Heinl Radio News Service 7/3/46 Following in the footsteps of Mrs. Roosevelt, Elliott and Fay Emerson Roosevelt, James Roosevelt is reported to be the next member of the family to go into radio. Having engaged in the insurance business, then the motion picture industry, Jimmy, according to reports from Hollywood, will soon make his bow as a news commentator. A special plane chartered by Philco to carry 21 radar field engineers for the Army Air Foroes on the first lap of an overseas assignment took off recently from Philadelphia. This group of field service engineers includes the first contingent of several hundred who are being trained by Philco in the installa¬ tion, operation and maintenance of all types of military airborne and ground radar equipment. Dr. David S. Sason has joined the Research Staff of Philips Laboratories, Inc. as an associate physicist and is in charge of the Section on Theoretical Physics, At present he is working on the theory of the stability of high energy particle accelerators such as the synchrotron and frequency modulated cyclo¬ tron. During the war, Dr. Saxon was a member of the theoretical staff of the Radiation Laboratory at M. I. T. , where research on microwave radar was carried out under the auspices of the National Defense Research Committee. While basic research in electronics will be carried on in the Research Laboratory, products in this field will be developed by the Electronics Department of the General Electric Company. A typical result of recent studies is the newly announced electronic navigator, which evolved from the concentrated research on military radar. With it, commercial vessels can detect through darkness, fog or storm the position of above-water objects such as icebergs, other ships, and land. As a navigational aid in aviation, it warns plane pilots of unseen hazards. For the manufacture of tubes, the land, buildings, and equipment used by the KenRad Tube and Lamp Corporation, Owensboro, Ky. , in its radio tube manufacturing business were purchased by the General Electric Company during 1945, and leases which KenRad had on plants at Bowling Green, Ky. , and Tell City and Huntingburg, Ind. , were taken over by G. E. On October 12, 1929, the radiotelephone station of the I. T. & T. Argentine associate in Buenos Aires inaugurated radio¬ telephone service between South America and Europe. The program of making it possible for the peonies of South America to talk with each other, inaugurated by the I. T. & T, in 1928, has progressed today to the point where over 90 oeroent of the telephones of South America are interconnected and also connected with those of most of the rest of the world. xxxxxxxxxx 16
