Plane Tomorrow
Dayton Celebration Of
Air Corps Both Birthday
To Feature 'UnveiIing'

The first public demonstration of
the Army Air Corps new radio-con-
trolled airplane, a revolutionary de-
velopment in the training of air and
ground troops, will be feature of
the celebration at Wright Field,
Dayton, Ohio, tomorrow of the 30th
anniversary of the purchase of the
first Army airplane and the birth Of
military aviation.
Development of the radio-con-
trolled airplane, which can be taken
off, put through various flight
maneuvers, flown back to its home
airdrome and landed through opera
ton from the ground of radio
actuated controls, without the
presence of personnel in the plane,
is long step toward the solution of
several vital problems of air defense
and the training of air and ground
personnel, particularly in defense
against air attack.
The development of the radio
controlled airplane was begun sew
eral years ago by the United States
Navy and has been carried to COM
pletion jointly by the Navy and the
Army Air Corps Material Division at
Wright Field. Parallel develop
mentS have been carried on in Eng
land and the British military and
naval services recently began ex-
tensive target work with a small
radio controlled airplane which
they call the Queen Bee.
The radio-controlled airplane is of
particular value in the training of
infantry, cavalry, field artillery
and coast artillery in the use of
small arms against low-fying air
craft and in the training of pursuit
pilots in aerial machine gun fire.
One-Third Normal Size.
The radio-controlled airplane as
developed for the Air Corps is about
one-third the size of the normal
Army pursuit airplane. 1t has a
wing span of II feet, this small size
increasing its value for target pur-
poses. Many of the gasoline
powered model airplanes built and
operated by American boys are of
seven foot span a few running as
large as nine foot span.
For aerial target work the Army
hitherto has used a fabric cone or
sleeve toWed on long line behind
an airplane. This has proved un-
satisfactory because it cannot be
maneuvered and for other reasons.
During the Wright Field demon
stration Army Air Corps posts
throughout the United States will
hold open house and squadrons of
the General Headquarters Air Force
will make flights over cities and
towns in many parts Of the country,
taking off simultaneously from nine
air stations at II a. m. on signal
from President Roosevelt.

WASHINGTON, June l5.-lt may be that at one time there was something rotten in the state of Denmark, but at present there is a solid effort to convince the Am erican public that there is some thing good in the state of Denmark, and in Sweden, too. It is a double budget system which permits gov ernments to spend money for work making public improvements With out throwing the regular budget out of balance.
 Its present opponents on this side of the Atlantic are leading figures of the New Deal together with a group of ecohomists. One of them, Dr. Alvin Hansen of Harvard, out lined the plan before the Temper ary National Economic Committee, which President Roosevelt asked re- gently to find a way to put idle money to work.
 The system wont let the govern ment have it's cake and eat 1t too. But it does let the government take credit for benefits gained.

5|LC0x, CHIEF OF U. S. FOREST
 SERVICE, HERE
Says Recreation Is South east Alaska $ Biggest
 Unused Resource

F. A. Silcox, Chief of the U. s. Forest Service, arrived in Juneau this morning on the launch Forester after a weeks cruise through South east Alaska.
 Silcox, tall, bronzed, white haired man, doesn't speak in the vernacular which makes good news paper stories. His talk is of world trade conditions, the genii of the test tube, European forest resources and other conditions which will af- feet Alaska's forest use.
 Frankly, he says that the outlook for development of pulp industry in Southeast Alaska in the near future is not propitious. Rise of the southern pine pulp industry, emerg- ing developments of "silk" hose made of a coal tar derivative (which cuts off the Japanese market to Amer ican pulp products), the influence of world trade barriers all conspire to make the picture dark for Alaska. A brighter outlook for timber use principally spruce for lumber, is seen by the Chief,
 Recreation, however, is Southeast Alaska's immediate best bet for de- velopment, Silcox said he believed.
 Tomorrow the Chief, with R. F Hammatt his assistant, and Re- gional Forester B. Frank Heintzle- man are leaving for Sitka on the Forester. Probably they will return by plane, spend week in Juneua and then go to the westward ano Interior.
 This Alaska country is as beau- tiful as any I've ever seen in the world Silcox said.

