FT. DIX, N. J., Nov. 12 (U. P.).— Two American Federation of Labor unions had it figured out today which would carry the lumber and which the sand, thus ending their four-day strike in this important national defense center. Apprentice carpenters will carry the lumber and fabricated materials, such as wallboard. The hod-car-riers and laborers will handle rough materials, such as sand and gravel. Members of the hodcarriers and laborers union, Local 369, walked out on Friday, because apprentices of the Carpenters and Joiners Union, Local 1489, and not their members 1were unloading and loading lumber.

Red Cross workers today were distributing ~~ 80,000 . membership blanks in the City as the annual campaign got underway.

Like ocean liners that use motors to turn the rudder, the B-19's rudder, elevators and ailerons will be moved by electric motors controlled | by the pilot. This was necessary becduse the control surfaces—larger than the entire wing area of most airplanes—would be virtually impossible to move by manual controls. The radio equipment also will use a large portion of the electrical output of the generators. It consists of four sending and receiving sets carried for different purposes. The equipment is as large as that of a medium sized commercial broadcasting station. : In flight the crew will be sta-
