today said that it is his opinion
that many people in the United

many American boys will be killed
before the war is won.
Freshly returned from the North
African front, Gen. Oliver said he
had been struck with the lack of
realization of the seriousness of the
war by the people in this country.
Gen. Oliver, Maj Gen. Robert C..

high ranking officers spoke to I'd

at conclusion of pre-maneuver

Army Navy Reveal Some Details
OF Secret Radio Plane Locator
Device That Saved Britain From Aerial BIitz
Is Reported Discovered First in u S. in 1922

the speed of light, can be focused,
scan the air and sea. When they
strike an enemy ship or airplane,
they bounce back. Radio waves
travel at constant speed of 10000
miles per second. Thus a small
space of time is required for such
signals to travel to a rejecting sur
face and return to a receiver, so
that, with means provided for meas
uring this time interval, it is pos
sible to determine the distance to a
given target. Radars operate through
fog, storms and darkness, as we'll
as through cloudless skies. They
are, therefore, superior to both tele-
scope and acoustic listening devices.
Device Saved Britain.
"Radar is used for both defense
and offense. In fact, the British,
who call their similar apparatus the
radio locator, say it was instrumental
in saving England during the aerial
blitz of 1910 and 1941. At that time
the locators spotted German raiders
long before they reached target
area, and thus gave the Raj and
ground defenses time for prepara-
ton. Since then radar has stood
guard at many danger points along
United Nations frontiers and at sea,
warning of the coming of aerial and
sea-borne enemy forces and con-
tributing towards victory in combat.
The new science has played vital
part in helping first to stem and
then to turn the tide of Axis con-
quest.
1T was first discovered in the
United States in 1922 when scien-
lists observed that reception from
a radio station was interfered with
by an object moving in the path of
the signals. Accordingly, a radio
receiver was set up on the banks of
a river and the effects of signal
reception caused by boats passing
up and down the river were stu
died. The experiment of installing
the receiver in truck was also tried,
and 1t was observed that similar dis
turbances were produced in the re-
ceiver when the truck moved past
large buildings. Development work
was Immediately undertaken so
that the new discovery might be
used for detecting vessels passing
between harbor entrances or be-
tween ships at sea.
so far, it had been necessary to
have the moving object pass be-
tween the radio transmitter and
the receiver. This obviously limit
ed the possible fields of applica-
ton. In 1925, it was found that
the surface of an object, or target,
would act as reflector of high fire.
quency radio waves. In other words,
the radio signals sent out by a
transmitter could be made to strike
target, and then bounce" back
to receiver. This made it pos
sible to have both the transmitter
and the receiver at the same loca-
ton.
In 1890, research engineers we're
able to pick up reflected signals
from planes passing overhead. BY
1884, they had developed a satisfac-
tory means of measuring the dis
tance between the radar transmit
ter and the target. Since then
other advances in the field have
been made, some of which, after the
war is over, will undoubtedly con-
tribute to the security and comfort
of world at peace"

Flying Ace Is Awarded
Navy Cross for Heroism
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla, April a.
A naval aviator who nonchalantly
nibbled sandwiches in periods of
lulls while leading an air operation
over North Africa received the Navy
Cross here today.
The flyer, 1t. Ralph A. Embree of
Kemmerer, Wyo., led his squadron
in five dive bombing flights within
a few hours against enemy ships
and shore batteries. The personnel
was too busy to stop and eat on
that particular day, Navy officers
said, so pilots and crewmen took
sandwiches aloft for snacks during
the less active minutes Of the opera
ton.
Comdr. H. D. Felt, commanding
officer of the Daytona Beach Naval
Air Station, presented the award
to 1t. Embree.
