V, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1948 PAGE SIXTEEN THE ftfeND BUUETtN. BEND, OREGON Radio Howl Now Theft Protection Salt Lake City tlPi Many peo ple remember , the shrieking sounds that came from radio sets years ago when you put your hands close to them. Modern radios have eliminated the shriek. .' But It's still around. It's been put to work protecting jewels, lurs and other valuables. : However, the, noise is gone, as such. The electrical impulses that causeg the howl have been har nessed in a device called the "Tel approach," one of the protection services of the American District Telegraph system. . The 75-year-old ADT has offices and protection systems in more man aov cities irom coast to -ujsi guarding property worth more than $22,000,000,000 for more than 30.000 subscribers. The story of the "Telapproach" was toia nere by i. p. xocom, Bait Lake City ADT manager. ' War Use Found - ' "Before the war, the best pro tection we could .provide for a safe," Yocom explained, "was to encase It in a special cabinet that had an intricate system of wires in tne top, bottom and sides. "When the wires were broken or a door was opened outside the regular hours, it rang an alarm on our central office register and we sent a guard to Investigate." Just before the war, the new system was developed. During the war, us use was comined by gov ernment order to protecting vital military secrets, particularly vaults where the famed Norden bombslght was stored. The end of the war took the wraps off the device and it's gone Into use throughout the country as part of the ADT system. I' V , Wires Concealed - Yocom explained that a control unit is installed some distance from the safe to be guarded. In conspicuous wires run from the control to channels set in the floor. The wires . set up an Invisible magnetic field, like an electrical wall around, above and below the safe. ' : When a person enters the mag netic field, the delicate electrical balance is disturbed just like the hand approaching the old radio sets. But instead of setting up a squawk, the disturbance trips an alarm and the ADA guards come on the run. Other Uses Found In addition to safes, the "Tel approach" has been installed in side boundary fences of manufac turing plants and in many other vital places. Frequently, they are used In conjunction , with ''elec tric eyes" (photoelectric cells) that permit controlled passage through such areas as driveways and guarded walks. Supervisors D. W. Castro and , J. W.Rogers, two other members of the ADTs staff of 20 men in the Salt Lake City office, rate this intricate warning device as only part of their system al though it's a valuable part. Their long battery of clanking signal registers and flashing lights connects them with more than 200 business places In Salt Lake City and Ogden. i Some of the signals are for fires and burglary attempts. Others come from such varied things as furnace stokers and oil tanks. QUICK, PERMANENT LOW-COST CONSTRUCTION fJot thn FBpfu Tortnvl Eugene Strnn Stert Bldg. Co. EUGENE, ORE. Seaton H.

Community Plate 1847 Rogers van Law Publications Show U. S. To Be International-Minded , Washington tin For the first time In history the U. S. govern ment is writing more Internation al "law" than' domestic law. State department officials dis closed that international treaties and agreements . with various countries will take ud about 4 900 pages in the next edition of the official U. S. compendium of new "laws." Domestic laws enacted by con gress this year taKe up only about 1,100 pages. That's about par for an average peace-time session. When congress first began pass ing legislation back in 1789, it gave the job of publishing its laws and international agree ments to the secretary of state. At .first he was required only to publish domestic laws' in three newspapers. Huge Volumes Now Now, he puts them out In huge volumes called "Statutes at Large" which line the book shelves of lawyers' offices. Twenty years ago the pages of domestic law turned out each year outnumbered the pages of international agreements lour to one. This year, it's Just the re verse. "The tall is now wagging the dog," one official said. Hut ne added that It's a good sign that this country now is assuming more responsibility as a world power. The major reason for the in crease is that the chaotic post war period required many new treaties and international agree ments. For example, the edition this year will include several lengthy peace treaties with for mer enemy nations. Also there is the big tariff-cutting agreement which the United States and 21 other nations sign ed at Geneva last fall. That alone will take up about 2,000 pages.

It took a young couple from New York to refresh the outlook of the Boone police recently. The couple was arrested here for speeding.

Hons also added to business on the international front. Still another reason for the boom in the publishing of inter national agreements is that the state department now Is publish' Ing everything, including .such things as an agreement setting up an "educational foundation in Burma." In the past it sometimes considered such agreements too ins en fleam to publish. But now It's taking no chances. It doesn't want ,to be accused of keeping any of Its hundreds of agreements secret. U. S. business for the first 50 years, including domestic laws and international agreements has been jammed Into a few volumes. But it will take six new volumes to chronicle, this year s business. Jobs for Older Workers . Called Coming Problem ' Chicago B By the year 2000 the employment of men and women over 45 will be a major problem of America's Industry. Investigators at Northwestern university said the average age of America's workers is increas ing. The increase carries with it certain significant changes in the nation's employment problems, the economists said. The older workers will benefit over young workers through sen iority, but once unemployed, the older worker will be in for a long siege, they said. The hope of the older union member- is that his union can write seniority clauses Into the contracts with employers providing for his re-employment first in case of layoffs. Another danger to the aging worker Is the Increased rate of technological change. A high rate of change creates opportunity for young workers and endang ers the older man, the economists said. . . An aging labor force lacks adaptability. Yet the older force has greater stability which may contribute to greater efficiency, the economists concluded. STEADY IS AS STEADY DOES Chicago tun The 15 -year-old boy who applied for work at the Chicago Dally News said he had, to have a steady job because he was helping support his widowed mother and a younger brother. Fifty-seven years later Henry Eagle, still known as "Steady" to his fellow workers, has retired at the age of 72. Eagle began as a floor sweeper and was print paper foreman at the time of his retire ment.

Occasions tTMMKfl!Ol Navy Belatedly Finds ' It's Shy One House Chicago (IP) A $10,000 house was stolen from the navy in 1945 and the theft wasn't discovered until 1948. The navy reported it did not discover the theft immediately because the eight-room house wasn't in one piece when It was taken. Arthur AHlavin of Lake Villa, 111., pleaded guilty to taking the. materials with which his house, was built while he was custodian of the navy's reclamation yard at Great Lakes. Rate Yourself Highly, Psychologist Urges Chicago UP' If people Would look down as well as ud they would live more effective lives. That's the view of a Northwest ern University psychologist who says most people spend too much time looking at their so-called betters. "Stop brooding over your short comings and put greater empha sis on your abilities," said Prof. A. C. Van Dusen.
