Wash AIRPORT LEVELING MACHINES START WORK WEDNESDAY Contract for Construction Project to Be Let To- morrow. 100,000 SQUARE YARDS OF PAVING IS PLANNED Filling in Military Road to Be One of First Tasks—Runway to Be 4,200 Feet. The greatest single airport con- struction project in local air trans- | port history will get under way at ‘Washington Airport Wednesday morn- Ing, when grading and scraping ma- chines will start leveling off the field in preparations for laying nearly 100, 000 square yards of paved runways, taxi-strips and aprons, agcording to Samuel J. Solomon, airport manager. Awarding of the contract for the construction project, which involves a large amount of grading and drain- age construction, in addition to the paving, will be announced tomorrow, after a meeting at the airport of the Executive Committee of the National Airport Corp. In anticipation of enlargement of the transport loading apron in front of the field passenger terminal, the four air transport lines now operating from Washington Airort have discon- tinued the operation of their gaso- line pits, sunk below the ground sur- face near the present small loading platform. Servicing by Truck. The area in which these pits are located will become a part of the passenger terrace in front of the ter- minal building and the new loading apron will be carried out to a width of 150 feet. In the future all air- liners in need of refueling and serv- icing at the passenger ramp during local stops on through trips will be gerviced by truck. The first job to be undertaken by the contractor, Solomon explained, will be grading off high ground near the Military road underpass at the overhead crossing of the Rosslyn branch line of the Pennsylvania Rail- road and on the former Hoover Field, | 2djoining the Arlington experimental farm. Earth removed there will be used on lower portiorns of the field. The most extensive fill will be across the present Military road right of way, now nearly two feet below the level of the future 4,200-foot runway, which to cross the highway nearly at right angles. The fill across Military road will have a total width of 600 {eet, sloping up from the present road level to the center line of the long runway. 60 Days to Finish Work. Paving of the big passenger loading apron or ramp will be the first unit of the permanent surfacing job, Sol- emon said, and this work will be started within the next few days. Under the terms of the contract the contractor will be given 60 working days in which to complete the drain- age, grading and paving. The work must be carried on so as not to interfere with regular air trans- port operations at the airport, and the paving of the runways will be carried on in units, leaving at least three-fourths of the total runway length available for use at all times. During paving of the central por- tions of the runways, airliners are expected to land alongside the run- ways. JANE ADDAMS HONORED On the seventy-sixth anniversary of her birth, the memory of Jane Ad- dams, as a stanch proponent of world peace, was extolled yesterday by Wil- liam Manger, counselor of the Pan- American Union, and Miss Emma Wold in a program broadcast over Station WOL, under auspices of the Peoples’ Mandate to End War. . Lost Boy Confines Talk to Japanese To Baffle Police Eight-year-old Joseph Tasuka did 8 lot of talking to police yesterday when he got lost, but it was all in Japanese. Harry Lee. a Chinese, found Joseph wandering in the first block of H street and took him to the first pre- cinct, The police asked Joseph ques- tions. They asked him questions in French, German, baby talk, pidgin English and sign language. But they got ‘nowhere, and Joseph finally was trans- ferred to the Receiving Home. There a second effort was made to understand Joseph, but it came to nothing until his father arrived and explained the boy spoke only Jap- anese. Joseph's father took him home to 1009 U street.

