stantlal local groups. But no
other, deserved or not, has
aroused the bitter enmities which
center around the personable,
idealistic Governor Tugwell, the
Presidents friend and once the
Number Two brain truSter.
Leading men in the business
and social communities here claim
that Governor Tugwell consistent
ly refuses to see them about mat
tiers of public interest; that when
they do get together he is over
bearing and arrogant, that when
they leave conferences with one un-
Outstanding of its conclusions, the
governor deliberately or carelessly
distorts the terms of the agreement
by word or action.
To each of these Tugwell's
friends offer rebuttal. But true
or not, the charges rankle in the
breasts Of the most important,
most vocal Puerto Ricans, and ex-
plain one reason why they con-
tend that they can work with
him less than with any OF his
predecessors.
DON'T QUOTE TUGWELL
Tugwell Is described by critics
as supercilious, snohbish, arbitrary,
uncooperative, class conscious and
intolerant.
I spent some time with him dis
cussing Puerto Rico and its prob
lens, In the huge second-floor Of
flee in lovely old La Fortaleza. I
did not find any of the adjectives
above to be applicable to his re-
action to our conversation. That
does not prove them erroneous,
but 1t does lend support to this
statement of his friends that he is
essentially shy, temperamentally
schoolmasterish, but by prefer
ence friendly and frank. A prin-
ciple trouble in presenting Gov.
ernor Tugwells side adequately Is
the binding agreement, required
by John Lear, co-ordinator Of in
formation, repeatedly at the gov
ernor's order, that such inter-
views shall not result either in
quotations from the governor or
in attributions to him.
Governor Tugwell gave me ex-
plantations of some charges against
his personality and temperament,
but I am forbidden to report them.
I can only give here the conclusions
to which I came after Weighing In
formation from many sources, in
GLIDING the governor. about some Of
the charges against him.

In fact, most Of the Little New
Deal Is not a "Tugwell program"
Parts Of It date from the conserva-
tive Mckinley administration in
Washington, which sponsored the
Organic Act that is this islands
constitution. Other parts stem
from conservative Republican So
cialist regimes here. The Republic
Socialist coalition now Is Gov
ernor Tugwell's bitterest opposition.

Newer elements in the program
supplement, expand and correlate
the earlier measures. They are
largely the handiwork Of the Popu-

Governor Tugwell and Senator

however, Of which he Is skeptical,
and one or two which he opposes.
The most objective observers here
insist that Mr.. Tugwell has been

Is the victim Of. vituperative cam

habilitation-which often are in d.

the rounded hills, their angles dull,
the tops Of trees all drifted full,
and every bush Hninaret,
recalling that 1t was Gods choice
TO let bush once hold His voice.
When we are gone, all these are there
and lovely, placid, unaware.
Meanwhile the train viii hurtle all

German Experimental
With Magnetic Waves

Indeed the first experiments
with electromagnetic waves, by
Heinrich Hertz in Karlsruhe. Ger
many. were with ultra high fire.
quenCies. and were as significant
to radar as they were to radio.
Hertz produced radio waves that
shot at light-speed through space
and generated a clear signal at a
distance. More than that, he was
first TO focus these waves in a
directional beam. For ordinary
radio waves go bounding around
the globe. bouncing back and forth
between the earth and a mysteri-
Gus ionized ceiling, 60 miles above
terra firma.
Sound waves. which travel at
the slow rate of about 2 miles per
s econd, can be reflected from
Opaque bodies and thus give us
back echoes when we shout into a
valley - hello -. helloooo!"
From the deliberateness of these
echoes one gathers a fair notion
of the leisurely speed with which
sound travels and demonstrates
why the sound detectors of World
War l, with their huge listening
horns. have been outmoded by the
Radar UHF beam which bounces
back and forth $4,000 times faster.

Planes Fly Half
AS Fast as Sound

Indeed. the fighter planes Of to-
day, with speeds up to $50 MPH,
fly half as fast as sound itself. so
by the time an audio detector had
caught its noise and a gun crew
had adjusted its firing range -
zippo, the plane had come and
gone.
The radio waves that throb and
beat so swiftly that they become
ultra high frequencieS, will not
penetrate solid objects but bounce,
or echo back TO the source from
whence they were propagated.
And these are used in the "ra-
dio-locator' The speed of their
bounce-back determines how far
away the target lies. The direc-
ton from whence they came shows
the exact elevation. azmuth or
traverse. Radar says in effect,
there it is

Thus. when war rocketed across

British Call 1t
Radio-L Locator

The Americans call it radar,
an abbreWation of radio detect
ing and ranging The British
call it a radio-locator. But one
and all IT SINNERS down to the
principle of ultra high frequency
waves, a development in the
electromagnetic field with which
physicists have been tinkering
since 1870.
Radar is projection OF atomic
waves called "electronS," the
smallest components of electric
energy which are whizzed into
space by clustered billions at
speeds approaching the $4,000
miles-per-second flight of light.
Radar saved England from
invasion after Dunkirk. 1t helped
to sweep the LuftWaffe from the
skies over London and Tunisia.
More than any other single
agency, it probably will settle this
global war.

Approach of Planes

Thus. by h appe n G, he
caught the unmistakable approach
of a large flight of unidentified
planes slightly east and north OF
Oahu He reported 10 an officer
who shrugged it off as the haffu-
cination of a novice and let the
matter drop.
Less than an hour later Pearl
Harbor was a smoking shambleS
from which the last of our Sunken
battleshipS, the Oklahoma. has
only now been floated. The core

arily knocked out.
Radar had performed its job.
Human nature had erred.
Why. logic demands, have the
Allies suddenly lifted the lid on
radar? The answer is painfully
simple, Because they now know
that the Axis uses a version of
radar too. Axis technicians de-
veloped their own system of radio
