HOT SENATE FIGHT
AWAITS GOLD BILL
Measure, Passed by House,
Is Threatened Even
in Committee.
By the Associated Press.

Though the House has passed the
Roosevelt bill to close the door to
suits against the Government result
ing from dollar devaluation, fight
awaits 1t ir tllG Senate.
Some Senators on the Banking
Committee predicted today the COM
mittee would report adversely on the
measure.
II that shoulc be the case, II would
be the tirst adverse report from a
Senate committee on any Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt major legislative pro-
posals. Administration leaders still
were hopeful, however, Of favorable
report, in view OF the swift House ap-
proval of the measure yesterday by .
vote Of 258 to 80.
Predictions that the committee
would oppose the measure were based
on criticism of 1t In the recent hear
ings, led by Senators Glass, Democrat,
of Virginia ane McAdoo, Democrat, Of
California. former Treasury Secre-
tarieA
Senate Reaction Unfzvorable.
Regardless of the committees &C.
ton. the Senate reaction to the pro-
posal to block suits for recovery Of
processing taxes forebodes trouble for
the gold CLAUSE legislation.
Opposition to closing the courts to
aggrieved citizens sprang from both
sides in yesterdays debate and forced
consideration Of q compromise under
which those showing they had been
damaged could obtain trial.
A similar modification Of the gold
clause resolution is pending in the
Senate Banking Committee, backed by
Senator Gore, Democrat, OF Okla
homa. Such q clause would virtually
destroy the effect of the resolution, for
the Supreme Court already has indi-
Gated that is the only kind OF case
that would have standing.
The legislation Is frankly designed
to prevent suits even If damage could
be shown.
Former Secretaries Score 1t.
McAdoo and Glass have denounced
the proposal as "repudiation"and pre-
dicted it would have dire consequences
on Government credit. Secretary
Morgenthau argued it would help
Federal credit by removing the threat
of the suits.
Before the overwhelming House ap-
proval. q Republican effort to send
the bill back To committee was beaten,
$50 to 90. The motion, made by Rep
resentative Hollister, Republican, of
Ohio, was designed to make the Gov
ernment's refusal to be sued apply
only to gold cases. AZ 1t stands. the
resolution applies to suits involving
any Government securities, coins or
currencies.

THREE planes and simple

Junior Aviator series so far. And
each plane is capable of a record

you.
Some of you seasoned veterans
probably are becoming impatient
with the elementary lessons. But
don't forget that later on when you
are called upon to build those Doug
Eases, Boeings, Vultees and Clippers
that the newer members are going
to need this early experience. It'll
do some of the old-timers to go over
these fundamentals.
But record flights are what we
like to hear Junior Aviators talk
about. And record flights are due
to the efficiency of the model. So
in todays story we are going to de-
scribe how to build simple auto
matte winder which will give the
small rubber power plant of your
model greater efficiency-lending far
greater endurance.
Construct Winder
1t is almost impossible for the
junior builder to get the full power
from twisting the rubber strands
without winder. It not only SIM

plifies the task, but adds to the
efficiency because with winder the
rubber can be stretched and wound
to its maximum.
A geared winder made from an
egg beaten, purchased from almost
any 5 and 10-cent store, is probably
the easiest and cheapest to build.
1t is made for winding two pro-
pellers which need be turned in op-
posite directions, like those of a twin
tractor or pusher. But for a single
propeller model such as we have
been building in this series, only one
shaft need be used.
The drawing above shows typi-
cal egg beaten as it comes from the
store. To make the winder, the
whirling spoons are cut off where
indicated by the line. AS shown in
Figure 1, one of these metal strips
is cut shorter than the other to allow
for overlapping.
This cutting can best be done by
clamping' the egg-beater in wise
and saving through with a hack
saw. Having severed the heaters
and cut the shafts, next drill holes
through the metal strips.
Use a drill large enough to make
a hole through which the gear shafts
may pass. Bend the metal strips
back to the holes using long-nosed
pliers so that when bent inward
they will appear as in Figure 2. The
two holes must be in line.

Chief of Air Service
Scripps-HOWard Junior Aviator

Chief OF Air Service
Scripps- Howard Junior Aviator
YOU'VE all heard of the opera
l. ton of refueling aircraft in the
air. :. Well, it's a very interesting
task and one requiring a great deal
of smart plotting and keen judgment
of speed and distance.
Not long ago two British airmen,
Sir Allen Gotham and Squadron
Leader Helmore, set out from Eng
land to fly to India without land
ing. They planned to refuel their
ship from another plane over the
Island of Malta in the Mediter-
ranean. Arriving there, they found
the refueling ship in the air at the
designated altitude. Now for the
job of refueling.
Gotham flew his ship so feet be-
low the gas tanker. Helmore opened
hatch in the top of the fuSelage
and stood ready to guide the hose
into the gas tank. A string carry
ing toy balloon, half-filled with
water, was let down from the refuel-
ing ship and by means of this
Helmore pulled in the hose and
showed the nozzle into the almost
empty gasoline tanks.
About 100 gallons were taken
aboard and the operation just
about completed when a tiny
pin which connected Cobham's
throttle lever with the carburetor,
slipped out of place and the motor
shut down. The hose pipe was jerked
out of Helmore'S hands, still shoot
ing out stream of gasoline. The
plane was quite a distance from
Malta and Gotham doubted his abil-
ity to stretch glide to the island.
His first thought was to let down
the landing gear to normal posi-
ton . +. but second and smarter
thought convinced him the added
resistance of the lowered landing
gear would cut short his glide. So
-. up came the landing gear again!
And freed of this resistance, the
ship sailed over the water to the
island, skinned over houses, bar
racks, walls. And with no time to
lower the landing gear again, Cob
ham landed the ship safely on its
"tummy." The damage was just
few scratches along the bottom.
Question: What is the angle. of
attack?
The acute angle of an airfoi1 and
its direction of motion relative to
the air.

