the Prince Georges defense units.
The three, he said, worked in close
cooperation with Robert Sherwood,
county civilian defense chief. Re-
ceiving stations now are located in
Mount Rainier, Cottage City. Bla-
densburg, Tuxedo and Hyattsville,
he said.
In explaining the network, Mr..
Wightman said the most interesting
part Of the system is an emergency
feature which permits the continued
sending of messages even though a
break may occur in the power lines
over which the waves travel When
the waves encounter a break, he said,
they become radio waves and by
induction jump the break to the
other end of the wire. The waves
will jump, he added. up to about 200
feet.
Describes Mechanics.
Mr.. Wightman described the
mechanics of the system as follows:
Operating power is brought into
the transmitter from an electric light
SOcket ana tne operator carries out
his normal function of speaking into
the microphone. There is no true
antenna, but in it's place the an
tenna wires are plugged into a Sec
ond light socket and the set is
operated exactly as though mes
sages were being sent through the
air. Both sending and receiving
sets have coils which permit them
to operate on the same frequency.
With normal house current, he
pointed out, the network may be
operated over an area of approx
mately 100 square miles. Both send
ing and receiving sets are made from
scrap materials not needed in the
war effort.
At a recent demonstration of the
network Washington OCD officials
expressed interest in the develop
ment and said the system eventually
might be used for intercity COM
munications over high-tension wires
In the event of a breakdown of tele-
phone and other facilities.

Robot Bombing Plane
Of Radio lobbyist
Shows Promise
War Department EmpIoye
Works Now on PIan to
Bring Craft Back Home

A 56-year- War Department
employe believes he has the answer
to a new method of dropping. bombs
that has bafled Army engineers OF
the world for years. 1t calls for
use of robot plane to carry the
high explosives into enemy terri
tory, thus eliminating loss of llte
and major part of the expense in
volved in present bombing expedi-
tions.
In the past progress in this direc-
ton has been stymied by certain
radio technicalities. These Louis
NJ Church Of 6711 Georgia avenue
NV. by hobby a radio engineer and
model airplane builder, believes he
has licked.
His optimism in the matter is
hinged on a model plane he says
apparently is what is needed. Manu-
factured on large 4 nscale, 1t
specifically would do this:
l. Garry bombs over enemy ter
ritory, drop them and return to
the starting point.
2. Garry supplies, arms and am
munition to marooned troops.
3. Scatter literature over enemy
territory.
4. Drop flares on enemy territory
as an aid in obtaining military OBJ
jectives.
Given TryOuts.
1t was only three months ago
that Mr.. Church. aided by his son,
Melville S.. 30, who on October 20
will go into the Army, started on
the model. Since then it has had
several successful tryouts.
The model, made of balsa wood
and covered with silk, has a 7-foot
wing spread, is powered with a quar-
ter horsepower Heirkmire motor
and is equipped with bomb COM
partment beneath the fuselage. Fly
ing at height of 400 feet, it already
has been developed to the stage at
which it can drop its explosive load
on as small a target as an auto
mobile.
The bomb release phase of the
experiment., an automatic control
set by computing the distance to an
object and the speed at which the
plane travels, now is pretty we'll
worked out. but Mr.. Church still is
not satisfied with the control of the
plane itself. He wants it developed
so that it will 60 to it's destination,
drop its load and return.
Landing Proves Problem.
Using the free control method
starting the plane off and allowing
it to function on it's own-he already
is able to make it do everything
except land at fixed point on its
return. To accomplish this, it may
be necessary for him to aid an
automatically controlled parachute
which will lower the plane to the
ground when it has returned to its
starting point.
But Mr.. Church is not spending
too much time on free control. What
he wants now is radio control. So
far by this method he has managed
to send his model to a destination
and to make it drop its load, but
has been unable to bring it back
safely. He is confident, however,
that his ultimate goal will be
reached.

Showdown Due
In House Today
On Poll Tax
Delegates From States
Collecting Levies
To Fight to End
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
With two strikes admittedly
against them, Southern Representa-
tives lined up for what may be the
final swing today in their fight to
block legislation that would outlaw
the collection of poll taxes in Fed
eral elections.
Privately conceding in advance
that their chances were slim, the
Southerners prepared nevertheless
to take full advantage Of four hours
of debate ordered by the House yes
terday.
The House voted, 249 to SO, to con-
slider the bill after having previously
voted, $50 to IS, to discharge its
Rules Committee from further juris-
diction over the measure, which had
been pigeonholed for more than a
year and half
OF the IS dissenting votes on the
discharge motion, 81 were Demo-
Gratis, most of them from Texas,
Virginia, South Carolina, Alabama,
Mississippi, Georgia and Arkansas,
seven of the eight States that levy
poll taxes. The delegation from
Tennessee, the eighth State, split six
for the motion and three against 1t.
Representative Gavagan, Demo-
crat. Of New York. leading the pro-
ponents, argued the imposition of
poll taxes was undemocratic and
was used to keep certain classes of
people, especially Negroes, from
voting.
Disputing this contention, Repre-
sentative Cox, Democrat, of Georgia
said he personally regarded the poll
tax as an "intolerable nuisance" but
believed Congress had no constitu-
tional right to tell the States they
could not levy one
Regardless of House action, op-
ponents predicted that the bill would
never be accepted by the Senate.

German Prisoners In Canada Didn't Want To Be Placed In Shackles
But They Were ShaCkled After RiOtOus Battle
 in Ontario

Ottawa, Can, Oct. 23.-(UP)- German war prisoners in the Bow manville, Ont, camp rioted against being shackled on Oct. 10 and had to be subdued with bayonets and fire hoses, it may now be revealed
 The Germans, who were being shackled because Adolf Hitler, in violation of international law, or dered all British prisoners taken at Dieppe put into irons, barricaded themselves in their barracks, De- fense Minister J. L. Ralston said last night.
 They beat an officer of the guard "brutally." One German was hit in the leg by a ricocheting bullet when four warning shots were fired Two prisoners received light bayonet wounds. A hole was chopped through a roof, and fire hose uset to quel the uproar.
 Some Germans went on two-da, hungre strike. But Ralston sai' the Germans at Bownfanville, ant at IA other camps in Canada wer' shackled as ordered, and still re mained so.
 There was minor trouble at an other camp.
 Ralston did not say how many were shackled, but presumably tht total shackled in Canada and the British Isles equaled the number about 1,600 - of British the Ger. mans took at Dieppe. Hitler order. ed the prisoners manacled because Germans allegedly were handcuffet in a commando raid. The Canadian and British gave him until Oct. 1( to free them.
 Ralston said, in statement:
 Refusing to obey orders, prison CTS of war barricaded themselves in their barracks. It was necessary to fire four warning shots by rifle three in the air and one towarc the ground, where it ricocheted anc wounded one of the prisoners in the leg. This took place at a time wher the prisoners seized and brutally as.

 Although there can be no doubt that Rommel is a 100 per cent Nazi, Hitler was said to be making every effort to cement the Marshal's personal loyalty to him.

here. This would fit into Hitler's reported scheme to build up the Field Marshal as the No. German military leader and make him a logical choice for any military dicta- torship.
 Germany's gradual change from offensive to defensive warfare along most of the eastern front and the virtual stalemate on other theaterS has strengthened belief in Berlin that the military may take over and attempt to negotiate peace, the diplomat said.
 Hitler then would attempt to be represented by Rommel, but allied quarters here pointed out that such a maneuver would be futile because of the United Nations determana- ton to negotiate no peace with the Nazi regime or anv nf its leaders.
