In its answer, March 3, 1938, the Signal Corps Laboratories declar: ed: “While employed at SCL Mr. Hershberger prepared a memoran- dum on Nov. 22, 1933, disclosing the principles of a me¥od for lo-| cating a metal ohject by means of reflected radio waves It indicates that Mr. Hershberger was cognizant of such operation as early as 1933. “Mr. Hershberger's notebook page |31, dated June 27, 1936, shows a | circuit for producing voltage im- pulses which was applied . . .

On the contrary, David Sarnoff, head of the radio corpor- ation was actually commissioned as ' a brigadier general. Can you ima- gine what would happen to an en- listed man who revealed a secret to the enemy or even fell asleep | on guard duty? He would probably be in Leavenworth yet. Mr. Sarnoft, on the other was made a brigadier general. After the war, however, certain people in the Justice Department and the Signal Corps dusted off : 'the case and started to prepare a‘ suit against RCA. i But suddenly it was called off. It was called off about the time Gen. Harry Ingles resigned as head lof the Signal Corps, March 31, 1947, in order to ake an impor- tant job with RCA.
