RADAR VERSUS ICEBERGS
BOSTON (Associated Press). —
Admiral J. F. Farley, command
ant of the U.S. Coast Guard, said
recently that super-modern elec-
tronic devices such as radar and
loran, used to sink ships in -war
time, will soon be used to help
prevent shipping disasters at sea.
Coast Guard ships, equipped with
powerful radar, he declared, would
hunt down iceberg which threat
ened trans-Atlantic shipping.
Loran— a long range navigational
beam— would make it possible for
the Coast Guard to check the ex
act location of Icebergs and ice
packs. '
