SUBMARINE DETECTION
Undersea ‘Ears’ Planned 7N.Z. Press Assn.—Copyright) LONDON, Dec. 25. America is to install a chain of underwater listening devices off the Atlantic and Pacific coasts to give automatic warning of enemy submarines, the “Daily Express” correspondent, Chapman Pincher, reported. This had become necessary, he said, because of the devastation which could be caused to U.S. cities by a surprise attack by Russian or Chinese submarines carrying Polaristype missiles. The robot “ears”, powered by long-life atomic batteries would sound alarms in shorebased stations and give the approximate position of the submarines, Pincher said.
