STANTON Through scientific and inventive genius our rapidly growing commercial aviation industry soon will have a new safety aid to be known as "Baby Blabbermouth." The Civil Aeronautics administration announces plans to irmrnll this new safety equipment at major airfields in the near future. It is anticipated that all stations eventu ally will be included. Aircraft now has available devices known as radio ranges and fan markers. The entire country is crisscrossed with directional radio beams broadcast from major air fields. A plane, flying either in or above clouds or fog, can follow any one of these beams. As the pilot approaches a Inndiwr field he picks up the signal from a fan marker. This marker guides him through the overcast to the land ing strip. For illustration, planes now serving the Roseburg port after leaving Jledford are guided by a long-range radio beam between Medford and Eugene. Approaching Rose burg, the pilot picks up the'signal from the fan marker on the local field. He lines up this Bignal with a second control point. Planes currently are using KRXL's radio tower, pending installation of a second field marker. With these two signals in line, the pilot knows he can safely descend to 1700 feet without striking, any obstruction. He comes through the overcast only when notified that he has a 1700-foot ceiling uvcr the field. The radio range and fan marker signals now are sent In Morse code. The pilot must be able to read Morse code to identify the beam he is following. And that's where "Baby Blabbermouth" comes into the picture. Yotct Signal To Supplement Cede In the case of a strange facility, with code identifica tion only, the pilot must consult his book of station listings to ascertain identity of the radio beacon. "Baby Blabbermouth," however, will eliminate this drawback. Alternating with the code signal will be a voice which will keep repeating the range or station identifica tion, Thus, should the pilot make an error in the three letter code signal, he will have immediate correction from "the voice." In addition, "the voice" can be made to give brief Information, such as the fact that a particular range is not connected with a communication station. Thus pilots will not watte time in making radio calls to a non-existent ground station. "The voice" comes from an ingenious reproducer which , gained the nickname "Baby Blabbermouth" because it i never stops talking. The plan has long been considered i and desired but could not be put into operation because of inability to make a machine having long-lasting qual ities. Magnetized wire, tape or film, flexing day after day, broke or wore out. Then inventive genius, so common to this country, brought the solution. The "voice" is recorded on film, sim ilar 10 the sound track of a movie. This film then is stretched over transparent plastic fixed on the rim of a wheel. When the wheel is rotated slowly a light shines through the film onto a photoelectric cell below. The cell translates the variations in light into the voice of "blabber mouth." Since the film is held rigidly in place, without flexing, there is no tendency for it to break or wear out. Safety in air transportation is rigidly controlled by the federal government, working in close cooperation with the commercial aviation industry. Steady improvement in safety equipment, in ground control and in planes and navi gational aids, has contributed much to the excellent rec ord accumulated by commercial airlines. "Baby Blabber mouth" will be another contribution toward the safety of passengers and pilots. In The Day's News By FRANK . (Continued from Page 1) high-up communists are shrewd ludcnls of the art of handling people in the mass. They may fig ure that if they can lead us up often enough onto the pinnacles of rosy hope and then dash us down into the stony depths of disappoint ment they'll be able to break our morale and sap our courage. Anyway, let's keep our fingers crossed and our minds open. Don't get me wrong. I'm for ANY kind of an armistice that will stop the shooting for any rea sonable length of time. For the life of me, I can't see any good that can come of prolonging the fighting in Korea. But let's not kid ourselves that a truce will mean the end of our troubles and will bring the boys home H1G11T NOW On the political front: Senator Margaret Chase Smith of Maine, the senate's only cur rent woman member, was pro posed by Senator Aiken (Hep. Ver mont) today as the Republican vice-presidential nominee next year. "I know she would grontly strengthen our 1952 ticket with anyone," Aiken told a reporter, "and if anything should happen to the President the country would nil be in strong, capable hands. The reporter, as a good news hound should, hot footed it to Mrs. Smith and asked her how about it. She answered: "I appreciate the confidence and faun Senator Aiken expressed in me. But I am NOT a candidate. I am realistic enough to know that there is not even the most remote possibility of such a thing hap pening." I'm not so sure of that, Mrs. Smith. A lot of us are coming rather definitely (o the conclusion that in running our country the women COULDN'T POSSIBLY DO ANY JENKINS WORSE THAN THE MEN HAVE DONE. It's just possible they might do better. Realistic women, such as you seem to be, know that in their own households money has to be spent wisely and carefully, getting a dollar's worth for each dollar spent, or financial disaster is cer tain to ensue. Very few of the men who have been influential in our government in recent years seem to have had any understanding whatever of that fundamental fact. There Is, of course, the unde niable fact (hat giving women the vote did nothing to improve and purify our politics. Women voters seem to have been as easily bam booilcd by the politicians as the men. Hut maybe as LEADERS they might be hetter than they havo been as FOLLOWERS. Anvway, I'm about half con vinced that it would bo a good idea to try it. Tallow-Grease Rollback Causes Advisors To Quit WASHINGTON (.T) Seven members of the tallow and grease industry urirp advunrv -,,mmWtna j have resigned with a 'blast at the mine ot I'ncc .Stabilization for "sacrificing the well-being of our industry to political interests."

