ANTIQUES ALMANAC:

eager to pin down the history
Of ceramics.
Auction Notices
Another inquiry Of q differ
ent sort came along last week.
A woman. properly predicting
an increase in the rate OF
auction sales come spring,
asked how she will be able to
be kept informed Of upcoming
sales.
For the area around Wash
ington, this newspaper carries
regular advertisements of
sales.
In more distant areas, ad-
vance information on sales
can be obtained by writing to
the auctioneer who operates in
a particular section. Gener-
ally he will place you on his
mailing list for forthcoming
auctions. You run the risk of
becoming a fan of the auc-
tioneer's. rather than a seeker
after the antiques he sells. but
this is one of the hazards of
collecting.

By GEORGE FLYNN

There is nothing more graft
flying to a writer Of a news
paper column than reader re-
Spouse. 1t keeps him alert to
what readers want to know
about. rather than what he
thinks they should know
about.
Several weeks ago, in this
space. we outlined some ra-
Their elementary facts about
Wedgwood. We were aware, OF
course. that Wedgwood is a
popular collectors item.
However. we were totally
unprepared for the reaction.
To the many who wrote and
telephoned as a result of that
column, we can offer only
this advice:
1t is impossible for us to
ascertain the genuineneSs or
the value OF piece of Wedg-
wood at long distance, as we
have been requested to do.
Reference Sources
The Library of Congress, the
Smithsonian Institution and
the Index of American Design
IN the National Gallery of Art
all possess reference works
available to the public in this
field. Washington collectors
are fortunate in having such
sources at their disposal.
AS well. the public libraries
in the District and nearby
Maryland and Virginia carry
books on Wedgewood. which
while not so specialized as the
larger institutions, are ade-
quate to establish identity Of
pieces of Wedgwood and other
ceramics.
Those who do not wish to
carry their pieces to the
sources of research can achieve
much the same result by
making a paper tracing Of
markings on the bottom of the
piece and comparing the mark
ings with those illustrated In
books on Wedgewood. While
this practice is common among
collectors of silver, it seems
to be overlooked by persons

Army Develops
World Radio
BY the Associated Press

The Army announced today it
has developed a new short wave
radio transmitter that can beam
messages to ANY spot on EARTH"
Called the World Spanner."
the transmitter was designed for
use in the Army's worldwide
communication network. The
Army said the transmitter is "al-
most so times more effective than
the loudest commercial broad
casting station"
A spokesman said the trans
mitter will cost about 100000.
1t was developed by Signal
Corps engineering laboratories at
Fort Monmouth. N. j., and Con-
tinental Electronics. Inc, Dallas.
Tex.
The Army said the set owes its
tremendous power to single side
band design. With the single
band and a new bean antenna
now under development, the
Army claimed for the trans
mitter an effective power of "a
million watts.
The transmitter can be housed
in a room so feet square. The
Army said maintenance has been
simplified in the design. One
man, for instance, can replace
the main 150-pound tube in a
little more time than he could
replace a small tube in an or
radio.
