FLYING RADAR STATIONS NEXT

major aircraft builder recently announced that It
was constructing highaltitude reconnaissance aircraft
equipped with six tons of eecronic equipment This
equipment VIII make the reconnaissance aircraft eqiva-
lent TO flying radar station capable of searching out
enemy ships and planes at distances heretofore believed
impossible.
It will be remembered that, during World War II, the
device which finally licked the threat of Uboats in the
Atlantic was adequate searching equipment such as RAJ
OAR IL was the ability of the British and Americans to
discover the exact location of German submarines which
enabled them to sink Uboats at such successful rate
The importance of electronc advances in the armed
and Navy will contain he most powerful search radar"
yet designed and the planes will be able to fly long dis
tances at time without refueng The ship will carry
crew of 81 menwho will operate the ship and radar
ton and the Navy model will also be equipped to serve
as Observation-Disclosures while airborne.
In this capacity, the Nays flying radar station will
be able to guide fighters and bombers to enemy carriers
and to guide them to enemy aircraft which beyond
the reach of search radar on surface ships.
The importance electronc advances in the armed
services cannot be overestmated It the British lead
in radar which enabled the Raj to defeat the Luftwafe
in 1910 and 1941 and thereby win the Battle of Britain
In the great battles in the Pacific during World War H.
1t was the lack of information the enemy fleet and
enemy planes which usually both the Americans and
Japanese major disasters the long period of warfare
the Pacific.
And, 1t was the possession of good radar search
equipment in the U. S. fleet which enabled the Navy to
gain the upper hand the japanese fleet in the Pac
fic in 1912 and 194S.
The flying radar stations will have wide use in any
new conflict and the that they are already in pro-
duction is encouraging.
Somehow pretty girls are more interesting than he
girls.
World prosperity would do lot toward establish
ing world peace.
Few people possess the intelligence to understand

Talks With Tenants
Delay Construction
At Temple Heights

Construction of multimillion
dollar office building at Temple
Heights is being delayed pend
ing negotiations with prospective
tenants, one of the builders said
today.
Most other details of the big
project to Connecticut and Flor
ida avenues N. w. have been
worked out, according to Julius
Guedalia, an official of the
Charles H. TompkinS Co.
The development is being I'M
dertaken jointly by the Tomp-
kins firm and Cafritz Construc-
ton Co.
III answer to an inquiry Mr..
Guedalia said commercial as
poets of the development are the
key to the whole project. He
explained that exact needs and
requirements of prospective ten
ants must be determined before
proceeding.
MIR. Guedalia said grading of
the 712-acre site is about COM
pleted, but few other problems,
such as street connections, re-
main to be settled.
Under plans announced last
November, the company proposed
to build a "park-at-your-d esk"
office structure similar in basic
design to the Cafritz Building at
1925 I street NV. It also has
considered a hotel and other
types Of structures.
Temple Heights is among the
historic sites of Washington. On
it once stood a fine old mansion
and beside it, the Treaty Oak.
According to legend, the Indians
and white men once signed a
treaty under the tree. Some his

Arnold Line Estimates
Loss Of S17,661 if
Fare Rise Is Denied

An accountant for the Arnold
bus line testified at an Interst a tie
Commerce Commission rate
hearing today that the company
would lose $17,66l for the year
ending next February unless a
requested rate increase is
granted. The line runs between
Washington and nearby VT-
9inia.
T. Roy Grubbs. Richmond ac-
countant, based his estimate on
revenues and expenses for March
and April, 1858. His deficit fore
cast takes into account a pay
increase effective November %.
Cites Threefold Effect.
If the fare increase is granted.
Mr.. Grubbs testified the COM
pany will earn an additional
$201 ,44O. This will enable the
firm to pay the wage increase,
lease 10 new buses. and have a
profit of $64,296.
However. Mr.. Grubbs said,
these totals do not take into
account higher gasoline prices
and the re-opening of three sta
tons, both of which went into
effect after the March-April,
1858. period.
The busline, known officially
as the Washington, Virginia &
Maryland Coach Co., is propos-
ing an increase to include the
breaking down of the present
20-cent zone into two zones, one
20 cents and one Is, and scent
cash increases in its other four
zones.
Tokens would reduce the cost
of any ride out of the first zone
by 212 cents.
Burden on NOn-Federal Group.
According to the company's
mathematics. most of the our
den of the increased fares would
fall on passengers riding across
the Potomac but not going to or
from Federal buildings such as
the Pentagon.
Riders to the Federal inStalla-
tions would be charged 20 cents
cash or 17l2 cents per ride on
a ticket basis.
The six present Virginia zones
would be divided into 10. The
single zone fare would remain
10 cents and the six-zone fare
would remain IS cents. Fares
would be higher than at present,
however, because each zone
would be smaller.
Other witnesses in today's
hearing in the ICC Building here
included Bernard Wahle, execu-
tive vice president. and Richard
C. Bennett, controller Of the
company.

in Tractate Sanhedrin, seems to
trace the term to an Aramaic
term ''hefker" which means free
dom" in the sense of '1awlesS-
ness" or. the lack of ownership or
authority. An object is considered
'Hefker" in the Talmudic law
when it has no one who exertS
authority over it. Thus, an indi-
vidual who doesn't recognize the
authority of CD or His ownership
of the universe, could thus be
termed an "apikorus" since he be-
lieved in this type of 'lawless-
ness" or anarchy"
The first who defined this term
in relationship to the belief in
Cd, is Josephus who considers an
apikorus one who casts provid-
ence out Of human life," and
"does not believe that CD takes
care of the affairs Of the world"
but says that "the world is car
ried along Of its own accord with
out a ruler and provider."
QUESTION: How many proph.
e%s vrePe there in Israel? IF. M,
Ocala. Fla.)
ANSWER: According to the
Talmud (Tractate Megillah, 14a)
there were 48 prophets in Israel.
the same source mentions the fact
that there were seven women who
were each considered a proph-
etesS.
QUESTION: What is the deri-
walton of the term prophet?
| IA. H.. Gainesville. Fla.(
| ANSWER: The term prophet as
we use it today is considered as
having it's origin in a combination
of two Greek terms-"pro" mean
ing before and "phets" speaker
which comes from the verb
"phanai," to speak. The combina-
ton thus implies one who speaks
before, or ahead" of his time.
