Pitcairn Islanders Enjoy
Closer Contact with World

Pitcairn island, on the direct route
between Panama and New Zealand,
is a little sea-girt mountain isle
with the surf breaking at the base
OF reddish colored cliffs. Here, for
many years. mutineers found refuge,
out of the line Of passing ships.
Today their descendants are bring

Present day Pitcairners who still

mutineers. speak perfect English to
strangers. but among themselves

Of English hardly Ineligible to the
outsider.
In September. 1889. Fletcher
Christian with eight mutineers, six
Tahitian men and IL Tahitian
women, sailed from Tahiti to Pit
cairn, attracted to it by its utter
remoteness which they considered
strong safeguard. All obvious oc-
cupation of the island was destroyed
at that time. The settlement was
discovered In 1903 by men from an
American warship.
Today the 100 islanders live In
peace and largely In communal

Pitcairn island Is about two miles
long and a mile wide. Its climate
might be regarded as perfect, as
there are no extremes Of heat or
cold.
Passenger ships now stop at the
island on an average Of once a
month, for the purchase Of fruit and
local wares. The island Ia kept In
touch with the outside world by
means Of a wireless station.

DREW PEARSON
South May Join Republicans

TAPITOL HILL is TALKING
~ about a move to adopt the re-
hellious southern Democrats in the
Republican party. The plan is to
offer the G.. o. P. vice-presidential
nomination to southerner, possibly
Virginia's Sen. Harry Byrd.
The idea already has picked up
some support among southern Dem
ocrats and has been given a strong
push by western Republicans. The
Republicans are eager to carve UP
the "Solid South" while the time is
ripe.
One westerner, who has been
squirting the idea in the cloakrooms,
is Utah's Congressman William
Dawson. He proposes a Vanden-
berg-Byrd ticket, pointing out that
the big Michigan Republican al
ready has a reputation for biparti-
san cooperation while the conserva-
tive Byrd usually votes Republican
anyhow.
This ticket has the private en-
dorsement of an overwhelming
number of southern Democrats
who have asked that their names be
kept secret until the merger plan

Just an Old Wind-Bag

II you think you're using modern
slang when you call someone an old
'wind-bag," you're wrong. Aeolus
was the father Of the winds in Greek
mythology. World Book encyclo-
pedia says he kept the wind in bags
and 1oosed them according to his
whirns. Sometimes he released gen.
tie winds to help sailors on their
way. Sometimes he let out fierce
ones to create great storms. The
term ''wind-bag'' came from this
ancient legend.

Twas a Great Day

Truth or fable, the story first was
put into print in 1909 when it ap-
peared in the sixth edition of Mason
Locke Weems' biography of Wash
ington. Weems, who claimed he
heard the tale from an aged woman
who was a distant relative of the
WaShingtons, ecstatically wrote the
first version as follows:
George said his father, do
you know who killed that beautiful
little cherry tree yonder in the gar
den?' This was a tough question;
and George staggered under it for a
moment; but quickly recovered
himself, and looking at his father,
with the sweet face of youth bright
ened with the inexpressible charm
of all-conquering truth, he bravely

Radar Can Spot
Moving Targets
Army Develops a New Type
Which Can Pick Out
Objects on Ground.

PHILADELPHIA new type o
radar which can pick out a moving
object-a tank, a truck or even {
man-against its background, some
thing which no radar in use during
the var was capable of doing, has
been developed by the army, it was
disclosed here.
The present equipment, weighing
many tons, is not a mobile field unit,
but development which will reduce
the present cumbersome equipment
to easily handled field size is in prog
reSS, it was minated.
The new type radar is known as
moving target indication" it was
revealed by Capt. Jack M. Clark,
radar authority of the Second army,
who addressed a group of reserve
officers and veterans in a military
orientation talk.
Adapted to CPS.
At the present time, the moving
target indication has been adapted
only to the very heavy radar in
stallation known as CPS-6, postwar
model of the highly sensitive device
which was used to pick up the vi
"buZz bombs" deluging London
during the war. 1t vas used pri-
marily to direct royal air force
fighters which Intercepted the rela-
lively slow Wis.
The CPS, weighing many tons,
cannot be moved about in accord
ence with tactical situations such
as small unit sections would meet,
where detection of a squad of men,
one or two tanks or a small convoy
would be of great military advan-
tage.
Effect on Tactics.
However, Captain Clark said that
If the knowing position indication"
kit which is now attachable to the
CPS-6 had been available in the Ard
ennes, it undoubtedly would have
picked up the concentration Of the
German armored forces which eff
fected the breakthrough in the Bat
tie of the Bulge.
A moving position indication ra-
dar would nullify such tactics as
night infltration, which the Japa-
nese used to such advantage in
many campaigns in the Pacific, as
well as the organizing of heavy troop
concentrations under cover of dark
ness.
Although, as pointed out, such APP
plications must await development
of equipment now in a relatively
crude form, all of the fundamental
technology and equipment is in
hand. When final development is
achieved, it is expected to cause
some drastic revision of standard
ground forces tactics and supply
procedures.
