Bv EDWARD CHAPIN
Although no official records were broken, spectators saw three crashes at the Sundusters' model airplane contest held Sunday in an open field two miles south of Lawrence.
A sailplane, an old Curtiss bi-plane, and a rubber-powered model were listed as casualties. Handicapped by high winds, most of the
15 contestants arrived early and began testing their models in the tricky currents. Many of the planes were equipped with "de thermalizers," units which automatically cause the tail to pop up at a set time and at such an angle that the plane is forced to the ground.
Kenneth E. Dougan, engineering junior, entered the Lumber Wagon, a sailplane of his own design. The plane has a wing span of 6 feet and was built for endurance rather than speed.
In July, at the National Air meet in Olathe, Dougan placed second in the class D freeflight contest. He also won sixth place in class B and seventh in the payload contests. At the Plymouth Air meet in Kansas City, Mo., Dougan won first in both class B and C freeflight. He has been a member of the Sundusters' club for three years.
Ivan Hird, anatomical technician for the School of Medicine, watched his Berkeley Curtiss sportster nose over about 200 feet and spin to the ground. After surveying the damage, Hird decided he could salvage the gas engine.
Jack Jella, a University student in 1947, entered a sailplane in the contest, but it became entangled in telephone wires. Forming a human pyramid with the help of two other Sundusters, Jella dislodgee the plane with a long stick. Later in the contest after the plane was repaired, it was caught in an updraft and lost from sight.
E. C. Stimpson, engineering senior,
entered a hand launch glider made
of solid balsa in the contest. The
glider weighed 1 ounce and had a
wing span of 16 inches. Stimpson
has also built several tow-line
gliders.
Wain Scholfield, education senior, flew a rubber-powered model that also met with disaster. Caught near the ground by a sudden gust of wind, the plane was demolished while landing. Scholfield is an instructor for a class in model building at the community center in Lawrence.

James E. Griswold, engineering freshman, has constructed three wire-control planes for high-speed and stunt exhibition. One reached a speed of 113 miles per hour. Griswold did not enter any planes in the contest.

Japanese Drive Charcoal Burners, Malone Reports

Fieldhouses To Be Visited
Dr. F. C. Allen, professor of physical education, Joseph Wilson, business manager of the University and George M Beal professor of architecture plan to visit university fieldhouses in preparation for a K U. fieldhouse.
At a meeting Monday in the office of T. DeWitt Carr, dean of the school of engineering, eight plans for fieldhouses were studied and it was decided that construction types and sizes should be studied by investigating such places including North Carolina state, Minnesota university, Michigan state and the Hershey Chocolate company fieldhouse at Harrisburg, Pa.
Two tentative locations for the fieldhouse are southwest of Lindley hall and south of the power house on or near the intramural field.
Fire School Expects 300

One of three American professors the faculty of the Midwest semi- which was held at Copenhagen, Dr. Ise studied human needs in the st-war society.

problems of public man-
agement the Bank of Japan. The Bank of Japan holds approximately the same relationship to the Japanese government as does the treasury department to the United States, he explained.
For taxi service the Japanese used a three-wheel model of the bicycle-built-for-two. These novel taxis delivered ice and grocerys. Professor Malone said he even saw one tooting a piano.
"What impressed me the most about the Japanese was the simple way they furnished their homes" commented Professor Malone. "They didn't clutter up your rooms with several pictures or elaborate furniture. Rather, they had one thing of beauty in each room. I had dinner at the home of the governor of the Bank of Japan. His home was probably one of the finest in Tokyo, yet the dining room was void of ornamentation except for the centerpiece on the table, a bouquet of roses frozen in a block of ice.
"All the Japanese I met were worried about the one million a year increase in their population. Japan has now in an area less than twice the size of Kansas a population 40 times as great. How to support that many people in that small a space is Japan's biggest headache."
The average industrial wage in Japan is between $30 and $40 a month, Professor Malone explained. The people consequently eat very little high-priced food, such as the peaches selling at $3.60 a dozen. Rice and fish, which are very cheap, make up the bulk of the diet of the Japanese, Professor Malone said.
"Besides reading from right to left the Japanese have many other customs that are the opposite of ours," he said. "Their version of the golden rule is 'Don't do to anyone else what you don't want him to do to you.' They consider it poor manners if you don't make as much noise as you can when eating soup. While we hiss the movie villian in Japan the hiss is a sign of respect."
Professor Malone was a guest at an eight-course dinner that began with saki, a Japanese wine, and ended with halves of small pears. The dinner lasted two and one-half hours, Professor Malone commented.
Journalism Women Pick Alumnae Advisor
