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.
At times men come looking
for employment who are not
able to do heavy work but are
able to pile cordwood or do
other light work.

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.
The warning was issued by W.
L. 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-
