Chief of Air Service
Scripps-Howard Junior Aviator

4 NUMBER of letters from Junior
L n Aviators have asked me to eX-
plain the radio beam, in popular use
on airWays and for blind flying
training. So here's how it works:
Signals are sent from a ground
station equipped with powerful APP
paratus. These ground stations are
established all the way across the
country, sending out radio beams
along the routes Travelled by Sched-
uled air transports.
The signals sent out from the
ground transmitters may be indi-
Gated by code through the pilots
earphoneS, by colored lights on the
instrument board or by a moving
reed on an indicator dial. If a pilot
wearing earphoneS is on the proper
course he hears slow regular repe-
ton of the signal for T in tele-
graphic code which is a single
long dash. If he swerveS to the
right he hears the signal for A {.
which is dot, dash, dot, dash. If he
turns to the left he gets the signal
for N, the reverse of the A signal.
If lights on the instrument board
are used, a white light NEAR. he
ship is on its course. A red light
will indicate the plane is going to
the right and a green light will
mean the reverse.
The radio direction finder consists
of two reeds vibrating in consonance
with radio beacon If the plane
is ION course" the two reeds vibrate
in unison but if the plane goes
to right or left of the proper course,
one Of the reeds vibrateS more rap
idly than the other.
Another important instrument, of
similar usage, which is just being
developed, is the radio compass. The
beauty of this instrument is it can
be tuned in on regular commercial
broadcasting stations. A pilot using
the radio compass hears the stand
ard broadcaStS of these stations in
MS earphoneS and a dial in
front of him shows whether or not
he's on his course. If he goes left.
needle swings left and vice
versa.
QUESTION-What is a tail slide?
Certain planes, brought into a
Stalling position by a steep climb,
sometimes slide backward and down
ward. This is tail slide.

JOHNSON TAKES
APART PANACEA
FOR RECOVERY
Finds New Dead Has Flaws
But Far Superior to
Other Plans.
BY HUGH S. IOHNSON-

WASHINGTON, April 27.-There
are five divisions of public opinion
on the way ont of this depression
1t IS a good thing to list and look
at them together because they 90
TO our most vital problem:
l. Take all property by direct
tax and divide it among the poor.
(The Longites).
2. BY a tax on all business
transactions create a huge gov
eminent fund to pay living in
comes to all unemployables. CThe
Townsendites).
3. Avoid taxes but pay govern
ment costs in printed paper cur
rency with no value behind it
This will make money so cheap
and prices so high that debt can
be paid off easily and business can
become SO active as to absorb I'M
employment. (The Coughlinites).
4. Abolish all government con-
trols on business on the theory
that they retard natural forces
which alone are now strong enough
to return prosperity. CThe Old
Guard.
D. BY taxing to the limit all in
comes and inheritances and gifts,
by creating deficits and by Dor
rowing. produce large funds for
necessitouS relief on the chance
that before the deficits crack us
up, natural return to active bust
ness will take up back to pros
perity. Che Administration
The first two are utter nonsense.
No way has ever been suggested to
take all private property by a tax
and divide it up like a pie. DR..
Townsend'S plan plus present costs
Of government would take away
nearly all national income.
Deadly Danger Cited
The plan to substitute fiat money
for taxes has been tried many times
and has failed every single time.
That leaves the Old Guard and the
New Deal to consider.
There is a good gamble that bust
ness will come back naturally and
therefore some gamble that it would
come back if all recent statutory
controls were cut down.
But you can't put your whole
business and social structure on
stills one year and kick them away
the next without a crash. The New
Deal was a collection of compelled
action rather than a patent plan. 1t
may prove wrong in much and Ger
tainly is wrong in part. Its very
proponents know that its vast excess
of expenditure over revenue can't go
on forever without ruin. But the
impression being created by politi-
cal ballyhoo from both extremes
that it ought to be dynamited to-
morrow is a deadly danger.
Finds New Deal Practical
Apart from hindsight, lugubrious
apprehension and personal dislike, I
want to drop three questions here
about this Administration:
l. Is there any principal emer-
gency action which, at the time
it was taken, did not seem neces-
sary and in place of which a bet
ter action was urged?
2. Is there any action that JUS
titles a charge that it does not
recognize the limits beyond which
it can not in prudence go?
3. If the answers to those two
questions are yes" then, of the
five popular schemes for recovery
stated in the beginning, is there
any reasonable alternative to the
administration plan?

IIERE is the first outdoor model
Il l. to be described in the Junior
Aviator construction series.
1t is a sturdy stick model designed
by Scripps- Howard model engineers
to answer the many requests of
Junior Aviators for an outdoor
plane.
Because of its sturdiness, it is an
ideal model for spring flying and
will stand the test of the rugged
spring winds.
1t has been named ScrippS-Ho
ard Outdoor r. o. G.
Like the other models described
in this series, it advances the be-
ginner another step in model build
ing, offering the beginner his first
opportunity to use tissue covering
on both sides of the wing.

