12 Tk N.wt-R.vi.w, Roicburg, Or: Tu.t., Sept. 27, 1949 Pacific Northwest Defended By Elaborate Aerial System That Operates On Full Daily Basis SEATTLE, Sept. 26. iJP) An elaborate aerial defense tystem, Improved irom World War II, wu disclosed today to be operating 24 hours a day In the Pacific Northwest. Every plane that takes off from a Pacific Northwest field or enters the area it detected by radar and identified at a secret control center. If Identification Is not established Immediately armed inter ceptor planes are sent up. It Is partly practice, partly precautionary. Operation of the defense setup was reported today by the Seattle Timet, the Everett Herald and Rep. Henry Jackson ID-Wash). Reporters for the two papers toured defense insiaiiationt with Jackson and military authorities cleared their ttoriet with spe cific locations, radar ranges and number of aircraft omitted for . security reasons. The newspapers said the con trol center, established by thj fourth air force for Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana, ii located "somewhere near Pugot Sound."

This elec tronic warning web extends wett into the pacific and north Int.i Canada. It also probes east and south to guard against any "back-cutting" by a possible aer ial invader. "The general scheme," the Times story said, "is to trv to knock down the enemy far irom the targets, or at least force him to dump his bombs before he enters the target area."

The stories said, however, that thla area hat been given a high priority lor modern equipment because of Its geographic loca tion.

On British Pattern The setup here is patterned after that employed in Great Britain In the Second World wi, with improvemenlt and more modern equipment. The Herald story said the sy stem operatet this way: Picking up planet approaching the northwest area, the radar network transmits the Informa tion to the control center. Here the coordinated detector-attack system goes Into action. If the planes are found to be "unfrlenc1 ly" or unidentified, the control center can have Intercept. ir planes in the air in two to 30 minutes, depending on existing condition! "These missions to Indentify civilian planes give the control center and the interceptors plenty of opportunity to perfect the detector attack technique,' the Herald added. "Light planes popping up from airfields and then landing keep a steady flow of plane markers moving on and off the graphic tables and maps at the control center." The defense system it desig- - .

However, the coal ttrike and the threat of a tteel ttrike may offset other economic gains, he said. Zimmerman's report on non ferrous metals and general busi ness conditions was prepared for the annual metal mining con vention of the mining congress.
