Contact With Moon Turned
Into Routine by Signal Men

NEW Notwithstanding radar sig
nails to the moon and receiving them
back within a matter of seconds is
routine these days for the army sig
nal corps.
The corps now is developing new
radar equipment designed to keep
in contact with the moon 235, 900
miles away almost constantly dur
ing the time between moonrise and
moonSet.
The laboratory doing these tests
is located at Belmar, N. j., near
Asbury Park, where man in JAN
uary, 1916, established radar con-
tact with the moon for the first time.
The powerful radar equipment
bounces signals off the moon at the
speed of light. The signals make the
round trip in about two and one-half
seconds.
The signal corps scientists have
not yet tried to contact Mars, but
they do not rule out such an at
tempt, even though Mars is much
farther away.
Mars, however, will be only "a
million miles from earth about the
middle of next February.
If the signal corps radar equip
ment could contact Mars, the sig
nails would reach there and return
in about six minutes.

Army Transfer for
Quality Men Barred
Restoration of 100000 Men to
Combat Duty Told.

CHICAGO. - The quality of in
fantry and other combat units,
which army ground forces consid-
cred below average during World
War II, was raised most effectively
in late 1944-1945 by the wholesale
transfer or restoration to combat
duty of 200, 900 top specimens from
the air and service forces and other
sections of the army.
This is reported in the Infantry
Journal in the concluding article of
a series on manpower in World War
II by Robert R. Palmer, whose stud
les are Incorporated in the army's
official war history.
Earlier Palmer had stated that
combat ground forces were over
weighted with men of poor physique
and low mentality, which created a
serious leadership problem in the
lowest command echelons, and bore
directly on high casualty rates.
The wholesale transfer came too
late to do much good, Palmer
writes, because half of the divisions
already were overseas. Training of
the remaining divisions which re-
ceived the new and supposedly bet
ter men, he said, had to be hasty
and fell below army ground forces
standards.

Man-Made Rain Saves Big

NEW YORK. - The Domini-

North Carolina made headlines

its own special case. The local
case has knocked the props right
out from under the bank night
idea at local theatres.
A Negro youth held a ticket
which was called the winner at a
county theatre bank night-that
is, he had the stub. But when
officials learned he was Negro,
the award was not made and a
new drawing ordered. The youths
family hired lawyer to look into

SEATTLES FORGOTTEN DISTRICT AN
EYESORE--JACKSON ST. COM. COUNCIL

Pointing out the hazards which
exist from poor street lighting,
the undesirability of viaduct in
this neighborhood, and the num-
Der of traffic accidents on jack
son ST., the Executive Committee
of the Jackson st. Community
Council approved the recommends
lions of its Civic Committee for
correction of these matters on
Tuesday, January 13.
Showing the relationship be-
tween dark streets and crime, the
committee recommended that addi-
tional functional street lights be
provided on Main st. from Fifth
to Maynard; King Street from
Fifth to Ninth; Weller Street
from Fifth to Eight; Sixth, May
nard, Seventh and Eight Avenues
from Jackson Street to Weller
including the alley between May
nard and Seventh; and the area
between 14th and 23rd Avnues,
from Spruce to Weller Streets.
A great deal of discussion cer-
tered about the proposal of the
City Engineer to construct via
duct across Jackson st. at Sth
Avenue South to carry traffic from
Capatol Hill to Airport Way. OPP
position to this plan from residents
and businessmen in the district
was based upon the fact that via
ducts create a dark and dreary
atmosphere below it, causing &C
emulation of litter and providing
hangouts for undesirable charact-
ers seeking to prey upon passer-
bys. They also pointed out that
most large urban cities are tear
ing down overhead structures than
constructing them. An alternative
method of handling traffic con-
gestion, it was recommended that
the City give consideration to
the grading of either Sth Avenue
South or 7th Avenue South from
Main to Jackson Streets to provide
a sufficiently wide roadway from
Yesler Hill to Airport Way, with
traffic light at the intersection
of this street with Jackson
