It was decided not to make
the casualty reports" public,
since they would not be au-
thoritative in view of insuffi-
cient knowledge Of what a real
attack would produce.
After Civil Defense has test
ed its ability to cope with the
disaster for three days, more
than 5000 Government officials
will report for mock "emer-
gency" duty in 80 safe reloca-
ton centers in half a dozen
States. They will remain at
their posts until noon next Fri
day.
Build up for Operation Alert
has been in progress for a
month. Skeleton crews have
been dispatched to relocation
centers to prepare the way
should the worst come.
Emergency Controls Set
The President has issued an
imaginary proclamation - as
enemy planes wing toward the
United States-declaring an
unlimited state of national
emergency and threat Of in
vasion." and setting up a home
front war agency called office
Of Emergency Resources.
In its first steps the agency
put into effect emergency con-
trolls covering rationing, wages,
prices and manpower-all nee
essary to keep a staggering
nation alive.
The Civil Defense command
post phase will continue for
SIS hours. until Z pm. Sunday.
During that time the District
CD Office, assuming the attack
would be too great to make its
own facilities useful. will move
into the regional office at Olney,
Md. after the first warning
signals. About 40 workers will
be on duty during the emer-
gency period.
In Montgomery County
teams will conduct control and
communications exercises at
the Rockville headquarters.
Pre-attack fire notifications
will be conducted by Fire De-
partments. A casualty clear

Gaithersburg.
White House Role Limited
The White House emphasized
that presidential participation
in Operation Alert will be
limited to a test Of transporta-

The new CURTISS-WRIGHT
ZHZz2H%R JET ENGINE,

Air transportation must become quiet not only
for its passengers but for the communities in which
it operates. The development of the Curtiss- Wright
Zephyr Turbojet was based on the premises: | :
that its technical excellence must provide worth
while performance improvement; 2 - that its adj
vances must be sound in the final analysis from the
economic point of view, and; = that it must have
high order of public acceptance not only from the
viewpoint OF the passenger, but the communities in
which the airport is located and over which the air
plane is operated. Moving airpors further out Of
town with its attendant expense and the inconven-
fence OF time lost in additional city to airport trans
portation is not the answer
Curtiss- Wright Corporation has completed sufi-
Gent testing with the Zephyr to warrant the state
ment that the jet engine transport can be quiet and
have high order Of public acceptance.
New Testing Procedure
The testing procedure for the Zephyr is new and
novel. Curtiss-Wright discarded the standard let
engine test cell = mass of concrete, steel, sound
absorption, water silencing, etc. and transferred
the testing Of the Zephyr to an open air test stand
in which the engine is run with no silencinp or
sound absorption equipment under specification
calling for minimum of noise, as well as mini
mum of fuel consumption, just as the engine would
run when il is in an airplane at the airport
This outdoor testing equipment consists of two
mobile vehicles; one on which the engine is
mounted for tests; the other housing the control
room and Instrumentation required to measure

Objectionable to some people than the jet noise
which is OF lower frequency. Curtiss- Wright has
also reduced the jet exhaust noise to acceptable
levels because basically the engine is designed so
that the mass of air passing through the jet to pro-
duce thrust is moving at lower speed than that
common to engines developed for military use at
superSonic speeds For the foreseeable future air
lines will fly substantially and, therefore, there is no
need for using supersonic speed jet engines, with
their disadvantages, for jet airline operation.
Broad Research Program
Engine noise suppression, while the major ele-
ment, is only one phase Of the Curtiss-Wricht pro-
gram to lower noise levels for aircraft and arpor
communities. The mobile control room used in the
Zephyr tests is lined with Curon, pew sound alb
sorbIng multi-cellular, foamed material developed
by Curtiss-Wright. This enables engineers to con-
duct concurrent tests Of new methods of sound
PROBING aircraft passenger cabins. The same Curon
can play an important role in absorbing ground
noise at arports where Jet and other aircraft are
operated. For example, curtain of Curon hung
between runways and buildings will substantially
reduce noise at the building And Curon. in the
form OF wall tiles, ceiling and floor coverings can
rther absorb sound and result in quieter air ter
minals and Offices than ever before
These are but few of the technolopical devel.
opments OF the Curtiss-Wright Corporation de-
signed to make the introduction of let airliners 70

economically sound. Others will follow.

thrust, fuel consumption and other equipment
Through the use of these mobile vehicles the
Zephyr is constantly being tested and demonstrated
at airports and at off-hghway locations to record
and analyze its noise levels under idling, taxing
and full throttle conditions This practical method
OF testing enables engineers and technicians to
change new noise suppressing devices being devel-
oped and other equipment quickly and with ease
The engine may be held at given set of condi-
tons so that techncians and observers can listen to-
record and analyze noise levels for extended pc
RODS OF time, and, while they are doing this, engine
operating conditions can be changed instantly for
purposes of demonstration This method is prefer
able to listening to an airplane passing overhead
where the noise is reduced or mufHed, where the
time for measuring and recording the volume of
noise is limited and where it is difficult to fix the
distances and conditions with any degree Of
accuracy.
Curtiss-Wright plans to demonstrate the mobile
testing unit and the Zephyr engine at airports and
other locations in the US. A request has been re-
ceived to demonstrate the unit at major airport
in Europe.

program in the six years that they

Quoted by the Heart Association.
Because of the limited facilities
of the camp site, the Heart Fund
could only accommodate twenty
one of our states heart victims.
DR.. Robert L. Devices, chairman
of the Cardiac Camp Committee
of the Heart Association, said:
1--WE nope that next year the
Heart Fund can provide sufficient
space, with capable staff, to ac-
commodate all who are limited in
their activity because of cardiac
vascular involvement and are be-
tween the ages of eight and four
teen. Most of these children, be-
cause of some cardiac involve
ment, such as the murmurs that
follow rheumatic heart disease,
are not accepted at most regular
summer camps. This special camp
ing program run by the Heart
Fund, enables them to get all the
benefits of camping experience
without endangering their hearts
We want them to grow up with
the philosophy that they can en-
joy most of the pleasures of life
if they follow the precepts of not
over tiring their weakened hearts
and if they follow the advice Of
their physician" This year the

program at the Smyrna schools
which were assumed a few years

for needy children. 1t was point
ed out at the first meeting of the
committee, held Monday night at
the home of the president, Nelson
S. Everhart, that if the PTA fed
twenty children each school day
for whole year the cost would
be over $1,000. 1t was decided
to hold benefit bake and food
sale for this worthy project on
Friday and Saturday, Sept. 1914,
with Friday hours of A to 8 pm.
and saturday from 1O am. on.
The bake viii be held in the vac
