RADAR CONTACTS
MADE WITH MOON
Continued from Page One)

sphere. The several layers Of the
ionosphere start about SO miles
above the earth's surface and ex-
tend to approximately $50 miles.
AS other possible uses of the new
technique the War department
listed:
!. Studying the effects Of the
ionosphere upon radio waves. BY
checking radar data against as
tronomers' visual data it will be
possible to compute accurately the
effect of distortion Of radio waves
by the ionized layers.
2. It may be possible to con-
struct detailed typographical maps
of distant planets with the aid OF
radar data and to determine the
position and atmospheric charac-
teristics of other celestial bodies.
Gen. Ingles recalled that Sir Ed.
ward Appleton, British physicist,
recently predicted that scientists
might be able to map the surface
of the moon very accurately with
the aid of radar but that other
authorities believed considerable
improvement in radar techniques
would be necessary.
8. A '1ess likely application OF
the new technique is the radio con-
troll from the earth Of "space
ships'' venturing thousands of
miles and reporting astronomical
data, electronically com u te d
aboard such vessels.
The experiments were directed
by 1t. Col. John H. Dewitt, Jr.,
former director of the Evans Signal
laboratory.
The War department said the
problem of detecting radar echoes
from the moon was complicated by
the fact that scientists were uncer.
tain they could project radio waves
beyond the earth's atmosphere
Also they had never succeeded in
generating sufficient energy in the
very high frequency band in radio
to attain the round trip of nearly
half million miles to the moon anc
back.

Other developments in the &C.

Headquarters ordered abolition
of the ancient Japanese custom OF
selling daughters into compulsory

The National Council Of the all

2. Gen. Douglas A. Macarthur
in the Philippines was given "a
great DEAL of advance informa.

send to him in Hawaii.
8. He felt that Gen. George G.
Marshall, chief Of staff, would
have told him an attack was due

self had expected it.

Short read into the record :

unsolicited telegram from an OF
ficer whom I don't even remem

| Leask, and dated January %
1916, at Waterloo, Iowa, it said:

worked to complete them in Ney

President Truman also said the
striking steelworkers would re-
turn at their old wages, If the
steel industry eventually is seized.
He added, however, he thought 1t
not practical to seize the steel IN

that the steel industry should al

The President contended both

he had asked Congress for labor

CITIZENS SAVING

which include $2,236, 4ss.4s or an
increase of 10 per cent, in the
Morris Plan bank; 81, 1895. 1893, or an
increase of 10 per cent in the Peo-
Piles Savings Bank and Trust COM
pany, and 1855, 522.75, or an m
crease of IA per cent in the Will
mington Savings and Trust COM
pany. The Security National Bank
indicated definite increase but
had no local breakdown of figures.
The overall picture of Security
Nationals statewide fl ure $
showed favorable increase, Of
ficials pointed out.
Why such decided increase in
savings over the peak year OF 1914?
Was, it shift from saving to
spending? Or was it due to the
small flow of saleable articles to
the shelves of store?
The figures themselves belle the
answer. The county, according to
economists, has just completed the
greatest buying binge in history
yet, in the same instance. wages
and total incomes have decreased
while savings increased.
It could be, one source ex-
planned, due to a halt in the pur-
chase of war bonds and the put
ting of those monies into banks
as the above total does not include
bond savings. But, whatever the
answer, the money is on deposit.
One Wilmington businessman
summed the situation in this man.
ner:
He pointed to the years of the
early '30's when workers lost their
homes, their cars and were forced
to remove their children from col
leges to cut-back on living ex-
penses when they were caught
short. Those same people have
made money during the past war
years and are now going to have
those homes, those cars and give
educations to grandchildren, he
stressed.
Still anothed merchant voiced
his views in an entirely different
manner. Much of that money is
going into home repair, he said.
During the war, many persons
owning property made the most
Of the situation and rented out all
available space. This money they
saved. Their plans call for full
repairs to homes which have been
in the need of such for many
years, he explained.
A third businessman commend.
ed the foresight Of the saving pub
lie saying the influx Of small items
will be taken up by the wage-earn-
er of today from his weekly sal.
airy. Those savings are going for
the larger articles-homes, cars
and small businesses.
A banker expressed the belief
that the money is going to be put
to work when building materials
are available. Homes are going
to be constructed with combina
ton Of savings and bank loans
but they are not going to spend al
Of it. Some is going to be hele
back for a reserve fund-the Amer
lean public has learned its lesson

The British leader in his re.
sumo of the perilous state of Al.
lied arms in the dark days after
Pearl Harbor, as published by
Life, said, in part:
1--WE have been and are at pres.
ent outnumbered by the sea, land
and air forces Of Japan through
cut the Far Eastern theater.
1.-The House must face the situa.
ton squarely. Not only have we
failed to stem the advance of the
new enemy, but we have had to
weaken seriously the hopeful opera
tions we were carrying on against
the old.
1.-THE Valiant and hitherto sue
cessful resistance Of Russia has
alone rendered these highly dan
eerous diversions (of men and
material to the Far East possible
without disastrous consequences
so far
Churchill then told Commons:
"On the early morning Of Dec.

unusual diving suits were captur-
ed Laundering in the harbor OF
Alexandria. Four hours later ex'
plosions occurred on the bottoms

effect of which was to blow larg'
holes in the bottoms OF both ship!
and to flood several compart
ments.
"Thus we had no longer an.
battle squadron in the Mediterra
nean."
Discussing the Italian fleet
Churchill said according to pre-
war notions and indeed all the pa
per calculations there was no rea
son why large German and Ital
ian army should not have bee
ferried across to invade not mere
ly Libya or Palestine or Syria
but Egypt, itself"
Churchill read an admiralty doc
ument, pertaining to the success

of the German cruisers Scharn
horst and Gneisenau, which /
days before the venture surnise'
the move.
Only eight destroyers were avail
able to attack the cruisers, Chur
! chill said, because 'the rest of gu
flotil1as were, and are, out on tn
approa ches from the Atlantic con
voying food and munitions fror
the U. S. without which we Car
not live"
Reporting on the fall of Singa
pore, Churchill said:
after a long rear-guard actio
down the Malay peninsula, Their
were about 100000 men gathere
in the Island of Singapore by tn
morning of Feb. 3, d942).
"On the night of Feb. 8 abo,

til perhaps 10000 men had bee
landed. After five or six days

The prime minister said he di
not "see that the japanese woul
