Wheat figures fluctuated ner
vously over range of almost
cent a bushel today. Cash In

on the declines. Uncertainties
over the Imposition of celling
prices on wheat contributed to
the uneasiness of the market.
Weakness of oaU and rye was an
other factor.

Young
In Radar While Working
On Plane Communications
WASHINGTON, June 22 VP)
Young and another associate In
radio work, Louis A. Gebhard,
entered the naval service about
the same time and were assigned
to Taylor's command at Great
Lakes. Young had been a radio
amateur and an expert railway
telegrapher. Gebhard had made
radio work his profession. After
a period of employment by the
old Marconi Wireless Telegraph
company, he had set up his own
shop In Buffalo, N. Y and man
ufactured radio equipment.
Dr. Taylor pays high tribute
to their abilities. Both now arc
assicatt superintendent of the
radio division which Taylor
heads, having worked with him
continuously since their first as
sociations. Contlnua Work
After the war, when the three
men had left the navy's uniform
ed ranks, they continued their
work near Washington at the
naval air station, Anacostla the
research laboratory had not yet
been started. Their general prob
lem was Improvement of inter
plane and plane-ground radio
communications. Taylor was
boss, and Young had the mag
nificent title of radio laborator
ian. In 1021 their experiments took
them into the field of radio
broadcasting. Paralleling th
pioneer station KDKA at Pitts
burgh, they accumulated quite
an incidental reputation as pur
veyors of entertainment and or
atory. Their regular programs
Included a broadcast by Presi
dent Harding, first chief execu
tive to "go on the air."
Short Wave Work
By the summer of 1922, long
hours of study and laboratory
research had brought constant
Improvement In equipment and
methods, and Taylor and Young
were spending gruelling hours
under a blazing Washington sun
broadcasting from a fixed trans
mitter to a portable receiver on
the Virginia side of the Potomac
river. They were working with
the new superfrequency, or short
wave.
At the outset of these experi
ments they noticed that ships
moving up and down river dis
torted or "obscured their sig.
nals, as radio expert put it.
Here was the new Idea.
Almost since the discovery of
radio 40 years before, it had
been known that large obstacles,
mountain or great building,
caused distortion In the wave
pattern.
Distortion Noted
But never before had It been
recognired that so small an ob
ject as a ship would produce
similarly noticeable result.
That was the first discovery,
the great principle, which the
naval laboratory scientist con
tributed to the development of
raaar.
It was at this time as soon
as the original findings were
proved that the proposal was
made to try them out at sea by
aesiroyers. But that was con
sidered so fantastic as a practical
contribution to the art of war
that nobody in position to helD
uia anyining Buout it.
Nobody, that Is, except Taylor
and his associates. From the
first discovery of Interference
with the wave pattern, It was
but a short step to evolution of
the theory and technique of
radio-echo or wave reflection.
Reflection Explained
In this the wave is like a
stream of light thrown against
a mirror. Tha fact that it is
reflected proves the presence of
a reflecting object.
The next big forward step
came in 1925 when Gebhard
completed development of the
first radio transmitting equip
ment embodying the electronic
"pulse" principle now used In
radar equipment.
Broadcasting of hlsh-freauen-
cy pulses permitted the use of
greater radio energy without
blanketing out receiving equip
ment during the period of re
ception of a weak echo. It thus
became possible for the trans
mitter to throw out a series of
pulses (their speed is at the rate
of eight times around the world
in a second) against the lono
sphere the world's electrical
roof about 150 miles up and for
the receiver to pick up the re
flected waves between each
pulse.
That made possible the rapid,
accurate and continuous Indica
tions of range. 1
Pulse Principle
The first use of the pulse re
flection was In the field of pure
science. Young collaborated
with Dr. Gregory Brelt and Dr.
Merle T. Tuve of the Carnegie
Institute at Washington in build
ing the pulse receiving equip
ment. The Carnegie people nat

