MARGARET TRUMAN AGAIN TALKED OF AS RADIO POSSIBILITY
There is again talk that Miss Margaret Truman may yield to some of the numerous radio offers that have been coming to her since going into the White House.
Indicative of this is a story that as long ago as last October Miss Truman while visiting in New York went to the studio of a well known singing teacher and asked for a voice test saying her name was Miss Wallace.
The teacher was busy, and Miss Wallace waited patiently for several hours. Finally, she was admitted, sang a few songs, and Ytas told she had a "lovely voice", much talent and musicianship, On her way out, the flushed girl dropped her scores and the singing teacher noticed they were marked "Margaret Truman". The President’s daughter, on an incognito trip, had assumed her mother's family name to get a candid professional opinion on whether she could sing.
There is a report from New York that Miss Truman would appear on "The Great Moments in Music" (Cellophane) program but no confirmation of this could be secured at the White House.

NEW LIGHTWEIGHT AIRBORNE RADAR INCREASES FLIGHT SAFETY
Lightweight airborne radar equipment, employed on a sched¬ uled transport operation for the first time when a C-54 flew from We stover Field, Massachusetts, to Paris, France, recently, promises to make a considerable contribution to safety in flight, it was dis¬ closed by Headquarters, Army Air Forces.
This transAtlantic trip, supervised by the North Atlantic Wing of the Atlantic Division of Air Transport Command, marked the first extended range use of lightweight airborne radar equipment installed and utilized for the purpose of aiding an aircraft to complete successfully a scheduled flight.
The high speeds of modern airplanes have increased the importance of pilots avoiding areas of dangerous turbulence, and lightweight radar is certain to help a pilot to orient himself further to weather conditions, AAF radar officers say. The new development will aid in making flights safe in all kinds of weather.
Also, increased speed has made it even more necessary for pilots to avoid flight path hazards where other aircraft or terres¬ trial features may be encountered, and lightweight radar will act as a safeguard against a plane entering these areas.
The new equipment was designed and developed for the AAF during the war, under the direction of Dr. Lee Durbridge and his associates at the radiation laboratories of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
