Even the most casual onlooker... seeing thousands of gallons of water pouring from a dam... realizes that here is an outgo with an income — an income measured in terms of power produced.
The same thing is true of Sellevision. That, you know, is what we call the foresight and long-range thinking which prompted the comprehensive, state-wide audience promotion campaign we've been conducting in Minnesota for the past four years.
Sellevision is costing us a lot of money. But here, too, is an outgo with an income! At KSTP, we don't measure power in watts.. .though we have 50,000 of them... we measure power
in audience acceptance. That's the kind of power Sellevision is
producing for us.
Yes, Sellevision is an outgo with an income, all right . . . and our income is growing greater every day! Remember this when you're choosing a radio station to sell Minnesota's major market.

JOE HAINLINE, NBC foreign correspondent, returned from the Pacific acclaiming the technical radio facilities throughout the area.
He said the U. S. S. Iowa carried a T. D. H. Cullins 3000 w transmitter so powerful that often commentators could broadcast direct to San Francisco from 100 miles off Tokyo instead of relaying first to Guam.
• Mr. Hainline, who had been discharged from the Army in January 1945, when a gun went off in his face, affecting his ear drums, met his original Army outfit as they embarked at the dock in Tokyo. He had beat them by three weeks. Now that he has returned to the States he expects to work at WTAM Cleveland for six weeks and then join the newstaff of WRC Washington.
* * * KTTJL Old Home Week IT WAS LIKE old home week at KTUL Tulsa when the station received transcriptions made by three ex-announcers now in service. Glenn Condon, KTUL news chief, cabled Sgt. Jack Morris of the AAF at Natal, S/Sgt. Eddie Neibling on Iwo Jima, and Marine Cpl. Eddie Lyons on Okinawa, asking each for a recording. They were played on Oklahoma Salutes program.
Each man reminisced about Tulsa, and described his surroundings in the far-off posts. There were also featured voices of other Tulsans in the area. After flying 100 miles to Recife, Brazil, for recording equipment, Sgt. Morris got unexpected leave and arrived in Tulsa with the recording. He's now on terminal leave, working at KTUL.

Radar Set Revealed WAR DEPT. is now telling the story of the SCR-584, a highly improved radar set tried for the first time at Anzio, with outstandingly good results. The radar set not only searched out its target, but also tracked it down, and with the aid of proximity fuze projectiles, brought the Nazi planes to destruction. The SCR-584 is installed in a truck trailer which contains all the components but the power.
CHECKING SCRIPT for a show to go on WVTC Biak, of the AFRS Far Eastern Network, are (1 to r) : Pfc. Bertha Perkins; T/5 Ray Burke, former announcer with WDOD Chattanooga and WNOX Knoxville; and Sgt. Hallie Phillips, from WPTF Raleigh. All are stationed at the AFRS outlet in Netherlands West Indies.
Using a narrow band, approximately 20 degrees, the set can scan the sky completely in about one minute. The set was used for ground work, too, often detecting enemy patrols in the dark. It was used in many operations following its success at Anzio.
