251,424 Gl Dead In World War II

Washington (CNS)-It will be a long time before the cost of World War II is computed, but approxi- mate figures today indicate the terrible toll.
 Total combat casualties, accord ing to the most recent Army-Navy announcement, were 1,068,215, If which 251,424 are deaths. AEF casualties in the last war were O,296, of which some 50,00O were fatalities.
 Battle deaths among our allies run higher. The USSR took the worst beating, with 5,530,OOO bat tie dead. Other figures: China, l. 5O0,0O0; British Empire, 337 ,QO6; France, 33,OOO.
 Civilian casualties are harder to estimate. Fifty thousand civilians were killed by nazi bombs in Eng land, not including the victims of the V-weapons. How many women and children died in the indis criminate bombing of Rotterdam and other cities, how many lives were wiped out in the Nazi advan- ces and later in their retreats in Poland and Russia, how many per ished in concentration camps and crematories, may never be known.
 The monetary cost to the U. s of this war is set at $300,000,0 0,000,- 900, 10 times that of the last con- fict. This figure made it possible for the government to spend money where it would save a life. Secre- tary Morgenthau, in his final re- port, said: "The U. s. has never spared an opportunity to reduce the human cost of war at the ex- pense of increasing it's money l cost"

SWAN SONGS are being sung hence it's hail and farewell to this department with the hope that you have enjoyed these brief bits of this and that through the big hearted cooperation of our military who are responsible for the sue cess of the BEAM. Our thanks to them.
 Two organizations that have played an active part in the light er-side of our sojourn at Bradley have been dissolved this week. The Civilian Employees Association was terminated at Board of Di- rectors meeting and the balance of funds will be turned over to the Station Hospital, together with the funds turned over from the Civilian Administrators Luncheon Club by the Board of Governors. Two grand organizations responsible for many good party and worthwhile pro gram.
 We are apt to run into old friends and familiar faces almost anywhere before long. Eight of our girls are leaving shortly for Wash ington, some to the Navy Dept. in Hartford, many to private indus try, then to the far corners of the country, just "going home"
 Alphid Anderson, Chief Clerk of Acft. Maint., transferred to the Navy Dept. in Hartford, and we bid farewell to Walter Brakey, Training Administrator of Civilian Personnel, who is transferring to that same title at Mitchell Field.
 You who are members of either the Massachusetts or Connecticut Blue Cross Hospital Insurance Plan will receive printed information concerning your policy transfers, or inquire at Employee Relations, Bldg. T-234.

 As a navigation aid, it CD draws a map of territory over which a plane is flying, even though the ground can't be seen; (2) spots landmarks, icebergs, mountains, and other obstacles; it could have prevented the crash of that B-25 into the Empire State Building; (3) gives exact altitude above land masses, instead of above sea level, as do ordinary altimeters; (4) makes possible blind landings.

CIVILIANS VOnA TOUT

Deep in the hearts of all of us Hidden so no one can see, Is a somber, meditative musing Over things which used to be. Once the gates for us turned inward We entered with keen elation, To participate in detailed plan For hastening the wars cessation. Twas melting pot of brawn and
 brain
 Irrespective of class or creed, Each filling the place designed for
 him Each laboring where there was
 need, An esprit de corps for accomplish
 ment A welded united whole, With days that were good or not
 so good .... And tried the very soul. A straining of muscle, sound of
 machines
 Whir of the rivetting gun, Concerted efforts, midst the engines With smattering of pathos and
 fun. . :.
 
 And now the gates swing outward We've finished the job as planned, The machines are standing silently Because they have been unnamed. What shall we say in parting? Words are a symbol of thought, We know in our hearts whether or no
 It's good deeds which we have wrought. But what has it done for us? It has left an indelible touch, We can never ignore those mem-
 ories ...-: .: Bradley Field has endowed us with much.

Radar Looks Like a Bedsprins
 And It's Even More Useful
By Camp Newspaper Service

