developes that some generals also have a yen for putting their rela- tives in cushy jobs on the public payroll. One of these is Maj Gen. William Key, head of the U. s. Military Mission in Budapest.
 Gen. Key has given his son a spot promotion as commissioned officer (without precedent except in combat and put him in the comfortable post of Aide to the Commanding General" Formerly It. Key was an enlisted man serv- ing in Italy. Other enlisted men, with no fathers serving as major generals, are burnt up.
 Back in Oklahoma, where Gen. Key lives and once served as WPA Administrator, the general achieved a unique record He built more WPA armories throughout Okla homa than were built in any other state-a total of 56. Apparently Key leaned toward favoritism early, for in Oklahoma City he erected, with WPA funds, a club for Ma tional Guard officers featuring a large ballroom, ladies lounge, sev- eral private dining rooms, dinettes, and pine -paneled smoking rooms but not open to enlisted men.

Vest Pocket Radio Set
Soon to Be Manufactured

What is described by its creator,
an Evanston, ILL.,, radio manufac-
turing concern, as an innovation in
radio set convenience and utility, is
the new vest pocket radio planned
for early production.
To be inconspicuously carried in
vest pocket, shirt pocket, handbag,
or concealed about the person, the
new vest pocket radio will be sew
eral times smaller than the smallest
camera or personal type radio
sets manufactured prior to the war.
1t will provide good radio reception
at all times. Its batteries are self
contained, and its aerial is contained
in the wire leading to the ear
piece.
Here will be a radio set of OBJ
vious appeal. 1t can easily be car
ried to ball games, on the golf
course, on shopping tours - any,
where and everywhere. 1t can be
operated anywhere without dis
turbance to anyone - on the street,
on trains and planes, even in the
quiet of a club or library reading
room.
The speaker" or ear-piece will be
entirely inconspicuous - of the ap-
proved hearing-aid type. The COM
plete unit includes radio, batteries,
and tubes in the small, marvelously
compact case - not much larger
than cigarette case.
Still engaged entirely in war pro-
duction, the manufacturers would
not state specifically when the new
radio would be placed on the mar
ket. That it has passed prelimi-
nary tests with flying colors would
seem to indicate an immediate pro-
duction schedule as soon as existing
government production restrictions
affecting the entire radio industry
are removed.

of progress on the new gun had been
made. But the real test would come
in the "innards" where more than
200 parts would have to take, and
stand up under, 20 explosions per
second.
In August of 1914, just IS months
later, two ultra-speed so caliber ma
chine guns were ready for testing.
They worked. Immediately more
guns were made. They too worked.
The army was elated, for this new
gun provided an increase in fire-pow-
er equivalent to adding half again
as many fighter planes.

New Machine
Duncan Shoot
1000 a Minute
Improved Back Plate, New
Type of Recol Mechanism,
Solve Knotty Problems

A new, ultra-Speed so caiber ma
chine gun has been perfected by the
engineering department Of Frigi-
daire division of General Motors cor
poration, in collaboration with the
office of the chief of ordnance, U. S.
army.
The new gun, already tested in
combat, spews out so caliber slugs
at the exceptionally high rate Of
1900 a minute, 20 shots a second.
This is so per cent faster than the
so caliber guns now in use. This
ultra-rapid fire literally SPRAYS"
bullets from single gun. But there
Is nothing "spray-like" in the way
these bullets hit. Some idea of this
can be had from the fact that, if the
IA so caliber guns on a BIS bomb
er were Of this new type, it could
shoot $50 of them in a short burst
Of one second.
The present so caliber gun, now
In use all over the world, is the
basic weapon of the air corps. Gen.
Il. H. Arnold has said, 1.-THE very
low mortality rate among our bomb
ers can be largely credited to this
gun" Maj. Gen. L. H. Campbell Jr.,
Of army ordnance, has stated that
$50 caliber machine guns account
for over 80 per cent of all aircraft
fre-power." From this it is quickly
understandable what this increased
firing rate will mean in annihilating
Japs; destroying their aircraft and
damaging railyards, supply dumps,
factories of all kinds, and oil and
gasoline storage depots.
| Development Began in 1918.
As the First World war neared its
close, the need became apparent for
a machine gun having more strik-
ing power than the 80 caliber guns
then in general use. At that time,
the development of so caiber ma
chine gun was started. In August,
1918, the first so caliber machine
gun was completed. This gun fired
at the then considered fast rate of
500 rounds per minute. BY June, 1923,
. so caliber machine gun accept
able to the army was finally pro-
duced and standardized. These guns
were used by the army on tanks,
armored cars and other heavy, mo-
bile field equipment. They were also
used as anti-aircraft weapons. And
Browning chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1941-1953, 1945-09-07

