Army 10 Abandon
Horse Breeding Depot
AT Front Royal, Va.

The Army Remount Depot at
Front Royal, Va, famous horse
breeding station and now q train
ing center for dogs in the K-9
Corps, has been declared surplus"
Iby the Army Service Forces and
will be abandoned before December
!, except for skeleton organization,
Army officials said yesterday.
The 5,000-acre tract, over which
cavalrymen of the Civil War once
raced, became the scene after the
World War of an intensified effort
by the Army to supply sound and
well conditioned horses for the serv-
ice. When the call went out for
horses as we entered the World
War, an inferior collection was re-
ceived, and after the war, the Army
determined 1t was going to build up
the American bloodline.
Since then the depot has become
known as a center for fine animals,
and hundreds Of good stations have
been placed on breeding farms SO
that private breeders might improve
their stock.
The functions of the station, in
cluding the training of dogs, will
be transferred to an assumed by
other installations" Army officials
said.
A small staff and a few facilities
will be maintained by the Quarter
master Corps to care for several
horses which served in the World
War and other famous mounts, in

The other horses, grounds and in
stallations will be disposed of in
sales from time to time, Army off,
cials said. An auction was held
October 2, when more than 200
horses and 80 mules were sold.
Located about 70 miles from here,

Technique by Eliminating

Using a Movie.Like Screen
Instead Of Mirrors
BY ROBERT ID. POTTER
Science Editor

n S the colossus of all telescopes, the
20Oinch glass giant, now nearing
y completion at Mount Palomar in
California, to be outmoded before it
even has a chance to focus the stellar
secrets of space TO the anxious eyes
of the patient astronomers?
In the race of wartime radio and
electronic developments-99 per cent
of them still military secretS-there
is good chance that the young sci
ence of Harvesting electrons will out
strip the time-tried, slow-moving sci
ence of astronomy. 1t could happen.
And If it does, then huge optical
eyes" like the Mount Palomar tele-
scope will soon become obsolete.
For more than 300 years, since Cali
leo made his first telescope out of
small magnifying glasses and OBJ
served the moons of Jupiter, scien-
lists have been making larger and
larger telescopes.
Yet all of these instruments, includ-
ing the mammoth reflector at Palo-
mar, are based on one essential scien-
tific principle. They act as optical
tunnels using either large lenses or
mirrors to gather the feeble rays of
light from the distant stars. The con-
centrated light is then focused by
smaller lenses and mirrors 10 the
eyes of the astronomer, or TO his re-
cording instruments-the photograph
ic plate or the spectroscope.
However, the amazing developments
of the last few years in scientific lab
oratories are pointing toward a new
way of star-gaZing; a marriage of
radio and astronomy into an electron-
ic telescope that, when perfected. may
relegate all present-day telescopes TO
the fate of the horse car.

This picture is in part justified, be
cause observatories are never heated.
Rising hot air currents make the stars
appear TO be dancing all over the
sky. You often see a similar CULVER
ing when you observe objects through
the rising air over heated radiator.
With the electronic telescope, how
ever, the astronomer of the future
could sit in the comfort of a heated
room, adjust the focusing by remote
control, and view the heavenly pag-
cant of stars and moons on a large
television receiving tube.
Present-day telescopes may be used
by only one observer at a time. OBJ
serving time at any observatory is
jealousy guarded and carefully doled
out so that the telescope may be in
constant use.
BY using the electronic telescope
and televising the observation through
radio waves, thousands of astrono-
merS might work at the same time,
each one in the privacy of his own
laboratory within the radius Of the
transmitter.
1t Is even possible that thousands
OF amateur astronomers who TODAY
can afford only inadequate telescopes
will be able TO share this innovation
with the greatest scientists.
The 200inch reflector at Palomar
already has cost more than $1,000 600.

Then, just as the tiny electrical
currents set up in home radio sets
by the distant broadcast stations are
amplified and converted TO sound,
these feeble electrical impulses are
amplified billions of times by radio
tubes and converted again into light.
The amplified electrical impulses of
starlight guide a stream of electrons
from an electron gun against a pho
tographic plate, or a screen, in a tele-
vision receiving tube. This creates
brighter and enlarged picture of
the original starlight. The miracle
Of radio amplification results in mag
MITIGATION of the stellar image.
Here then is one possible answer
to the astronomers quest for more
light. Rather than depend upon the
size of the telescope for magnifica-
ton, he uses more and more radio
tubes to increase the brightness of
the image.
Besides all this the new electronic
telescope would probably revolution
ize the classical and time-worn
methods of star.gaZing.

Photographic plate, unlike the hui

But much better would be some
instrument that could take the

them into instantaneous bright

The faint rays are focused on

called an iconoscope, already be-