WASHINGTON Edward Barrett, assistant secretary of state for public affairs, is still Bending personal telegrams at government expense. I just got one from him. Barrett sent another one not Ions alio that prompted me to dis cuss his Voice of America project in the State depaitment. That one was to Frank Stout, a reporter (or the Scranton (Pennsylvania) Trib une. Slout, in a series of newspa per articles, had labeled Barrett's Bhop a doghouse of inefficiency. Stout had worked for Barrett eight months before he got sick of the whole thing and went back to the newspaper business. When B a r rett saw the articles he wired Stout "politely," he says asking him to come to Washington to prove his charges. I must say that Barrett's wire to me is polite. Eventually anybody will learn to be that way if he works in the Stale department long enough. Here it is: "Your columns re Stout indicate you have not had access to all the facts, including fact that actual tel egram to him simply requested po litely that he cooperate voluntarily by coming to Washington for con sultation about his charges. Sug gest in fairness you should learn full facts, including results of our own preliminary internal investiga tion. Will be glad to go over these and other facta with you fully at your earliest opportunity." To take one thing at a time, let's see how polite he was to Stout. Here is the wording of a telegram which Barrett sent to Stout's boss, the editor of the Scranton Tribune, at the same time he sent the one to Stout: "I have sent a telegram to Frank Stout today, asking him to come to Washington immediately and report personally on his serious but unsubstantiated charges, If he felt that any such complaints were jus tified, he was derelict in failing to report them to me or to other re sponsible managers of this pro gram." Ever been called "derelict" in your duty politely? I haven't and neither had the Tribune edi tor, Kobert J. Arthur. When he read the Barrett telegram, Arthur publicly not in the confines of From 9 A Would you be surprised to learn that the indefatigable Benjamin Franklin first mapped the Gulf Stream? I was, and interested, too. It seems the "mail packets from England took two weeks longer to reach Boston than did the Rhode Island merchantmen manned by captains who knew the current." The item was in an inter esting story about the Gulf Stream Dy tne National ucogrpnic society. Franklin in 1770 was deputy post master general. Ponce de Leon was the first mariner in history to record the existence of the Gulf Stream. After discovering Florida his three ships tried to turn south along the coast. The pilot's log reports that they met a current sucn that, although they had a great wind, they could not proceed forward, but back ward." How much is learned nowadays from the air. When seen from height t!- Gulf Stream "driven by winds, turned by the spinning earth, slowly revolves, always Television Is Being Used In Business And Industry Nl'W YORK (AP) Television is moving into busi ness and industry. It is becoming the eyes for management, to check up on operations, and a valuable new tool for workers to perform difficult tasks more easily and with greater safety. More than 150 business and industrial television units are in operation around the country. They are private tele vision systems operated over closed circuits on cables, di rect from camera to receiver, with no signals being broad cast over the air. Industry officials contend that commercial and professional uses of television will overshadow us role in bringing Milton Berle, Ar thur Godfrey and other entertain ment into the home. Operators in the boiler rooms of the big power station of the Consolidated Electric Co. of New York can see on TV screens whether the three giant chimneys are emitting too much smoke. The superintendent has one in his of fice so he can keep check, too. A couple of department stores have television viewing screens at strategic points 'to let customers see specials being offered on other floors, or look in on style shows. Utilities companies have TV cameras focused on water level gauges of boilers so an engineer can watch them from a central lo cation, and on furnaces to see that the burners are operating properly-Steel mills and automobile and aircraft plants are using television for closeup views of operations from vantage points that would be impossible or hazardous for a hu man observer. Study Rockats The government Is making num erous uses of television, many of which are being kept secret for security reasons. However, some that cava been disclosed art for a private wire told Barrett to take a long leap into