from Central in June, he said, and
thinks having plane named after
him would be q good luck omen.
All the District high schools have
been participating in the model
plane program since March, 1912
Under Woodshop' instructors like
Joseph Wilson of Central the boys
have copied Allied and Axis planes
down to the last detail. The models
are then used to train naval pilots
to recognize their own and enemy
craft.
The son of a photographer, Joe
is also interested in photography
and hopes to be sent to a Navy pho
tographic school. Choosing between
being plane mechanic and a pho
tographer has been hard for him
he said. but he has finally settled
on the latter.
Honors have been coming close to-
gether for the Tenschert family at
l44O Meridian place NV. Joe's
brother William, II, Thursday night
won honorable mention at the close
of the Corcoran School of Art fol-
his work in sculpture class.

Natural Gas Pipeline
From Southwest Approved

By the Associated Press.
A 1,200-nile natural gas pipe line
running from the Southwest to the
Appalachian manufacturing area
was approved by the War Produc-
ton Board today which said it must
be built" by the winter of 1944-45.
WLB advised the Federal Power
Commission it would approve mate
rials for the pipe line as soon as
the commission decides which of two
applicants will build the line.
The Tennessee Gas & Transmits
sion Co. has an application to builo
line from Corpus Christi, Tex, to
terminal point at Cornwall Station,
w. Va. The Hope Natural Gas Co.
has applied for permission to build
line from the Hugoton field of
Kansas and Oklahoma to the same
terminal.
WPB said neither line has any
substantial advantage over the other
in requirements for critical mate
rials and equipment. Either would
require about 215,000 tons of steel.
The completed line will be either
% or 24-inch. Present estimates call
for delivery of about 00,000,000 Gu
bic feet day from either line.
Either can be stepped up to 300, ,000,-
600 daily If needed.

talks and said they would give the
President his first opportunity to
talk with these other participants in
the Canadian meeting on their own
home grounds
Particular interest was attached
to the visit of DR.. Soong, inasnuch
as the Quebec plans called for a
stepping-up of the warfare in the
Pacific theater under Lord Louis
Mountbatten. who will head up A
newly-created Allied Asiatic COM
mand.
Upon leaving the White House,
DR.. Soong said that he was .just
rounding up my talks with the
President after the discussions they
had in Quebec.
Asked If he could comment on the
general nature of the conversation
today, the Chinese Foreign Minister
laughed and told newsmen, you

He said he heard nothing from

The Secretary of State opened his
press, conference, without waiting
for questions, by reading the follow
ing statement:
Il do not ordinarily take notice
of attacks made either on the State
Department or myself. When these
attacks, however, concern our rela-
tions with an Allied government
must take notice of them.
Il am informed that recently Drew
Pearson published over the radio
and in the press the charge that I
and other high officials in the State
Department are opposed to the
Soviet government and that we
actually wish the Soviet Union to be
bled white.
Il desire to brand these statements
as monstrous and diabolical false
hoods"
Last week Mr.. Hull said in state
ment which did not name indi-
viduals that some writer's and COM
mentators were lending aid ana
comfort to the enemy" by making
untrue statements about interna-
tional relations of the United States.
Mr., Pearson, commenting on the
Secretary's statement, said:
Il hope that Mr.. Hull's denial of
my charge that he is Russian
will stand up better than his recent
