Army Develops '2-Way Pigeon FT. MONMOUTH, N. J, July 25

(U.P.).—The Army Signal Corps

disclosed today that it had perfected a means of communication no blitzkrieg could jam or disrupt

For centuries, the Pigeon Communication Division of the Signal corps said, military commanders from Alexander the Great to the present have dreamed of a pigeon | that would not only carry a mes- | sage, but bring back an answer. After 61 days of scientific experiment between a secret loft here and a “war front” 12 miles away, the Signal Corps feels that | it has succeeded where Alexander | failed. Flying at 60 miles an hour the Signal Corps’ pigeons carried messages to the front and brought back replies. Radio is all right, the Signal Corps admitted, but it can be jammed and the enemy can listen in, whereas “our pigeons are silent and 96 per cent of them will get through.”
