Arthur Dome, president
of Dorne and Margolin of
Westbury, N. Y., admits these
possibilities although his firm
concentrates its attention on
antennas for aircraft, mis
siles, and satellites.
Before World War II, air
borne antennas were needed
only for radio communication
and were fairly simple.
"Today," says Dorne, "a
typical fighter plane has a
basic complement of commu
nication and navigation
equipment requiring seven or
eight antennas.
Radar for Gun Firing
"M o s t military aircraft
have a . lot more than that,
such as radar antennas for

"Guided missiles launched

"And, of course, there are
the highly sensitive antennas

Making these complicated

Dorne and Margolin which
started as a small business 10
years ago with 10 employees.
Now the company has vast
ly expanded its plant for en
gineering and production and
maintenance of a big outdoor
testing site with employment
rising to 139 persons.
$2 Million Gross
Dorne says the company
expects to gross $2 million
in the fiscal year ending
March 31. For the first five
months of that year it re
ported net income of $38,000
on sales of $611,000.
In addition to making an
tennas for places' navigation
systems, the firm now devel
ops and makes entire systems.
But, says Dorne, that does
not detract from his com
pany's interest in turning out
the most sensitive and most
effective antennas achievable.
"An antenna," Dorne says,
"can be as simple as a length
of dangling wire. But actu
ally, antennas must be de
signed to avoid drag in flight.
"We must always keep
weight and size in mind, and
shape our antennas to fit into
the design of the airframe."
Problem Compounded
The number required and
the space allotted to them
compounds the problem. With
these limitations, antennas
must be more and more sen
sitive to do their job on su
personic planes and missiles.
If today's engineers can
build antennas sensitive
enough to pick up signals
from space satellites, how
come we get static on home
radios at times?
"That's simple," Dorne
says: "The trouble is not with
the antenna, but with the
AM broadcast band a band
in which atmospheric disturb
ances are picked up by the
receiver. If your antenna
were more sensitive, you'd
get much more noise."
Come to think of it, one
of those scientifically design
ed antennas built into the
"skin" of your house might
cost a pretty penny. Better
keep the old rig on the
chimney.
Hatfield Cites
Failure To Pass
Traffic Measures
Portland-TOPB-The 1959 Ore
gon Legislature came under
fire Monday from Gov. Mark
Hatfield who said' it failed to
pass bills to tighten traffic
law enforcement.
Hatfield urged at a meet
ing of the Oregon Highway
Lifesavers committee here
that persons interested in
cracking down on traffic
violators appeal to holdover
legislative members and to po
tential members for action in
1961.
The governor cited several
specific bills he said were not
passed. One would have im
proved the record system,
another would have removed
the requirement for written
consent for chemical sobriety
tests, another would have per
mitted arrest for probable
cause in some traffic cases in
cluding driving while intoxi
cated, and another dealt with
certain safety standards such
as th'ose applying to seat belts.
Soma Bills Lai
Hatfield said the public had
approved tougher traffic laws
by its support of such special
control methods as placing
National Guard helicopters '
and observation planes in the :
air on the Fourth of July j
week end and placing un
marked police cars on the
highways over year-end holi
days. Rep. George Layman (R
Newberg), chairman of the
House Judiciary committee,
said some bills failed to pass
last session because they were
received late and could not re
ceived sufficient study.
Director Vern L. Hill of the
Department of Motor Vehicles
said the Lifesavers committee
was still divided on speed
maximums. However, he said
a majority favored limits of
70 miles per hour on free
ways, 65 on other highways,
30 in urban areas and 20 in
school zones.

