12 MAIL TRIBUNE, HM, Qroa, Friday, Dimltf I, IfSt gfig POINT Vast Network for SAC Keeps Force of Bombers on Alert By DONALD R. PIEPER United Press International Offutt Air Force Base, Neb. - UPD - The Strategic Air Command's awesome force of bombers and missiles, dispers ed around the world, .would be useless in this age of split second warfare withont a communications network that borders on the fantastic. Lt. Col. Joe H. Beler, a pep pery, 40-year-old amateur ra dio enthusiast and chief of SAC's air electronics branch, put it this way: "Communica tion is synonymous with com mand power." Beler, who began his ser vice career 19 years ago as a private, oversees the opera tion of the nucleus of SAC's vast communications network in the command post buried three stories deep in the roll ing Nebraska prairie at Offutt Air Force Base near here. 4-H Club News Can Canners - The first meeting of the Can Canners was held Nov. 28 at the home of the leader, Airs. Bagley. The name Can Canners was chosen.. Plans for the next ten meetings were made, and goals chosen. The following officers were elected: president, Christy Elrod; vice president, Linda Clark; secretary, Linda Mul lin; reporter, Judy Bagley; conuiuuee ciiou men, x-ciuiei.it: Creel. A demonstration was given by Judy Bagley on the correct way to keep records. The next meeting will be held Dec. 10, after school. Judy Bagley, Reporter. An estimated 85 per cent ef all the cattlemen in the U.S. are small operators, own ing and grazing 200 or less head of cattle. SAC messages circle the globe by telehone, teleprinter, cable and radio. Both normal high frequency radio and version new to the military single side band, are incor porated into the system, Beler said. Network Tested To illustrate the ability of the communications network, Beler once tried an experi ment while flying over the North Pole. He radioed, via single side band, a SAC base in England The English base linked him by trans-Atlantic cable and land lines to headquarters here, where he was switched by single side band radio to North Africa. North Africa connected him with a base in Saudi Arabia by radio relay. Beler sat in his plane over the top of the world and talk ed with personnel in sunbak ed Saudi Arabia via England. Omaha and North Africa. The signal was loud and clear. The teleprinter room in the underground nerve center houses some 76 teleprinters and keeps 268 persons work ing. There is a direct line to SAC bases all over the globe. Conference Area A room just off the big tele printer room is a conference area with ground glass screens on which teleprinter messages may be projected as they come in. This facilitates "teleprinter conferences" be tween bases in which many high-level officers can partici pate. The teleprinters are all out fitted with cryptomatic equip ment which takes messages, scrambles them into unread able garble, then decodes them instantaneously on the receiving printer. SAC has telephone equipment which does the same thing as a precaution against the inter ception of secret messages. GIVE THE NEW '59 MOTOTKDUfc TV DIAG. PICTURE TUBE l ITO!

The CBS-TV drama show William Ewald has turned out a couple of clinkers this sea son, but for the most part its quality has run awesomely high. It's a show that gets intelligent production, deft di re'etion, competent playing and most important, scripts of substance. It is, as some one once said in another con text, the only wheel in town. Summer Camp Horrors Thursday night "Playhouse 90" turned to Steven Gethers' "Free Week End," a play about the competition for hon ors at a summer camp. Stripped to its essentials, it was, quite simply, a war play -a 90-minute survey of a three-cornered war between parents, counselors and chil dren and more, of a war with in the ranks of each of these groups. The premise of the play was a bit difficult to accept-the maniacal covetousness of par ents in the honors competi-tion-but then I suppose peo ple have que6ted and fought over stranger things. However, the play did have more serious faults. For one thing, many of its characters teetered on the edge of cli cheishness: The gentle grocer and his patient wife, the neu rotic wife and her weakling husband, the up-from-the-gut-ter gambler, the one-dimensional boor. For another thing, there were so many characters that inevitably some of their relationships seemed ill-defined. Marvelous Caricatures Despite all this I rather en joyed the play. Some of the individual scenes stacked up as marvelous caricatures of summer camp life-the en forced activities, the nauseous hubba-hubba atmosphere, the sweet-sour ties between kids and counselors.' - And the acting, almost all of it, was fine. I liked par ticularly Charles Bickford as the camp director-astringent, exacting,' with a large touch of weariness.. Kim Hunter, James Whitmore, Nina Foch, Jim Backus, Buddy Ebsen and Jack, Albertson also' were on board to good effect.
