It to the Colorado river in Utah
To Follow Colorado
Kerswill said the canoe, now-
ered by a motor, was swamped
yesterday at a point where the
water rushes between two high
walls and forms a boiling rapid
that has defied travelers for
decades.
Eventually, the men said, they
hope to follow the Colorado to
the San Juan river and to Al
buquerque, N. M.
Kerswill said the only expense
of tne trip so far was about $10
a week between them for food
They carry provisions in the
canoe.

Be Research Balloons
Washington. Apr. 7 (U.R)
A navy expert said today the
so-called "flying saucers" may
De just tne navy s high-flying
research balloons.
Rear Adm. C. M. Bolster, as
sistant chief of the bureau of
aeronautics for research and de
velopment, said that s the only
explanation he can offer for the
persistent reports of the flying
disks.
Bolster said in an interview
the navy is definitely not ex
perimenting with any new type
airplane that could have been
mistaken for the saucers.
'What people may have seen,
and I've said this many times."
he said, 'are high-flying research
balloons."

5,700,000 Bales of
Cotton Dispatched
By Marshall Plan
Washington, Apr. 7-U.R
During the first two years of the
Marshall plan, the ECA financed
for . European recovery about
5,700,000 bales of cotton an
amount equal to almost one-half
the annual U. S. Crop.
This cotton, the economic co
operation administration said
last night in a statement, cost
$944 million. It represents rough
ly half of the annual cotton crop
here, which averages 12 million
bales.
The agency said that cotton
has contributed as much as any
other recovery commodity to
western European employment;
that cotton textiles now require
the working efforts of at least
5 million persons.
Consumption Increased
"Shipments of American cot
ton have Increased cotton con
sumDtion in the participating
countries to 90 per cent of the
prewar level, compared with 80
per cent before ECA," the state
ment said.
It added that even this level
of consumption is short of the
1052 goal of 7,500.000 bales. ECA
aid ends on June 30, 1952. Mean
while, cotton textile prices, very
high in 1948, have declined ap
oreclativelv with the increased
supplies to Europe. ECA said.
Four ERP nations France,
western Germany, Italy and Brit
ain have received 90 per cent
of the cotton financed by ECA.

New Record Set
For Radiophone
Communications
Yokohama, Japan (U.R) The
United States eighth army signal
section has set a new world rec
ord for radio telephone commu
nication. It involves the use of
high radio frequencies in which
the impulses travel in a straight
line similar to a searchlight
beam.
Col. Paul L. Neal of De Leon.
Tex., eighth army signal officer,
who released the information,
said the record-breaking test was
a conversation by this means
from Sapporo, on the northern
island ot rtoKKaiao, to noKura
in southern Japan, a distance of
1.200 miles.
Used Landlines
Prior to the test, calls from
distant points were transmitted
by a combination of landlines
and the radio relay system.
On this occasion Lt. Col. J. E.
Gonseth Jr.. of McHenry. Ill-
seventh infantry division signal
officer, picked up a telephone in
Sapporo and called the operator
at the eighth army switchboard
in Yokohama. He was connected
immediately with Lt. Col. Nath
aniel L. Mower of Atlanta. Ga.,
24th infantry division signal of
ficer, in Kokura.
No Landlines Used
No landlines were used, the
call being completed by radio
relav, both to the north and
south of Yokohama. It was the
first time the entire system had
been put In operation.
The system embraces 22 relay
points located from 50 to 120
miles apart. Since the high radio
frequencies travel in a straight
line, each station is within "line
of sight" of the two adjoining
ones. Directional control of the
impulses is obtained by chang
ing their course at the various
relay stations.
Janan's mountainous terrain
is ideal for long ling-of-sight dis
tances between relay points.
Continuous 24-hour telephone
and telegraph communication is
possible throughout Japan by
use of the radio relay system.
Teletype Also '
While most of the traffic is
telephonic, the circuits are used
also for teletype messages, thus
providing important auxiliary
means of communication for
army tactical usage, supplement
ing landlines. Equipment of the
relav stations and terminals is
all standard World War II signal
corps equipment.
Operating staffs at the relay
stations are teams of six to eight
men who live, cut off from the
world except for radio communi
cation, in specially constructed
buildings to protect them against
the extremei of mountain
weather.
The relay stations, on sites
from 1.000 to 3,700 feet above
sea level, are Inspected period
ically by teams of the eighth
army signal section. Since some
are miles from railroads, por
tions, of the trips are made by
jeep and. eventually, by foot. In
winter skis and snowshoes are
required frequently.