Secretary Acheson's lap. Editor Arthur also reacted just as I did to Barrett's suggestion that the Voice of America investi gate the Voice of America. We've had too much of that already, in the bureau of internal revenue, the Reconstruction Finance corpora tion and the State department. Ar thur said it was "not within the province of the criticized depart ment to sit in judgment of Stout's charges." I seconded that, but it made no impression on Barrett, as you note from bis wire to me. He wants me to come over to the State department and learn the facts of his own "internal investigation." I know the facts about Barrett's shop. So does Stout. We've both been writing about them, from the record and personal observation. And besides, Barrett knows where I am. I got his wire a gift from us taxpayers and if he wants to see me he's welcome to drop around. Stout and his edi tor are also waiting for a visit. As for learning the "full facts," as Barrett puts it, I'd suggest he answer some of the critical ones that Stout and I have put on the public record. Stout, for instance, charged that Barrett's assistants spent most of their time spying on Congress so Barret would know how to behave when he appeared before house and senate appropriations commit tees. I thought Stout put it plainly enough. But I'm willing to waste time with Barrett once aain: Do your assistants spy on Con gress? Yes, or no. No more polite telegrams, please. Answer the question. And don't get slippery. You're cased in on this one, Brother Barrett. Hear Fulton Lewis Daily On KRNR, 4:00 PM. And 9:15 P. M. ENDING 'BASKET clockwise. A great swath of trop ical water pouring north from the tip of Florida forms the western rim of this giant wheel. "The great warm current wan ders, sometimes shifting course by hundreds of miles in response to unknown pressures." The Geogra phic society and the University of Miami are making a study of the Gulf Stream. I enjoy reading about the "my steries" of nature, and sometimes I wonder if we are discovering, or rediscovering a great many of our modern inventions. Fascinating traces are left of earlier civiliza tions, especially in Latin America. In Kon-Tiki the author tells of his conviction that the natives of Peru, a thousand years ago, set out on balsa rafts because they knew the current. . .he did it, too! And as always the thought comes of that promise: "The things that I do shall ye do also. . ." Progress toward that premised goal has been going on for 1900 years. . . . studies of rockets and guided mis siles, and in robot planes that can televise target areas to viewing screens in front of observers on the ground. Vlrdo scientists say the field has hardly been scratched. Other uses to which television could be put, they say, include: A watchman in a central location eould keep an eye on several key points to be guarded. Cameras in teller's cages in a bank would male possible a quick check against signatures on file at a central point. A single guird, by means of cameras spaced at intervals, could keep watch over traffic throughout a tunnel or the entire length of a bridge and quickly spot an acci dent or a traffic jam in the mak ing. A camera, with light attached, could be lowered into an oil well casing to inspect the inside all the way to the bottom, or into an air shaft of a mine in case of an accident to facilitate rescue opera tions. The British early this year used a TV camera to locate a sunken submarine. Chicago's "Loop" district Is named after the circle its elevated trarka make in the downtown area. Quality Will Be Emphasized At Turkey Show Next Week The emphasis will be on quality when the prime birds from the Northwest turkey flocks go on display at the North western Turkey show at the fairgrounds next week. For two days during the show Tuesday and Wednes day a trained chicken act will add variety to the affair. Birds will be cooped and pre pared for display Monday and they will be exhibited Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Friday morning the birds will be re leased. Both live and dressed birds will bo shown, and prizes will be awarded owners of the top birds in each division. There will be no admission to the show, and an effort has been made to secure entertainers to give the show more general inter est. At 3 each day, a surprise prize will be awarded in the show room. W, T. Cooney, associate profes sor at Oregon State college, will five an address in the posse room at the fairgrounds. In addition to the bird exhibi tion, there will be a merchants' booth contest, and ribbons will be awarded the businessmen whose booths are judged first, second and third.
