March 13. 1P.fin--H West's 'Burglar Alarm' Described By UPI Chief Editor's Note: Here h an ex clusive dispatch describing a giant "burglar alarm" system that the Western powers are erecting along the Iron Curtain, in Kurope. Hith erto unpublished information in this dispatch has been cleared with the proper authorities. By Frank II. Bartholomew President, United Press International Copyright 1960 by UPI NEW YORK (UPH-A gigantic military communications system, designed to run an electronic fence around Europe's edge ol the Iron Curtain, is nearing com pletion across an 8,845-mile arc from Norway to Turkey, United press International learned today. Eighty six powerful transmit ting and relay stations across nine NATO countries constitute the electronic frontier facing the Soviet Union and its satellites. This is the largest single pack s;c of its kind in history. The project, already half com pleted, will cost between 50 and 75 million dollars in electronic in stallations alone. In addition, each host country contributes land, buildings and operating person nel. Its purpose is to provide instant naming to the NATO nations and to the Allied supreme command post in Paris in event of surprise enemy attack at any point. The great alarm system begins at a point 530 miles north of the Arctic Circle, then swings in a Turkish crescent to Asia Minor, interlocking Norway, Denmark, West Germany, England, Bel gium. France, Italy, Greece and Turkey. Feeder stations are under con dlruction on the Faeroe Islands between Scotland and Iceland and on Malta. Crete and Cyprus in the Mediterranean. The Norwegian section is al ready operational. Construction there was begun in May, 1857, and on Aug. 12, 1058, the system was quietly inaugurated. In a year and a half of intense mili taiy testing, it has demonstrated "circuit availability" 99.7 per cent of 24 hours daily. .Much of the program has been under security restrictions since its inception. Some of it still is. However, at the half-way point in construction, with the sensitive northern end already functioning and successful operation of the Basin Briefs Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Parker, Dairy, visited Carlsbad Caverns National Park, New Mexico, re cently, Mr. and Mrs. W.

Ace stands for Allied Command Europe, high because the system is what the electronic engineers call tropospheric scatter forward and utilizes transmitters often lo cated upon the highest mountain tops. The section already operating in Norway is called "Hot Line." It was financed by the United Stales. Soon it will be melded into Ace High. The tremendous job of synchro nizing the station operators and maintenance personnel, who speak eight separate languages, will be undertaken in April in a school now nearing completion at he Italian air force base at Latins, 40 miles southwest of Rome. Teacher will be International Standard Engineering, Inc., a ;:ub.sidiary of International Tele phone and Telegraph Corp., which engineered the entire project un der contract with "SHAPE" Su preme Headquarters Allied Pow ers Europe. 'the students will he the young men. military and civilian, upon whose precise understanding of the highly technical data Eu rope's chances of survival may rest. Heart of the Ace High network is the SHAPE command in Paris. To this control center any report of a sudden military move at any point along the whole long per imeter of the Iron Curtain will be instantly communicated, A basic value of Ace High is that its operations are independ ent of the various national com munications systems, which could be silenced by sabotage or sud den enemy invasion. Further, it is not susceptible to interruption by atmospheric con ditions or sunspots, as is ordinary radio. Nor can it he jammed by nearby enemy stations.

KLAMATH COUNTY CHAMBER Of COMMERCE The Harney County Chamber of Commerce in Burns is faced with problem similar to one which confronted the Klamath County Chamber of Commerce nine years ago. The airport in Burns is not a paying proposition, and the chamber would like to correct the situation. Harold Jones. Klamath Falls air port manager, and Ned Putnam, president of the Oregon Pilots As sociation, met with the Harney County Chamber this week to ren der all possible assistance. "Doc" Noggle, Bonnie Adamson an avid private pilot and I were for tunate enough to be passengers on the flight to Burns and return with Ned at the controls of his Aero Commander. Following a chamber luncheon, at which Jones and Putnam stressed the value of developing private flying to increase airport revenues, these same two aviation enthusiasts met with the Burns City Council in a specially called meeting. Although no two communities have the same airport problems. the combined efforts of the cham ber, city administration and pri vate flying interests can't help but olve them. At any rate, it worked here. It was in 1S5I that the Klamath Falls city administration first ap proached the chamber for assist ance in an airport situation char acterized by a steadily worsening financing picture. Today, Klamath Falls has an airport with runways capable of accommodating all types of aircraft, including the heaviest jet airliner; navigational aids and safety factors equalled by only a handful of airports around the nation, and a fine new terminal building which will he for- A CURE-ALL MEMPHIS.

(UPI) City Judge Beverly Boushe dismissed charges of public drunkenness against James Ncal, 55, Friday after Neal said he was trying to cure a gallstone attack with a home remedy compounded of beer, epsom salts, vinegar, water, gin and a cup of laundry blueing.

MILLER CO. 7th. end Klamath ' Old) - Cadillac Ph. 4-4154 mally dedicated Sunday, March 20, al 2 p.m. II would be foolhardy to even sus scst that the chamber, alone, was responsible (or this development. As in every instance where lar scale civic problems arc solved, it took the combined efforts of s number of people and organiza tions ... in this instance, the chamber, the city administration, private flying interests and many others. The chamber did play a major role in two phases of the develop ment. Since 1H53. the chamber has presented in behalf of the cit; and itself several dozen brief and petitions in connection with the Pacific Northwest Local Serv ice Case. Untold weeks of study, research and preparation went into these documents the latest of which unsuccessfully petitioned the Civil Aeronautics Board to re consider its ruling against a West Coast Airlines route between Klamalh Falls and Reno. This ef fort will continue, as long as there are matters to come before the CAB which are of concern to the community. The cWambcr also played a ma jor part :n the reactivation of the airport as an Air Force installa tion. Aside from the obvious bene I its of such an inflation to the community al large, presence of Ihc Air Force has meant a lot to the advancement of private and commercial aviation. The pre viously mentioned navigational aids and saleiy factors, installed at the expense of the federal gov ernment, have made the local air port one of the finest, most mod ern in the nation. The cost of these facilities running well into seven ligures . could never be borne by any community other than the largest metropolitan centers. In this rapidly developing age of flight. Klamath's airport will un doubtedly develop new problems from time to time. As they de velop, the chamber will stand ready, as it has for the last sev eral years, to help solve them in the best interests of the commu nity at large. Mike Appling, two lime Amer ican League batting champion, will be a coach with the Detroit Tig ers this season. MOVING?