TINY PLANES TO
SPAN CONTINENT
IN AIR DERBY
Thrilling TranScontinentaI
Event Arranged for
Junior AviatorS.

Plans for q thrilling transcon-
tinental air derby, twice spanning
the United States from ocean to
ocean, have been announced for
Scripps- Howard Junior Aviators.
Strange as it may seem, the air
derby will be run with model planes
and every one of the tens Of thou
sands Of Junior Aviators in the
country will have an opportunity to
participate.
Both stick models and built-up
enclosed fuselage models will be
used and builders of the best flying
models in each city will take part
in the derby.
AviatOrs Urged to Start
Details Of the big race will be
announced from day to day in The
Times but, meantime, Junior Avn
ators are urged to begin construc-
ton of their racing planes without
delay.
Two finalists from each Junior
Aviator city are 70 be selected. They
will be the builders of the stick
model and fuselage model planes
that establish the best endurance
marks during the preliminary con-
tests in each city.
Junior AviatorS are urged to read
the following specifications carefully
and then begin construction Of their
racers.
stick Model Construction
Derby entries of this type must
be single member or open frame
work body, rather than fuselage.
Tube or hollow member construc-
ton for the frame, or ships not
meeting the fuselage type require
ments, are included in this group.
Motors may be inclosed in tubes or
built up members.
The effective main supporting
surfaces (wings) shall be not less
than 100 square inches nor more
than 300 square inches in area.
Models shall weigh, ready to fly, at
least one ounce for each so square
inches of wing area.
Commercial Type Models
Derby entries of this type must be
Of built-up inclosed fuselage design.
The minimum area of the maximum
cross-section of the fuSelage must
correspond to the formula l. squared
divided by 100 where L equals the
overall length of the model, ex-
Guiding the propeller.
The fuselage shall be Of approx
mate streamline form and have not
less than 90 per cent of its sur
face covered. Outriggers and booms
may be used on fuselage type mod
els. The fuselage shall be struc-
ture which supports the motor,
wings, empennage and landing gear.
One Inch Wheels
Wheels must be not less than one
inch in diameter. When rubber is
used for the motive power it shall be
contained entirely within the fuse
lage. Wing area is not to exceed $50
square inches and shall not be less
than 100 square inches.
Models must weigh not less than
one ounce for every so square inches
of wing area, including propeller
unit, and all parts used in flight.
So choose your type of plane,
Junior AviatorS, begin construction
and then watch The Times every
day for more details.
It's going to be an easy contest
but aplenty of fun is promised. Rec
ordS for outdoor flying are expected
to be broken.

BIRTH CONTROL
BATTLE RACES
IN HOUSE QUIZ
Mrs. Sanger Calls Farley
Unfair; Pleads for
Use of Mails.

BIZ gcripps-HoicaTd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON. April 6.-Post-
master General James A. Farley
today stood accused CT "unfairness'
in admitting to the mails The
Rhythm" manual which deals
with preventing conception, while
barring other treaties Of birth con-
troll.
The charge was made by Mrs.
Margaret Sanger, noted birth-con-
troll advocate. before the House Post
Office Committee. which was consid-
ering a bill proposed by the Post
Office Department for more effective
prosecutions under the so-called
"obscenity' statute. This law,
Lassed 81 years ago, Classics birth
control literature and devices as
obscene matter.
THE Rhythm" issued with &C.
clesiastical appreciation" according
to Mrs. Sanger, was ruled mailable
by the Postoffice Department Feb.
20, 1894. A few days later, on March
8, the department refused to sane
ton a technical text, understandable
only to physicians, on the Same sub
ject.
THE Rhythm" Under Fire
Mrs. Sanger said The Rhythm"
purports to explain a method of de-
termining to the hour and minute
the sterile period of women each
month.
DR.. Eric NJ Matsner Of New York,
medical director of the American
Birth Control League, criticised I'M
limited dissemination of THE
Rhythm" and testified that he
knew of a case where its circulation
among high school girls led to an
increased incidence of pregnancies.
He, like Mrs. Sanger. advocated an
amendment legalizing the limited
mailing of birth-control advice and
devices by exempting physicians,
hospitals and clinics from the g.
year-old obScenity law.
Another physician, DR.. Prentice
Wilson Of Washington, supporting
the amendment, said that present
birth rates among families on relief
were 80 1-3 per cent higher than
among non-relief families.
Congressman Give Support
Rep. Waller M. Pierce 3D., Ore) i,
who proposed the amendment, and
Reps. Lister Hill Cd, Wash), Percy
Lee Gassaway Cd, Okla) and John
G. Utterback Cd, la all supported
the contention of Mrs. Sanger.
The picturesque and booted Judge
Gassaway said the highest class of
people in Oklahoma" have told him
they favor such legislation, and that
his own experience of many years as
lawyer and judge has convinced me
that we should at least let the eth
ical medical men handle these mat
ters."
G. L. Williams of the PoStoffice
Departments inspection division
said the bill as proposed would cover
birth-control devices, although he
insisted the department was chiefly
concerned with a flood of obscene
literature.
Postmaster General Farley said
later he did not know about THE
Rhythm" but would look into the
matter.
