CTIVE preparations by a foreign power to establish seaplane banes in northern Aus. tralia have been discovered by a former naval officer engaged on aurvey work in the Gulf of Carpentaria, states a. message from Canberra.
Abandoned camps, bearing traces of the fact that they had been used for charting and mapping sites for seaplane anchorages, were dis- (covered on lonely parts of the const.

CRAVEN
A
DESIGN FOR SAFER GUN CONTROL ON AEROPLANES
A YOUNG man has started work on an invention he had
not touched for five weeks while he has been under arrest. He hopes it will benefit the British Government and make easier and safer gun-control on fighting planes.
Last month he stood in the dock at the Old Bailey and heard the judge bind him over for two years on a charge under the Official Secrets Act of retaining a note relating to the performance figures of-a-certain aircraft without right to do so.
He is Eric Joseph Gardner Camp (33), of Cottleigh Road, Kilburn- and he told a newspaper representative after the four years' efforts to perfect his invention,
"It is connected with the remote, control of aircraft gunnery," he said "My eagerness to perfect it seems to have led to this trouble.
"MY ONLY CRIME” "I was working on secret aircraft and I asked, quite openly, for in- formation from a colleague that would help me with my invention. He gave me it and I wrote it on a slip of paper and put it in my wallet. This is only cri
my
crime.

INVENTED A TOTALISATOR Mr. Camp was born in Highgate. At 16 he was
doing Jig and tool drafting for 13 firm.. He invented a greyhound totalisator and lost £2,000 subsequently. Then he went to India as an engineering assistant. He and his wife have been married 11 years and have a son and daughter.
"My future is
