DISTRGT ARPORT STE IS DEBATED Joint Citizens’ Conference Considers Benning Racing Area. Discussion of a District airport site | occuplec. the Joini Conference of Northeast Citizens' Associations dur- ing most of their meeting at No. 12 precinct station last night. W. A. Driggers of the Kenilworth Citizens' Association brought in a re- port favoring the old Benning race track site. “We should not let the opinions of the so-called flying ex- perts influence our stand for an ade- quate airport,” he said. “We are the ones here in the District who will probably have to pay for it anyway.” Harry N. Stull, delegate from the Btanton Park Citizens’ Association, suggested private airlines should con- tribute to the acquisition and main- tenance of such a project. A. F. E. Scheer, delegate from Dahlgren Ter- race Citizens' Association, declared the PFederal Government should be asked to contribute. The question taken back to the as- sociations will be how much District taxpayers should contribute A. H. Gregory, Stanton Park, re- ported on a proposal to compel teach- JEWS FAVOR U. 5.

One of these also left his property to the wife, while the other named his son, Albert J. Sardo, jr., as bene- ficlary.

Mrs. Thomas died late Monday night in Charity Hospital. %23 A5 BOLTON SMITH, 74, SCOUT HEAD, DIES Vice President of National Council to Be Buried at Memphis, Tenn. Bolton Smith, 74, vice president of the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America and chairman of | the Advisory Commission on Inter- racial Activities, died today at his residence, 4000 Cathedral avenue. | Mr. Smith, also a member of the| | executive committee of the board of | trustees of George Peabody College | for Teachers and a trustee of the| | Brookings Institution here, was a! | prominent investment banker in| Memphis, Tenn., until his retirement in 1932, when he came to live in this city, to devote his time to the activ- ities of the Boy Scouts. He was a native of Indfanapolis. Dr. Harold G. Moulton, president of the Brookings Institution, said Mr. Smith was & member of the original board of trustees of the In- stitute of Economics established by the Carnegie Corporation in 1922, and after it became a part of the Brook- ings Institution in 1928 continued on the board of the institution. “He was greatly interested in the work of the institution,” Dr. Moulton said, “and his counsel was always con- structive and progressive, evidencing deep insight with reference to the great problems of the time.” Mr. Smith is survived by a son, Carlile Bolton-Smith, Washington at- torney, and a sister, Mrs. Van J. Weaver, of San Antonio, Tex. Funeral services will be conducted in Bethlehem Chapel of the Cathedral of Sts.

He| declared the District's need is mnot | for more play area, but for additional equipment and facilities. ~He asked delegates to prepare a list of needed equipment on playgrounds within their respective areas so a request may | be made of the Playgrounds Depart- | ment. The proposed House and Senate bills authorizing the Pennsylvania Railroad Co. to construct an overpass over New York avenue northeast to extend and maintain certain indus- trial sidetracks was opposed. HOUSE COMMITTEE SHELVES DISTRICT AIRPORT QUESTION (Continued From First Page) | Committee of the Washington, Board of Trade, by the full committee “I can tell you what he will say.” Nichols said. “We heard him and he wrote us one of the most insulting letters I have ever read, declaring, in effect. that if the subcommittee did not pick Gravelly Point, we were a bunch of nincompoops.” Representative Hull declared he wanted the subcommitiee hearings printed so the world could see “what & lot of backbiting people we have ir the District of Columbia.” He said the people of the District could not agree on any single airport site and that on the basis of their testimony, it would be hopeless to expect any congressional commitlee to agree. A motion by Representative Ellenbogen | of Pennsylvania that the committee go into executive session to continue the airport bill brought a storm of protest from other members. | Hull Wants Issue Aired. “I for one don't want anything to| do with the executive session on this matter for several reasons,” declared Representative Hull. “One of the! reasons is the panning we have gotten from the newspapers and the people | of the District. I won't stand for| that kind of bulldozing. I wouldn't stand for it back home and I won't take it here. We have been sub- Jected to all kinds of influences and, innuendoes, and I want this whole thing brought out into the open. I don’t want to conceal anything we have done or may do.” Ellenbogen withdrew his motion to proceed behind closed doors. In response to opposition to Mrs. Amelia Earhart Putnam being a mem- ber of the commission. Representative Nichols declared that if she were barred the Board of Trade and the Planning Commission also should be ruled off, because it has consistently favored Gravelly Point. She previ- ously had voiced an opinion favoring | Washington Airport, it was said. Members of the committee pointed | out that the only District represent- | ative provided for on the commission is a member of the Board of District Commissioners, probably the Engineer Commissioner. “You can't say that he is a repre- | sentative of the District,” declared Representative Dirksen. “He is not appointed by the people of the Dis- trict, and T understand that he is not even a resident of the District. We | should give the people of Washington a greater representation in these mat- | ters. Meanwhile, Senator Gibson, Repub- | lican, of Vermont, author of the local airport legislation in the Senate, said today he still firmly believes Gravelly | Point is the most desirable location. | The stand of the National Capital | Park and Planning Commission for | Gravelly Point was reaffirmed in a Jetter sent to Chairman Randolph yesterday afternoon by Frederic A. Delano, chairman of the commission and uncle of President Roosevelt. = = — COFFELT'S "aever faili Coloring has brought happi- Bess to thousands of men and women in twenty-ine years since its discovery.

