 Radio Beam Now PIonned
Wire OommuRle aslOA 10 Be Out. oded Soon

"Telegrams between major cities will travel by radio beam instead of by wire within the next few years," william A. Finley, local manager of the Western Union Telegraph Company stated today. "By using radio relays instead of the present trunk pole lines. the company will replace thousands of poles and hundreds of thousands of miles of wire.
 This system will improve the quality, depehdibility and speed of telegraph service provided to the public. It will reduce interruptions resulting from storms, falling trees and electrical disturbances. Also, the cost of the program over @ period of seven years will be less than would have been required for maintenance and reconstruction of the pole lines to be replaced.
 'The first step in the program now underway is the establishment of what is known as '"The New York washington Pittsburgh trt- angle" This triangle will provide two-way radio beam conlmunica- ton between these cities and will permit the removal of some 2,500 miles of pole lines. The second step will be the extension of the system late in 1046 to Columbus, Cincinnati, Chicago, Toledo and Cleveland.
 ''Each of these super-high fre- quency beams will be used to pro- vide circuts for all available tele- graph traffic as well as Tor other purposes. Because these radio waves do not follow the earth's curvature, relay towers located on hills and mountains as for as fifty miles apart must catch the waves to bend them along the surface of the earth. The towers will be from SO to 120 feet in height.
 "On each relay tower are two pairs of circular rehectors, one pair aimed at the next tower in each di- rection. Incoming waves are caught by an antenna, located in what looks like a tin can in the center of 6 reflector. The waves then pass the other side of the tower and are sent to the next tower"

WANTED: Garden of Eden h U. s. as Home for UNO

!. Beautiful country and set- ting for site. including route to and from metropolis, and protection of amenities in surrounding areas. '
 There another big qualifica- tion, too, which is making the local populations of the most promin- ently proposed sites jittery. It wasn't very carefully considered in the first bursts of communal generosity in offering sites. It reads:
 Satisfactory arrangements in agreement with the Federal State and-or other authorities that restrictions would never be imposed; adequate land for radio and air stations without risk of interference from adjacent land and activities"
 Just what these ''satisfactory arrangements" will be is now be- ing discussed in London by the General Assembly of the UNO according to the chairman of the site committee, Stoyan Gavrilo- vitch of Yugoslavia. He said they would probably include dip- lomatic immunity. This means that any selected area would be exempt from any Federal, State or local taxes.
 Taking a big chunk of land estimated at from 70 to 30 square miles - away as a source of tax revenue from a tax district would put very heavy burden on ad- jacent landholderS. It has been decided that the site will be in the suburbs of a big city. Most persons went to a suburbs to be in a subirbs-which 1t will cease to be if the UNO moves in.
 Diplomatic immunity also means that certain laws, including traf- fic regulations, won't apply to UNO delegates.
 RUMBLINGS HAVE STARTED
 Tn addition, any UNO commun- ity will include an extremely heterogeneous set of cultures and standards, the combination of which the average parent might tnlnk nGtle too cosmopolitan for his family.
 Already the State Department is hearing vague r1lmblings from the staid citizens of the land around Hyde Park, which is be- heved to have the first chance of becoming UNO's home.
 MT. Gavrilovitch, however, has 8 word of encouragement. He says the work of his committee will only be in the form of Q rec ommendation. The General As- sembly will have to make the final decision and that body isn't bound by the suggestion that it be put on the East Coast. So there is still hope for Texas. Missouri, or the Black Hills.

Stores to Be Classified yStoteOPA o,BOO Food RelalleFs
 AakAh aA EllA nAnnRs

Connecticut's $500 food retailers were requested Monday to compute their 104b gross sales in order to de- terEnine by January si the price group to which each now belongs, 1t was announced by the State of- flee of Price Administration.
 OpA cIassifles all food stores in four groups, according to annual sales volume, the State Office ex- plained. It is expected that due to wartime and post-war population shifts, some food stores experienced increases or decreases in 1045 sales which would change their classifi- cations. Retail food stores are at present classified on the basis of gross sales during 1914.
 These stores which change to an- other group due to changed sales volume have until January 3i to refigure their ceiling prices. This is done by applying the fnarkup of their new group to the net cost on which their existing ceiling prices are based.
 The four retail food store groups are as follows: Group 1, indepen- dent stores with annual gross sales of less than S50,O00: Group 2, in- dependents with annual gross sales of $50y000 but less than @25O,OO0; Group 3, chain stores with annual gross sales of less than $250, 900; and Group {, an store with annual gross sales of $25O,O or more.
 A chain store is defined as one of four or more stores under one ownership, whose combined gross sales are $500,000 or more 0 year.
 Food retailers who find that their 1945 sales volume will result In a changed classification should post the new group number in their stores by January 31, OPA said.

New High In
 umberOf Discharges 28 aeo Connecticut Men Leave Service
 In December

Local Boards in Connecticut are now facing the major Impact of de- mobilization in connection with the veterans assistance program of Sel- ective Service. Commander John F. Robinson, State Director of Selec- tive Service, stated today. For the month of December, he added, a new high was reached in the num- Der of Connecticut men discharged from the armed forces, the total number being 26,4S8.
 The full weight of this load of work descending on our local boards, he continued, is indicated by the fact that regardless of whether all of these veterans desire aid for civ- Han relocation, all who registered prior Co entering the armed forces must contact their local boards. This may be accomplished in per- son, by mail, or through the most convenient board. All who enlisted prior to the date on which they would have registered are now rec quired to register.
 Up to January lst, l946, the Com snander added, the total number of discharges of Connecticut men since the inception of Selective Service in October 1940 totals 1l3,6lS. Approx imately 250,000 have served in the armed forces since October 1940, continued the Commander. and of this number l86,500 have been in- ducted to date through the Selective Service System.
 The number of discharges of Con- necticut men from the armed forces for each month of 1945 were:
 January 960.
 February 733.
 March 757.
 April 750.
 May l,946.
 June 5000.
 July 2,00S.
 August 4,069.
 September S,l5l.
 October 19,63l.
 November 25,5lO.
 December 26,488. The increasing rate of discharges means increased referrals from Sel- ective Service boards to various agencies, city, state or federal, the Commander said and makes 1t man. datory for every community to have and maintain a community Veter- ans Service Center to assist the re- turning veteran.
