SIGNAL CORPS HAS BIRTHDAY;; iS S5
 YEARS OLD TODAY

Exactly 85 years ago, on March 3, 1863, Congress established the Sig nal Corps as a seperate branch of the Army. At that time the Corps was composed of less than 100 per sonnel. This all happened as result of an Assistant Army Surgeons de- yelopment Of system of signalling with flags called 'wig-wag.' This surgeon, Albert J. Myer was ap- pointed the first Chief Signal Of- ficer of the Army and later promot- ed to Brigadier General In 1870, the Signal Corps established weather reporting system which grew into the present. Weather Bureau now in the Denartment of Commerce.
 Point Barrow Alasks still operat- ed by the Signal Corps (Alaska Com- munications System) was one of these early-day weather stations, in 1892 the Signal Corps established a balloon section, fifteen years later, in 1907 an Aeronautical Division was established with one plane, capable of a speed of 40 miles per hour. That was the beginning of today's mighty Army Air Forces.
 During the second World War, il was tne responsibility of the Signal Corps to establish a glcbal communi- cations network requiring a procure ment program aggregating more than s6,o00, ,O00 GOO. As an example ot the speed attained ty the Signal Corps in transmitting messages dur
 ng the war, a nine-word message was sent completely around the world by radio ard landline, through four relay stations in l-2 minutes. The Signal Corps was mainly res- ponsible for much of the research and development of Radar for mill tary usuage in World War II.
 The Alaska Communication Sys- tenn, presently commanded by Col T. J. Fully, Signal Officer with lnearly 30 years service in the Army is one of the units that has consis- tently played an important part over the past half century in bring ing to the U. s. Signal Corps, the prestige and reputation it enjoys

Police Seek Slayer
OF Armament Expert
By the AssoeIufsd Press

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa, Dec. 16.-
Police today hunted for the slayer
of Byron G. Hattman, 20, an air
craft armament expert from st.
Louis, whose body was found in a
blood-spattered seventh-f1o hotel
room yesterday. There was evidence
of terrific struggle.
Police Detective Tom Condor said
police were alerted to watch for
persons who showed evidence Of
having been involved in recent heavy
fighting. He said:
1--WE are certain that the assail-
ant or assailants responsible for the
murder could not have escaped with
out some such injuries as black eyes,
deep facial cuts and banged-up
knuckles."
Coroner Robert Brosh said Mr..
Hattman, who specialized in arma-
ment design for the Emerson Elec-
trio Co. of st. Louis, was killed by
a powerful stab thrust which broke
his seventh rib and pierced his
heart.
Mr.. Brosh said the nature of the
wound indicated the weapon may
have been two-edged knife similar
to ones used by the Marines in
jungle fighting. Police theorized
there may have been two attackers.
Mr.. Hattman, a former Marine, was
s feet inches tall and weighed 200
pounds.
Among clues which police studied
was a message scrawled on panel
of framed chicken bones which was
found in the trunk of Mr.. Hattman's
car. An 11-by-14-inch frame con-
|tained~two chicken bones mounted
on a white cloth which bore the
crudely printed legend, "Lest you
forget"
This clue, however, was appar-
emily knocked down when St.
Louis associate of Mr.. Hattman's
advised police the knick-knack had
been sent Mr.. Hattman by young
woman in token of chicken dinner
they enjoyed together.
