DeMille ever cooked up for his super-epics complete to Carmen Miranda's half-nude dance. This was the piece de resistance of a hilarious street celebration. Miss Miranda, fiery Brazilian star, performed her dance while traffic was stalled by parading citizens. "I am sooo happecee," she car oled. Then she scampered atop the turtle-back of a shiny red convertible, lifted her skirts, and whirled into a wild version of the Latin samba. Miss Miranda hopped and jumped and skipped, and her low-cut blouse slipped lower and lower until it reached that fash ionable "bare look." 'Mrs. Wainwright Waits For News SKANEATLES, N.

MOORE WASHINGTON, Aug. 15 (UP) The .army, and navy, have un folded the long-secret story of radar, second only to the atomic bomb as the war's most revolutionary scientific development, the margin of victory in the allies' darkest hours and a springboard to the per fection of television and other far-reaching changes in nostwar liv ing. . '. v : Radar is an amazing "seeing eye" electronic device capable of cutting through the blackest night and the thickest fog unerr ingly. It enables fighting. men to track down, chart and destroy a target they never see. Obscured by the atomic bomb in sensationalism, radar possibly has been more valuable because it was at work for the allies When they might have lost the war without It. It turned the tide .in the battle of Britain, helped win Jhe long struggle against Ger man submarines, made possible the precision blasting of- German industry and helped U. S. ships and plants drive the Japanese navy from the seas. Far Reaching American scientists expect its impact on the electronics indus try to be "profound and far reaching." Radar is an electronic device that sends out lightning-fast im pulses and then records the re flections. These reflections are. translation to a screen that pro vides a rough "picture" of the surrounding land, sea or air. Ships, airplanes, and prominent leatures of the landscape stand out in this picture. The impulses send back their tell-tale -information through fog or darkness. Unseen Targets With radar, U. S. and British fighting men were able to locate and destroy enemy targets they could not even see. With it, the RAF was able to watch the German bombers leave their airfields in France. The RAF then could send fighters to intercept. With it, the U. S: cruiser Boise was able to sink three Jap cruis ers and three destroyers in 27 minutes. With it, the cruiser San Fran cisco was able to sail into a Jap task force with glazing guns and see every enemy ship go down amid the wild confusion. Frenzied Race On the Anzio beachhead, American troops were taking a terrific pounding from enemy night bombers. A new fire con trol radar was brought in, and the nex,t (norning, tljgrpunwasj Like atomic bomb, radar .was the goal of a frenzied scientific race against the enemy. Both Germany and Japan used radar, but theirs was inferior. Radar will bring into the post war world a readylmade billion dollar segment of the electronics industry. The effects of research in thse vast aboratoris toward peacetime uses of radar ultimate ly will be great. For the present, radar itself will have what joint armed services scientific board describes as "a mild, beneficial effect" on every day life. Typical Here is a typical picture: A great battleship moves through open waters at night leading a task force. In the radar room, the screen picks up art en emy ship at extreme gun range; outlining it in light patches on the screen. Radar plots range and direction. The signal to fire is given. An observer watches' the shells move across the screen, sees the salvo land squarely on the picture of the enemy ship, which fades slowly away. The vessel has been discovered, identified, fired on and sank without being seen.