Willie Rogers, 47, colored, 100 block of Quander street southeast, built himself up to an awful let-down yes- terday when he played on the sym- pathy of police after they found him sitting beside a coal car from which they suspected he jumped. Unable to walk because of a twisted kneecap, Rogers told Officers R. J. Tompkins and J. H. Gwinn it was an old injury, and that somebody had stolen his crutches while he was in the railroad yards at New Jersey ave- nue and I streets southeast. It was too bad, the officers agreed, | so they procured a pair of crutches for Rogers. Either Rogers was guilty of exag- geration or he suddenly forgot how to use the crutches, for he took one step forward and lost his balance. He was taken to Casualty Hospital for treatment. 0. . TRAFFIG TOLL UNUSUALLY SMALL {Only Three Mishaps Here, But Dozen Reported in Maryland. At least a dozen persons were in- jured in traffic accidents in the Wash- ington area yesterday, but the toll in the District was singularly small for | a week end. Despite the presence in the city of thousands of Labor day visitors and | ideal weather that brought a big turn- | out of motorists and strollers, only three mishaps were reported here. Hazel Bennett, 19, of 1301 Massa- chusetts avenue broke her nose and was bruised when a car in which she was riding with Edgar A. Miller, 19, of 1748 M street, hit a lamp post while trying to avoid collision with | another car. Miss Miller was treated | at Emergency Hospital. Robert Green, 31, of 317 Sixteenth street southeast and an unidentified | man were struck by an automobile while crossing Nichols avenue near Sheridan road southeast. Green was | treated at Gallinger Hospital. The only other person injured in the District was Walter Anderson, 51, colored, 1068 Thirtieth street. In nearby Maryland, however, acci- | dents were more numerous and more serious. Six persons, including two Wash- ington motor cyclists, were injured | in Montgomery County. The most seriously hurt was Charles Law, 25, of 921 Hamlin street north- | east, who suffered a compound frac- | ture of the left leg and a broken | right leg when his motor cycle ran | off the Lay Hill road near Glenmont | and struck a telephone pole. Claude Sanford, 19, of 1518 Up- | shur street, was cut and bruised when | | his motor cycle hit a hole beside the | Colesville pike, near Fairland, and |upset. Both Sanford and Law were | taken to Washington Sanitarium by the Silver Spring fire rescue squad. Dr, Charles E. Hawks of Rockville | received cuts about the eyes and an | ‘imured hand, and Miss Doris Jesse- | back, 1730 Massachusetts avenue, suf- fered a possible fracture of the right shoulder when a hit-and-run car struck theirs on the Rockville pike near Bethesda. Herbert Sonifrank, 21, of Boyds, Md., was taken to Montgomery County General Hospital with head cuts and a severe jaw injury after a head-on collision in the railroad underpass at Buck Lodge, Md. | 65 per cent completed. The Foening Star WASHINGTON, D. C, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1936. CONGRESSEDIFICES BETTING DUCTS FOR AIR-CONDITIONING Force of 77 Metal Workers to Be Increased by 16 Tomorrow. BIDS TOO HIGH, LYNN HEADS WORK HIMSELF Installation of Apparatus May Await More Funds on Re- turn of Congress. BY WILL P. KENNEDY. In an effort to get the Capitol, Sen- ate and two House Office Buildings in shape for members of Congress who will be returning soon after the election in November, David Lynn, architect of the Capitol, has a force of metal workers installing ducts for the $2,550,000 air-conditioning. Last week there were 77 metal work- ers employed, and the force will be increased by 16 tomorrow, with more employed as fast as the holes can be cut in walls and floors of all rooms and corridors. More than 80 tons of galvanized steel is being used for the ducts to which the air-conditioning apparatus will be connected in the basements and attics of the four buildings. The work in the Capitol is about In the new | House Office Building about 65 per cent of the cutting has been done. The four buildings have been upset | all Summer, preparing for the in- stallation of the air-conditioning. | When it was found that the bids were greatly in excess of the appropria- tions, Lynn decided he could install the metal ducts, which originally were | included in the bids, much cheaper than the contractors, so took over this phase of the work. He intends to make all cuttings, put in the ducts, plaster up alk holes and repaint the walls, so as to have the buildings ready for occupancy. Then the air- conditioning apparatus can be in- stalled at any time. He will call for bids again on the | air-conditioning and for a retrlgern-i tion plant as an addition to the Cap- itol power plant, to bring chilled | water to the Capitol group. If the new bids are still too steep, the com- pletion