Its components, as the accom- panying map shows, include radar stations on land, stationary sea outposts like the "Texas Tower"' off Cape Cod, patrolling airplanes and ships, and even submarines. The vast Arctic wastes stretch- ing from Point Barrow, Alaska, clear across the continent+ to Greenland now contain a series of secret radar stations to detect the approach of possibly hostile planes - or guided missiles. Radar in Alaska Where the North American con- tinent almost meets Asia at the Bering Strait, there is a chain of stations extending from Point Barrow southward. Out in the far flung Aleutian Islands other sta- tions are being built. Radar stations also stand in northern Japan and down to the island bastion of Okinawa, keep- Sing a watchful beam trained on the coasts of China. Daily a small fleet of destroyer escort vessels and eight converted cargo ships, loaded with electron- le gear, ply northern waters be- tween Canada and Iceland and between Alaska and Japan. There are radar equipped submarines in the system, but where they op- erate is secret. Planes Patrol Skies In addition, wide ranging planes - each packed with six tons of radar equipment and a dozen scopes - patrol the skies far out from the United States and into the far north. These planes, flying at 10,000 feet, can search more than 45,000 square miles of surface and track several different groups of friend- ly and enemy aircraft simultane- ously. The Navy calls these four- engine radar planes the WV2. They could, of course, fly much higher than 10,000 feet and search far greater areas. The Navy re- cently placed a 60-million-dollar order with Lockheed Aircraft Corp., for additional WV2s. Off Cape Cod, near Boston, stands the first "Texas tower," a platform on stilts in the ocean. It likewise is a part of the radar warning line. Two more are planned to cover the area between Cape Cod and Long Island, N. Y. Besides these screens, there are " stations in the Caribbean which guard the southern approaches. The system is designed to give the United States four to five hours' warning of the approach of hostile aircraft. .With the development of guided missiles and 1,500-mile-per hour aircraft, the warning time is being cut steadily. Even so, just a few minutes warning would allow the United States to begin counter- measures. When completed, the continen- tal line alone will stretch some 4,500 to 5,000 miles across the north from the Aleutians to Greenland. U.S. ]Dialect Map Devised By Linguists Ever get into an argument over the proper way to pronounce soot" or "route"? It all depends on where you are, and the argument can be settled by referring to a linguistic atlas, a compilation of dialect maps cov- ering the entire United States now being prepared at the University. You might have to wait a while, however, for only the maps for New England have been published so far, although the materials have been collected for the Middle Atlantic States, the South Atlantic States, the North Central and the Upper Midwest States. 25 Year Study Differences in pronunciation, gramar and vocabulary have been gathered by interviewers for the' last 25 years. After a community has been selected as representative of the early settlement in a ter- ritory, an elderly individual is se- lected as representative of the community. The interviewer engages him in conversation about things ordin- ary in his everyday life. Never during the eight hours or so it takes to ask his some 550 ques- tions is there any hint at what the interviewer is really after-- the man's speech habits. "People are sensitive about their language," says Prof. Albert H. Marckwardt of the Department of English, director of the Ameri- can Dialect Study in the North Central States, which include Michigan, UseiIndirect Questioning "If you ask a man what he calls a pail, he'll say, 'I call it a pail just like everyone else' And ten minutes later he'll call it a buck- et." So, he explains, the inter- viewers stick to indirect ques- tioning. A middle-aged person in the same community is also inter- viewed. The results obtained from him are found as the second of two strange-looking wordsondthe dialect map for that area. The first is the language habit of the older person. If there is a third, it is that of a younger person. Prof. Marckwardt reports there are more dfiferences among the older persons, as the younger sub- jects tend to be more educated and cosmopolitan. Maps in Phonetic Symbols Reading one of these dialect maps may be difficult for the un- initiated layman before he learns the meanings of phonetic symbols for the words on the map are in phonetic transcription. There are separate maps for each word known to differ regionally. Such an atlas is primarily of in- terest to historians and students of language and folklore, al- though it has also been used as primary source material in com- piling a dictionary. Prof. Marckwardt believes there is more information in it than is actually