Kaiser. Hughes Moy Use
Wood for Cargo Planes

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 25. CUP
Howard Hughes, flier and air
craft builder, disclosed today there
was a possibility that the big cargo
planes which he and Henry j. Kai-
ser plan to produce may be built of
wood instead of metal
Use of wood might solve the vital
problem of material for the fleet
of huge transports, Hughes said.
up to this time all large planes
have been built of metal, therefore
most aeronautical engineers prob
ably would throw their hands in
the air at the thought of building
the largest plane of all from wood
However, l am convinced it is prac-
tical"

Long Island.
AS the newsmen made their OBJ
servation, the seven generals ap-
peared amused at times and some
times a bit annoyed. At one point
the president Of the commission,
Maj. Gen. Frank r. Mccoy, said the
reporters would have to clear out
In minutes.
The room where the trial is be-
ing held-an assembly hall where
FBI agents hear lectures-has been
heavily curtained to prevent any
one who might escape the guards
in the corridor from even peeking
in on the proceedings.
Drapes Hide Blinds.
The room is rectangular, about so
feet long and 20 feet wide. The
Venetian blinds on its windows are
closed and covered with heavy green
draperies. The glass doors and pan
els opening on the hall also are
covered. All light is artificial.
At the far end of the room sits the
trial commission. The backdrop is
a huge green curtain which covers
a motion picture screen. Behind
Gen. Mccoy is an American flag,
flanked by two brilliant torcheres.
The witness stand is at the left
of the trial commission-a plain
chair on a small platform.
Flanking the long table at which
the judges sit are two other long
tables, forming a U. The prosecu-
ton counsel, which includes Attor-

was repeated at the second door.
Finally the newspaper men reached
Gen. Cox, who greeted them in the
corridor just outside the trial room.
He told them what they could and
could not do inside.
What you can observe with your
own eyes you can print" he said.
And no questions are to be asked
in the court room"
Questions Asked, However.
But questions were asked in the
court room and Gen. Cox obligingly
answered them. He named each of
the Saboteurs, from right to left
as they sat in their chairs, and gave
the names of others in the room.
The II reporters represented press
associations and newspapers that
have had representatives regularly
assigned to the trial. They were

With these cards, the newspaper
