Huge Crowd Expected to Attend
Model Air Show Next Sunday
By Harry Laver
The National Capital Model Air
Show which will be held next Sun
day is considered in many quarters
to be the "world series" of model
aviation.
This is to be the third annual
running of the big show, which is
sponsored by The Star, National Air
port Club, Veterans of Foreign Wars
and the Civil Air Patrol.
The event, which will be held at
Andrews Air Force Base in nearby
Maryland, is expected to draw a
huge crowd.
To the Model Show Association,
it has been a long but successful
climb upward to the "world series"
status.
First Show In 1946.
Some of the trustees were among
those who originally helped organize
the first show in 1946. when the NAC
and The Star decided to help pro
mote model aviation and increase
youthful interest in aviation.
The organizers felt that the op
portunity offered to young people
to develop their various skills in
designing, constructing and flying
model planes would be beneficial to
the Individual competitors and turn
their attention toward a field in
which eventually many of them
might find an opportunity to estab
lish a real career.
The success of the first meet made
it apparent that the two original
sponsors required additional help in
handling the details of a project
of the magnitude that the National
Capital Model Air Show attained.
In 1947, therefore the Veterans of
Foreign Wars were asked to join
the partnership and the meet took
on added importance as a result.
CAP la Associate Member.
This year, the big show moves far
ahead with the addition of the
Civil Air Patrol which will make of
the meet at Andrews the CAP'S
National Championship.
The Air Show has been incorpo
rated as a non-profit organization
with the NAC, The Star, and the
VFW as the incorporators, and with
the CAP, as an associate member,
inasmuch as being a governmental
organization, it could not enter into
the incorporation.
Those desiring to enter the show
still may do so by securing appli
cation blanks at hobby shops in
Washington and vicinity. The blanks
also may be obtained at Plymouth
dealers in the District, nearby Vir
ginia and nearby Maryland.

Military Need for Oil
Called Very Urgent
fty th« Associated Press
The Armed Services Petroleum
Board Informed the oil Industry j
yesterday that the military need for
additional motor gasoline and avia
tion gasoline is “extremely urgent."
The board told the National Pe
troleum Council it hoped the oil in
dustry will provide prompt relief.
The petroleum board said the
motor gasoline shortage is the major
problem. The board is assured, it
said, of only 57 per cent of its gaso
line needs for August.
“The coverage in the Gulf-East;
Coast area is particularly low, and1
offers in this area are about 50 per
cent below those obtained in the;
previous six months," the council
said in a news release.
The petroleum Board estimated
armed services needs for motor gaso
line from July through December at
7.365.000 barrels. Offers total only
4.196.000 barrels.
The board said the armed services I
also are short, for the July-December
period, 2,393,000 barrels of aviation
gas, 1,035,000 barrels of Navy diesel
oil, 788.000 barrels of other diesel
and burner oil, and 1,735,000 barrels
of Navy special fuel oil.
