used during the past war.
Scrapping of planes and disposal
through the War Assets Admins
tration already has made it difficult
for the Navy to locate certain of the
early war models needed to COM
plete the museums collection.
Planes will be preserved and kept
in the hangers of naval air stations
throughout the country until the
museum is constructed.
Dreamboat Still. Flying.
The Dreamboat, which flew 10000
miles nonstop from Hawaii to Cairo,
October 6, is still in operation by
the Army Air Forces, but has been
earmarked for the museum.
Altogether the 'AAF says it is
holding about 200 planes in store
for the contemplated museum. Most
of them are at Wright Field, Ohio.
The Advisory Board for the new
museum consists of Alexander Wet
more, secretary of the Smithson-
ian; Maj. Gen. E. M. Powers, As
sistant Chief of Staff Of the War
Department; Rear Admiral H. B.
Sallada, chief of the Bureau of Aero

Taber Slated 10 Name
D. {. Appropriations
Unit Head Shortly

Chairman Taber of the House
Appropriations Committee may pick
a chairman of the District subcom-
mittee to handle the supply bill for
the National Capital within a day
or two.
He said he was authorized by the
full committee at meeting yester-
day afternoon to make appoint
ments for all subcommittee, and
that he could do so without calling
another session of the full group.
The committee voted that its
hearings be closed, Chairman Taber
announced.
This was necessary" he ex-
planned, because We have not the
room space or committee space in
which to hold open hearings"
On the other side of the Capitol,
however, Chairman Bridges, of the
Senate Appropriations Committee,
recently announced hearings would
be open to the public. This also ap-
plies to hearings of the District sub
committee, according to its chair
man, Senator Dworshak, Republi-
can. of Idaho.
Speculation still pointed to the
possibility that Representative Ho-
ran, Republican, OF Washington,
would head the House District sub
committee, but it was apparent
there still is uncertainty over the
post. Mr. Taber said definitely he
had not made a selection. Mr.. Ho-
ran is in line of seniority on the
subcommittee, but other Republi-
cans outrank him on the full COM
mittee The District subcommittee
was not discussed at the meeting,
Mr. Taber said.
The only subcommittee selected so
far is that on the legislative budget,
Including Mr.. Taber, chairman;
Representatives Wigglesworth, of
Massachusetts, and Dirksen, of Illi-
nois, Republicans, and Cannon OF
