Congress got into the Flag business so of i . Settles claim for camouflage. Washington up the de sense department settled out of court for $340,000 the claim of Otto Al pern University of California physicist who invented radar camouflage materials used in world War ii. The award to the ,60-year-old scientist will be paid from the Navy and air Force funds. Halpern was at new York University when he invented the material. Because of the secrecy surround ing his invention Halpern was never Able to get a Patent. But he brought his suit against the government in 1952, and had won the right to have his Case hear behind closed doors. Gratitude expressed defense Secretary Neil h. My Filroy in announcing the Settle ment released copies of a letter to Halpern expressing the department s gratitude and Admira Tion for his outstanding contribution to the defense of the United Mcelroy said in the letter that substantial quantities of Halpern i material still Are being produced for defense purposes. The invention was based on mathematical formula that made possible manufacture of a thin material probably of rubber with metallic particles that would absorb rather than reflect radar Waves. Theoretically a plane completely covered with the material would not be detected by radar. In prac Tice it is usually feasible to cover Only parts of the plane and the camouflage is effective Only against certain common radar wave lengths. Long ago nobody remembers when. The original idea was to award some worthy group the tattered remains of the big 8-by-12 flags that Fly Vrain or Shine and 24hours daily from the East and West fronts of the Capitol. But these did t Wear out fast enough to meet the demand. So along about 1937 some Bright member just bought a new Flag an took it to the people in charge.
