ships, airplanes and aerial torpedoes. Only about two months ago a giant army bombing plane, equipped with two Sperry gyroscopes serving as automatic pilots, flew from Sacramento to San Francisco without the guidance of human hands.
He Invented Gyro Compass
He also invented the gyro compass, which eliminated the variations due to the earth's magnetism. Next he invented " metal mike," the automatic steersman, which keeps a ship on a set course. Next he used it to stabilize ships and to keep them on an even keel in all kinds of weather. Later, he applied the gyroscope to airplanes, with devices to give fliers artificial horizons, enabling them to fly "blind" in dense fogs.
In addition, he invented new systems of street lighting, new machinery for mining, electric devices for trolley cars, an electric automobile, a lighting system for motion picture projection, an electric arc light, a high-power searchlight and electrochemical processes.
Elmer Ambrose Sperry was born in Cortland, N.Y., Oct. 12, 1860

World: Under The Sea In Ships
Monday, Apr. 13, 1942
The horror story of the Axis submarine campaign off the Atlantic coast was still being told last week by pallid, bearded men who had come through the prolonged agonies of thirst and sickness in open boats. The progress of the fight against the subs was told in a summary that was not so impressive.
The Navy announced that 28 Axis subs had been sunk and that 21 of them had gone down in the Atlantic. Knocking out such a fleet and its highly trained crews was a good performance. Yet it was not enough.
U.S. and Allied ships were being sunk at a disastrous rate, probably equal to the rate at which new ones were being commissioned (but far short of the rate the U.S. should reach this summer). Submarines had to be sunk faster than Adolf Hitler could turn them out, complete with trained crews.
The subs prowled daringly. One crew, drifting in a lifeboat, told of being followed for five days by a submarine, which surfaced at night and set off rocket signals to other U-boats. The castaways knew why they were being followed: the sub wanted to nail the ship that rescued them. They made no signal for help until the submarine began to lag behind. Then they hailed a passing freighter, which picked them up and made a getaway.
The subs worked close to shore. Off the southeastern coast, a U-boat slipped in shore and sank two barges and a tug with gunfire. She stood so close by that the barge crews could hear the commands of the officers on her deck.
Another sinking proved to the Navy's satisfaction that fifth columnists ashore were keeping in touch with U-boat crews. After the sinking of their small merchant ship; two crew members were picked up by a submarine, later released. The sailors found that the sub's commander knew about their port of departure, cargo and destination.
The most notable individual submarine foe was tight-lipped Donald Francis Mason, 28-year-old Navy enlisted pilot, who two months ago sent the now-famed message: "Sighted sub, sank same" (TIME, Feb. 9).
Upped to chief petty officer and decorated with the Distinguished Flying Cross, Donald Mason repeated the performance: a neat straddle on a surfaced sub that blew it to bits. Last week he got a Silver Star, equivalent of another D.F.C. He also made the biggest leap in a Navy man's career. He was commissioned an ensign, went out to prowl for more subs, more promotion.