to some extent they were used as
armament on airplanes. Later i'm
provements in this gun raised the
firing rate to 800 rounds per min
ute.
Then came the present war and
the use of the so caliber gun on
combat airplanes in ever-increasmg
numbers. And, just as we thought
we had the answer, the speed and
performance Of the aircraft started
climbing at tremendous rate, and
the 600 rounds per minute gun was
not the whole answer any more. We
needed guns to hit with more bullets
IN that split-second of time when the
gunner had the enemy in his gum
sight. Ordnance answered the need
by stepping up the so caliber ma
chine gun to more than 800 rounds
per minute. Here then, after years
Of development, was a so caliber

not. The United States army knew
that eventually the enemy would

Success At Last.
First experiments on the new prof.
ect were just like all others j..
very disheartening. The old, i'm
mutable laws of physics, force, fric-
ton, weight and thrust, laughed at
the haggard engineers. It just
couldn't be done. Nature would not
be defied. But one man, still work
ing on the improvement of the stand
ard so caliber, discovered a new
way to design and attach the back
plate. This was found to be exactly
what was needed to Withstand the
pounding of the recoil 1900 times a
minute for the new gun.
Another man, looking for better
method of cushioning the recoil, tried
Belleville spring washers and found
that they improved the shock alb
sorption so well that they, too, were
exactly what was needed for the
new gun. And they completely
eliminated the bug-a-boo of an oil
cylinder shock absorber which,
while standard, was always trouble
some. So, if nothing else happened,

Virginia Coach Murray
Defends IT, Formation

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, Dec.
8.-(P)-Frank Murray, head coach
Of Virginia's Cavaliers, disagrees
with those gridiron tutors who be-
lieve the T-formation has seen its
best years. He points to the record
of the 1915 Virginia team as he
contends that the best seasons of
the T-attack are still ahead.
During the campaign just ended
the Cavaliers used the ct" to score
266 points, which RUS them behind
Army and Alabama, but in a tie
with St. Mary's for third place in
the national scoring parade.
Virginia gained net total of 2,
914 yards from scrimmage; 1890
yards rushing and 1924 yards pass
ing. Though the Navy scuttled the
Cavalier grid squad by transfer
ring four regulars, including the CO.
captains in mid-season, Virginia
kept on gaining ground and scoring
touchdowns though the last two
games were lost to Maryland and
North Carolina, respectively.
Murray first used the "T'' at
tack in the south in 1871 when ALL
American Bill Dudley and team
mates scored 279 points and netted
gains of 3,021 yards, a little more
than this years Cavalier team. In
43 games through five seasons the
Virginians have counted 925 points,
while failing. to score in only three
games.
1.-THE TT offers more offensive
possibilities than any method of at
tack I have SEEM Murray said.
He argues that the 1916 season will
see the T-formation offering start
ling new developments as the
coaches who use it get better ma
teria1.
Football is battle where the
offense seeks to stay ahead of the
Defense" Murray declared. ''When
the TT attack was first introduced
the offense forged Enthusiastically
ahead. Three years later the shift
ing defenses began to equalize mat
tiers. But this season gave evidence
that the pendulum was again swing
ing toward the side of the attack,
and this swing will be even more
evident through the 1916 cam
paign."
Murray was a teacher before he
became a coach. In fact, he never
played college football but learned
the game by studying it, and he
spends long hours studying it the
year around.
During the last five seasons Coach
Murray has spent many more hours
in formation. research than he
has in coaching it on the practice
field. He will continue his studies,
for his admitted ambition is to
'know more about the Information
than anybody I'll ever have to
meet"
