Spotted Enemy Targets Through
Darkness, Smoke or Fog
The Bell System
The Iorgest source Of Rdd0T
for our fighting forces

i HIS is not surprising for Radar development
and production stems from the same roots that pro.
duced and continue to nourish this country's telephone
system.
Radar, The instrument which enabled our land, sea
and air forces to spot enemy targets through darkness,
smoke or fog, was one of the outstanding new fighting
instruments of the war.
Two years before Pearl Harbor the Government
asked Bell Telephone Laboratories TO put It's wide
experience and knowledge of electronics to work TO
help perfect Radar as a military instrument. From then
on the Laboratories co-operaied closely in the Radar
program with the National Defense Research Commit.
Zee, with Army and Navy specialists, and with scientists
OF Great Britain.
The Western Electric Company, manufacturing
branch Of the Bell System, became the Nations largest
supplier of Radar systems. One type IL made was uni.
versaIIy used by B-29's in The Pacific for navigation,

played an important part in aiming the guns on our

Of the same student generation
at Dartmouth College, the two men
had not previously met.
After leaving the Secretary's Of
flee, Mr. Granger declared that MI
ForreStal had shown an encourag-
ingly fresh attitude toward t h c
whole question of racial inequality
and discrimination in h Armed
Forces. The two men will meet
again in the near future to discuss
in detail some of the points COW
cred.
WOULD CONDUCT STUDY
Among other things, the Urban
League Secretary emphasized the
need for thorough investigation
of the real conditions under which
Negroes live and serve in the Navy
so as to uncover those factors re-
sponsible for such outbreaks as the
Hunger Strike" carried on recent
ly by Negro Seabees at Port Hue
meme, Calf
Other recommendations called foI
wide assignment of Negro nurses
to duty in naval hospitals; pro-
grams for training and commits
sioning of additional officer per-
sonnet and their assignment to q
broad spread of naval respsonsi-
bility; correcting unsatisfactory
employment conditions in many
shipyards and other naval establish
ments, and wider publicity for Ne
groes engaged in combat in other
naval services.
Mr.. Granger raised the question
of the postwar status of Negroes
in the Navy, pointing out that ex-
cept for mess attendants, stewards,
and the like, practically all pres
ent Negro personnel are in h e
Nays reserves rather than in the
regular service.
ASK GREATER INTEGRATION
Mr.. Granger emphasized h e
need for wider use of Negro COM
missioned personnel as specialists
n d technician throughout h e
whole department; promotion OF
some to the ranks above that OF
ensigns and lieutenants; creation
of a formal public relations ma
chinery to publicize in the Negro

up advisory machinery which will

actually put it into effect in the va
rious branches and divisions of the

Mr.. Changers closing comment
on the conference was as follows

all of these suggestions, several OF

some length. am hopeful that fu-
cure conferences, and extracts with
other representatives of Negro or
