Navy Develops Radar
For Hasty Detection
Of Enemy Missiles
Washington - (UPD-The Navy
has developed experimental
radar capable of detecting
enemy ballistic missiles almost
as soon as they leave their
launching pads 5,000 miles
away.
In announcing the project
the Navy said the new device
also could detect nuclear ex
plosions at similar distances
and "could be employed as
one means of discovering viol
ations of a nuclear test ban."
Dr. William J. Thaler, 33-year-old
Navy scientist in
charge of the project, said the
new radar could be developed
into an operational defense
warning system against bal
listic missile attack within a
few years.
In United Stales
Thaler would not say where
the experimental, radar is in
stalled exept that it is in the
continental United States. He
answered "no comment" when
asked if any Russian missile
launchings had been detected
The new device is called
"high frequency ionospheric
back scatter radar." Its de
velopment means that Thaler
has overcome one long stand
ing limitation of radar that
it can see only in a straight
line.
His experimental device, by
bouncing radio waves off the
ionosphere, can see beyond the
horizon and in effect all the
way to enemy missile launch
ing areas across the oceans.
Theoretically, the device
could detect a missile at any
distance. However, the normal
range of an intercontinental
ballistic missileis 5,000 miles.
Double Warning Time
Thaler said he hoped the
new radar could double the
15-minute warning time now
expected in the event of mis
sile attack. That warning
would come from "convention
al" radar being installed in
the arctic.
The Navy scientist reveal
ed that this device, which he
called a "bread board" model,
already had a long record of
successful experiments
For example, he said, it de
tected the Argus atomic ex
plosions which took place 300
miles above the South Atlantic
last August and September,

The Balfish
Is Specialized
It is doubtful, that of all the
20,000 odd varieties of fish
that have their homes in the
seas, any have attained a
greater digression in speciali
zation than the Batfish. Here
is a creature that crawls like
a toad, swims something like
a crippled fish, has a long,
pointed snout like a fox, and
a skin as warty as a toad's.
It was" only natural to have
named this fish after the bat,
for the body is triangular in
shape, sloping sharply back to
a tiny, rudder-like tail.
The Batfish "walks", or
more correctly hobbles, on pe
culiar finger-like projections
under the ugly little body;
these are actually extensions
of the ventral and pectoral
fins. The; body is depressed,
with peculiar, paddle-shaped
fins on' the extreme rear of
the body. The over-all color of
the Batfish is brick-red.
Long Snout '
The long snout in the com
mon Batfish, if such a -creature
can' be called "common",
is long, narrow , and animal
like. The mouth is small. They
are related to the so-called
"Angler Fish," but do not
have the overhead, natural
"bait" that the Angler fish
uses to lure prey within strik
ing distance of the mouth. In
the Batfish clan, there is a
"short-nosed" variety; his nose
is just a "button." They are
tropical fish, usually well un
der a foot in length, spending
their entire lives in shallow
water.
The Batfish has a peculiar
stance while at rest. It sits in
the mud, sort of propped up
by its stubby tail, its head
raised; it looks as if it was
about to crawl up into the
light; up from the mud and
ooze of by-gone centuries.
The fish's shape and actions
seem reminiscent of prehistor
ic fish who, away back in -geological
history, in the age
known as the Paleozoic, were
struggling to escape to the
dryland; or to retire farther
into the ancient mud. Back
then, many back-boned crea
tures crawled from the ooze,
but the Batfish remained in
the sea. Either then, or in the
time since, he and his fellows
have become highly specializ
ed; or sadly degenerate;
whichever way we prefer to
look at it.
During the intervening
time the Batfish has develop
ed some mightly peculiar char
acteristics. It even has a
"voice"; it has peculiar "legs"
on which it pulls itself along.
It has a snout like "a fox!
bright, beady eyes, and a skin
as warty as a cucumber.
What manner of creature is
this; a living fish whose his
tory is as little known today
as it was before mankind had
a written language?
No one can say for sure
whether its shape and purpose
leads onward, up out of the
mud, or backward, into the
ooze, in the ocean's bottom.

Tribune Syndicate, 1959)
Airlines Files
To Extend Service
South to Nevada
West Coast Airlines Mon
day filed with the Civil Aero
nautics board a route applica
tion to extend its service south
from Boise and Salt Lake
City to Las Vegas, Nev.
Two new route segments
are requested to Las Vegas.
One would be from Boise via
Elko and Ely, Nev., and the
other from Salt Lake City via
Provo and Ely. The company
proposes daily roundtrip
schedules in each directionto
be flown with the Fairchild
F-27 40-passenger turbojet
transport.
If West Coast's present
certificate is amended by the
CAB to allow such service,
Spokane and other Inland Em
pire cities would receive for
the first time direct single
carrier service to the Nevada
resort city.
On Sept. 1, West Coast will
start service to Salt Lake City,
Ogden and Logan, as the re
sult of a recent CAB award.
Service to Omak, Wash., will
also start on Sept. 1, with
service to Lakeview and
Burns scheduled for Sept. 15.
The company presently has
an application before the
board to connect Boise and
Salt Lake City with its present
coast route serving Sacra
mento and Oakland-San Fran
cisco via Winnemucca and
Reno,, and via Ely and Elko.
Average U.S. corn crop is

Wall Street Chatter
New York - (LTD -The con
sensus in Wall Street is that
the exchange visits of Presi
dent Eisenhower and Premier
Khrushchev will result in no
dramatic softening of East
West tensions.
"Even if the -meetings
should lead eventually to a
partial thaw, involving a re
duction in defense expendi
tures, this almost certainly
would not come about for a
long time," says Standard &
Poor's.
It sees no reason, either
diplomatic or otherwise, to
depart from a rather fully in
vested position. However, it
cautions investors to be high
ly selective in making new
purchases.
Shearson, Hammill & Co.
also says a cutback in defense
spending does not seem a
near-term prospect, but it
adds that the change in psy
chology brought about by an
nouncement of the exchange
visits canot be ignored. It
recommends a policy of caution.
Bohdex says any thaw in
the cold war could be bearish
on the aircrafts and elec
tronics, both of which are
deeply involved in national
defense projects. It says this
prospect further dims an al
ready not-overly-bright tech
nical picture for the aircrafts.
