Emergency Vessels
Ahead Of Schedule,
u. 5. Board Reports
Maritime Commission
Expected to Increase
Building Program
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Its vast emergency ship construct
ton program, the Maritime Com
mission reported today, is well
ahead of schedule" and ships will
go down the ways in November, a
full month ahead of contract dates.
The emergency program, distinct
from the commissions long-range
construction program, calls for Az
vessels, most of them ito be built in
newly established yards, but in
formed sources predicted the pro-
gram might be increased in the near
future to provide additional tonnage
for this country and Great Britain.
Keel Layings Advanced.
The Oregon Shipbuilding Corp,
Portland, has advanced to May l9
from June 2, the date for its first
keel-laying.
Two keel-layings have been ad-
vanoed in the yards of the California
Shipbuilding Co. at Los Angeles.
One set for June 2 has been ad-
vanced to May II, and another from
June II to May "a.
Contracts. so far have been award
ed for 312 emergency cargo carriers
and 72 emergency tankers, with con-
tracts expected to be announced
shortly for % other vessels, bringing
the total to 412.
The official designation of the
10,00O-ton emergency cargo carrier
is the EC-2, but it is more generally
known as the ugly duckling" be-
cause its standardized design lacks
many of the easy-to-look- at features
of the more costly vessels in the
long-range program.
No Delays i'm Procurement.
Materials and equipment for
emergency ships are being obtained
through centralized purchases. The
commission said little delay has been
encountered in procurement and eff
forts are being made to prevent de-
lays.
Seven new Shipyards established
for the emergency program. the
commission said, are in stages OF
completion ranging up to go per cent
In the long-range program the
commission has let contracts for a
total of 1913 ships. OF these, 108 have
been launched and IS completed
Thirty-f1ve of those completed have
been turned over to the Navy Ex-
cept for the liner America, ordered
in 1887, all of these ships have been
placed under contract since January

Stanford University engineer who
pioneered spectacular radio trans
mission projects around the world.
Its most visible feature was said to
be towers about 237 feet high, spaced
about 10 miles apart along the Eng
lish coast. From these towers, a cur
tain of radio waves is transmitted
continuously into space.
Whenever plane approaches
from the continent. 1t necessarily
passes through these waves at some
point.
When plane enters a wave sec
tor, radio energy in the waves
strike it and bounce" back toward
their point of origin. which may be
one or more of the radio towers.
Delicate electronic instruments
detect any wave thus reflected.
Hence, every time a plane passes
through a curtain, detector reg
listers its presence, and the beam
intercepted locates the invader.
Stanford University records show
Mr. ElWell went TO England in 1886
and 1897 in connection with build
ing IL such towers as part of the
British rearmament program.

Navy Experts Here Worked Out
Principle of 'RodioIocotor|
Alexandra Man
Designed Towers for
British Device

The principle of the radiolocator,
by means of which Great Britain
has been able to locate enemy planes
crossing the English Channel and
determine their direction and speed
was worked out in complete detail
by radio engineers at the Naval Re-
search Laboratory at AnacoStia in
1928 and 1929, it was learned today.
The work was considered abSo-
lutely confidential at the time and
no reference to it ever was pub
lished. 1t still is confidential so far
as the scientists there are con-
cerned. says DR.. A Hoyt Taylor,
chief of the radio division of the
laboratory.
Unusual Radio Towers.
In 1882, however, engineers of the
Bell Telephone Co. hit on the same
device. without any knowledge OF
the Navy's work, and some details
were published at that time In
1885 an English inventor worked out
a very similar system, without any
knowledge of the American work.
Whether the British got the orig
inal idea from their own inventor
or from confidential reports from
the Navy is unknown, but the for
mer is believed to be the more
probable.
1t involved the erection of a series
of radio towers of an unusual type
along the Channel coast. An Amer
lean engineer, Cyril F. Elwen, a
veteran in communications develop
ment in this country, designed and
installed the first series of these
towers reaching northward along the
coast from Dover. Mr.. Elwell is
now a resident of Alexandria, Va.
Similar to Altimeter.
The general principle of the radio
locator, engineers here said. must
be very similar to that of radio
altimeter, by which pilot can de-
termine his distance from the
ground, in reverse.
The science of locating stationary
objects by radio pulses of about q
tenth of a second in duration, re-
peated at rate of about a tenth
of a second, has been developed
by scientists of the Carnegie In
stitution here in exploration of the
outer atmosphere.
Moving objects in wide area
might be located by the same gen.
eral principle. but with considerable
variation in detail.

New Portable Kit Allows
Spot Blood Transfusions
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, June ia new port
able kit for giving emergency trans
fusions of dried blood plasma has
been developed to save critical hours
in such treatment In wartime and
in civilian life.
1t was described today in the
Journal OF the American Medical
Association by Drs. John r. Upton,
B. e. Emery and r. B. Clark, all
of San Francisco, who said its wide
spread use would guarantee a con-
stant and adequate supply for trans
fusions in shock, burns and hemor-
rhage.
The kit is 50 compact and we'll
equipped that it can be set up and
used at or near the place where an
injury occurs.
The kit contains enough dried
plasma, the liquid part of blood, and
sterile water to make q solution
equivalent to 800 cubic centimeters
OF whole blood.
