First SOS From An American
Ship Was Sent so Years Ago

In 1906 Arnson approved the hir-
ing Of an office boy at So a week.
That boy was David Sarnoff, today
chairman of the board of the Radio
Corp. of America.
In 1922 Arnson founded his own
.electronics manufacturing COM
pany on a 81, 1000 shoestring. Today,
as president of Radio Receptor
Co., Inc, he has 1,500 employees
in his Brooklyn plant and does an
1s-million-dollar-a-year business.
"But maybe the next so years
will be even more interesting than
the past So" says Arnson, smiling.
Looking into the near future he
foresees electronlcs doing these
things:
For wrist watch wearers-per-
feet time and no more winding.
Your watch viii be kept wound by
signals from central station to
which it viii be tuned.
For secretarieS-no more dicta-
ton from the boss. He'll be able
to talk into a machine which will
not even type his immortal words.
They'll come out in printed pages.
So the boss will have to perfect
his English.
For file clerkS-no more bulky
files. When you want to know
something you'll press a button of
a memory-deyice machine and the
machine viii tell you all about it.
For the whole colntry-no more
fire alarm systems. Through q
central electronic scope a watcher
will be able to see a fire starting
anywhere within his range. He'll
be able to pinpoint right down to
your backyard.
Yes" says Arnson, ''it viii be a
wonderful, exciting world"
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1953-12-07
BY CHARLES MERCER

NEW YORK R-The man who
sent the first SOS from an Ameri--
can ship just 50 years ago today
isn't looking backward He's look
ing ahead to a bright new day
when electronics will run your
life.
He is Ludwig Arnson, a young
man Of 70 who is fit as a fiddle
and tuned TO the great things he
sees coming to American life
soon.
But he comedies:
Il don't see why anybody would
have wanted to live in any time
except these past so wonderful
years"
Fifty years ago today the Ameri-
bound from Antwerp to New York
with $50 passengers hit a terrific
westerly gale off the Irish coast
which smashed her rudder. In vain
the crew tried to rig a jury rudder
in the pounding seas. The Kroon-
land wallowed helplessly. Then the
skipper ordered his young wireless
operator, Ludwig Arnson, to send
out the distress signal-known then
as a COD.
The British cruiser Kent picked
up Arnson's signal IS miles away,
took her under tow and brought
her into Cobb. So Arnson made
American maritime history.
A New York youth who'd seen a
request for wireless operators on a
bulletin board at Columbia Uni
versity, he made several other
voyages before coming ashore. On
land he worked for the Marconi
Wireless Telegraph Co. of America
from New York to Alaska.

FEATURE FICTION

TNHEY LIVED in what the advertisement had
i described as an artistic apartment
Bran always referred to it as walk down."
Lorna was delighted with it.
If you happened to be passing recon-
structed New York brownstone house between
Lexington and Third Avenue at night, and if
the shades weren't drawn, looking down you
had glimpse of the living room, lighted by
lamp with square shade of plated straw
which gave out pleasant sunny glow.
You saw chairs upholstered in golden brown,
an olive green bookcase, painted by Lorna
and well-stocked with books. Some modern
light maple furniture. A small buffet of
English walnut, decorated with Wedgwood
salad bowl wedding present) displayed few
pieces of good crystal.
Four steps led down to tiny forecourt and
a blue door with bright brass fittings. Two
sky-blue windowboxes were filled with gera-
NUNS. Bran had always suspected that the
blue door stood for ten dollars month on the
rent The boxes Lorna had decorated.
But sense of happy contentment crept
over him when he halted at the top of the
steps that evening and surveyed this little
home - his and Lorna's.
HE HAD his key ready, but Lorna had heard
his footsteps The blue door opened as if by
magic.
'Darlingp' she cried, as she broke away
from his arms. Il bought lamp, second
hand. It cost twenty dollars
Bran stifed Toan. He adored his pretty
wife. She was gay companion and practi-
cal housekeeper: but two months of marriage
had proved her to be. also, a fanatical interior
decorator.
Our budgets getting low, honey"
Il know, Bran. But l simply couldn't
stand for the flying saucer any longer"
The flying saucer was standard ceiling
fixture - a dull glass bowl - supplied by the
landlord in the entrance foyer of their apart
ment, and Lorna hated it.
'Oh, Bram," she said, clinging to him.
You've never regretted what we did?"
Bran grabbed her, held her hard.
Evening star., 1953-04-26

But there tUGS tender point about their
finances. At the time Lorna came along and
changed all his way of life, Bran had saved
up two thousand dollars and had planned to
put it into the publishing business where he
was promising junior editor. This would
have meant postponing their marriage for at
least year, and Bran hadn't hesitated for a
moment. He had chosen Lorna, and the two
thousand had gone to set them up in their
little apartment.
Don't be cross with me, darling" Lorna
drew back, turned his gaze. "Lookr'
Bran looked.
An Arab brass lamp with panels of colored
glass hung where the flying saucer had been.
HE effect was remarkable. Their nine-foot
square foyer, walls and ceiling bathed in sub
dued colored rays, resembled the end of a
rainbow. An enlarged snap of Bran in uni
form on camel in front of the Sphinx had
taken on the violet hue of an Egyptian after
glow The coffee table was bathed in mysteri-
Gus golden light The long, narrow settee
lurked in deep blue shadows.
Lorna was explaining eagerly: Il had
Stobell fix it, Bran. knew you'd be tired
when you got home. and superintendents are
used to fixing lights. Don't you think it scute?"
Certainly is. Marvellous
II couldn't clean all the glass properly,
because that brass knob at the bottom doesn't
come off. did the best could with long
handle brush from the top. But there's lot
of wires in there, and was afraid might
unstick something"
Lorna was standing right under the lamp,
pointing up.
Bran caught his breath, shut his eyes,
looked again, and then: Lorna =" he spoke
quietly - come over here, honey. want to
find out if you see what I've seen"
''What?" Lorna was anxious. as some
thing wrong?"
Nothing to worry about. Just come over
