Aircraft Spoilers
To Get Aid Of Ships
BY the Associated Press

RICHMOND, Nov. 2O.-The
air defense filter center here has
announced the first organized
effort in the country to utilize
coastwise ships as aircraft
spoilers.
Some $50 vessels, including
pleasure craft, commercial fish
ermen and coastal freighters
are signed up for the project. A
center spokesman said 400 YES

CarolinaS are expected to be

craft, they will contact the filter
centers in Trenton, N. j., Balti-
more or Richmond by means of
radio-telephone.
The reports will be followed
on the filter center'S plotting
board to determine course,
speed and altitude of the sighted
aircraft. When necessary, the
filter center here can request the
air defense command at Langley
Air Force Base to send inter-
ceptors out to investigate and
identify the aircraft.
Officials said if the new sys-
tenn is successful here, it will be
adopted in other coastal regions.

Structural Changes Not Always Needed
In Remode|ing Office to Suit Your Job

would have been the expensive
way.
The architect decided in
stead to conceal the structural
defects rather than to get into
the costly job of removing
them. He determined to throw
emphasis upon good lines
mainly through the devices of
decoration and furnishings,
while keeping in mind that
the main purpose of an office
should be efficient operations.
Whoever designed the suite
originally was on the door,
happy side, for the small two
room office had two entrances
from the hall into one of the
rooms and an entrance from
the hall into the second room,
plus two doors giving access
from the one room to the
other.
The tenant didn't need all
those doors so the architects
first job was to hide them COM
pletely or make them incon-
spicuouS. .
The interior view of the
surplus doors into the hall
and that of a closet door were
concealed by draperies, but a
Evening star., 1953-10-10

different method was used for
the extra door between the
two rooms: It was turned into
a pasS-through that has come
to be one of the glories of
the office and its single most
efficient feature.
At his desk in the private
office the attorney occupying
the office can dictate a letter
through the pass through
opening without the stenog-
rapher leaving her own desk.
Or he can request a file and
have it handed through with
out all the usual business of
the stenographer traipsing
from one room to another to
deliver it.
The simple device that
makes this possible is merely
an opening left in the extra
door when it was boarded up
for most of its length with ply
wood facing. To afford privacy,
even the opening can be closed
with sliding plywood panels so
arranged in a system of sep
arate grooves, and wired to
pulleys, that they provide a
double sound barrier when in
closed position.

In the same way that one
can be a rag, a bone and
hank of hair, without the in
tegrity and other attributes or
articles that change these ba-
sic things into more glamorouS
stuff, so an office can be a
scuffed-up hovel that no one
wants to look at tWice-or it
can be a harmonious place of
inspiration, efficiency and even
beauty.
That's at least one way to
start off a story about how you
can inexpensively transform a
few bare walls into an attrac-
tive. Office suite that even the
most snooty secretary will be
proud to brag about to her
friends.
The magic in office-Suite
transformations at low cost
consists of two main pieces of
knowledge:
l. How to hide the bad spots.
2. How to use design to trans
form what's left so that it will
give a good impression.
Let's look at two-room suite
on which Architect j. P. Trou-
chaud recently performed a
bit of magic without any basic
remodeling at all. Mr.. Trou-
chaud didn't do it with mir
rors-but with paint, draperies,
lighting, and couple of other
small devices of his own de-
sign.
Starting out, the architect
found there we're too many
doors, too many windows,
closets located at the wrong
place, and a general lack of
simplicity in the structural
lines.
One way to have solved the
problem would have been to
tear out the interior and re-
build from scratch. That
