European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - November 17, 1958, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Capt Harry Peyser watches As a/3c Clarence Howard tracks plane. Constant watch at wheel us 4�t_rands across the sea has a modern Al Al application at wheelus Libya air base in the Long Rungo electronic guidance provided by the 633d aircraft control and warning so to help aircraft Span the Mediterranean. While round the clock air surveillance for defense is its major Mission the Squadron Perloni Iii a flight assistance function As Aby product of the now commonplace but still magical Powers of its radar Scopes. For tactical units rotating Between . Airbases in Europe and the Safe weapons Center at wheelus this is an important two Way Aid. In route from the continent shuttling fighters fighter bombers and interceptors May request and receive an As Sist which simplifies their landfall and arrival. Outbound they May get a similar Aidin a navigational steer or vector which speeds them on their Way. Throughout their training activities a wheelus they Are constantly under the surveillance of eyes which while unseen Are virtually All seeing in the vigilance of their sky  a mayday or emergency signal reveals another by product of the capabilities often and equipment. This is an important link in Rescue operations. In the darkened Ops room at the act site trained eyes get a fix from a radar screen and in event of a crash the scramble signal i passed to tighter interceptors on Alert. Quickly airborne two speedy jets Are vectored to the critical Point by a course determined by the scope. Here they stand byte Mark the location and report observations until Rescue aircraft  trained radar men this function is More or less routine and consequently at tracts Little notice. Yet As pointed out by it col Maurice a. Prudhomme 633d act so commander the constant vigilance of disorganization is an asset which pays off in More ways than the ultimate one of pro Viding a safeguard against hostile aircraft  this is accomplished by the Combina Tion of men radar and radio communications in the vhf and uhf ranges of the  certain criteria such As time and distance tolerances an aircraft is identified is Friendly outside and unidentifiable by radio Contact or other Means it be comes suspect. This is where air defens action starts since an unknown requires a scramble by interceptors on Alert. Prom this Point a second procedure asset in motion. While surveillance telling and plotting continue independently a control scope is used to direct the intercept. A weapons controller also known As an intercept director mans this scope from a raised portion of the dais. Working in close coordination with a intercept technician the controller sends radio commands to direct his airborne fighters now visible As blips on the scope against the Blip of the unknown  computes the course on the scope figuring such factors As relative speeds directions and wind Drift and vectors his air Craft until the Point where airborne radar takes Over and completes the intercept. Climax of the operation is an identification pass. Normally the unknown turns out to be a Friendly aircraft which had no conformed to the identification criteria but the intercepting planes Are always pre pared. Squadron intercept activities Are linked Only to aircraft on Alert but the site pro Vides separate control facilities for support personnel directing the training operations of fighter interceptors in rotational status. Another of its functions is to maintain Aswell As operate All components of equip ment which while now regarded As simple in its premise incorporates some of the most Complex circuitry in electronic engineering.

John Noonan Sixa Taf Izmir Goren on Bridge answers to Bridge quiz. 1as South you hold 4qj93 5 4kq105 �aj109your partner opens with one Spade. What is your response? diamonds not three Spades. The limits of the jump raise Are 13-16 Points and this holding is Worth 17 Points i support of Spades. Hands which Are not quite Strong enough fora jump shift response Are properly described by bidding new suit twice before raising partner. Q. 2as South you hold 4aq1q3 vkj1042 4 pkg �42 the bidding has proceeded South West North East 1 4 pass 3 4 pass7 what do you bid now? Spades. Do not bid four hearts which might be construed As a slam try your Handis Worth 16 Points and partner can have at most 16 for his jump raise. Since he must have four Trumps for his bid there is no need to look for another spot. Q. 3 As South you hold 4q10g43 v165 453 �752 the bidding has proceeded North East South West 2 ass 2 it pass3 9 pass ? what do you bid now? hearts. This bid does not indicate any strength it merely denotes Normal Trump support for the rebid heart suit. You have already denied strength by your two no Trump response. It would be completely pointless to show the Spade  could be gained by it and confusion might result. Q. 4as South you hold 4kq105 a 4a1095 �a1074 the bidding has proceeded West North East South 14 2 Dale what do you bid . A Faux Pas has been committed somewhere along the line and we would assume twas by either East or West. It is almost inconceivable that part Ner will not be Able to win eight tricks Tho Trumps May be banked against him. If West runs you Are in position to punish soundly anything he bids. Q. 5as South you hold 4kq9g3 82 akq75 a the bidding has proceeded South West North East 1 4 pass 2 it pass3 4 pass 3 4 pass 4 4 pass 5 � pass a what do you bid now  is Little doubt that Page 14 the stars and stripes a slam should be contracted for but care should be exercised in the selection of the slam con tract. Partner has shown the Ace of clubs and evidently the Ace of Spades but seems to Lack the Ace of hearts for Over four diamonds it would have been easy for him to bid four hearts holding that Ace rather than five clubs. It is a moral certainty How Ever that he holds the King of hearts and if you contract for Spade slam you Are subject to the loss of two tricks at  suggestion therefore is to contract for slam in no Trump permitting partner to play the hand and protect his King of hearts. Q. 6as South you hold 102 �83 4akq10 �qj9 the bidding has proceeded North East South West 1 pass 2 � pass2 4 pass 3 4 pass 4 � pass ? what do you bid now? clubs. You Are not in a position to make any stronger bid recalling that since partner has a Singleton Diamond your k q of diamonds May prove to reduplication of values. Q. 7 opponents Are vulnerable you Are. Not and As South you hold 4 853 kqj862 kj94the bidding has proceeded North East South west14 pass 1 1 v4dble pass ?. What do you bid now? the holding of a very Fine six card major suit the quest for game should be abandoned in favor of gathering Rose buds. The holding of three Trumps in the suit that partner has doubled makes it highly probable that West s Dummy willbe completely lacking in Trumps. A pass is therefore indicated. Q. 8as South you hold 4kj9 ak74 4732 �742 the bidding has proceeded North East South West 1 4 pass 1 9 pass1 4 pass ? what do you bid now? vote is for two Spades. This hand is not far remove from an opening bid so that a Forward step is indicated. Therein of course a slight objection to raising with Only three Trumps when partner has presumably shown  card suit but unfortunately there is soother bid available As a progressive step.
