Army Develops
Super Cable for
Radio and TV
NEW YORK, W—The New York
Times said Saturday the Army is
developing a “supercommunica
tions channel that greatly outper
forms the coaxial cable fo'r multi
ple TV network operations.”
In a dispatch from Fort Mon
mouth, N.J., the Times said the
new channel has reached a “high
degree of efficiency.” Quoting
Army engineers and scientists, it
added that the channel already
transmits 30 programs at one time
and “the limit still seems far
away.”
The newspaper said the new
channel is expected to be of great
est use in the ultra-high frequen
cies which may be used some day
by several thousand stations.
The superchannel is known as a
“G-line,” the Times said, and was
invented by Dr. Georg Goubau.
Unlike the coaxial cable, which
carries programs on separate
wires that make up the cable, the
G-wire carries all its programs on
one single strand.
Instead of traveling through the
wire, the waves are carried on the
outside of the G-wire. Goubau
was quoted as saying that many
programs “may be thrown in to
gether and sorted out again at
their respective destinations.”
The new channel is being devel
oped at the Coles Signal Labora
tory of the United States Signal
Corps development center here.

U.S. Tin Official Testifies His
Company Needs Another Loan
This Year to Keep Operating
As Much Tin on Seward
Peninsula as Bolivia,
U.S. Tin Official Declares
WASHINGTON—Board chair
man of U.S. Tin Corporation in
Alaska said Friday engineers be
lieve “there is as much tin in
Seward Peninsula, probably, as
there is in all of Bolivia.” Bolivia
is one of the world’s largest tin
producing areas.
The official, H. R. Fischnaller
of Seattle, made the statement at
a meeting of the Senate-House
Committee on Defense Production
which is investigating alleged ir
regularities in government loans
received by the company.
Fischnaller said that with $250,
000 in tin now being shipped, total
shipments from the Lost River
plant will approximate $550,000.
He estimated 60 million dollars
worth of tin lies in the valley
between the company mine and
the water. He said dredging oper
ations now being studied could
produce “as much as $10,000
worth of tin per day.”
Nine Cases of Polio
Reported in Seward
Since July 5
SEWARD, Iff)—Nine cases of
poliomyelitis, believed to be the
first ever diagnosed in Seward,
have been reported here since
July 5.
Six of the cases were detected
July 5 and the other three were
diagnosed in the following two
weeks. At the time the original
cases were discovered, a doctor
from Seward General Hospital
'said, influenza was widespread
and discovery of the polio infec
tion became complicated.
Children have been affected in
eight of the nine cases and all
have shown paralytic symptoms.
The doctor indicated he felt the
source of the outbreak might be
from contaminated water.
All the victims now are receiv
ing therapy from a specialist des
ignated by the National Founda
tion for Infantile Paralysis.
' WASHINGTON, W)—A U.S. Tin
Corp. official said Friday the Al
askan mining venture must get
another loan this year or, as Sen.
Capehart (R-Ind) put it, “the gov
ernment will be in the mining
business.”
The company’s need for work
ing capital was explained by H. R.
Fischnaller, of Seattle, chairman
of its board of directors, at a hear
ing by the joint Committee of De
fense Production investigating al
leged irregularities in government
loans to the company.
Committee staff members in
questioning witnesses have said
the government has loaned about
3 million dollars to the company.
Fischnaller said, however, the
total is something less than 2
million, excluding approximately
$200,000 for unsuccessful explora
tory work.
The company now wants an
additional $405,000 for use as a
revolving fund to tide it over be
tween ore shipments.
Fischnaller said the mine, at;
Lost Ricer on Alaska’s Seward
Peninsula, now is on a profitable
basis and the government’s in
vestment was a wise one.
“We have never had any idea
of milking the government,” he
told the committee in a prepared
statement. “ . . . Instead we have
always thought much more should
have been done on exploration
of our and other properties on the
Seward Peninsula.”
Under questioning by Harold
Warren, committee counsel, Fisch
naller said he has no intention
that Kenneth Kadow, recently de
posed president of U.S. Tin, shall
return to the company on a per
manent basis.
He said he has a “keen regard
for Kadow” but when asked if the
former Interior Department em
ploye hadn’t “got a lot of loans for
you,” he declared:
“None I couldn’t have gotten
myself.”
Mr. Corlaz. auditor for the U.S.
Smelting Co., arrived Friday on
his annual summer trip to Nome.
