TEL AVIV — Animals
performing remarkable
feats are not, it appears, the
exclusive domain of Walt
Disney. Prof. Robert Lubow,
chairman of Tel Aviv Uni-
versity's Psychology De-
partment, has scientifically
trained and researched the
use of animals to perform a
wide range of activities
which take advantage of
animals' superior sensory
capabilities and natural in-
stincts and have saved
many a human life.
Prof. , Lubow, who for-
merly conducted a number
of animal research projected'
for the U.S. Army and is
presently engaged in simi-
lar work at Tel Aviv Uni-
versity with Dr. Allen
Goldblatt and a team of sci-
entists in cooperation with
the Israeli Ministry of De-
fense, has published in his
book, "The War Animals," a
startling array of security
functions that animals have
been trained to perform.
One such example if Prof.
Lubow's research on pi-
geons used for military pur-
poses. Basing his laboratory ,
training on the principle
that pigeons in natural set-
tings are attracted to
man-made environments
which constitute potential
food sources for them, Prof.
Lubow utilized the birds'
natural instinct in training
them to distinguish man-
made construction from
strictly natural settings.
The pigeons easily
picked out military in-
stallations such as run-
ways, fuel tanks, roads,
dams and ammunition

• In Germany, during
World War II, pigeons car-
ried small cameras which
photographed enemy instal-
lations. Pigeons have been
used in the U.S. for quality
control in examining cap-
sules to reveal damaged or
unfilled capsules.
To date, there are no
known executive piegons.
but Prof. Lubow says, "The
possible uses of animals are
limited only by the imagi-
nation!"

for a wide variety of tasks
including patrolling port
areas, laying mines on
enemy ships by learning
to recognize the type of
metal plating on different
types of warships, bring-
ing tools to deep-sea di-
vers, or retrieving ob-
jects, such -as fest-fired
missiles, that have fallen
into the water.
• In the United States,
dogs are not only used as
sentries and scouts, but as
trackers, bearing transmit-
ters whose signals, during a
chase, are followed by
helicopter.
4 In Hong Kong, rats
were trained for detection of
heroine processing centers,
as their sensitivity to the
processing chemicals was
found to be greater than
that of dogs, and unlike
dogs, their olfactory
capacity was not "burned
out" with repeated exposure
to the pungent chemical.

caches. For the U.S.
Army, which reams of
satellite photos for
strategic reconnaisance,
only a small proportion
of which were of interest
— those with military in-
stallations — the trained
pigeons were even capa-
ble of sorting photos- ac-
cording to whether or not
they contained human
construction.
Prof. Lubow has also been
involved in developing
training procedures for
tasks — such as mine and
explosives detection, par-
ticularly of letter bombs.
During the Vietnam War,
when one-third of all
casualties resulted from
mines and bobby traps,
Prof. Lubow formed a com-
pany in the U.S. to train
dogs in mine detection, sav-
ing many hundreds of lives
and thousands of limbs.
Among the many other
extraordinary tasks for
,which animals have been,
'considered, or, in fact, used,'
as described in Prof.
Lubow's book are:
• An inexpensive alarm
system against intruders in
Vietnam was the use of
mosquitos entrapped in
mesh containers attached to
piano wires rigged outside
Vietnamese villages. The
natural reaction of mos-
quitos in proximity to
warm-blooded creatures is
increased activity, which
would cause the piano wires
to vibrate and transmitted
an electrical warning signal
whenever people ap-
proached the village.
• Dolphins and killer
whales have been trained
