...President Roosevelt received Colonel Charles Augustus Lindbergh, reporting in Washington for two weeks' active duty with the Army Air Corps, discussed the world's military plane situation...

Artist Berdecio works with an air-compressing machine and a spray gun of the common industrial type (same principle as an atomizer), using not ordinary Duco enamel but a similar nitrocellulose paint. It has taken him six years, since he first started work with Siqueiros in Mexico City, to train his trigger finger to its present...
