...flew Caudle to Florida twice for deep-sea fishing. Once, Caudle got up the whole party, which included Charles Oliphant, counsel of the Bureau of Internal Revenue. While these pleasant jaunts were going on, the U.S. was investigating Whitehead's tax status. Caudle said he had just a "faint recollection" that he might have telephoned Oliphant about removing a $40,000 tax lien the U.S. had against Whitehead's plant.

The Signal Corps sent powerful radar pulses and got faint echoes in return. The Bureau of Standards' experiment, the first to send an actual long-distance message via the moon, may have a practical outcome. Ultra high frequency waves are not affected by the electrical disturbances in the atmosphere that sometimes black out other radio channels. With their great 'disadvantage (short, "line-of-sight" range) overcome by using the moon as a reflector...
