RCA TO MAKE ‘ALERTS’ HERE

New Device Designed for Defense Calls; Works on Ordinary Sets.

The Indianapolis RCA plant probably will take part in any mass] production of the new RCA “alert” radio receiver, it was reported here today. The device, which was designed for a nation-wide instantaneous call system for defense purposes, was tested for the first time publicly last week in New York by National Civilian Dezfense Director F. H. La Guardia, and will undergo extensive further tests as it goes into quantity production. J. M. Smith, RCA vice president in charge of the Indianapolis Division, 501 N. LaSalle St. declined to reveal any plans for local manufacture of the instrument.

Size of a Portable

The Aevice as demonstrated by Mayor La Guardia and David Sarnoff, RCA president, is about the size of a portable radio, but can be adapted as an attachment for standard broadcast receivers and

televisions, according to RCA engineers. i The receiver. called the modern! Paul Revere, turns on automatically | when it receives bv remote control] a special inaudible signal from any broadcasting station. The signal also rings a bell to summon listeners and then turns off when the broadcast is completed. Used for Warnings

Defense officials are studying the device with a view to its application as an air raid warning system in which the public could be immediately summoned for unscheduled broadcasts by defense officials. Peveloped in the RCA laboratories, the receiver can be fixed-tuned to any one broadcasting station. It is then receptive to the inaudible signal from the studio transmitter. The “alert” has its own speaker, which normally is silent until the special electric flash is received. Receipt of the flash energizes an electric relay which clicks the loudspeaker into the circuit to reproduce the program from the broadcasting station. Simultaneously, a bell rings, engineers explained.

Has Peace-Time Uses

If the “alert” signal is flashed at night, the bell could act as an alarm clock awaking the listener, RCA officials have pointed out possible uses of the new device in peace-time as well as during the emergency. Listeners can be called to hear unscheduled events. It could be advantageously used during earthquakes, fires, floods and storms as a warning device. Officials also see a wide use for it in police work.

Films of Property Records Sought to Insure Safety

Stacked on shelves in rooms of the Court House are more than a million sheets of paper telling the history of every square inch of real estate in Marion County | since the Indians owned it. If any of these papers should be lost or destroyed by fire, some home owner might not be able to prove his ownership in case of a legal dispute. So Chief Deputy Recorder Joseph B. Tynan has proposed that every piece of paper be reproduced on special films for safe storage. Film experts have estimated that the job can be done for between

several fireproof vault, using only a small part of the space now used for the papers. Mr. Tynan said he will appear before the County Council next Monday and ask for a bond issue to cover the cost of the project.

Pilot on Bomber Ferry Thinks Planes Could Fly From Germany.

NEW YORK, Aug. 7 (U. P).— Lieut. Col. George R. Hutchinson, who has piloted many American bombers to Great Britain, said today that invasion of the United States by German planes was “entirely possible.” If bombers can be ferried from this country to Europe, he said, bombers can be flown from Europe to this country. Hutchinson, head of Baltimore's told a luncheon meeting of the New York Rotary Club that such cities as Buffalo, Detroit, New York and Chicago were especially vulnerable because they have no adequate barrage balloon and other anti-aircraft defenses. Hundreds of Nazi bombers, crossing the Atlantic in 11 or 12 hours at altitudes of 20,000 to 25,000 feet, could drop about 10,000 troops in vital areas and pick them up again after they had done their demolition work, he said. Hutchinson said he recently flew a plane from England to Canada with 27 passengers in 13 hours and said better time could have been made. Citing La Guardia Field here as an example of the vulnerability of key points in this country, Hutchinson said 5000 or 6000 troops could easily be landed there some dark or foggy night in black parachutes, and could hold the airport until hangars and power plants along the East River could be destroyed.

COTTON GOODS SENT CHINESE
