Call for Techniciuns
Breaks Best-Kept
Secret of War
Hy the Associated Press.


LONDON, June 18.-Breaking her
best-kept secret of the war. Britain
called today for a volunteer army
of $4,000 technicians for her newest
sentinel-a radio-wave airplane To-
Gator on which she pinned high
hopes of winning the fierce-fought
battle for mastery of her skies.
Within a few hours after British
offlcialdom disclosed the devices had
been perfected and put into actual
war operation by the hundreds,
Lord Beaverbrook, Minister of State.
called for 10000 men and 5000
women to make and operate the
radiolocators.
In his appeal, broadcast to Amer
ica, Lord Beaverbrook predicted
powerful benefits and immense re-
lief" from the invention.
Robert Alexander Watson Watt,
49-year-old Scottish scientist who
developed the radiolocator, calmly
accepted the spotlight of public
attention but of his mystery device
he would say not word.

"All I hope" said the, chubby,
ruddy-complexioned Scot, ''is that
many more people will be able to
sleep more comfortably in their beds
at night now that the Air Ministry
has released the news"
Mr.. Watt wears clothes of clerical
severity and he could easily be mis-
taken for a curate. There was
nothing somber, however, about his
spirit and his manner was gay and
friendly. He settled back and en-
couraged the newsmen by stating he
was fond of being interviewed.
Just "One of the Boys"
I'm a man of Angus" he chuckled.
Perhaps that is why I get on so
well with Lord Beaverbrook, whose
dynamic energy I admire so much
to say nothing of his homely wit and
his remarkable knowledge of the
Bible.

As Aluminium Center
BY the Associated Press.


GEARHART, Greg, June 10
The Bonneville administration will
demand, with future sales of, power
to aluminium companies. that fab
ricating plants be located in the
Pacific Northwest, said Admins
traitor Paul j. Raver.
1t is perfectly ridiculous" to
manufacture pig aluminium on the
West Coast, ship it East for rolling
and shaping and then return it to
the Pacific slope for plane manu-
facture, he told the Pacific North
west Savings and Loan conferences
yesterday.
Low cost power, available in huge
quantities, has become perhaps the
most important single ingredient in
our defense program" he said.
"" - Nowhere in the United States
save in Oregon and Washington
can power of this type be made more
quickly available"
He predicted the Northwest would
become the Pittsburgh of the light
metals industry, and that the
price of aluminium, magnesium and
beryllium would be lowered.
