|BARRAGE INVENTOR
IDENTIFIES SELF
Salem Man Takes Issue With
Roosevelt Regarding
Status as "Crank."
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SALEM, Mass, December 2e-nalph
C.. Browne, well-to-do Salem inventor,
last night identified himself as the
crank" whom Franklin .. Roosevelt
said was the man who solved the prob
lem of laying an effective mine barragc
| against German submarines during the
World War.
Browne said he invented the "an-
tenane" type of mine barrage referred
to by Mr.. Roosevelt, adding that the
latter had erred in several particulars.
The inventor Of more than dozen
electrical devices said the former AS
sistant Secretary Of the Navy must
have confused him with one Of the
many cranks who offered worthless in
ventions during the war.
He asserted he offered his invention,
providing for explosion Of mines by
electrical contact when q ship touched
any part of the net to which the mines
were attached, to the Government for
nothing. Roosevelt was quoted as say
ing that the crank" asked 10000 900.
Browne added that after the Govern
ment at first refused the invention he
tried it out at his own expense in Salem
Harbor
He said that when the Government
accepted the invention it paid him royal
ties, and four years later bought 1t OUT
right for q sum he would not reveal.
Browne declared he was so far from
being a "crank" that he was put in
charge of the manufacture Of the fir-
ing devices Of these mines during the
war.

Of the reason for Anne's absence.

Yvonne turned away sickened by this
gossip. It might mean nothing at Rll,
and again 1t might mean that Richard
was to be lost to her forever.
She refused supper invitation that
night and went back alone to her
apartment. She sat before the fire
slipping hot milk and staring at the
dying flames.
