The first, which was discardets after # careful examination, was that he might have fallen three times, striking +his head in the different places where the contusions appeared.

He also said the mature of the injuries definitely eliminated the possibility that :hns‘boy might have been run down by tmote & > ' A second theery advanced by police was that some unknown enemy might have enticed Galentine into an auto- amobile and “taken him for a ride,” the fatal assault occurring some distance -from his home. - The fact that his felt hat is missing lends some credence to this theory in police judgment. ' Another fact which is held to fi:?u.hen this theory is that Galen- s clothing was wet on one side, {but not muddy, as though he had been in a pool of water on a paved |street.

ARLINGTON SITES HIT BY MACCRACKEN Aero Leaders Say Room for Expan- sion Would Be Lacking in Bingham Plan. Consideration of airport legislation for the National Capital took a new turn this afternoon when Senator Van- denberg, Republican of Michigan, of- fered a resolution calling for the ap- pointment of a special committee of seven Senators to make a study of the problem from the standpoint of the needs of various Federal activities as well as the municipal requirements of Washington. Believing that the question of an air- port concerns a number of different Senate committees, Senator Vandenberg proposes to have the investigating com- mittee made up as follows: The chair- man of the District subcommittee of the Senate appropriations committee, Senator Bingham of Connecticut, and one Senator each from the committees on military affairs, naval affairs, com- merce, District of Columbia, post offices and postroads, and appropriations. ‘These members would be appointed by the Vice President, and Senator Bing- ham would be chairman. The Vandenberg resolution will be referred to the Senate District commit- tee for a report before it is acted upon by the Senate. Senator Vandenberg is chairman of the subcommittee which has been handling airport questions for the Senate District committee. Urgency of Facilities. ‘The purpose sought to be accomplish~ ed by this new resolution is outlined in the following preamble: “Whereas, it is vital to the resources of the Capital of the United States that its airport facilities should be adequate for present and anticipated aviation needs in-order that Washington’s equip- ment in this respect should serve max- imum Capital requirements and reflect the Capital’s national leadership, and, ““Whereas, this important problem in- volves not only municipal facilities, but also Federal facilities and a proper con- sideration of the relationship between them. and, “Whereas, comprehensive inquiry and study of such ports and fields as may be feet or more back of the building line of the nearest street, and if abutting or opening directly upon a public alley.” ‘The zoning changes which will considered at the hearing are: » Area Changes Considered.

Between 7:30 and 8 o'clock he got up and sald he was going out for a walk to get a little fresh air. It was foggy outside, and he started down the hill toward an undeveloped section at the end of the street. “His sister was just finishing the dishes, so it must have been about 9 o'clock when we heard him coming up the walk. One of the boys went to the door and he staggered in, dazed and covered with blood. We asked him about the blood, but he couldn't say enything except that he was ‘just wak- ing up.’ “His father took him upstairs and bathed his head in some cold water. ‘This seemed to revive him a little and he said he was feeling better, but still he was unable to tell us what had hap- pened to him.

Bingham Plan Approved. Opposition to the proposal of Senator Bingham, chairman of the District ap- propriation subcommittee of the Senate appropriations committee, that the De- {partment of Agriculture experimental farms and Hoover Field be taken over and combined to form an airport, was vo?;ed today by aeronautical leaders Flying people declare that there are many objections to the Arlington farms site, chiefly because of its limited size and the impossibility of further ex- pansion. This site was carefully studied in connection with the airport survey, they said, and after thorough delibera- tion, was rejected in favor of the Grav- elly Point site, development of which is provided for in the Stalker bill, which is expected to come to a vote in the House late this afternoon. Opposition to the Arlington farms proposal was led by William P. Mac- Cracken, jr., Assistant Secretary for Aeronautics, who has taken a leading part in the campaign for an adequate airport for the Capital. . Gravelly Point Favored. “We have studied the airport question from every possible angle” Mr. Mac- Cracken said today, “and have gone into the matter very thoroughly. Grav- elly Point has been agreed upon as the most suitable area obtainable, and nothing has occurred since that selec- ‘was made to change the situation. “There are a great many more ob- Jections to the Hoover Field site than there are to the Gravelly Point site. Of course, the site suggested by Sena- tor Bingham could be developed as a flying field if money were expended, but it never could be made as large as the Gravelly Point area and I am convinced that if the Arlington area were selected, the choice would be sin- cerely regretted in the future.” Allen M. Smythe, chairman of the airport committee of the Aero Club of ‘Washington, chapter of the National Aeronautic Association, stated that the area available by combining Hoover Field and the farms would be inade- quate for a first-class airport. “There are only 80 acres available for use in both tracts,”” Mr. Smythe said, “and the usefulness of a part of this small area is destroyed by poor approaches from the West. These 80 acres form the absolute limit of ex- pansion beyond which the field couldl not_grow. “That this area is absolutely insuffi- cient is shown by the experience of Cleveland, which is operating a 1,100- acre airport and which is now looking for two more fields of the same size to handle the aerial traffic already existing. “The first unit at the Gravelly Point site, will comprise 225 acres, with good approaches from every direction and their aid, the final audit of the funds raised by the Washington Community Chest probably will not be available for several days, it is announced.

