The Defense Communications Board. by it's General Order No. 4. has determined that the national security and defense and the success ful conduct of the war demand that the Government have knowledge of all persons who possess apparatus equipped for the transmission of radio frequency energy.

 The term radio frequency ener- gy' means electromagnetic energy at any frequency between the limits 10 kilocycles and 10, 0,000megacycles
 Such apparatus includes any equipment which utilizes a radio frequency oscillator, or any other type of radiofrequeney generator to transmit, or which transmits, in advertently or otherwise, radiofre- quency energy--whether through space. or guided by wire lines--for purposes of communication or con- trol for therapeutic treatments, in dustrial operations, or any other purpose whatsoever.

Chemistry Nay PrOUe
Key to Large Stores
OF Manganese in II. s.

A chemical key through which great
stores Of manganese might be unlocked
for use in production Of steel supplies
has been described by engineers de-
veloping western ores.
Mack G. Lake Of San Francisco. vice
president of Manganese Ore Co. sub
sidiaTy Of M. A. Ham Co. of Cleveland,
said that by use of the chemical proc
ess the company would be able to pro
duce about 100000 tons a year of
high-grade manganese ore from de-
posits that once were considered al
most useless.
The first deposit to be tapped Is
southeast Of Las Vegas, New. Lake said
negotiations were completed with the
government for construction there Of
a $4,5O0OO0 mill to be In operation
this year.
In addition, a second huge deposit
has been found in the Artillery peak
area in Arizona.
A chemical reaction which concen-
trates loW-grade ores is the secret Of
the new process. First the ore is
crushed, then leeched with water and
sulphur dioxide fumes. This turns the
manganese into manganese sulphate,
which disSolves in water. The solution
is removed from the sludge and evap-
GRATED into dry white crystals of man
ganese Sulphate which roasting turns
into manganese oxide, go to IS percent
