IN CENSORSHIP

Hoover Is Work of Several Agencies.

Co-ordinating

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11 (U. P).— Attorney General Biddle said yesterday that FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover is co-ordinating the work of several agencies comprising a communications censorship board and eventually would give way to a per-

manent director.

“I want to say that Mr. Hoover will not be a censor, permanent or

temporary, word,” he said.

The various agencies, whose ac-|’

tivities Mr. Hoover will seek to coordinate include the Army,

mission, which already are censoring outgoing and incoming cables, transocean telephone calls and other means of communication.

BALSA SCARCITY TESTS BUILDERS

Heavy Woods Can Be Used If the Shortage Becomes Acute.

By TIM TIPPETT What would model builders do if war conditions made balsa wood actually scarce in this country? Well, the shortage isn’t acute yet but seeping in from kit manufacturers indicate that there will be a shortage of this light weight wood in the fature. Model fans are thd type of humans who, when faced with a problem, are really in their element. Experiments are already under-

| way with various hardwoods to

substitute for balsa. The most

| popular so far are pine, spruce and : | bass.

These woods could be substituted for balsa in practically every type of out-door model.

Would Add Strength

Scale models, both built-up and solid types, could be improved by using the harder woods. They would require less finishing and small parts could be more accurately shaped. Besides, they would be stronger and not so easily damaged in handling. Wind-tunnel models are usually made from hard wood. aren't they? The design and construction of all types of flying models might be|; |brought closer to that of real planes by building them from heav{ier stock. At this very moment pleas are coming from every corner of the nation for heavier wing and power Joudings on gas jobs to keep them from flying out of sight so easily in contests. The same applies to rubber powered craft. If they were built from pine this would automatically be taken care of and the Isa wood shortage would also be

licked. Offset by Design We don't recommend that balsa

wood be banned while it is still

available, but if it really became impossible to obtain, model plane building shouldn't be curtailed in the slightest. Modern model design has been so highly developed in recent years, that an increase in weight could be

New Book Helpful

A new book for model builders,

“Model Airplane Design and the

Theory of Flight” written by

Charles H. Grant, editor of Model

Airplane News, is scheduled for

special interest to fans. In writing the foreword to the book, Maj. Al Williams, aviation expert of The Indianapolis Times, said: “This greatly needed book appears with all its important data, practical instructions and a general

wealth of information which, to my]: .

knowledge, has never before been

astembled in any comparable man-| .

The book, the first on the subject to discuss the theory and practice cf designing for model airplanes, is more for the builder than the pepihner Its 500 pages are illus-
