It records the development of radio through World War I, the beginnings of the broadcasting era from 1920 to 1929, the great advances of radio and television in the 3os an dthe electronic achievements of the second world war. It also peers into the future of this prodigious NEW YORK electronics is associated with the Twentieth Century but its roots are deep in antiquity. In (1() B. C., Thales of Miletus noticed the phenomenon of frictional electricity. The Greeks, of course, had a word for it elektron which they used as a name for amber because of its sunny luster. The gap in years and knowledge, from Thales to Ben Franklin to Marconi and finally to the scientists who perfected radio and television, is a vast one. It has been spanned in chronological book form by Orrin E. Dunlap, Jr., vice piesi-deof the Radio Corporation of America and former radio editor of The New York Times. Dunlaps Radio & Television Almanac, published today by Harper & Bros., of New York, provides the most detailed and authoritative report ever compiled on the history of electronics, radio and television. Here, in 211 pages, are the men, events, inventions and dates that stand forth on the calendar of electronics. The book tells chronologically of all the firsts in the history of radio and telent fact-cramm- ed vision. Mr. Dunlap, a senior member of the Institute of Radio Engineers and the author of a dozen previous books on radio and electronics gathered his material over a twenty-eight year period. Rather than Assigned to General Pattons Third army, the group saw action through Luxembourg, Belgium, Holland, France and Germany. At the close of the war he organized LDS services at Munich, Germany. He returned to Utah in 194C. In the summer of 194S he was chosen by General West, adjutant general of the state of Utah and the Sixth Army, to be official chaplain for the funeral services of the four Bergstrom brothers of n. He is married to Ruth Hicken-loope- r, daughter of Bishop and Mrs. Frank Hickenlooper, of Lay-to' n. Mrs. Flint and daughter, Ruth Anne, 7, are residing with Chaplain Flint at Fort Lewis, Washington, where he has been called into active duty with the Utah National Guard. THERE will be a New Year for this Before his recent departure for wounded American soldier, whose Fort Lewis, Chaplain Flint was bandaged face and hands indicate serving as a member of the Granite Seminary Faculty in the church department of education. He also has served as a teacher and member of the Sunday School superintendency at Highland stake, Salt Lake City, and at the time of his call into the service, he was a member of the Park Avenue ward industry. As the calendar turned to 1930, Mr. Dunlap said, television was a great industry; millions of people were looking in as the scientists continued to triumph not only in monochrome pictures, but in color. These modern Rembrandts made a pallet of the sky and spread electronic pigments of fluorescent canvasses. New corridors in the radio spectrum were opened as a gallery of pictures that everyone might see. By listing important radio events, Mr. Dunlap provides a history in capsule form of the great events of the radio age. The fireside chats of President Roosevelt, Hitlers Blood and Steel addresses to the German Reichstag, thp Coronation of Pope Pius XII and other landmarks of the era are brought to life again through the Almanac. The historian of sports will find, in Mr. Dunlaps log of famous radio broadcasts, a recounting of legend- - A Winter's Tale 1944. Tre-monto- ur. how close he came to death.
