News in Brief: Washington, Truman Makes Air Awards. At the annual meeting of the Aero Club, President Harry Truman stresses the need for continued military build-up, presents awards for contributions to aviation. At large black-tie banquet, Truman hands out awards to John Stack (?) of Langley Aeronautical Laboratories; Major General Lucas Beau (I think the VO mispronounced it as "Bean"); General James "Jimmy" Doolittle.