of the project must wait for Congress to decide whether it is ready to make an additional appropriation. ‘The high bids resulted from a rising market since Congress considered the project, both on materials and on la- | bor. PRIEST RELEASED AFTER MENTAL TEST| Rev. John Baycura Sent to Gal- linger at Close of 3-Day Hunger Strike. Rev. John Baycura, Homer City, Pa., priest, was committed to Gallinger Hospital for mental observation at the close of his three-day hunger strike, it became known today. | The priest was arrested Friday on | the sidewalk before his hotel and re- leased from the institution yesterday with a clean bill of health. Father Baycura conducted his hun- ger strike in protest against the im- position of the rule of celibacy on his particular sect of the Roman Catholic | Church. It was previously reported that he returned to his pastorate Fri- day. He is on his way there now. ~ Today, Goes Congratulations Extend- ed by Swanson in Or- der for Transfer. Labor day this year has a special significance for Rear Admiral Frank | B. Upham, chairman of the Navy's | General Board, for today marks his | 64th birthday anniversary—the last he will spend on active duty—and he's been 45 years in the service. | In accordance with recent custom, | Admira] Upham will not be placed on | the retired list until October 1. He | has had an illustrious career, for he | has served as chief of the Bureau of ' Navigation at the Navy Department, has been for two years commander in chief of the United States Asiatic fleet and has been chairman of the Gen- eral Board since January 1. This change will leave Rear Ad- miral Joseph M. Reeves, until re- cently commander in chief of the United States fleet, acting chairman of the General Board. No perma- nent chairman has yet been desig- nated. The General Board advises the Secretary of the Navy on matters of naval policy. Congratulated by Swanson. In signing the order for Admiral Upham's transfer to the retired list, Secretary Swanson wrote: “The De- partment regrets your retirement from active service and takes this congratulations and appreciation for inguished service ‘to our Nation. During the time which you have so faithfully and efficiently served, you have witnessed many ad- vancements in the morale, strength and efficiency of the Navy and you have the satisfaction of knowing thre you have contributed to the accom- plishment of these results. May I wish for your continued success and many years of health and happiness.” The Navy Department said that Admiral Upham is “councluding his tour of duty as chairman of the General Board just as the board is completing an exhaustive and com- prehensive survey of the situation of Rear Admr.

MAN 15 SET AFIRE BY TRUCK SPARK William A. Barber in Se- rious Condition From Unusual Accident. ‘Transformed into a human torch when a spark from a truck motor set fire to his grease-and-gasoline-stained jumper, William A. Barber, 25, man- ager of a filling station at Tenth and G streets southwest, was in a serious condition in Emergency Hospital to- day with body burns. If he recovers, as physicians say he has an even chance of doing, the youth will be indebted to the pres- ence of mind and quick action of two assistants, Charles Jenkins, 1416 Elev- enth street, and Edward McGee, 59 I street. Go to Rescue. Answering Barber’s cries for help, they tore off his flaming overalls and smothered the smoldering inner cloth- ing with their bare hands. Despite the rescue, Barber, who lives at 1311 P street, suffered severe burns on the left side of the body between his waist and shoulder. Jenkins and McGee, who found | Barber rolling on the ground in an attempt to put out the flames, were assisted in extinguishing the fire by firemen from No. 13 Engine House, located near the gas station. The fire rescue squad rendered first aid and took him to the hospital. Gasoline Ignited. Barber’s clothing was ignited, police were told, as he was bending over the engine of a dairy truck yesterday. He held a small can of gasoline with which he was filling the vacuum tank | and was working the accelerator with REAR ADMIRAL F. B.

In the Spanish-Ameri- can War he served aboard the flag- ship ot Admiral George Dewey, the Olympia. For his World War service, in command of the cruiser Columbia and later the Pueblo, he was awarded the Navy Cross. France bestowed upsn him the Legion of Honor. From 1921 to 1924 Admiral Upham served as nuval attache at the Ameri- can Embassy in Paris and from 1922 to 1924, he concurrently held the post of naval attache to Madrid. He commanded the Naval Air Sstation at Pensacola, in 1926, and was made a rear admiral in 1927. He served here as chief of the Bureau of Navigation from 1930 to 1933.

A third candidate is in the fleld for the presidency of the American Fed- eration of Government Employes. He is Dr. Thomas E.

