Around Hollywood

Hollywood (U.R) An air
plane labeled, "The Spirit of St.
Louis" takes to the skies this
week for that
famous flight
across the At
lantic but
this time it will
travel in
pieces.
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."

Publishers Break Up Scienti
Book Pirating Racket in Japan
Tokyo U.P.) 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.

by page and printed from nhoto
offset plates.
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.
