Army Announces
4World Spanner’
Short Wave
WASHINGTON, (Jfl—The Army
announced today it hes developed
a new short wave radio trans
mitter that can beam messages to
“any spot on earth.”
Called the “world spanner,” the
transmitter was designed for use
in the Army’s world-wide com
munication network. The Army
said the transmitter is “almost 50
times mort effective than the
loudest commercial broadcasting
station.”
The Army said the set owes its
tremendous power to single side
an effective power of 24 million
watts for the transmitter.
The transmitter can be housed
in e room 50 feet square. The Ar
my said maintenance has been
simplified in the design. One man,
for instance, can replace the main
150-pound tube in a little more
time than he could replace a small
tube in an ordinary radio,
band design. The Army claimed

Parties
Queen Elizabeth
By PIERRE LEGRO
PARIS, (B—France’s highest so
ciety used the Venus de Milo’s
pedestal for a cocktail table and
ancient Greek vases for cigaret
butts at the party Wednesday
night for Queen Elizabeth.
Prince Philip, the Queen’s hus
band, smoking a big Havana ci
j gar, came dangerously close to
Raphael’s painting of St. Michael.
It all happened at a gala dinner
and reception' given by Premier
Guy Mollet and his Cabinet for
the visiting Queen at the Louvre
museum. The party lasted into
the early hours yesterday.
More than 3,000 guests swarmed
around the Queen in efforts to
get a close look at her.
The museum’s centuries-old
statues and paintings probably
never witnessed such a celebra
tion. The museum keepers and
guards certainly were never so
nervous as the guests lit cigarets
while waiting for the Queen to
come out of the diningroom.
“Can you imagine that!” said
one veteran on the staff. “I have
never seen anybody smoke inside
the museum before. Let’s hope
they won’t start a fire.”
The smokers were in good com
pany. Philip left the diningroom
: with his cigar burning. French
[ President Rene Coty had one go
ing, too.
The royal procession after coffee
set off a rush that reserted the
buffet. Tail-coated men helped
ladies in bouffant skirts onto
5,000-year-old statues to have a
better look at the sovereign.
The crush almost smothered the
Queen, but her smile never wa
vered. Elizabeth missed the Venus
and most of the masterpieces for
which the Louvre is famous. It
was just as well. Three museum
attendants took turns removing
the guests’ empty glasses from
the armless Greek lady’s base,
then finally gave up.

* Wire Rope
Men and equipment need
the increased protection
of Broderick and Bascom preformed
Yellow Strand wire rope. Tough, drawn-to-order steel wires
provide the starting point for Yellow Strand’s endurance. Pre
forming then adds greater flexibility and efficiency. This process
neutralizes stiffness and internal stresses and results in a
limber rope that resists kinking and whipping, runs and spools
smoothly and is safer to handle. Ideal for construction, logging
and all uses where wire rope is needed.
