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erto unpublished information in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,

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

entire network in sight, it is now
possible to present a panoramic
description of the whole.
It is called "Ace High." 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

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.

CHAMBER
OMMENTS

Assistant Mar.
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-

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.
