NAVY ORGANIZING AMATEUR STATIONS Network of “Hams” Is Being Divided Into 9 Army Corps Districts. BY MARTIN CODEL. Toda_y_ on THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. D. €. WEDNESDAY., MARCH 20. 1929." the Radio PROGRAM FOR WEDNESDAY, MARCH 20, 1929. (Meters on left of call letters, kilocycles on right. AUl time p.m. unless otherwise indicated.) LOCAL STATIONS 315.6—WRC—950. (National Brondcasting Co.) | 3:00—United States Navy Band. 4:00—Pacific Vagabonds (N. B. C.). | 5:00—National Music League program (N.B.

Army racio amateurs of the 4th Corps | Area, with headquarters in Atlanta,! were at their post when the Southern | rivers rose suddenly last week and they will continue to maintain radio watches for possible emergency calls from the flood areas of Alabama, Georgia and Florida. The wire communications | situation, however, appears to be well | in hand, and thelr services have not | been in demand so far | The “hams” of the Army network did yeoman service during the Mississippl | and Vermont floods and the Florida | hurricane, of recent memory. The fact | that they are on the job again illustrates | their actual and potential value in times | of stress. It also calls attention to the | plan of reorganizating the Nation-wide | network of Army amateurs that has, just been undertaken by the War De- partment | The primary purpose of the reorgan- ization is to have a complete system of civilian amateurs disciplined to militar: efficiency and working and training liki the Army’s field network. About fifteen | hundred of the country’s eighteen thou- | sand “hams” have certificates in their | radio rooms that designate them as ! Army amateurs, which means that they | have been selected to be part of the| net because of their expert ability and their strategic location. | Work in Districts. { Under the new plan of operatim, | which went into effect March 1, each of | the nine Army Corps Areas has been districted into the States it comprises. Each State is divided into approximate- | ly five districts. Each district com- | prises a network of the Army amateurs within it. | Thus, where formerly all the Army | “hams” within the corps’ area worked | headquarters direct, they now work a district clearing station, which, in turn, | works a principal or alternate station | established in each State capital. The | State capital stations communicate di- | rectly with the corps’ area headquarters stations at Boston, New York, Balti-| more, Atlanta, Columbus, _Chicago, | Omaha, San Antonio or San Francisco, | depending upon the corps’ area that| embraces their respective States. { The key station of the whole network} is 2-CXL of the Army Signal School at Fort Monmouth, N. J. It can set up communication at a moment’s notice | with any one of the corps’ area head- | quarters stations. It is to the Army| amateur network what war, at Wash- ington, is to the Army's transconti- | nenetal network of radio stations, or | NAA, Arlington, is to the Navy's system | of radio. Drills Held Weekly. Drills are conducted every Monday | night by the amateurs in the net. Reg- | ular traffic is usually carried, and re-| ports are filed with the corps’ area sig- nal ccommand. Efficlency is the key- note, and the progress already reported indicates that the country will be ade- | quately covered by a system of wireless | communications that can be called into | play whenever and wherever & war or | Ppolice emergency may occur. The Army amateur network was in- stituted three years ago by Gen. Charles | McSaltzman, now retired, then chief | of the Army Signal Corps. Keen inter- est in the furtherance of the system has been -manifested -by- his successor, Gen. G. S. Glbbs, ever since he took office. Maj. D. M. Crawford is in ac- tive charge of the training division of the Signal Corps, under which the amateur activities come. Perhaps the most graphic illustration of the work ever done by the Army amateurs was furnished ~during the| Florida hurricane. Ralph Dana, who operated Station 4-ACF at West Palm Beach, Fla., set up radio contact direct- 1y with Washington, D. C., when all | other lines of communication were down. A young fireman who operates | a radio station as a hobby, Dana for several days handled all the messages for the stricken zone that cleared to and from the War Department and Red Cross and he assisted greatly in pediting relief measures.

By the Assoclated Press. HORSE CAVE, Ky, March 20.—The | body of Floyd Collins, who died after a, 17-day battle to save his life when he was trapped in Sand Cave in 1925, to- day again rested in its bronze and glass | casket in Crystal Cave after its theft and recovery yesterday. Dr. H. B. ‘Thomas, owner of Crystal Gave, said an investigation now under way would be pushed until the thieves were ap- | prehended. ‘The body, which Dr. Thomas says has become completely mummified since its burial in Crystal Cave, was missed carly yesterday morning. Aid of sheriffs of three counties was sought and yester- day afternoon the body was found on the banks of Green River, wrapped in a burlap sack, about 400 yards from entrance to the cave. Dr. Thomas is at a loss to account for the motive of the thieves. He says he has no doubt that they expected to return to the river bank for the remains of the mountaineer cave explorer later, 2 ‘@, 29 Major “Chain” Features TONIGHT. 8:00 — S h o wboat; “Thelma”— WOR.

CHICAGO, March 20—Practical ap- plication of radio as a means of solving | aviation's greatest difficulty — bad | weather—has been jnade by National Alr Transport with the installation of | directional and ground-to-plane re- celving sets in its planes. | Following tests of a year and a half, | planes on the Cleveland-New York divi- sion have been equippea with the ap-| paratus and installation on other divi- | sions was planned. ‘Two types of transmitters are used in | controlling the course of the plane. To | aid in keeping on a course, the pilot re- ceives equi-signal beacons whose signals are concentrated in one direction by means of loop transmitters. Deviation | from a plane’s course will change the intensity of the signals. | On a longer wave length the pilot re-! ceives hourly weather reports throu:h’; voice transmtters. h the code signals and voice are transmitt: one way from ground to plane, ot present, but National Air Transport engineers claim a device is being perfected that will permit two-way communication, R TS T 3,000,000 Miles on Road. | R.
