& YOUNGER HOOVER STARTS NEW J0B/2 Becomes Technical Assistant to Air Line President in Charge of Radio. BY ROBERT MACK. “I suppose I will be general handy man and office boy about the place.” In these words Herbert Hoover, jr., radio amateur, described what he con- strues will be the nature of his work with the Western Air Express, Inc., of Los Angeles. Today young Hoover begins his serv- ices with that company as technical as- :xtfunt to its president, Harris M. Han- e. Radio and aviation from the tech- radio since his early youth. Herbert, ir, is no' 25. Radio hone communications for alreraft, du ined to be of utmost im- portance in the devel nt of m— merchl aviation in this country, e speclalized nem of thc President~ elect’s son. The go! one of the ploneers in the flel nf commercis aeronautics, will intrust to Hoover iu communications work. He is already Icttve in this new mode of radio con- tact, In Capital Recently. uu than two weeks ago the junior Hoover was in Washington attend- inc the civil airways communications conference, which had as its pu the co-ordination of radio communica- tion between air transport companies | Co. and with the airways division of the Commerce Department. He was designated a member of the Airways operations committee, to repre- sent the company with which he is now affiliated. This committee will formu- late the plans for a private co-operative chain of radio stations to communicate with their aircraft while in flight, and will co-ordinate its activities with those of the Commerce Department in the scfl.lng up of a network that will serve as a “feeder” to the commercial project. A radio “ham” of long standing, young THE EVENING is an engineer and a graduate of Le- lnna Stanford University. The senior Mr. Hoover is a graduate of the same university with the same degree. The President-elect’s thorough will | knowledge of radio and the interest he has manifested in it, in no small degree, are attributed to the amateur expvrl- mentations of his eldest son. Herbert, ir., believes a career in the two newest of the arts, radio and aviation, is promis- ing. He always has taken to mechanical things, according to those close to the Hoover family. With typical Hocver modesty, he does not like to discuss h work or himself, Leaves Harvard Post. As the junior Mr. Hoover takes over his new duties with the Air Transport he leaves the Business School of Harvard University, where he had held a professorship under the Guggenheim fund for the promotion of aeronautics. After he was graduated from Stanford he took a post-graduate course in busi- ness administration at Harvard, and subsequently accepted the professorship. All of young Mr. Hoover's radio ex- perience has been of an amateur nature. He spent one entire Summer—that of 1921—at the radio laboratory of the Bureau of Standards.