STEAMSHIPS WIN
 COURT CASE HERE
Alexander Finds Case Moi Under Norris LdGuardid
 nti-|njunefion ACt

A temporary restraining order, is- sued officially at 2 o'clock this after noon by Judge George F. Alexander, orders the Alaska Salmon Purse Seiners Union. it's officers and mem bers to cease interfering with inter state commerce by steamship lines.
 The injunction, applied for by the Pacific American Shipowners Asso- citation, the Alaska Steamship Com pany, Northland Transportation Company and Alaska Transporta- tion Company, seeks the removal of pickets from vessels carrying can- nery supplies to plants on union blacklist"
 First reports on effect of the order were being awaited from Waterfall. where the Alaska line freighter Lak- ina has been tied up full week unable to unload cannery supplies for the Nakat Packing Corporation because seamen on the ship refused to handle cargo while an ASPSU picket line was at the plant.
 Temporary Order
 Judge Alexander, in granting the temporary restrainer said he found the case did not come under the Norris LaGuardia anti injunction act, as ASPSU Attorney Joe Stearns claimed 1t did The Judge said he would set the matter over for furth- CT hearing before a permanent order would be issued
 The temporary order, however, re- mains in effect until it is super seded by permanent order at re- quest of shippers or dissolved on application of the union.
 Bond of $2,50O was ordered posted by the companies to cover any dam ages which might injure the union in case the order is found to have been issued enormously.
 Lengthy Case
 Issuing of the order eliminated three days of testimony and argu- ment in District Court. The ship pers were represented by Attorneys A. H. ziegler, H. L. Faulkner and R. E. Robertson. Stearns was sole union counsel.
 The shipping lines claimed they were damaged wrongfully as they were not party to the dispute be- tween the union and canneries. The union position was that it has not been picketing steamships but has just been picketing canneries.
 The picketing is the result of un- ion and packers not being able to agree on a new contract covering wages. working conditions and call- ing for elimination of 20 per cent of fish traps in Southeast Alaska.

scene of the wreck. and at press time, the body of Tweed had not been recovered.
 The plane was a specially built FairtIiild, designed fer freighting.
 Tweed had hoped that reg uiar run might be built up be- tween Juneau and the Interior country, cutting off miles and costs in operating out of here with freight destined for remote Northern British Columbia min ing camps.
 Dr. w. M. Whitehead is at tending Pickell, who is suffer- ing from severe case of shock. The rescued mechanic does not appear to be burned and was apparently thrown free from , the plane when it struck the dolphin.
 .Ex-rays had net been taken at press time to determine the possible extent of internal in juries, but Pickel's condition, nurses said, was not critical.
 Jerry Cole and Wayne (Fib- ber) McGee, the two l3 year old boys who saved Pickell, said Tweed was half way out of the plane, being pulled out by the co-piiot, when a can 0f gasoline exploded in his face and knocked him back into the burning plane. That was the last seen of Tweed.
 The boys were only short distance from the plane when it crashed.
 Pickell, who kept mumbling what happened to Charlie" was unable to use his legs, but swam around until the boys caught hold of him, they said. They held on to him for five minutes until help arrived. He was too heavy to be pulled into their small nine-foot skiff, they said, as it would have swamped. Pickell passed out" the boys said, while they held him above water.

Charles Tweed, Yukon South ern Air Transport pilot, was killed and his cO-pilot mechanic, Cecil Pickell, was miraculously saved from death this afternoon when the gasoline loaded sea- plane they were flying crashed into dolphin in Gastineau Channel near the Douglas Island shore and burned.
 The two, who had arrived here last night, were just talk ing off for Dease Lake on their return flight with cabin load ed with 265 gallons of case gasoline.
 Witnesses said the ship was taxing down the harbor for the takeoff, close to the Douglas shOreline, when it suddenly swerved, apparently striking a bar, then crashed head on into dolphin and burst into flames.
 PickelI owes his life to 13 year old Jerry Cole, son of Cash Cole, who was near the dolphin in his 9 foot 0utb0ard craft at the time.
 PickelI, who never swam a stroke in his life, managed to make the boat, where young Cole hung on to him until the yacht Triton arrived on the scene with number of other craft.
 Tweed, it is said, is one of Canada's well known veteran pilots, with Is years of exper- fence in ali sorts Of flying.
 The Triton, Capt. C. Hayes, sped back to Femmer's Float where rescued Pickell was help ed into an ambulance and rush ed to the hospital, incOherent and apparently suffering from broken nose and ether i'm juries.
 As he was helped to the float from the Triton, Pickell moan ed, Now, Charlie's gone - Charities gone"

How It Works

This is how the Swedes and Danes do it. They build a low cost housing project. Maybe it costs $10,000000. The rents are to pay the operating expenses and perhaps amortize S8000,O00 of the capital outlay. That $8,000,000 debt then goes in the special capital budget and as the payments come in it is retired. But the regular budget absorbs the interest charges on the $1O,OOO,OOO and pays the s2,OOO.O00 debt.
 What has happened then? h. stead of the regular budget being required to absorb the whole $10,- 100000 of outlay as well as inter est and running expense, it ab-