Not even a barbed wire fence completely surrounds the 2,700 acres on which the two institutions are located. In the reformatory are housed the | worst type of the District’s crimi- nals—the murderers, the thugs, the | safecrackers and the gangsters who have been removed from society for safekeeping and possible rehabilita- tion. sentences ranging from a year and a day to life. Twenty-nine are there for life. The work house, just 2 miles south of the reformatory, quarters the short-term prisoners—the men who have committed some less serious offense and are serving sentences of a year or under. A large percentage of its inmates are habitual drunkards. 100 Women Serving Time. Also on the work house reservation, isolated from the men, is the woman's department, where 100 women—white and colored—are serving sentences for various offenses ranging as high as 30 years. The male prisoners at both Lorton and Occoquan, are quartered in brick dormitories. The only prisonlike atmosphere about the huge penal colony is the new “walled group” now nearing completion. A 25-foot brick wall surrounds the buildings behind it—dormitories and industrial shops ‘They are the men serving | where will live and work the inmates who fail to respond to Lorton's humane rehabilitation treatment. The men who go behind those brick walls are the only ones who do not have a chance to escape. Behind cell doors they are locked while not working. The wall beyond is virtually an insurmountable bar- rier. The prisoner who attempts to | scale it probably would be stopped with a rifie bullet from one of the four guard towers at each corner of the oblong inclosure. ‘Throughout the rest of the reserva- tion, however, the obstacles that would interfere with a prisoner who wanted to escape are few. There are not enough guards on duty at any one time to stop a wholesale break for liberty. That is a situation which is worrying the officials. Guards Average Is Small. The desired standard in Federal prisons is & ratio of 1 guard for every 10 inmates. For the 2,700 prisoners at Lorton and Occoquan, there are 171 guards, divided into three eight-hour working shifts. Sickness, leaves of absence and other causes reduces the guard force to a daily average of 150. At present there are only 12 guards and a captain on duty at the work house on the two night shifts. The increased population at both the reformatory and work house has made the guard problem exceptionally acute. It has been necessary at times in recent weeks to place only one Young Washington A model coach which won him $75 ung‘{!nt place in4 conigst e conducted by a manufacturer of accomplishments of Jack Redi 510 Decatur street.

Wheatley o‘ s“fl 8 guard with a group of 100 prisoners who work orchards. These guards, for obvious reasons, are unarmed. A night stick is all that most of them carry for weapons. Rifles are carried only by the guards stationed in the high observation towers scattered around the reservation. Prisoners working in the orchards and corn fields, are for long periods, | completely out of sight of their guard. | Freedom might be only a few feet away if a prisoner dared to take chance to escape in the dense woods that surround some of the fields. Brick Plant Shields Workers. ‘The guard force at the work house brick plant on the banks of shallow Occaquan Creek also is undermanned. Nearly 100 prisoners work there every day with only a few guards to watch them. It is impossible because of the layout of the brick plant for the officers to keep a constant vigil on all the men under their supervision. Some of the prisoners at the brick kilns. Others are obscured by the drying ovens. Still others work behind huge piles of shale that go into the manufacture of the work house-pro- duced brick. Yet, escapes, or attempted escapes, have been few despite the small guard force. The short termers—those at the workhouse serving sentences less than a year—have caused the most trouble. But the officials are more | concerned about the long-term | inmates at Lorton. Only eight days ago, a Sunday | night when the guard force was at its 1 minimum, three inmates, en route | | from the work house motion picture | | theater to the dormitories, dropped out of line into the darkness and fled into the nearby wilderness. Bloodhounds were placed on their trail and before dawn all three had | been captured. Lorton “Break” Blocked. At Lorton there is a different story. | Not one prisoner escaped in the last | fiscal year ended June 30. Four made | a break for freedom in the preceding | fiscal year, but were captured. The largest number of escapes from Lorton | in any 12-month period occurred in | the 1933 fiscal year, when 16 inmates ! succeeded in getting away to a brief | period of liberty. One night recently during a violent | thunderstorm, the electric service to | Lorton collapsed. Every light on the reservation went out. Nearly 1500 convicted murderers, thieves, gun- ‘men and highwaymen had an unusual | opportunity to organize and make & break for freedom. There was only | one guard on duty for every two dormitories. Each dormitory housed from 60 to 90 men. Lorton officials sensed the possible seriousness of the situation. Every | guard, off duty, who could be found was called back to work. Every auto- mobile and truck on the reservation was driven to the dormitories and ings with light. The potential human volcano that is Lorton might well have erupted. 161 More Guards Sought. ‘The situation, however, is one that continues to worry the officials at both Lorton and Occoquan. That is | the Commissioners for 161 more guards—102 for the reformatory and 59 for the workhouse. Even with this increase in the force, the institutions, it is said, cannot meet the requirements of the standard 44-hour law. Only twice in recent years has there been any serious disorder at Lorton. The first was the rebellion on Independence day, 1933. A little over a year later, August, 1934, the second disturbance occurred. Both were sub- dued without bullets or bloodshed. Conditions at the reformatory now appear to be quiet and peaceful. How long wili that situation last under existing conditions is the question penal officials are asking. Something more effective than a mere handful of guards are keeping the prisoners in check. Yy MEXICANS SLAY REBELS Band Reported to Have Kidnaped Los Altos Chief. .

