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-

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."

NAZI FOLLOWERS"
WARNED BY POPE
CASTEL OANDOLFO, Sept. 18.
(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."
His warning came In a general
audience for Austrian, British. French
and German pilgrims, attended also
by several Americans.
Turning to Germans among the
pilgrims, the Pope asked:
"Whet should we say, or rather
what should we not say, In this
grave hour . . . wherein a new pro
phet is exalted to act and write
against all those who wish to remain
faithful?"
Vatican prelates Indicated this ref
erence was to Dramalfred Rosenberg,
Nazi neo-pagan leader and editor of
the Munich Voelklscher Beobatchtor
which frequently has criticized acti
vities of the Catholic church. .
