RADIO NOW USED Extensive Utilization Made Of Sets Turned Out By U. S. Forest Service At Laboratory In Portland. E I WASHINGTON, Sept. 18. (API The United States Chamber of Com merce said today fall Increases In employment mey bring a labor short-sge. The chember's weekly Washington review said "production snd distri bution, employment and payrolls. came through the"summer months with most of their earlier gains In tact. This Is the testimony of sll of the Indices snd data that can be gathered at mid-September. "On the face of the record, the business of the country at large Is obviously ready to go forwsrd during the tall months of 1937 ss during the fall months of 1936. with steadily In creasing production for the country as a whole, keeping pace with an expanding consumption snd a grow ing export trade, and with additions to employment to the point of a la bor shortage." Prison For Theft ROSEBURO. Ore.. Sept. 18. (AP) William Vsn Stelnburg snd Gil bert Van Curen. arrested yesterday on a charge of auto theft, were sentenced In circuit court todsy to one year each In the state penl- tentlsry.

How short wave radio sets devel oped by tbe United States forest service In the Pacific northwest hsve taken the country by "peaceful occu pation" Is shown In a report issued by A. G. Slmson, national radio en gineer for the service. Brief history Indicates how the perennial buga boos of time and space, vital fire factors over hundreds of miles of Isolated forest, are bowing before these smsll devices. From 300 sets used principally In the Pacific northwest In 1933, radio use Increased to 1,800 stations In 1838 and 2,300 stations up to Sep tember, 1937. Sets to equip these stations turned out by the United States forest radio laboratory In Port land have been ahlpped to various parts of the country. Of the 10 national forest regions, California at present holds first place In radio use, employing more thsn 600 sets of short wave or ultra high frequency type, the report shows. In second place Is the Oregon snd Wash ington region with more thsn 500 sets;, the middle and lake states re gion holds third place with nearly 300 forest radios, and all other re gions, including Alaska and Puerto P.lco, are making more or less use of radio. Outside the national forest field, the Indian service, national park service, bureau of lighthouses, navy, bureau of reclamation, biolog ical survey, resettlement administra tion, national agricultural research center, and weather bureau have ob tained forest-developed radio sets for their uses. (Small Unit Popular Most popular among the radio sets Is the compact ultra high frequency unit weighing only eight pounds. This set sends and receives voice over an optional range up to about oo miles. Another popular radio phone weighing 15 pounds has a working range of some 10 miles on voice and 20 miles on code. What these forest rsdlos have meant In protecting the millions of acres of rugged snd Isolated forest Is hard to over-state, a forest service bulletin says, continuing: Mnch Time Saved "Under the old system a smoke- chaser sent to a forest fire might oe lost to the world for ss much as a day or more. Now he takes a radio as part of his pack outfit. He Is In frequent touch with the lookout or fire dispatcher. If an accident oc curs, If a new fire is discovered, if the smoke-chaser falls to locate his blsze, or If the fire proves too much lor him, radio comes to the rescue. A chsln of radio scouts around the edge of a large forest fire now keeps hesdqusrters Informed of fire front developments and greatly simplifies the Job of fire fighting. Small port able sets are of Inestimable value In cmergenciea such as the search for missing persons. "However, it should not be ss- sumed that radio Is replsctng tele phone In forest protection. The 13. 000 miles of netienal forest telephone In Oregon and Washington wtU con tinue aa the bsckbone of the fire communication system, with radio serving as a vital supplement."

(AP) Pope Plus wemed Austrian Catholics today that their religious rights, as well as those of German Catholics, are endangered by Nazi "anti-church policies."