SUSPECTS WITHOUT CRIMINAL RECORDS Six Colored Men Still Held in Probe of Fatal Clubbing of Watchman. Suspected of murdering Marion J. Riley, 55-year-old watchman at the James E. Collifiower coal yard in nearby Virginia, two white men, whose descriptions were furnished Washington authorities by Arlington County police, were still being sought today. ‘The fugitives do not have police records, according to Detective Chief Bernard W. Thompson. The reason Virginia police requested their arrest was not revealed. Acting on Request. “Just how these men figure in the case is known only to Arlington County authorities,” Inspector Thomp- son said. “They have merely asked us to arrest the men, and we are look- | ing for them.” Meanwhile, Sheriff Howard B | Fields, who has had practically every | officer in the county seeking the rob- | bers, who clubbed the watchman to | death and broke open the coal firm's | safe, said he was still without sub- stantial clues. Six colored men arrested s few hours after Riley's body was found early Saturday in a boiler room in the coal yard were still being held in the Arlington County Jail for ques- tioning. Disappearance of Dog. A new angle that led investigators to believe the robbery was well plan- ned was disclosed today when it de- veloped an airedale watchdog, which | had been Riley’s companion during his lonely vigil at the coal yard, dis- appeared several nights before bc was murdered. It is believed the dog was stolen or killed by the robbers to remove a dangerous obstacle. SECOND INQUEST SET IN SHOOTING Coroner's Jury Fails to Agree in Death of C. C. C. Worker. A second inquest will be held to- morrow in the fatal shooting of a | colored C. C. C. worker by Ninth Pre- | cinct Policeman Vivian H. Landrum, who is under technical arrest after a coroner’s jury failed to agree Satur- day night. It was said that five members of the jury stpod for exoneration and one was holding out for grand jury action when the coroner discharged | them at 11 p.m. Saturday. They had been deliberating since 3 pm. It was one of the few occasions on record | where a coroner’s jury failed to agree. Landrum shot Lawrence Basey, 28, attached to a C. C. C. camp near Seventeenth and M streets northeast, after the latter allegedly resisted ar- rest and attacked the officer, with the | aid of several companions. | The.shooting occurred in the 1700 block of M streets northeast, on August 31, and Basey died Thursday night in [Casull!y Hospital. The policeman, | on sick leave at the time, was return- ing to his home when informed some men were making trouble in the | vicinity. AMNESIA VICTIM'S IDENTITY SOUGHT | “James Gordon” in Richmond Hospital, May Be Washing- ton Resident. Local police sought today to learn | it an amnesia victim in a Richmond hospital who gave his naiae as James Gordon, 31, is a resident of Wash- ! ington. Gordon recalled vaguely that he | was employed by a Washington whole- | sale plumbers’ supply firm as a sales- | man and that he suffered a head in- { Jury in a fall here about 10 days ago. He said he recovered at a hospital in Washington, the name of which he could not recall. He then went on a motor trip to Richmond, he said. In the vicinity of Charlottesvillé, | Gordon said, he was robbed and | beaten by two men who took $114 from him and drove off in his car. Gordon told police he could not re- call what happened after that or how | he got in the Richmond hospital. He said he thought he was a native of either New Jersey or New York. Prisoner Annexes Larceny Charges As He Sweeps Jail Herbert Manley, 21, colored, was given a four-month sentence in Police Court today on two charges of larceny after trust, the second of which was incurred | | while he was being held at the first precinct station. Jailed yesterday for allegedly failing to return change from $10 entrusted to him by his employer. Manley was let out of his cell to sweep the cell block. As he swept, police said, he collected $1.10 from other prisoners on the promise he would buy tobaccoand | other articles for them. ‘When they got nothing for their money the other prisoners complained and police placed ad- ditional cha: against Manley. |
