Flood Control Plans,
Costing 5 Billions,
Wait Only on Funds
~ the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Five billion dollars OF flood con
troll and navigational projects avail
only congressional starting gun.
The work was authorized befor,
and during the war but specific ap.
preparations are needed.
The War Departments Chief oi
Engineers ONCE has about $4,000.
000,0 900 and the Bureau of Reclama-
ton has approximately $1,000, 0,000,-
600 in authorizations-subject tc
Capitol Hill coming through with
appropriations.
The projects include food control
navigation, irrigation, river and
harbor and similar undertakings
How many projects will get under
way through congressional grants
will depend on how well private in
dustry absorbs the manpower made
idle as . result Of the wars end.
The Army engineers say $7O0 ,OO0,-
900 of their proposed work is in
the ready-to-go category and could
provide years work for 100000
men. Plans are continuing for an
other $4,000 100000 of programs
Another i,300,0O0,00O in engineer
projects is on the books.
The Reclamation Bureau esti-
mates that if Congress gives the
go-ahead signal for its $1,000 ,000.-
900 of projects, considerably more
than 100000 man-years of work
would be provided

The potentialities of radar for air
detection came as another acci-
dental discovery in 1880 by DIR. Tay-
lor and Mr.. Young, aided by l.. A.
Hyland, now executive engineer for
the Bendix Aviation Corp, when ii
was found that passing aircraft
caused considerable interference
to their high frequency landing sys-
tenn for aircraft. This was differ
ent from the 1922 experiment be-
cause the plane was above the trans
mitter and receiver and not be-
tween them. Military aviation was
then sufficiently advanced to show
the vast potentialities of their early
detection to prevent attacks.
During the months of constant
work on this phase of radar up to
ranges of 40 miles, even the dirigible

Akron was used. However. the ex-
periments were not particularly
successful because regular radio
waves rather than pulses" were
used, necessitating bulky receivers
and transmitters.
Credited by Navy.
Mr.. Young Is credited by the
Navy with first having thought of
radio pulses" to permit the re-
ceivers and transmitters to be
brought together for shipboard use
DR.. Robert M. Page, 2611 Thirty
third street Sc, was brought in to
assist Mr.. Young with Robert C.
Guthrie, 1851 Wheeler road, Laurel
Hill. DR.. Page subsequently was
credited by DR.. Taylor with having
made more contributions to modern
radar than any other man."
So successful were they while
working under the direction of Rear
Admiral Harold Gardner Bowen,
then director of the laboratory, that

A small group of District scientists
had a major role in the develop
ment OF radar which stripped Ger
many and Japan of the weapon of
surprise attacks by sea and air,
officials of the Naval Research Lab
oratory in Anacostia disclosed today.
The laboratory, commanded by
Rear Admiral A. H. Van Keuren,
retired, was itself the birthplace
of the earliest principles upon which
radar was developed and continued
as the hub of experiments, which
when pooled with the independent
research of British scientists, gave
the Allies another superior weapon
for the destruction of the Axis.