used. Psychologists and English teachers would find it valuable, he thinks, research, public hearings, or other' methods. At present. the Council staff points out, Michigan's "65 and over" population totals approxi- mately 540,000. By 1970, that fig- ure will probably climb to 723,000, an increase of better than 1,000' per month. Since July 1, the Council has been housed at the University. Its executive secretary is Anthony Lenzer, Ann Arbor. Howard R. Estes of Pontiac serves as chair- man and John B. Martin, Jr. of Grand Rapids as vice-chairman. Council members include Wilma Donahue, chairman of the Univer- sity division of gerontology, Dr. John V. Fopeano of Kalamazoo, Richard C. Hedke of Trenton, The Rev. Charles M. Herbst of Ontona- gon, and Dr. Alfred Thomas Jr. and Ernest Wunsch, both of De- troit. MICHIGAN STUDY: Aging Problem Council To Hold Business Meet Michigan's Legislative Advisory Council on Problems of the Aging will hold its first business session at the University today. Financed by a grant of $12,000 from the State Legislature, the Council was created to "study and investigate the employment, eco- nomic, health education, recreation, housing, institutional care and other needs of aged persons" in Michigan. At today's meeting, the Council is expected to decide which of these problems should receive earliest consideration and how each can best be approached-through, America'"s Foremost Negro Dancer in a Colorful Recital of Primitive Rhythms sTheUniversitf SoMichigan .umier Session Presents UAW's Nunn Raps Senator DETROIT () - Sen. Barry Goldwater (R-Ariz) was accused yesterday by Guy Nunn, radio di- rector for the United Auto Work- ers Union, of "moral cowardice" in turning down an invitation to appear on a Union-sponsored broadcast before the November election, The two exchanged sharply worded letters after Goldwater said in Washington he would be too bus yto appear on any UAW program before the first of the year. Nunn had invited Goldwater to defend what Nunn said were false charges by the Senator concerning the Union's political activities.

Losh. This is the yearly show of the Perseid Meteors. Although visible for two or three weeks, they will reach their peak around August 10 and 11, with about 70 meteors an hour being visible after mid- night . with good sky conditions, Prof. Losh said. Although these streaks of light may be seen in any direction, their paths, when traced back, will ap- pear to intersect in the northeast whei'e the constellation, Perseus, will be rising around 10 p.m. This accounts for the name given to the annual display. These bits of iron and stone be- come visible only when they en- ter the Earth's atmosphere. "Com- ing in at terrific speeds," Prof. Losh continued, "they are checked and the resulting friction sets them burning." However, most of them are consumed in their plunge. Among the bright planets of interest this month will be Saturn in the southwestern sky. It will set around midnight. 4to present the official viewpoint of the student government,. The draft declaraton of rights of the student press set forth six points as essential to the function- ing of a free and responsible stu- dent press : 1) freedom from government regulations 2) freedom from university reg- ulation 3) freedom from student gov- ernment regulation 4) freedom from editorial con- trol by financial or other outside pressures. 5) freedom to express all points of view 6) free access to information. Suggest Student Press Bureau The international student press bureau was suggested for estab- lishment at Leiden, Netherlands, at the offices of the Coordinating Secretariat of National Unions of Students, the continuing adminis- trative agency of the annual Inter- national Student Conference, an assemblage of 53 National Unions of Students from all parts of the world. Its initial functions were envis- aged as issuing an international student press card, a study of the structure and functions of student press, radio, and television activity. The Student Mirror, a bi-weekly international student press service published in Berlin and circulating to about 1500 student newspapers around the world, came up for its annual review. It was started at the request of the First Interna- tional Student Press Conference. Nothing takes to the road like a Chevy! Once in a blue moon a car like this comes along-a design so advanced in performance, so beautifully bal- anced that it stands out above every other car on the highway. It has a solid, sure-footed way of going that makes driving safer and more pleasant on any road. And you feel a very special sense of security in its rapid-fire respon- siveness to your touch on the wheel, brakes and accelerator, You can see that the '56 Chevy,is a standout for style. But until you have driven one you're missing the best part of the news - the fact that Chevrolet is the smoothest, solidest, most wedded-to-the-road automobile you ever bossed. Try it and see.
