American Inventors' stamps honoring
DENVER, CO, June 9 — A design
of a block of four American inven-tors'
stamps honoring electrical
engineers was unveiled here today
by the U.S. Postal Service during
Board meetings of The Institute od
Electrical and Electronics Engine-ers,
Inc. (IEEE). The block of
stamps honors Edwin Armstrong,
Philo T. Farnsworth, Charles Stein-met- z,
and Nikola Tesla — all
distringuished electrical engineers.
The stamps were presented during a
celebration of the first 10 years of
IEEE professional activities by the
Institute's United States Activities
Board. IEEE is also preparing to
celebrate its centennial next year,
marking 100 years of progress in
electrotechnology.
Edwin Armstrong, one of the four
engineers pictured on the stamps,
developed FM radio, announced in a
meeting of the Institute of Radio
Engineers (IRE), a predecessor or-ganization
of IEEE. Philo T. Farns-worth
developed an early television
camera. Charles Steinmetz applied
advanced mathematics to electrical

Edwin Howard Armstrong (1890-195- 4)
was born in New York and
became interested in radio engine-ering
as a high school student. He
attended Columbia University and
as an undergraduate made the first
of his many inventions, an impro-vement
for radio called the regenera-tive
circuit. Later he developed the
superhetrodyne circuit, which made
radio receivers vastly more sensiti-ve
and stable. His third important
discovery was superregeneration,
which limited oscillation in amplifi-cation,
and his greatest contribution
was frequency modulation, or FM
radio. Armstrong patented 42 inven-tions.
He was a recipient of the
Edison Medal of the American
Institute of Electrical Engineers and
the Medal of Honor of the Institute
of Radio Engineers.
Charles Protues Steinmetz (1865-192- 3)
came to the United States in
1889 from Breslau, Germany, where
he was a student at the University of
Breslau. He joined the inventor
Rudold Eickemeyer in building elec-tric
apparatus at Yonkers, N.Y., and
at the age of 27 formulated the law
of hysteresis, which made it possib-le
to reduce the loss of efficiency in
electrical apparatus. When Eicke-meyer- 's
firm was bought by General
Electric, Steinmetz joined the new
company, beginning a 31 -- year relati-onship
that ended only with his
death. His improvements in methods
of making calculations of current in
alternating current circuits revolu-tionized
power engineering, and his
theory of electrical transients stood
as another important contribution.
A president of the American Institu-te
of Electrical Engineers (1901-02- ),
he also received the Elliot Cresson
Gold Medal of the Franklin Institute.
Philo T. Farnsworth (1906-197- 1)
was born on a farm near Beaver City,
Utah and herded sheep as a young
boy. As a high school student in
Idaho he ecplained to his teacher his
conception for sending pictures
through the air, and he worked
doggedly to create an all-electro- nic
engineering, and was a president of
the American Institute of Electrical
Enginner's (AIEE), a second prede-cessor
organization of IEEE. Nikola
Tesla was the inventor of the
induction motor and a proponent of
alternating current electrical sys-tems.
The block of four 20-ce- nt stamps
recognizes the contributions of
individuals to electrical engineering
progress. IEEE President James B.
Owens joined U.S. Postal Service R
and D Laboratories Executive Direc-tor
Walter T. Marable in unveiling
the design. The stamps will formally
be issued on September 21 ,
1 983, at
the Inventors Hall of Fame in
Arlington, VA.
The IEEE, formed in 1963 with the
merger of AIEE and IRE, is the
world's largest technical professio-nal
organization having some
234,000 members in more than 120
countries. The United States Activi- -'
ties Board is the focal point of the
Institute's U.S. professional activi-ties
in Washington, DC.
television system. After attending
Brigham Young University he set up
a laboratory in San Francisko and
there, in 1927, transmitted his first
image — a horizontal line. The next
year he was able to send two-dimensio- nal
images and, after solving
distortion problems, demonstrated
a completely electronic television
system on September 2, 1928.
Farnsworth, who held 165 patents,
founded the Farnsworth Television
and Radio Corporation, and in
addition to his television work also
helped develop radar systems and
special purpose vacuum tubes. The
Institute of Radio Engineers presen-ted
him with the Morris N. Lieb-man- n
Memorial Award for important
contributions to emerging technolo-gies.
He was a fellow of the
American Association for the Ad-vancement
of Science and the IEEE.
Nikola Tesla (1855-194- 3) was born
of Serbian parents in the village of
Smiljan, Croatia, Yugoslavia. He
showed his technical brilliance ear-ly,
but felt that his native country
offered him only limited opportuni-ties,
so in 1884 he emigrated to the
United States and soon began
Working for Thomas Edison. He
soon struck out on his own,
however, for Edison had little use
for Tesla's bold new ideas — in
particular, his brilliant solution to
the problems of applying alternating
current in light and power systems.
Tesla's polyphase system was bro-ught
to market by George Westing-hous- e,
and after an acrimonious
struggle with the Edison interests,
who were wedded to the use of
direct current (dc), the Tesla system
became the standard in the twentie-th
century. Tesla's other inventions
included the synchronous ac motor,
devices for generating high voltage
and high frequency currents, and
contributions to radio technology.
Tesla received the Edison Medal of
the American Institute of Electrical
Engineers in 1916.

