(Associated Press Science Writer WASHINGTON, Allied ability to give an "electronic raspberry" to the axis--with al the gusto of a Bronx cheer--helped clear the road to victory The "electronic raspberry" is a nickname for the art of jamming an enemy radar set by cluttering its beam with radio interference This results in a confusion of patterns on the radar scope so that any targets are obliterated It is one of the techniques disclosed Wednesday night in another great science story of the war--an American military and scientific report on the vital role played by "radar counter measures' in the defeat of Germany and Japan. File Joint Report The aimed forces and the office of scientific research and development credit radar countermeasures with blinding and confusing the enemy's radar "eyes" at crucial points in the war, including D-Day Europe They said the various techniques reduced by 75 per cent the effectiveness of German radar-controlled anti-aircraft fire and Jtelped knock out many a Jap radar during the American advance across the Pacific.

And they declared that while the enemy tried the same tactics against us, they did it effectively on only a few occasions "It can be said," a joint report declared, "that we had radar and got the most out of it, the axis also had radar, but because of our counter measures got very little out of it" The story unfolded by the Amer- County Still Is 1 Behind in Sales East End, However, Above State Average West Pottawattamie county was still far below the state average in senes bond sales Tuesday with total sales reaching the 32 per cent mark placing the area 2 per cent aelow the state's 54 per cent average West Pottawattamie's total sales to Tuesday was 55, which is fraction less than 32 per cent of the $852,000 quota, plac- emg the county in 92nd place with other Iowa counties Another national firm allocating purchases toward the county's )verall quota Monday was Montgomery Ward and company, ias pledged $20,000.

Most of the larger firms belong to the Midwest Truck association which was not represented in the Chicago agreement between the Central Drivers council, representing 300 AFL un- on and the Central States Area Operators association. Meanwhile, it was announced in Washington that President Truman planned to meet with epresentatives from midwest states to the continuing strike.

Eisenhower in a report released here Thursday criticized the French government for hampering the allied control council and urged early establishment of central German administrative machinery Summarizing the situation in Germany in October, before he left to become chief of staff of the United States army, Eisenhower cited the potential dangers of utirest and disease this winter He declared, however, there was "no immediate emergency in the American and British zones as long as current rations can be maintained The release followed by.

On a number of other important matters, progress was made during the month A proposed law to authorize and encourage a federation of German trade unions on a national basis could not be adopted on account of French opposition Stating the United States had no intentom of "taking any active steps to raise Germany above the economic level required by hu- Eisenhower declared that German industry must be raised above the 5 to 7 per cent of capacity at which it is now operating and that food must be imported without thought of payment "It is important to note that the revival of German agriculture, industry and trade which is being encouraged by the military ernment and the organization of machinery to take responsibility for the he said, "are necessary to avoid expense to the American treasury Sart Waste Paper Plans Increase in the Less Expensive Furniture Ljnes WASHINGTON, OPA Thursday announced a designed to increase production of relatively low and medium-priced furniture Scheduled to go into effect early next year, the program provides for manufacturers price increases ranging from 4 to 20 per cent for roughly two-thirds of various of home furniture each firm produced dunng March, 1942. There has been no decision yet Whether the public will have to pay more It all depends, said an OPA statement, on the Outcome of conferences to determine how much of the manufacturers' increase, if any, can be absorbed by wholesalers and retailers If cost absorption is required, dealers' mark-ups would be trimmed, but not to an extent that would profits below prewar evela 'Whether or not complete ob- sorption is required," OPA said, 'consumer should benefit greatly the program, since it will bring back to the market the low and medium-priced furniture that largely disappeared during the war" Only a substantial increase in manufacturers' pnces will bring back Use less expensive lines, OPA Mid, provide "decoys' against the pry 1 ing radar eyes of the foe Reflects Radar Beams The stnps reflect radar beams even as does an airplane or a ship and on the radar scope the reflection patterns of the "decoys' serve to screen the reflection of the actual target single plane can carry sufficient aluminum stnps to give 'echoes" comparable to those given by a fleet of 700 bomben Behind the veihjpg screen of "chaff a single vessel can take on the appearance of a task force', a single airplane can take on the stature of a. mighty armada In this connection the war department provided an answer to a long-unanswered 64-dollar question of the war Where was the luftvvaffe on the night of June 5 1944--the eve of D-Day'" Much of the luftwaffe it seems was literally chasing aluminum foil through the French ozone Goenng's men thought they were hell-bent after a major airborne invasion force, but they actually were "mQuse trapped' by a diver sionary force of 300 planes which tossed out aluminum foil to make themselves appear be a huge fleet Diversionary feints by "chaff-disguised as naval vessels--plus a gigantic electronic jamming bar rage against nazi radars on the French coast added further to the troubles of the ground and air defenders Thus, the mam airborne landing on the Cherbourg peninsula was accomplished with little opposition Final Reports on Prive Tonight Will Be Carried on by Volunteers The final report meeting of the Community Victory Chest and war fund compaign to be held in the Hotel Chieftain at 7 30 Thursday will bring from the most complete and thorough campaign ever made by the Community Chest," L.
