r SMALL BUSINESS Hi li A Jackson county unit of the National Federation of Small Business will be organized this week by L. A. Piter, Portland, and D. Gordon Gifford, also of Portland, district managers of the organization for Oregon. The men are also winding up or ganization of units in Roseburg and Grants Pass. The federation brings indepen dent business men together in what the organizers declare to be the largest group of such men in the country. Purpose of the or ganization is to help inform con gress of the independent busi ness man's opinion on legislation and to give the members a chance to express opinion with the weight of the organization behind it, Pifer and Gifford state. Every month the federation furnishes members a circular listing and explaining bills af fecting business. Members bal lot on the legislation and results are forwarded to congress. The small business man has heretofore been the only unor ganized group in an organized cation, the federation says, with labor and monopoly and cartel groups able to bring great pies-sure. SALVATION ARMY NEEDS BLANKETS . The Salvation Army Is re ceiving many calls for blankets and quilts, according to C. Ros nick, officer in charge. Some have been distributed to famil ies in need due to their homes having burned and some to men accepting jobs in the orchards and in the woods where they need bedding. Men are coming to the Salva tion Army In need of work, Ros nich said today. In most cases the officer in charge has been able to find work for them. Any one In need of a man to do tem porary or permanent work is asked to file their name with the Salvation Army at 236 North Bartlett Street.

AUTO SITUATION Washington, Nov. 15 U.R) The motoring public was warned today by the National Automo bile Dealers association that there is no way of knowing how many new automobiles it will get in 1946 because of the un certain labor situation.

Mallon, NADA president, who again told the House Small Busi ness committee that the nation's automobile dealers cannot afford to take a cut in their profits on new cars. Mallon took sharp Issue with Price Administrator Chester Bowles who previously predict ed that the auto dealers would make more money, even on smal ler unit profits, because of the pent-up demand for new automobiles. Radar Proved Vital Aid To Allies In Defeating Foes' Planes, Submarines Wright Field, Dayton, O. (U.R) Radar, since it first was an nounced under development at Wright Field, Dayton, in 1941, has played a great part in pro tecting the U. S. and England against enemy warcraft attack. The Air Technical Service Command said the use of radar for fighter-interceptors stem$ back to the early investigations In the pulse transmission of ra dio waves. The investigations were made independently by the Army, Navy, commercial concerns and the British. The Naval Research Labora tory was credited with develop ing the first equipment for de tection of aircraft from the ground using pulse-reflected method as early as 1936. Passed Tests In '38 Their product was tested suc cessfully off the New Jersey coast in August, 1938, picking up the echo of an approaching bomber 75 miles away. Such early equipment was shipborne and ground Installations and was known as AI (aircraft in terception). It was known for many years that radio waves are reflected from objects in their paths and from that fact, the radar tech niques developed. On a cathode ray tube oscilloscope, In appear ance similar to a television screen, the echoed waves are picked up and registered in the form of "blips," or dots of light. If the object echoing the radio waves moves, its "blip" counter part also moves. Since the scope is permanently marked off In range, the scope reader Is able to tell how far away the object Is, how fast it is moving and in what direction it is traveling. ATSC's Aircraft Radio Lab oratories made the first experi ments in a B-18 at Wright Field in October, 1940. This particu lar set was never used as an AI set, but the experience gain ed formed the basis for an adaptation of the British AI. Naiis Withdrew Planes The British set was modified to suit American needs after much study and experiments. A development contract was given to Bell Telephone Laboratories and production contracts were given to Western Electric Co. The first American AI was in stalled about August, 1941. The value of AI was proved in the European theater during the defense of the Normandy beach-head after D-Day, when the Germans pulled their air craft out of the American sec tor early in the battle. The Brit ish credit this earlier AI equip ment with being the main rea son why "so many owed so much to so few," during the battle of Britain, when a com. parative handful of British planes were able to Intercept and defeat the German Luft waffe. It was through radar equip ment that the AAF shared hon ors with the Navy in eliminat ing the submarine menace to Allied shipping. Victory of radar over the German U-boat was the result of long range bombardment air craft and radar research devices. Change! Mad on Lin Midnight oil burned long and steadily at research laboratories and in the commercial plants. A decision was made to modify the equipment to an ASV (air- to-surface vessel) search radar. All equipment coming off the production line was codified un der a "crash" program so urg ent that daily reports were re quired by the Secretary of War, and completed units flown from the factory to Patterson Field, O., where ATSC engineers aid ed In the Installation into air craft. From Patterson, the equipped planes were flown to LanRlcy Field, Virginia, and to SADU, the first Sea-Search At- Thurtdar. Not. IS, 194S MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE NINE tack Group.
