IStrict Rules to Govern Flights
IOf Model Planes in Big Show

National Capital Model Air Show
Association are proud that the
meet ut Andrews Air Force Base
has received official ANA sanction.
This was formally announced yes
terday and the coveted certificate
was handed over TO Waldo T.
Nichols, show association presi-
dent, by Russell w. Nichols. execu-
tive director Of ANA.
Records to BE Offieial.
The granting of this sanction
means that the show will be con-
Quoted according to the ofncial
rules and any record perform
ances made there will be eligible
for certification by ANA as Of
ficial national records.
ANA Is q non-profit organiza-
ton with national headquarters
at 1925 Connecticut avenue NV.
1t was formed in 1894 by q group
of men who believed model plane
activity would foster scientific ad-
vancement and give recognition to
superior achievement. ANA Is
afiliated with the National Aero
nautic Association. which Is the
recognized governing body of full
scale aeronautical sporting ac-
tivity in this country.
In short. every one connected
with model aeronautics. including
the several hundred contestants
in the meet, are under ANA juris-
diction.
Its benefits will be much in evil
dence. Take. for example, It's ar
rangement for retrieving lost
model planes. Occasionally. dur
ing a meet, the little craft are
lost. ANA therefore urges that
all people living in the vicinity Of
Andrews help the young people by
being on the alert to return lost
models which may land on their
property or call the airbase so
that arrangements to return the
planes can be made.
Has Registry Bureau.
ANA also has a special National
Motor Registry Bureau to aid the
contestant. Without charge 1t will
record the ownership OF his en-
gines by make and serial number
to aid recovery In event Of theft
or out-of-sight flights. The organ
ization has data on at least 5000
model motors in the bureau files
at headquarters here.
Such behind the scene precision
arrangements will help make q
better model plane show for the
huge crowd expected to attend.
The show is free to the public.
The Star is sponsoring the meet
together with the National Airport
Club and Veterans Of Foreign Wars
In association with the Plymouth
Dealers Of Metropolitan Washing
ton. Prospective contestants still
may obtain entry blanks from the
auto dealers or at any hobby shop
in Washington or vicinity.

IT'S TOO DANGEROUS

When President Truman told the members of the electoral college he favors keeping the college as is he may have been only polite. One doesn't after all drop in at friends home for dinner and tell him is preparing to have him declared obsolete the next day.
 Even politeness though, the Presidential stand isn't good Discreet silence the subject would have been far preferable For the fact is that the electoral college is not only obsolete but downright dangerous
 President Truman should know that better than most. He reminded the electoral-colege dinner, jok- ingy of the way radio broadcasters were missing fire the night of Nov ?. Even when MT. Truman was piling up a commanding lead, some network pundts were warning that the whole election might have to 20 to Congress-; it seemed the Democratic nominee might fall short of an electoravote majority in spite of his popular vote.

MORRIS SAYS:

This would be grand and glor- ious old world if we didn't have to work between meals. But things are picking up; the snow is going fast, and we have two summers and only one winter ahead of us. We sold two boats today, and working on three other orders. Also, the lawmakers stirred up a batch of trouble for the predatory animals by raising the bounty on them. This should have been done long ago. The other day, a wolf was heard say ing to coyote: What are you yapping about? The price on your scalp was only raised ten bucks
 where ours was doubled. We have real howl coming. A hair. seal who was listening in, said You guys won't be doing all the dodging our noses are worth twice as much as they used to be. That's what we get for sticking it into the Game and Wildlife business. Nc doubt the trappers and hunters will bag more of these killers. If you are a fair shot and have good boat, there should be some nice profits in trying. There are two things you should remember: You can't always depend on our Alaska weather being good, but you can depend on Morris-built boats. They have everything it takes to make them seaworthy. They are staunch in construction, yet light and are adapted to outboard motors, yet they will row good in pinch, All seams are glue joints. fastened with screws and the famous Weld wood Glue glue that is in soluble when properly cured in a warm place.

Statehood "Grab-bag" Made Plainer
(Ketchikan News)

tketcnlKan NeWS)
 The "grab-bag" pattern of the Democrats for statehood is becoming clear.
 They want to give Alaskans mere skeleton. We would pay the piper for mere shadow and leave the rich pickings to the Federal bureaus.
 For instance, press report says Bartletts bill provides the State would be given four sections of land from each of it's townships with title for the remainder resting in the hands of the Federal gov ernment. Even A. L. Miller, R., of Nebraska, said he would like to give the new State more land.
 Then on top of it all, Senators Rivers and Peratro- vch introduce a bill in the Alaska Legislature to appropriate S800OO for 11-man commission with three ex-offcio members to spend it by holding con- stitutional convention. The Governor will make the appointments.
 In the first place, Alaska should have full state hood rights without lot of Federal redtape strings being attached.
 In the second place. a constitutional convention should not be held until such statehood is granted
 Every patriotic organization in Alaska should get on the ball and demand full statehood rights for Alaska. We do not want the name without the game.
 Aaskans have always been fighting people for their rights Are we lay down when the supreme test comes?
 We can get rid of left-wing machine politicians, but once the wrong kind statehood is fastened on us we have recourse.
