UNDERSEA PROWL ING
MADE SAFER BY LAMP
Gearchlight Method for Emergency
Use Developed by West
inghouse Man.

BLOOMFIELD, N. j. Ip.-A method
for making an underwater searchlight
for emergency use has been developed
by Samuel G. Hibben of the Westing-
house Lamp Co. here.
Il Mr.. Hibben says that the outfit can
be assembled by almost any electrical
contractor or garage man. In studying
light under water he found that an
underwater lamp at night would reveal
objects over twice the range that sun
light afforded. The night range was
about As feet for white objects.
Special equipments are manufac-
oured," he says, "but very satisfactory
results can be secured by an automobile
headlight and an ordinary 6-volt storage
battery. The main requirements are
that the cable and socket shall be
waterproof, and that reflector or shield
be used to prevent the light from shin
Ing directly into the observers eyes"

COM MlTTEE O. KS
PAY LEGISLATION
Brookhart Bill Designed to In
crease Salaries in Lower
Grades.

A favorable report on the Brookhart
bill to iron out some of the inequal-
tiles in Government salaries resulting
from the interpretations placed on the
WEIGH act was ordered today by the
Senate civil service committee.
The chief purpose of the bill Is to
grant an additional increase of one
salary step to employees in the lower
grades who were advanced by only one
step in their respective grades under
the WEIGH law.
Chairman Dale of the civil service
committee. will report the bill to the
Senate within a few days and have it
placed on the calendar, after which it
will remain for the Senate itself to de-
eide whether 1t should be passed at
this session.
In view of the fact that the House
civil service committee has not been
organized for the special session, there
Is considerable doubt whether the
measure can be enacted at this session.
If. however. the Senate should pass the
bill now, 1t would retain its status In
the next session and be ready for early
consideration by the House at that time
Whether an opportunity for considera-
ton OF the bill in the Senate at this
session will present itself remains to
be seen.
