The time could be 1927, the year Char les Lindbergh made the hop that made him a world hero. A "Spirit of St. Louis," bright, shiny and new, sits on the near by Orange County airport. But mountings f,or movie cam eras are attached to the side of the small plane. Mantx Hired The original aging "Spirit of St. Louis" still reposes in the Smithsonian Institute in Wash ington, D.C. For the Jimmy Stewart movie about Lindbergh's flight, "The Spirit of St. Louis," Warner Studio hired famed movie stunt pilot and aircraft expert Paul Mantz to produce an exact replica. Lindberg. sold the story to Warner's on the insistence it be technically correct," Mantz ex plained today as he led a tour of the movie plane. "So we had to dig up the CAA records of every plane like Lindbergh's that had ever been registered." Three Months Work It took Mantz and his staff three months to run down the tion and are enjoying the fish ing with some good catches. Mrs. Lizzie Tucker, Ashland, and Mrs. Violet Ditsworth, Port land, are the house guests of their brother and sister-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Vaughn on Laurelhurst rd. fate of all Ryan B-2s that had been made. He discovered two extant both privately owned, in Moscow, Ida., and Battle Creek, Mich. One hadn't been used for so long Mantz had to sweep out birds' nests from the cockpit. The two planes one the "star" and the other a stand-in- were rebuilt by Mantz to be "within a quarter of an inch exactly like Lindbergh's plane." He used photographs arid cut away drawings of Lindbergh's own craft. Same Equipment Used Even a wicker seat like Lindy's was put in the cockpit. The label on the propeller is identical: so is the periscope he used for looking sideways. The wheels and tires were made to order because the small size is unusual these days. Forty men worked 24 hours a day for near ly three months to re-build the planes. The bill for Warner's is $80,000. The planes will be shipped to New York this week in pieces be cause "it would take too long for them to fly on their own," Mantz says. There Mantz will put "The Spirit of St. Louis" together so cameramen can photograph it flying to Newfoundland. The plane will be shipped to Ireland and reassembled for more scenes on the continent. Stewart to Fly "Jimmy Stewart will fly the plane," added Mantz. "He was an Air Force officer, you know. We'll have a safety pilot hidden inside. "This plane is very difficult to fly. I flew east to visit Lindbergh this month. He told me if the air plane hadn't been such a poor flying machine he would have fallen asleep. But every time it would wiggle he'd wake up."

American andl ially annoying because the .Tananese nublishers have dis closed they have broken up a scientific book pirating racket tailored for the atomic age. They have induced Susumu Yamamoto, a former Japanese army officer, to stop copying and selling at bargain rates high ly technical American and Dutch books without permission. Yamamoto explained he had been copying the books partly because of "my great passion for learning." "Also," he said, "Japanese scientists need the books." "They are poor and they missed out on a lot of scientific developments during the war," Yamamoto said. "They must catch up, but they can't afford to buy the expensive American editions." Copies Technical Books He has been copying the tech nical books and encyclopedias of eight leading publishers. They include Interscience Pub lishers, Inc., McGraw-Hill, John Wiley and Sons, Academic Press and Merck and Co. of the United States. The publishers found it espec- copies Yamamoto made were so good. He sold them at about 10 per cent of the authorized price. Yamamoto's method was to have them photographed page Judy Garland Misses Show Due To Laryngitis Seattle (U.R) Singing star Judy Garland was ordered to stay in bed Monday due to an attack of laryngitis and did not appear in either of her two scheduled performances at Civic Auditorium. About 5,000 persons were given their money back and about 500 chose to remain for each of the shows said Harry Glickman, Portland promoter who started the show. Miss Garland is scheduled to appear in Vancouver tonight and in Spokane tomorrow night. Glickman said he expected her to be able to fulfill both engagements.

Even title pages which said "Copyright in U.S.A." and "Printed in the U.S.A." were faithfully reproduced. Racket Investigated Dr. Maurits Dekker, president of Interscience Publishers of New York City, flew here in be half of his own and other Amer ican companies to investigate and end the racket. He found that Yamamoto, a 35-year-old commercial school graduate, was specializing in such highly technical fields as micrometrics, chromatography, fractional distillation and the nucleic acids. He said the Japanese copies were so good that his own print ing superintendent' asked for technical details of the Japanese printing methods. Yamamoto's latest project was to reprint the "Encyclopaedia of Chemical Technology" which Dekker's company is publishing. The firm has put out the first 13 of 15 planned volumes. When Dekker got here 10 days ago Yamamoto was already up to volume eight. WRONG DELIVERY Columbus, O. (U.R) State Treasurer Roger W.