urally were deeply Involved In
the experiments. Between 1923
and 1930 they used tha equip
ment to prove the existence,
measure the height and deter
mine the behavior of the world's
"eleotrlo roof," officially named
the Kcnnelly-Heavlside layer in
honor of two physclsts who had
theorized about its existence sev
eral year 'earlier.
Meanwhile Improvement of
the apparatu continued. In
1926 and 1927, Matthew H.
Schrenk, who had gone to tho
naval research laboratory from
Western Electric company, at
Chaciga, developed ways of
amplifying, sharpening and
shortening the waves which pro
duced about the kind of pulses
omitted by modern radar.
Experiment Piogree
As the Kennelly-Heavislde
study progressed through exper
iments of Taylor, Young, Brelt
and Tuve, their result were
reported In scientific journals of
International circulation. It now
1 known that those report
prompted the British to under
take the work which led to their
development of radio-locators
and presumably German scient
ist got . their Ideas about radio
detection from the same articles.
Whether the Japanese got their
devices from the German or
conducted their own develop
ment of a practical instrument
for use in warfare is not known
here.

forward and again it was In
cidental to other research. Up
to that time the navy's radio
scientists had been interested
primarily, so far as detection
wa concerned, In the tactical
possibilities of discovering 'en
emy ships at sea.
Accidental Discovery
On that notable June day, Tay
lor, Young and L. A. Hyland, a
scientist now associated with the
Bendix corporation, were work
ing on a high-frequency blind
landing system for aircraft. They
had their apparatus set up at
Boiling field, the army air sta
tion at Washington, with Young
operating a transmitter and Hy
land a receiver some distance
away.
The experiment did not go
very well so far as Hyland was
concerned. He was worried by
the fact that periodically the pat
tern of waves he picked up
showed considerable interfer
ence. He checked his equipment but
It was In good working order. He
studied the landscape but found
no source for the interference he
was getting.
Plane Interference
Finally he noticed that the In
terference occurred only when a
plane passed through the zone of
radio activity created by Young's
transmitter. Hyland checked
his observation three or four
times and then excitedly report
ed his discovery to Taylor and
Young.
"I don't believe It, but It's so,"
Hyland said.
"We all got pretty excited,"
Taylor recalled recently. "We
knew that anything which would
detect planes would be of enor
mous Importance In defense."
Why Professoriate
spends his week-ends
as a Section Hand
Profe$$or Richard Tate teaches history. Meeting hiri
the first time or two you'd never suspect that he also
loorfcj on railroad track, with a section crew.
Genial, plump and jortyish, Professor Tate lives with
his nice wife and two youngsters in a pleasant western
town where Southern Pacific trains stop frequently.
He is a member of the golf club, often speaks at War
. Bono! rallies, belongs to Rotary. Not long ago his dah
lias won mention at a famous flower show.
But Dick Tate working week-ends on S. P. track is a
different man from Professor Tate delivering a week
day lecture. He looks leaner, tougher, healthier. He
"eats" hungrier. And he's definitely better pleased with
his part in the war effort ...
himself as an example of what's happening to our
whole conn try in this war. "Nowadays," the Professor
declares, "we Americans are learning that a lot of tough
work most be done if we're to keep our right to a free,
good life.
"J see the trains go by packed with troops and war
goods, and I know that railroad transportation is vital.
That's why Fm mighty pleased I can do a job of work
on Southern Pacific track."

traffic Yon are urgently needed to work on S. P. track
on weekends in this vicinity'
Cith this ad we tapped a reservoir of manpower cagcf
to tackle a real earthy job of war work. And because
over twelve thousand S. P. "regulars" have gone to war,
. we need to enlist more patriotic men to keep the war
trains rolling. We need patriotic women, too.
Southern Pacific serves'the great sweep of West and
South and we're in this war with everytliing we've got.
Short of men and locomotives, we're still going all-out
to meet public transportation needs.
Our strategically located lines contact more military
and naval establishments than any other railroad. S. P.
tracks converge at key West Coast ports point like
daggers at Japan.' Steadily our war load grows. In
mounting tempo until peace comes, the Victory trains
must roll.
So if you have spare time on your bands if you want
to switch to war work come talk it over with S. P.
Come work with us to speed the victory promised by
pur singing rails!

wave of attackers into thai
ocean. The second wave com
prising dive bombers and tor
pedo planes came In barely IB
feet above the water. Twenty
six of these were knocked into
the sea.
Skipping over objectives, tha
Japanese made a figure eight
turn and came back to attack.
Our ack-ack was ready and
trained for the same height and
distance, and before the Nipa
had a chance to press homa
their attack our artillery, land
based and on seacraft, sent 18
more torpedo planes to a water
grave. '