Jugoslavia prlhvaca skup u Ateni
BEOGRAD, Tanjug — Jugoslavia
je izrazila spremnost za sudjejovanje
na sastanku eksperata balkanskih
zemalja koji bi se potkraj ove godine
odrzao u Ateni. To se, kako saznaje
diplomatski urednikTanjuga, istiCe,
izmedu ostalog, u odgovoru pred-sjedni- ce
SIV-- a Milke Planinc na
poruku дгбкод premijera Andreasa
Papandreua ишбепод danas vladi u
Ateni.
U vezi sa tim u Saveznom sekreta-rijat- u
za vanjske poslove se isti6e da
bi se na skupu u Ateni mogle
razmotriti i mogudnosti za stvaranje
denuklerizirane zone na Balkanu.
Jugoslavia konstanto izrazava
spremnost za unapredenje kako
biTateralne tako i multilateralne su-radn- je
na Balkanu. Nema sumnje da
Jugoslavia i Gr6ka u torn- - pogledu
imaju bliske stavove. To je ohrabru-јиб- а
6injenica koja je posebno
гпабајпа u sadaSnjem trenutku kada
se sve беббе zapazaju upotreba sile i
primjena politike pritiska. U vezi sa
tim se ukazuje na 6injenicu da
balkanska suradnja moze biti plodna
i trajna samo ako se zasniva na
principima punog poStovanja, neza-visnos- ti,
suvereniteta, teritorijalnog
integriteta i nepovredivosti granica,
nemijeSanja i neupotrebe sile.
Zabrana svih vrsta oruzja
U Saveznom sekretarijatu za vanj-ske
poslove se isti6e da pretvaranje
Balkana u zonu bez nukleamog
oruzja pretpostavlja zabranu upotre-b- e
bilo koje vrste oruzja protiv bilo
koje balkanske zemlje. Stvaranje
takve zone je nesumnjivo u interesu
svih balkanskih naroda i zemalja. i
to je put k pretvaranju ovog podrufcja
u zonu mira i suradnje.
S druge strane, aktivnim odno-so- m svih balkanskih zemalja prema
razyoju i dobrosusjedskoj suradnji
mogu se prevladati razlike pa i
sporovi koji su prisutni i u ovom
dijelu svijeta. Postojanje razlika ne
treba da bude prepreka ostvarivanju
vitalnih interesa balkanskih zemalja
a prije svega орбој zelji svih
ovdaSnjih naroda da se zivi u miru i
da se samostalno kroz medusurad- -
nju utvrduju putovi vlastitog razvoja
i napretka.

nedavnog puta u Cleveland, isprifiao
nam je lepu pricu:
— Ovo je bio prvi eksperimenat
na§e djece u Sjedinjenim Drzavama.
Sam put je bio naporari, jer smo
krenuli autobusom za Cleveland u 3
dasa ujutru. Stigli smo oko 9
dasova. Smjestili smo se u unapred
rezervisan hotel, a ve6 u 10 dasova
ujutru imali smo general nu probu.
Uvjezbavali smo zajednidki nastup

dirigentskom palicom T. Bossicka.
Neopisivo velidanstven prizor. I
pored umora, naSa djeca su bila
radosna, puna entuzijazma. Predaha
nije bilo.
Istog dana, u 1 sat po podne

