New Radar Lighthouse
Advises Lost Ships,
Planes Of Positions
By THOMAS r. HENRY.

Radio lighthouses for lost ships
and airplanes now are being de-
veloped by the Coast Guard.
They are an evolution from radar,
which depends on the echo of radio
signals from solid objects In their
path. This will tell ship the loca-
ton of other ships with which it is
in danger of colliding, or of the
shore. 1t will warn an airplane
when 1t is perilously near noun
tain peak.
The new device, racon, requires a
combined receiving and sending sta
ton. When the former gets a radar
pulse of designated type, the send
ing apparatus will be activiated and
the ship or plane will get a return
message entirely of echoes.
The location of the racon station
is known. Consequently ship or
plane pilot Immediately can deter
mine his location within a wide
radius of the point from which re-
turn message is received.
The outstanding advantage of this
type Of radar aid to navigation is
that single beacon in an area will
enable an aircraft to navigate in
any weather conditions if fitted with
the necessary interrogating equip
ment and at much greater reliable
range than with radar alone.
Radar energy transmitted toward
q. normal target is greatly attenu-
sSed on its way to, or during refiec-
tion from this target. Since targets
fer navigational purposes usually
are small or poorly defined, only a
small amount of energy is reflected
and the reflected energy may die
out before it can travel back over
long distances to the receiver. Hence
the racon is designed to put out
large amount of energy of its own,
which will allow dependable identi-
f1cation at much greater distance
The device already has been used
experimentally by aircraft but con-
siderable investigation and develop
ment work has been initiated by the
Coast Guard to adapt it to marine
navigation.

The famous trademark lion
looks majestic - but he's
really a hopeless ham

TNHAT lion who lets out roar before
l. M-G-M's latest supercolossal hits the
screen - he's some lion. His name is Leo,
he's seven, partial to rumba music and crazy
about perfume (preferably narcissus)
We called on Leo the other day when
Hedy Lamar wasn't able to keep her
appointment with us. 1t was an impromptu
visit, but Leo didn't mind. He was going
through some exercises for his trainer,
George Emerson, when we arrived at his
apartment, a sumptuous three-room affair
with sleeping quarters and two play dens.
To stay at an even 500 pounds, Leo goes
through an elaborate, ee-times-a-week
routine of walking tightrope, rolling
barrel and jumping through hoop. Then
he relaxes plays dead for while. poses for
living statues, and opens his mouth real wide,
inviting his trainer to stick his head inside
Lately, however, his trainer has been
doing no such thing. A few months
ago Leo got temperamental for the first
time in his life, took a nip out of Emer
sons leg. Leo's awfully penitent, and
Emersons perfectly willing to let the whole
thing drop. But he still isn't sticking his
head in any lions mouth.
Leo's job, like Gau, is divided into three
parts: acting in pictures (mostly in Tarzan

The trademark business is a great honor
- also a closed corporation. It's been in
Leo's family for five generations, ever since
1918. Leo | was everything you'd expect
of the head of dynasty. When he died
(of appendicitis), he was succeeded by his
son, Leo II, a hard-working but lighthearted
lion who was fond of flying. He cracked up
with Martin Jensen in the mountains of
Arizona while on tour, and three days
later, the terrified inhabitants of the vicin-
ity found him stranded on the desert Leo ii
was as disconsolate as an owl and hungry

FORCED PRESENCE AT
ANTI-UNION SPEECH

Washington FP)- NLRB es-
tablished an important precedent in
pre-collective bargaining election acti-
employer who forced his workers to
attend anti-union speeches on working
time committed an unfair labor prac-
tice.
The case on which the ruling was
based involved Clark Bros. Co., Olean,
N. Y, the United Auto Workers (CIO),
and Employees Assn. Inc, of Clark
Bros. Co., an affiliate of the Confed-
Grated Unions of America. Board Mem
Der Gerard d. Reilly dissented from
Chairman Paul Herzog and John Hous-
ton in their finding that the company
carried on illegal activities to prevent
the JAW from winning plant cleo
ton.
In forcing the workers to listen to
an anti-union address one hour before
the voting, the NLRB majority said:
1.-THE employers purpose was not
merely to express it's views, but rather
to engage in an organized, intensive
and aggressive campaign forming part
of general course of conduct aimed
at achieving detectives forbidden by
the Wagner act"

addressed in the plant on the commun-
ity chest, Red Cross and bond drives

speech, an off the record talk before
an American Legion post Aug. 5, was
originally carried Aug. 26 by FEEDER

Messersmith's speech and the emo
tional manner of its delivery, accord

such antagonism toward the Soviet
Union that his audience was shocked.
Several American correspondents were
in the audience but were warned
against sending out reports of the
talk.
The ambassador, who stressed the
importance of developing good rela-
tons between the U. S. and the Peron
regime in the Argentine, took credit
for the get-tough-with Russia utter

This act has been responsible for
more strikes than it has prevented
and the result has been that even one
of its sponsors, Congressman Howard
Smith of Virginia, has been trying to
have it repealed.

February 7, 1916 and subsequently on

years ago.
In reply to the ACM's contention
that travelling from camp to the
scene of operations was the same as
travelling from a workers home to
work. Judge Brown drew a very de-
finite line of demarcation. He pointed
out that when an employee had to live
in camp it was impossible for him to
maintain the usual conception of a
home since the camps were not so
outfitted to permit wives and families
to be with their husbands, and carry
on the ordinary pursuits of living and
maintaining a home. He further held,
in reply to the defendants contention
that time put in on travelling to and
from the scene of operations was not
