Cumming or Bates (4)

I believe the answer is:

alan

(Other definitions for alan that I've seen before include "-- Turing, mathematician" , "- Bennett, English actor, dramatist, writer" , "Messrs Ladd and Dukes" , "- Bennett, English dramatist, author" , "-- Turing, English computer scientist" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate.