Russian Premier
In Indonesia
Denpasar, Indonesia (UPD
Soviet Premier Nikita Khru
shchev flew here today with
President Sukarno to relax
for a time on beautiful Bali
before plunging, probably
Wednesday, into serious nego
tiations. The two leaders were greet
ed at the airport here by an
array of security guards
armed with sharpened stalks
of bamboo and a double file of
bare-breasted Balinese girls
who pelted Khrushchev with
flowers. -
Khrushchev and Sukarno
were expected to spend most
of today resting and rambling
about the grounds of the
Tampaksiring guest house.
The Khrushchev party
came here from the Communist-influenced
city of Sura
baya, where the Soviet leader
received the largest and most
turbulent greeting that has
been accorded him in Indo
nesia.
Troops had to fix bayonets
to restrain the enthusiasm of
the crowd of about 50,000
which surged into a soccer
stadium to hear speeches by
Khrushchev and Sukarno.
Largest Animal From An Egg?
The Crocodile, Of Course
Seems impossible than an
animal weighing several hun
dred pounds, and often 20 feet
in length, could possibly have
been hatched from an egg,
but such is the unbelievable
beginning of a crocodile; an
animal whose one outstanding
claim to fame is that it is .the
biggest animal in this modern
world that is hatched from an
elongated egg, barely larger
than a lemon.
It is also somewhat incredu
lous that a species of these
creatures, probably descend
ants of the prehistoric rep
tiles, should still survive right
here in these United States -but
they do. In the remote
fastnesses of the Florida Ever
glades, crocodiles still can be
found. Their numbers are not
great, and probably no indi
vidual specimen still lives
that measures over eight or
nine feet, but there was a time
when 14-fpot crocodiles were
common in southern Florida.
Likes Brackish Water
The crocodile, unlike its
relative the alligator, seems
to prefer water that is brack
ish. They have even been ob
served swimming in the sea.
Their preferred habitat would
appear to be swamps and
marshes adjacent to salt wa
ter. Pictures of jungle scenes in
the movies, where a delicate
and beautiful girl is being res
cued from the very mouths of
man-eating crocodiles, are us
ually misrepresented; depict
ed are alligators, taken in
some enclosed area known at
traction -wise as "alligator
farms."
The genuine crocodile has a
Larry Motherwell
Trial Resumes
Downieville, Calif. - (UPD
The murder trial of Larry
Motherwell resumed today in
this small California mining
town with Judge Warren
Steel expected to rule on the
admissibility of evid e n c e
which the defense contends is
hearsay.
Motherwell, 43, is accused
of slayinr Mrs. Pearl Putney,
72, of Washington, D.C., in
1958. Her bones were found
near here a year after she was
seen leaving a Marysville,
Calif., motel with Motherwell.
Last Wednesday, a jury of
nine women and three men
heard District Attorney Gor
don I. Smith call for the death
penalty for Motherwell, even
though the evidence against
the former construction work
er is circumstantial.
The first two state witness
es were relatives of Mrs. Put
ney who testified that Mrs.
Putney gathered $21,000 in
cash shortly before her death.
New Orleans -(UPD- Chair
man Francis E. Walter (D-Pa.)

Un-American Activities said

mittee Thursday to tell why

Council of Churches in the
recent training manual controversy.
pointed snout, while "that of
the alligator is rounded. The
crocodile has 68 teeth; those
of the lower jaw fit into cavi
ties, provided for them, in the
upper jaw, while the large
teeth in the upper jaw fit into
corresponding cavities in the
lower jaw.-The tail is flatten
ed from side to side; the body
covered with hard, bony
plates, usually highly ridged
on the back. The preferred
food of both the crocodile and
the alligator is fish.
We often hear uninformed
folks claim the main differ
ence between the crocodile
and the alligator is the jaw
arrangement. T h e s e people
claim the upper jaw of the
crocodile is hinged, while the
upper jaw of the alligator is
solid.
However this is a miscon
ception; both animals have the
under jaw hinged exactly like
all other animals, including
man himself.
Alligator Hangs On
In securing its prey, which
sometimes consists of large
animals that are incautious
enough to drink in waters
where these large reptiles are
present, the crocodile is prone
to snap and release its grip,
while the alligator, once it
secures a grip, will hang on,
sometimes for hours.
Tremendously large croco
diles of Africa and India were
once held sacred by the peo
ple. Often the reptiles were
adorned with precious stones
and jewels and kept in places
of honor- in the temples. On
special occasions, robes of the
finest silks and satins as well
as luxurious furs were draped
on the lizard-shaped bodies,
and people worshiped at the
"shrine of the crocodiles,"
the largest animals in the en
tire world hatched from an
egg.