Jugoslavia je kao nesvrstana
zemlja dala bitan doprinos o6uvanju
velikog dijela Balkana od blokov-sko- g
utjecaja, podrazumijevaju6i tu
da na njenom teritoriju nema ni
stranih vojnih baza niti nukleamog
ili drugog oruzja masovnog uniSta-vanj- a.
U torn duhu Jugoslavia
podrzava sve prijedloge za stvaranje
denukleariziranih zona i zona mira i
suradnje u Africi, Latinskoj Americi,
Evropi i u drugim dijelovima svijeta
gdje su istaknuti zahtjevi zainteresi-rani- h
zemalja.
Kao Sto je poznato, Jugoslavia je
aktivno podrzavala ideju o stvaranju
takve zone joS od inicijative Ru-munjs- ke
iz 1957. godine, Sto je i
predsjednik Tito potvrdio u izjavi
danoj 1959. godine. Zainteresirana
za multilaterarnu suradnju na Balka-nu,
Jugoslavia je pruzila podrSku i
inicijativi predsjednika Konstantina
Karamanlisa iz 1974. godine koja je
otvorila proces odrzavanja svebal-kanski- h
skupova u razliCitim pod-rufcjimaziv- ota
— privredi, saobraca-j- u
i si. I tu se joS jednom pokazala
zajednifika zainteresiranost balkan-skih
zemalja za medusobnu su-radnju.
Preporuke nesvrstanih
Копабпо treba imati u vidu da je
Jugoslavia svojim inicijativama
dala velik doprinos akcijama nes-vrstanih
zemalja za pretvaranje Sre-dozeml- ja,
a samim tim i Balkana, u
zonu mira i suradnje. To je potvrde-n- o
i na Sedmom samitu u Nju
Delhiju. iz Nju Delhija je ирибепа
poruka svim zemljama Sredozemlja
da suraduju na ostvarenju ove ideje.
Sasvim je izvjesno da Balkan moze
uspjeSno ja6ati svoju sigumost i
pridonositi miru u torn dijelu
svijeta pa i Sire u sklopu evropske
sigurnosti i razoruzanja, ukljuCujudi
tu Sire podru6je Mediterana koji je
danas pretvoren u podrufije najvece
koncentracije oruzanih snaga.
Otuda jugoslavenska javnost
smatra nuznim zavodenje zabrane
demonstriranja sile i velikih vojnih
snaga kraj granica i spredavanje
gomilanja konvencionalnog kao i
nukleamog oruzja. To treba da bude
dio svake akcije i stvarnog napora za
ostvarenje mira i stabilnosti u torn
podru6ju.

Tog prvog dana festivala
nastupilo je 15 tamburaSkih orkes-tar- a.
— Drugi dan festivala, u nedjelju,
робео je velidanstvenom scenom
zajednidkog nastupa svih udesnika
— 777 901. Ukupno je nastupilo 14
tamburaSkih zborova. Iz Kanade ih je
bilo tri: TamburaSki zbor pri Odsjeku
975; Toronto Junior Tamburitza, pri
Odsjeku 961 i Hamilton Junior
Tamburitza, pri Odsjeku 644. Kanad-sk- i
zborovi su nastupili na kraju. Mi
smo bili 13-- ti po redu. _,
— U subotu uvjede bila je
organizirana lijepa svjedanost za
sve mlade udesnike ove velike
kulturne manifestacije. Najpre je u 7
dasova odrlana u katedrali zajednid-k- a
sluzba za udesnike koju je obavio
grdko-katolid- ki biskup. Zatim smo u
7,30 svi poSH u Bond Court Hotel na
zabavu organiziranu u naSu dast.
Veselju nije bilo kraja. Do kasno u
nod igrala su se narodna kola iz svih
krajeva naSe stare domovine.
— Kada smo u 5 dasova po podne --.
u nedjelju, po zavrSetku festiva-la,
seli u autobus za Toronto, dinilo
nam se da smo bili akteri uzbudlji-vo- g
filma koji je kratko trajao i na
umor smo zaboravili.
