ALLOY FOR PLANES
SPEEDING UP PLANNED CONTROLLER APPOINTED (British Official Wireless.) Reed. 9 a.m. RUGBY, May 6. With the rapidly expanding air force the British light alloy industry has had to undergo a violent expansion of nearly 20 times in order to meet factories’ requirements and although production has always been good, wellinformed London circles state that the Air Minister-, sir Samuel lioare, will not be satisfied until it has reached the highest possible level. It is considered that the appointment of Brigadier-General H. A. Jones as controller of light alloy will enable this to be accomplished more easily and to-day’s announcement of his nomination is received with gratification.