MOTOR STICK

Begin your work by constructing
the motor stick which is made from
the -4x5-16x18-inch balsa piece.
Taper the tail end of the stick
equally on both sides. Four inches
from end, as shown in the diagram
above, to 1-16 inch. Cement the
large thrust bearing in place on the
top side of the nose of the stick and
bind it with thread. Apply coat
OF cement over the thread 20 make
it more durable.
Now bend the rear rubber hook
from No. 031 music wire and force
it through the motor stick 4 inches
from the tail and indent it in the
underside of the motor stick. Cement
it in place and bind With thread.
The next wire fitting to be made is
the landing gear Bend it as shown
in the diagram above. Put the
wheels on the axle and hold in place
with a drop of cement on each axle
end. Press the u" section of the
landing gear firmly against the
motor stick 214 inches from the nose
and cement and bind in position.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1935-04-27
PROPELLER

The propeller is the next step in
construction. This model is for out
door flying and needs a Sturdier pro-
peller than any We have constructed
for models so far in this series. It
is carved, from a block Xxi Il X9
inches, in the same manner as de-
tailed in endurance model plans,
only the blades are not sanded down
to such a fine thinness. The tips
of the blades are about 1-32-inch
thick and taper back to about Lie
inch thickness. The hub is 5-16
inch wide
After the propeller has been
carved. bend the propeller shaft
from No. OBJ music wire. Insert it
in the propeller hub. bend it around
and pull it back so that the point
of the wire is buried in the hub.
Several drops of cement will hold
the shaft in position.
The propeller is due for many
hard bumps in outdoor flying and
since balsa wood is of such a soft
texture it will be badly battered in
a few days So in order to strength
en- the propeller give it coat of
banana oil. This forms a lacquer
surface over the blades and helps
protect it from many hard knocks.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1935-04-27
STABILIZER

The tail unit is the next construc-
ton step and is built directly on the
motor stick. At a point 2i2 inches
from the tail end of the stick on
the underside cut a slot LIS inch
deep and Is inch wide Center the
l-l6Xi2X8-inch croSSbar in position
and cement in place Working &C
cording TO the diagram, fit the lis
inch square braces in place. There
are no measurements given for these
on the diagram. Each builder must
cut and fit these diagonal pieces,
using the measurement points shown
on the motor stick as a guide. Also,
fit in the small 1-16-inch braces.
These will prevent the tissue cover

public interest. Perhaps a better
conception results through realization
that 6 per cent? interest alone on
sI5OO0O,00O amounts to S750,000
monthly or approximately SIS, 900 per
day. Even with four-fifths Of this
volume paid for in cash, the remain

through money borrowed in response

.113 ARE PLEDGED
TOMODERN|zAT|ON
Encouraging Results Are OBJ
tanned in Washington as
Canvass Opens.

The first four days activity in Wash
ington's modernization pledge canvass,
in which a comparative handful of
men took part. has resulted in a total
of SOS, 1892 toward the goal of $1,000 900
which the F. H. A. expects to have
pledged to property rehabilitation work
here during the next three months
The canvassers visited 436 property
owners, of whom 113 signed pledges to
modernize their homes or business
properties. Joseph Karl Gilchrist, di-
rector of F. H. A. activities in the Dis
trict, expressed qualification at the
result of this preliminary work, and
said that the percentage of pledges
obtained from the people visited,
judged by canvasses in other cities,
was unusually high.
Few Canvassers.
Only nine men were engaged in the
canvass work Monday, the first day,
but the number was increased to 36 by
Thursday, the last day for which fig
ures are available. Gilchrist declared
that so men would be engaged in the
work next week. and that within a
short time he expects to have 100 on
the project.
In addition to the lib who actually
sign ledges, the canvassers reported
that IU5 property owners said they in
tended to nave moderniZation work
done, but refused to sign their names.
Director Gilchrist reported that eX-
perience in other cities has shown a
high percentage Of this class actually
going through with the repairs, addi-
tions or alterations, which the gen.
eral term "moderniZation" implies.
The average valuation of moderni-
zation work pledged is 1854 per person.
A large portion Of the past weeks
canvassing was devoted to colored dis
trictS, GilchriSt stated.
Financed by Business Men.
The campaign to obtain S6,000,000
in modernization pledges in the city
is being financed largely by the build
ers, building supply and home equip
ment firms, that would naturally profit
from such a campaign. Ray Semmes,
F. H. A. field man, is directly in charge
of modernization credits in the District.
Mrs. Florance Vining, a member of
the local F. H. A. headquarters staff,
stated that prominent women of Wash
ington are being organized to carry out
an intensive drive for modernization
among members of their sex. She
said that radio programs for IA weeks
have been arranged. An important
meeting to effect this organization will
be held this afternoon in the head
quarters of the Washington Better
Housing Program, Shoreham Building.

SUCCESS Of FE.H.A.
HAILED BY EDITOR
Dollar Volume Results Are
Held Larger Than Many
Firms in 1884.

Dollar volume results obtained by
the Federal Housing Administration
to date far exceed total business done
in 1884 by many very large manu-
featuring businesses, according to E.
L. Gilbert, eastern editor of Ameri-
can Builder Magazine.
''Modernization and repair work in
excess of s150,000,000 has been de-
veloped through a well-rounded out
Nationwide sales promotion cam
paign," said Gilbert, "and there were
few industrial concerns in the entire
United States which could report
more than sl50,O0O,0O0 Of sales in
1884. Bearing in mind that the Fed
eral Housing Administration did not
get under way until August, results
have averaged $4,000 900 per month
"a tremendous sales volume.
F. III. A. Criticized.
Some criticism has been directed
toward the Federal Housing Admin
istration, charging that it has been
failure" Gilbert continued. but ii
is difficult to conceive of any bust
ness operation developing so great
volume being justly charged with
lack of results.
THE trouble may lie in the fact
that even those within the industry
find it difficult to comprehend the
great ramifications of the entire build
ing and construction norm of activ-
ity. To the average man the build
ing business is a mystery, from
technical details to conception Of
countrywide operation; with reports
constantly before us of billions being
appropriated and spent for this and
that. it is not surprising that a few
