The site itself is about five mile,

Part OF Route
When the range goes into opera
ton about August l, it will be one
of seven or eight such ranges sta
toned from Charleston, S. C. tt
New York. These ranges are being
installed concurrently with the
Wilmington range in Charleston
S. c.; Myrtle Beach, S. c.; New
Bern; Elizabeth City: Norfolk
Va; and Cape May, N. J.
Another may also be erected ir
Atlantic City. N. j.
When they begin operation, the
ranges will give the Atlantic coast
air route a s%uper-safe, super-mod-
ern "sky highway"
The WIFI beams, super-short ra-
do waves, are able to punch
through the worst sort of weather
and guide planes in and out of
airports on an unmistakable
straight line.
This means that flight schedules
will go on practically un~interrupt-
ed regardless Of weather condi-
tons. 1t also means that a new
era of airplare safety will have
daWned.

RESERVE TRAINING
US. Navy To Acquire
NCSC Building, Apron

There is a strong possibility that
the U. S. Navy may acquire both
the employment office and the
northyard ship apron of the North
Carolina Shipbuilding company fol
use in the training of Wilmington's
Organized Reserve unit, it was
learned after two Sixth Naval dis
trict officers inspected the facilities
yesterday.
The two officers = Comdr. J. W.
Daniel and Lieut.. Comdr. J. C..
Stamp - said they were highly
enthusiastic" over the building and
the apron and would recommend
that Charleston, D. c., headquart-
ers begin negotiations with the U.
S. Maritime commission immedi-
ately.
"Dryland" Training
According to present plans, the
employment office will serve as an
armory for ''dryland'' training in
all phases of Navy operations :
radio, gunnery, shipfitting, etc.
The apron will be used as a dock
for the permanent stationing of a
training ship.
L. E. Voss, resident plant engi-
neer of the Maritime commission
at the shipyard, said the Navy will
probably obtain the office building
outright. The apron, he said, will
be loaned" to the Navy as a dock
without the Navy actually acquir-
ing it outright as in the case of the
building.
To Recommend Move
According to Voss. the Navy will
likely apply direct to Washington,
D. c., commission headquarters
for transfer of the building and
