Model Plane Builders
Ask for Priorities So
Youth Can Be Trained
Association Contends
Postime Is VituI to U. S.
Future Air Supremacy
By DEVON FRANCIS.
Wide World News,

wac WOrlu news.
IT now comes out that one part
of the aircraft building industry in
the United States will require dur
ing the calendar year 1912:
54,978 gross of glass jars and bot
ties
234 tons of tissue paper.
80 tons of rubber bands.
2314 tons of celluloid.
The Academy of Model Aeronau-
tics, administered by the National
Aeronautic Association, is asking
the Government for priority on
those materials so that a quarter of
a million youngsters can go on
building miniature planes.
Model building, argues Kendall
K. Hoyt. the association manager
and acting director of its Air Youth
Division, must 60 on in spite of the
war because:
1t pre-trains hundreds of thou
sands of boys and girls in aviation
handicraft, developing their skill as
future pilots and aircraft mechanics.
1t is indispensable in training
military and civilian defense person.
mel In aircraft identification.
1t builds morale among young
people.
1t fosters international co-opera-
tion, especially with Latin America.
Youth Training Held Vital.
The priority materials survey is
included in preliminary report for
the coming year by Mr.. Hoyt and
Albert L. Lewis, executive director
OF the associations academy.
Model planes, they find, will re-
uuire, In addition, II tons of high
grade and 20 tons of secondary, scrap
r low-grade aluminium for minia-
hlre engine manufacture; 5,770600
board feet of balsa wood. and SUM-
dry other materials, such as wire,
tin, steel, cast iron, gaskets and
wheels.
Youth training in aviation" Mr..
Hoyt and Mr.. Lewis report, through
the building and flying Of model
aircraft is fundamental to Amer
can air supremacy either for war or
FOR peace.
THE Axis nations built their air
power through mass movements
which carried the young people
step by step into their jobs both
on the firing line and on the as
sembly line America has done as
much through volunteer action by
more than 100000 aeromodelers
throughout the country"
Aviation Leaders Are Examples.
They point out that such promi-
nent aviation leaders as the Wright
brothers, Donald w. Douglas, Glenn
L. Martin, William B. Stout and
igor I. Sikorsky were all model
builders in their youth.
Parks Air College, East st. Louis,
Ill, reports that 79 per cent of its
commercial aviation students built
models before enrolling. The Casey
Jones School of Aeronautics, New
ark, says Seventy per cent OF our
men have done some model building
at one time or another. We have
found as general run that the
men who have gone on into the more
advanced stages of model building
have less diffculty in our basic
training departments than their
olassmAtes."

While the proposals did not out
line specifically the reasons for the

Seven-Doy Week
Desired So No
Machine IdIes
BY JOHN c. HENRY.

Driving toward continuous de-
fense production, President Roose-
velt today called on his defense
chieftains to put American industry
on a 24-hour-a day, Seyen-day-a.
week basis.
To accomplish this, he directed the
Office of Production Management to
comb the country for experienced
machine operators, disclosing at the
same time that the War Department
is currently making a study of pos
sible relaxation of CONSUMPTION
policies to permit deferment for men
qualified to work in vital industries.
He disclosed further in connection
with the survey of industrial labor
that consideration likewise Is being
given to relaxing draft demands on
such professions as medicine and
engineering.
Mr.. RooSevelt's urgent call for a
speed-up in the manufacture and
operation Of industrial machinery
was contained in a letter to William
s. Knudsen and Sidney Hillman,
directors of the o. P. M.
Speaking specifically of the ma
chine-tool industry, the Chief Ex-
ecutive noted in his letter that there
has been a substantial growth in
the past months and accompanying
increase of operating time of critical
machines.
But it is not enough" he con-
tinued. The ever-increasing de-
mands for munitions, planes and
ships, caused by the critical situ-
alton which confronts our Nation,
require that they be produced in
even larger quantities and ahead of
the schedules assigned to them. 1t
is essential that industry continue
to increase the number of vital
machines manufactured and that
every single critical machine in the
United States be used the maximum
number of hours each week"
In proposing that every effort be
made for fullest utilization for pro-
ductive machinery, the President
went on to say that if such ma
chinery is already located in defense
plants its hours of operation should
be increased; if in other plants it
should be given defense work to do
or moved to a defense plant.
24-Hour Operation Desired.
Our problem is to see to it," he
wrote. that there is no idle critical
machine in the United States. The
goal should be to work these ma
chimes "a hours a day and seven
days a week, relieving the machines
only for such time as is required
for overhauling and repair.
The country should be further
combed for men who have had ex-
perience on these machines. We
should ask them to transfer their
efforts to this operation which is so
essential to our defense. No effort
or justif1able expense should be
spared in speeding this program
In order to obtain the objective
which our national interests re-
quire."
On the problem of man power. Mr.
Roosevelt said it was expected that
suff1cient skilled help could be
found to operate the machines with
out lengthening the employe work
week. At the present time, he said