Public Works Funds Sought To Remove School Fire Trap Armstrong High Menace Created by Overcrowding Corridor—$45,000 Needed. Elimination of a potential fire trap | that is a dailv menace to the safety of pupi's on the second floor of Arm- strong High School, O street b>tween First and Thivd streets, is sought in the Beard of Eduration’s request for $45,000 of public works funds for con- struction of a corridor and remodeling of the gymnasium \r ng is built in three units of equal . each being constructed at a different period to meet needs as the enrollment increased. When the last of these was erected, however, no corridor was provided cn the P street s'de of the building on the second floor. As a result, pupils in that end of the second floor are compelled to walk to the O street end to find an exit In order to relieve this “pocket.” the new corridor is necessary, but to con- | struct it the size of the gymnasium must be reduced. Consequently. funds | are asked for remodeling that part of the building also. Crowding Increases Menace. The fire menace is increased at Armstrong because of the crowding of pupi's. The three units of the build- ing were planned to accommodate ap- proximately 1.200 pupils. Five single- Toom portable schools have been placed on the school grounds to care for as much of the overflow as pos- sible, and still the school has an ex- cess load of more than 250 pupils. The enrollment there this month totaled 1461. With this overcrowding. disaster is invited in case of fire, since the sec- ond-floor pupils will be compelled to go almost a block within the build- | ing to reach an exit at the same time that other pupils also may be using | the same passageway. In the same list a second item of $70,000 has been asked for Armstrong | High School to extend the size of the | automobile repair shop and to con- | struct & second gymnasium room. At present the repair shop, which is used by both day and night schools for | vocational training, has a capacity of only seven automobiles, and much needed mechanical equipment is crowded out. Addition Would House 15 Cars. The addition, as tentatively planned, would permit the housing of 15 cars at one time and allow for installa- tion of new machines required to give the pupils the mechanical training they need for a profitable trade. The gymnasium is needed badly at present, but if the corridor on the sec- ond floor is constructed, that need will be increased. At present, 6Gl girls and 800 boys alternately use the lim- ited gymnasium. If the new one is | provided, the present facilities will be | turned over to the girls and the new larger one will go to the boys.

The two units now are connected | only through the old auditorium, so that during any assembly, pupils either have to go outside the building to pass between wings or disturb what- ever gathering is using the audi- | torium. | The money necessary for this im- provement nas been estimaicd at $10,000. This sum will be adequate, officials believe, to construct a cor- | ridor and to replace the tiny stage in the auditorium with one adequate Another item of $7,500 has been asked to provide a room for cleaning and dyeing classes at the Margaret Murray Washington Vocational School North Capitol and First streets.
