low friendship to interfere with
duty. I know. I petted a beauty
named Lorrie one day as Pvt. Ra-
cine transferred her from one guard
post to another. Next day went
back alone to pet Lorrie again, but
as the dog saw me coming, she came
up snarling, lunged, broke her chain
and charged toward me. I was pet
rified, unable to move, and I learned
later that probably saved me from
injury.
Second 1t. Ernest H. Moor, Lake
wood, N. j., supervisor of the dogs,
heard Lorrie snarling and growing
deeply as she stalked around and
around me. He yelled the signal for
cease attack, and Lorrie, looking
very pleased with herself. trotted
over to him.
1t. Moor told me that had I moved
Lorrie would have grabbed me, and
warned that you shouldn't have
tried to pet her. If you leave her
alone, she'll leave you alone"
Special training is given the dogs,
he said, to insure their resentment
toward occasional visitors. The dogs
naturally love the marines who care
for them, so periodically a stranger
appears to assault a keeper in their
presence. That makes the dogs
wary Of every stranger unless the
keeper is present and directs the dog
to submit to petting.

Admiral Bowen performed an
other important function, too. He
interested industrialists in the man

Proved Most Effective.
Skepticism as to their value van
ished rapidly as they went on ship
after ship and proved themselves
by amazing performance. Thus Of
ficers and men were ready to use
them to the fullest when war came,
and in battle they proved them
selves all over again, enabling our
warriors Of the sea to pull of feats
they had not dreamed possible in
pre-Radar years.
Late on the evening of November
IA, 1912, among the Solomon Is
lands in the South Pacific, one of
our warships was out looking for
Japanese warships.
The sea battle for Guadalcanal
was in its final phase, the issue still
undecided. Aboard the American
vessel, a Radar, like an invisible
searchlight, probed the enshrouding
darkness with its magical waves.
Suddenly the indicator on which
Radar registers its discoveries dis
closed the presence of an enemy
vessel more than 8 miles away.
The big ship lifted its gun muz-
zles toward the stars. They flashed
and thundered by salvoes.
The second salvo, despite the
darkness and 16,0O0-yard range,
landed squarely on the target.
The American ships went on not
only to win but to turn the battle
for Guadalcanal into one of the most
costly routs in Japanese history.
The British version of Radar,
known as radio-locator. matched in
military results the heroic sacri-
fees Of the handful of fighter pilots
who saved England during the Nazi
aerial blitz of late 1910. Land-based
Radar ringed England's coast and
rode in its night fighter planes. Ra-
dar's unerring fingers picked up the
range, direction and speed on Hit
ler's bombers far out over the water
sometimes even over Europe itself
Assured of adequate forewarning
of each attack, the handful of RAF
heroes who saved the British Isles
from destruction by air found it un-
necessary to maintain incessant
fighter patrols which would quickly
have exhausted men and planes.
They rested until the foe ap-
preached and went into action at the
last minute. 1t was this conserva-
ton Of energy. machines and fuel
which enabled England to fight back
until the blitZ cOllapSed.

tronics. Today Radar is a multi
million dollar industry for war: to-
morrow it will become a billion
dollar industry for peace. Radar
will guide tomorrow's sea and air
liners through stormy nights to
safety, just as it is guiding today's
warcraft through the smoke of
battle to victory.
On April Is the Army and Navy
put out joint and unspectacular
release admitting the existence of
radio detecting and ranging de-
vice and naming it. Radar is a
Navy code word meaning, logically
enough, radio ecting-and-rang-
ing" Possibly never has sach a
remarkable instrument been cam
ouf1aged under more wooden title.
The British previously had broken
down their equally barbed restric-
tions to some extent and this un-
doubtedly influenced the American
decision in favor of disclosure.
But there we're other reasons,
too. Many skilled workers in Radar
construction were being caught in
the draft or were under other COM
pulsion to get into uniform. Neither
their draft boards nor. their sweet
hearts had been told the vitally i'm
portant nature of their work. From
that point of view, publicity about
Radar was urgent. Moreover,
thousands of recruits were needed
for Radar operation and these had
to be raised by recruiting. which
means publicity. So the barriers
came down.
That makes it possible to report
now the proper relationship be-
tween British and American Radar
development and to disclose that,
while official myopia might have
stalled American progress except
for the bit-in-teeth courage of the
scientists, it was a series of re-
searches and discoveries in this
country which led to the creation
of Radar not only among the Allies
but apparently among the Axis ma
tionS as well.

The dog was found gazing in

indicate that it was fortunate for
Radar and therefore for the coun-
try that Admiral Bowen got in

about 13 years ago and began to
promote it.
For Admiral Bowen became the
needed link between the scientists
on one hand and the Navy and Con-
gress on the other The admiral's s
great enthusiasm always has been
to get hold of and promote sound
but revolutionary ideas; the depths
of his belligerent soul are stirred
most violently against conservative
preference for keeping things the
way they are.
A vigorous and confident mis-
sionary of progress, Admiral Bowen
was one of handful of farsighted
men who campaigned for years to
sell Radar to the fighting Navy and
to Congress. which held the money
bags. He cut red tape and regula-
tions to deal frankly on Radar with
members of the House and Senate
Appropriations Committee. They
came through in the grand manner

can't buy inventions. you know All
we needed then was a little money
for salaries to increase the staff a
bit"
About 1910, when the crash of
falling France was heard across
the Atlantic. the appropriations
grew in keeping with the increas-
ing importance of the labora tory's S
preparations for war. The institu-
ton that had started out as single
gray concrete building rising alone
out Of the Potomac River mud fats
below Washington blossomed, after
18 lean years, into a thriving center
Evening star., 1943-06-21

The central figure in that early
work and the man who literally
begged, borrowed and stole when
necessary to transform his ideas on
radio into reality, is a slight, baldish,
onetime physics professor whose
professional career began in 1908 at
Wisconsin University. Albert Hoyt
Taylor now is chief Navy physicist
and superintendent of the radio divi-
sion Of the Naval Research Labora-
tory here.
Praises His Helpers.
1t is characteristic of him that
when he is questioned about his part
in the creation of Radar, he speaks
first about the work of the men
who helped him. Their story is an
integral part of his own.
Mr.. Taylor's direct contributions
to radio detection dealt mostly with
the fundamental discoveries of how
radio waves behave and with some
of the first crude instruments and
experiments. AS the Naval Research
Laboratory expanded and Mr.. Tay-
lor's duties became more complex, 1t
fell to the lot of younger genius to
develop the first modern Radar
equipment and perfect many of the
improvements which have made it a
battle instrument of uncanny pre-
cision.
Robert M. Page, sensitive, soft
voiced chief of a research section
of the laboratory's radio division, is
credited by his colleagues with doing
more for Radar's technical progress
than any other man on the staff.
The Naval Research Laboratory, at
which these men and their COL
leagues still work on the advance
ment of Radar. is, of course. a reg
ular naval station and thus is under
command of an officer. The present
chief Is Admiral A. H. Van Keuren,
veteran of many years service
both at sea and ashore. Previously
he had served as chief Of the Bureau
of Construction and Repair and
Bureau of Ships.
Admiral Van Keuren succeeded
