Radar Suitable For Commercial Planes Wright Feild, search radar, revealed today by the Army Air Material Command, Brings commercial and private planes one step nearer to the practical use of this plujied safe-flying device.

The Army will know the new development as the It is only a little heavier and slightly more complex than a home radio, Army officials state. Since it is operated by only five controls, it represents a great improvement over the 500-pound, 34 control radar employed by the Army during the war. The new radar, designed to remove the hazard of flying in darkness or fog, with its cathode tube, 60-degree scan, and reflections from objects in proportion to their position and degree of reflectivity, gives accurate fluorescent pictures of cities, rivers and terrain. THE DRIVER WALKED AWAY Lucky man is Garland Stewart, of Blue Island, 111. Ho was driving his car in Chicago when, as pictured above, a huge truck trailer toppled over on Old Locomotives Find Way To Scrap Heaps Youngstown, has been a long time since big steel plants have been finding parts of old locomotives in their scrap piles to be fed into the open hearth furnaces to make new the locomotive parts are back again.

About 23 old steam locomotives, which had served as railroad and industrial plant switchers for 35 to 50 years, have just been rounded up by a local scrap Consolidated Steel Company, and now being cut into scrap. During the war, old locomotives were saved from the scrap heap. They were needed to haul freight trains or switch cars so long as they would hang together they were used. But now more Diesel-electric locomotives are coming and scrapping of the old engines has been resumed, especially because of the current heavy demand for scrap and the acute shortages of it. 100-Ton Average Samuel Gluck, head of the steel firm, said each of the engines yields about 100 tons of the best quality scrap worth about $2,000, although each cost $50,000 to $100,000 new to 50 years ago.

Some of the locomotives are being scrapped by the Carnegie- Illinois Steel or a i Youngstown works, which recently got a fleet of new Diesel- electrics. Others are coming from places as far distant as Louisiana. The mills are finding the Diesel- electrics more efficient and more economical. also helping to cut down smoke in the smoke campaigns. While some market could be found in foreign countries for these engines, the steel plants need them as scrap to make new automobiles, new refrigerators, washers, and innumerous other things needed for the civilian production.

Some of the accessories, such as bells and headlights, are finding a ready market among antique collectors. One collector already has Bargains yon on Classified Page.

An industrial executive bought one of the headlights to mount at his big estate. bell makers took real pride in the bells they turned out when these locomotives were said Mr.

Gluck. "So did the railroads which bought Serious Shortage Currently steel plants are as hard up for scrap as they were during the worst stages of the war the shortage is threatening to force some shutdowns of steel furnaces soon. Ordinarily the mills build scrap piles at this season of the year because they produce it ar.d process it so readily during the winter months now having trouble getting enough even for current Normally the mills use a ratio of aboul 50 per cgnt or nev; hot metal from the blast furnaces, and 50 per cent scrap in the mixtures which go into the open hearth to come out as new although the ratios may vary from 25-75 to 75-25, depending on the type of steel wanted, and the market prices of scrap and iron. During the coal strike last spring, many blast furnaces were forced to shut down for lack of coke Eager to keep steel furnaces going, the executives increased the ratio of scrap to a very high percentage nearly exhausted their scrap supplies. Mills here normally use millions of tons of it yearly in making 9.000,000 to 10.000,000 tons of steel.

Prices In Doubt Mr. Gluck thinks the scrap situation here is pretty tough now and will get worse this fall and winter if the Office of Price Administration holds off much longer in either announcing an increase in scrap prices or making a public statement that scran prices will not be boosted Much of the scran comes from collectors and small dealers who THE ESCANABA (MICH.)