There are 900 acres available for development im- mediately.” Henry Berliner, who formerly oper- ated Hoover Field as a commercial flying field and now is head of an airplane menufacturing plant at Alexandria, Va., was outspoken in his condemnation of the proposal made by Senator Bing- m. “Four independent airport commit- tees were appointed to look over the va- rious sites in and around the District of, Columbia, as possible municipal air- port locations,” he sald. ‘“These four committees, after independent and thorough study of all possible locations, all came to the conclusion that Gravelly recommendation require simultaneous | CHANGES SOUGHT 10 MAKE TRAFFIC LAW MORE ELASTIC Capper Offers Amendments Which Would Give More Discretion to Court. JURY TRIAL DEMAND DUE TO HEAVY PENALTY Compulsory Sentence for Third Offense Speeding Would Be Removed. Amendments to the District traffic law to give the court more discretion in the penalties imposed for first of- fense driving while intoxicated, and second offense reckless driving, and a change in the penalties for third offense speeding, are provided for in a bill introduced in the Senate by Chair- man Capper of the District committee. In cases of first offense foz driving while intoxicated and second offense for reckless driving, the court would be glven discretion to impose either a fine or jail sentence, but in all subsequent cases the jail sentence would apply. Compulsory Jail Sentence. Under existing law, the jail sentence is compulsory for first offenses for driv- ing and for third offenses for speeding. With regard to the charge of speeding, 1 the Commissioners told Senator Cap- per, the jail sentence is compulsory on the third offense, even though the other offenses occurred years apart. It was felt by the Commissioners that the maximum penalty for third offense speeding should be limited to offenses committed within a period of one year, and that it be left to the discretion of the court as to whether or not the offenders should be sent to jail in addi- tion to being fined. “Under the present law,” the Com- missioners said, “it is difficult to secure conviction on third offense of speed- ing because it is apparently felt that a compulsory jail sentence in some cases is entirely too severe. Demand for Jury Trials. “Owing to the compulsory jail sen- tence for first offense for driving while intoxicated and second offense for reckless driving, most offenders arrested on these charges ask for jury trials. Experience has shown that it is difficult to secure conviction on account of the compulsory jail sentence. It is be- lieved that the ends of justice would be served if heavy fines were imposed for !first offenses and the permit canceled, as now provided by law, and that the jail sentence apply only to repeaters, except in the discretion of the court.” UNIVERSITY WOMEN’S FUND DRIVE ADVANCES Gifts Total $430,000 in Campaign for $1,000,000 to Endow 30 Research Fellowships. Subscriptions and pledges ranging from $1 to $1,000 have been received by the Washington Branch of the Amer- ican Association of University Women toward the $1,000,000 fellowship fund which the organization 1is raising through a Nation-wide appeal to endow 30 new research fellowships for women. Gifts to the fund from all over the country have already reacned $430,000. Impetus was given to tne drive last week by the visit to the club headquar- ters at 1634 I street of Miss Charlotte Young, who is the first woman to re- ceive one of the new Rhodes traveling fellowships. Miss Young, who has a master of arts degree from Aberdeen and Oxford Universities, is a fellow and tutor at Somerville College at Oxford University. Speaking of the new Rhodes fellow- ships, which have recently been founded under the Rhodes Trust, Miss Young said, “Cecil Rhodes desirea to give op- portunities to men who by reason of their moral courage and generous love of their fellow men would feel im- pelled to take a part in bettering the social and political conditions of their time. To qualify such men for their tasks the Rhodes fellowships enable them to live for six months in every year for three years in one of the most ancient and famous seats of learning in the world, where they can meet other students from all over the English- urcnking world in the intimate condi- ions of college life and for the other six months to travel and study in any part of Europe.” “The new pfizllowships." Miss Young continued, “are founded m the same liberal spirit, They are to enable men and women who are already familiar with Oxford life through having taught there for at least five years, to visit the newer English-speaking world.” Miss Young, who is the first woman to receive one of these fellowships which brlmi‘ British students to America, said she had wished to come to the United States “to see what is characteristic and best in the life of a great and powerful country with immense opportunities and responsibilities for developing its own civilization and greatly influencing the civilization of the Point was the logical site for a model alrport. h‘-":‘(Bt’nulelly Point first was proposed two and one-half years ago. Since that time every one interested in the ques- tion has had the fullest possible oppor- tunity to examine other sites. This has been done and yet we sooner or later get back to the inevitable—Gravelly Point. Hoover Field Inadequate. “The Hoover Field site could be de- veloped as a temporary airport, of There are no facilities for the landing of large flying boats in the river at Hoover Field. The construction of the Arlington Memorial Bridge is adding an obstacle to those already existing around the field. It would be very difficult for a heavily loaded plane to get up over that bridge when it is completed. “I had Hoover Field at the time the airport committees were making their surveys, and even though it would have been decidedly to my advantage to have Hoover Field selected and developed, I could not conscientiously recommend it and so stated to the members of the committees. “One of those committees was ex- ceptionally able, including in its mem- bership Maj. - W.

The program of production of new small-sized per money now has reached the fpoint where a total of about 1,200,000 bills are being printed daily at the Bureau' of Engraving and Printing, 99 per cent of whose activity now is centeredfon this new currency program. The Yureau is on the increase with its small foney turnout, and is adding to its deliveries of completed money almost 100,000 bills a day. T: e peak of production in prepara- tlg for issuing the small bills to the public next July, is expected to be réached by the bureau within the next tavo months. / According to Alvin W. Hall, director fof the bureau, the only large-sized paper money now being printed includes orders for the Federal Reserve Banks, and these are expected to be cleared away shortly. This means that virtually the entire personnel of 4,700 employes of the money printing plant now are in- volved in turning out the new small size bills which the general public has not yet seen, but which will be thrown into general circulation throughout the Na- tion early in July. ‘The Bureau has piled up at the pres- ent time a total of approximately 16,- 000,000 notes of the small size, and before the first of July, which is the beginning of the fiscal year, it is ex- cted more than 650,000,000 bills will ve been completed. The entire series of denominations has not yet been put on the press, it was explained, but all of the popular sized notes, including the ones, twos, fives, tens and twenty-dollar bills now are under production.