Whats behind those bedspring like arrangements you've seen on land and sea in your CT travels has finally been revealed by the U. s. and British governments. It's radar, characterized by the Brit ish just before the debut of the atomic bomb as "the greatest sec ret weapon of all time" == i ::
 Capable of seeing in day or night, through rain or fog, it won many critical battles for the AL lies, both on the offensive and de- fensive.
 According to the U. s. report. it "has more than any single de- velopment since the airplane, changed the face of warfare; for one of the greatest weapons in any war is surprise, and surprise is usually achieved by concealment in the last minutes or hours before an attack. The concealment form erly afforded by darkness or fog or cloud or artificial smoke or the glare of the sun simply does not exist in the world of radar."
 How It Works
 Here's how it works: Radar shoots out a burst of high frequen- cy (ultra shorty radio waves, which can be directed like a search light beam, and catches them as they bounce back from an object they strike. Timing their trip out and back gives the distance of the object and noting their progress gives their direction and speed. Depicting of signals, called "pips," on a cathode ray tube, called a "scope," gives the oprator movie map of what he is observing, as television does.
 Thus, radar, defensively, CD spots approaching planes before they can be seen, even on a clear day; CD identifies them as friend or foe; (3) directs fighters and anti-aircraft against enemy craft; (4) moves searchlights into posi- tion to spot bombers at night; (5) spots and directs fire against V weapons and plots their course, which may be traced back to their launching sites; (6) enables con voy commodore to check on strag- glers and to spot enemy surface, :sub-surface, and aerial raiders.
 Offensively, it CD drops bombs

battleships South Dakota and Washington when they sunk three cruisers and one or two battleships off Santa Cruz isle, and enabled the cruiser Boise to fire a thou sand rounds in 27 minutes, at un- seen targets, sinking 3 cruisers and 3 destroyers,
 " Of 1O6 V-bombs which crossed the channel one day in August, 1914, only three reached London, thanks to radar-controlled tck-ack. Radar bombing knocked out in- dividually the big German coastal guns before the Normandy inva- sion.
 It made possible innumerable bombing missions over Germany and Japan which would have been cancelled or hit-or-miss because of poor weather.
 It enabled the RAF to repulse the blitz when Britain stood alone and virtually defenseless after Dunkirk.

 bid adieu to many a good fellow and gal. Of course there have been those trying times when we felt like giving up the ship but cer- | tain stubborn streak made us con tinue and that weatherbeaten look about us really shows up in high color. The Medics of this Base can relate of many time that they took it or the chin and came back punching.
 Never let it be said that we pass 7. ed up the opportunity of the usual dirt so here she comes letting the chips fall where they may. Did you notice the writeup in the gos- sip column about that nice boy we have here? How can you disagree boys!. It's so long to Able Katz who is Brooklyn bound and with him goes our best of luck and double to Robert Jr...It was sad parting with an old time buddy, Joe Feraco, and it's our best until we meet again. The Wac cooks up and left leaving Gabby Gabe ! high and dry and you have our sympathy son. Joe K. went thru , that reveille demonstration the other morn like true veteran and we suggest he join the regulars. Louis B. can be found sparkling at any corner and usually about any hour. What a Man!. An unex- pected visitor came to dinner at reveille the other morning and the boys have not forgotten the skunk as yet. Slim will miss those hall details so we suggest mop as a parting gift for the boy. A bou- quet of orchids to our good civvie personnel who have done a grand job up here.
 The "Red River Valley" is our favorite recording even though we haven't got the record-the mem ory will serve We want to say it's been fun knowing so many fel- lows-their experiences have been our xperiences-we've done Africa with Malloy, and laughed over the best of the repeatables from Italy, thru France, England and Ger many with Rossi, Boucher, Sigrist, Barrell, Ellison, and enjoyed the Gals and Heat of the good ol' Pa cific with Condon, Gang, Randall, and added to that the continental intrigue of Hausers, Washington castings; and Maxie, with the Army of eligibles, Smitty, Sullivan, Rak, Friedman, O'Keefe pulling Coxies Army on T-501. to be awakened in the still, still night by Booths conversations with the unknown, and hear Lu Klein puff and snort as though it were long hill to climbs, while Max Jones keeps a guy on the wide awake side with his hog calling. these are the things we'll tell the kids about when we get back to that wonder full status of civilian We've all got date, Kula, Kornacki, Jack son, Ferrante, Gordon, Startling and Carlo on the first pay day at the nearest common meeting place, such as the 'New Yorker" and the lucky man will pay the hotel bill and Vertucci will bring along some of that favorite 'aide he has from home. that's what we say now, anyway, but as luck will have it we'll probably never get such chance again. We can think of a
 bunch of things to say about Stortz and Perron. of the days of Theu- rich and Lauracella, and how Lew
 Milesky and Sampson and Reichert went fishing one night at Conga- mond. Barney Friedman left be- fore we expected and Coppy got I into plane after all even Veno
 lasted longer as soldiers go...
 Whats to be said, and what could
 be said would give us more of a

trained, must be provided. Many
clubs in the Federation are help
ing to pay the salary of teacher
of Bible. There has been steady
and almost phenomenal growth in
the movement. Starting with 816
students in six communities in 1887
today the Bible is being taught %
more than $4,000 students with 100
full or part time teachers en-
