By the Associated Press. ELKINS, W. Va, July 30.—Four farmersand a one-time missionary are leading the strike of homemakers on | the Tygart homesteads, where the Government. has spent $1,000,000 to encourage co-operative living. These five men comprise the Board | of Directors of the Tygart Valley As- | sociation, formed three years ago to operate a communal farm in connection With the resettlement community. They cautiously discussed their strat- egy in keeping 98 men homesteaders from their jobs on 24 additional houses. “This is the first time we ever had any dealings with newspaper fellows,” said mild, slim Robert Z. Willson, board member, “and we're going to go kind of careful.” “No one here" indicated his coatless colleagues, “is authorized to say anything as an individual mem- ber.” Willson came to the homestead as 8 member of the Friends Society doing social work. He is & native of Jowa and a graduate of Swarthmore College, where he maiored in eco- nomics and history. He served four | years as A missionary on the island of Cypress, off the coast of Syria. The other directors are all West | Virginia farmers. All said they were convinced that | the Resettlement Administration at | Washington would investigate their claims that management has been | inefficient and wasteful in the phases of homestead life which are not di-| rected by the association. i “We feel sure of this”” Willson eald, “because the Resettlement Ad-| ministration has not denied a single! charge we have made.” he Airport ((;9n?umed From First Page.)

Meanwhile, the situation was further | too small, Wood said, and are being complicated by action of the National | Capital Park and Planning Commis- | sion late vesterday opposing enlarge- | ment of the airport. The Park and Planning Commission took no definite aotion on the pro- posed Camp Springs, Md., airport site which was recommended by the District Airport Commission. The planning group, however, accepted re- eponsibility for locating and design- ing an express highway to connect the site with oe of the Anacostia bridges, in case the airport should be constructed. Enlargement of Washington Airport was condemned by the commission, which specifically opposed filling in of the Boundary Channel Lagoon on the ground this would bring transport airplanes within 100 feet of the Mount Vernon Highway in taking off and landing. This not only would con- stitute a hazard to traffic on the highway but by its existence would constitute a growing pressure to “junk” the $7,000.000 highway ih favor of the airport at some future time, in the opinion of members of the commis- sion. John Walter Wood, World War pilot, was called before the commis- #ion at the request of Chairman Fred- eric A. Delano to testify as an ex- pert on airports. Wood told the com- mission increasing size and landing speeds of air transport planes are creating a demand for larger air- ports, Cites Waste of Money. Many American airports have wast- ed money by building on sites that are too small, Wood said, and are being forced to move to larger sites or to enlarge existing sites at great ex- pense. The same thing is happening in Europe. notably in London, Ber- lin and Paris, he said. It is the contention of the District Airport Commission that the Camp Springs site would provide room for future expansion up to 2,500 acres, if nec- essary. Officials Are Pessimi: Airport officials are openly pessimistic over the workability of the amended bill. They said they cannot afford to pay $25.0000 in advance for the tem- porary use of the Military road right of way and expressed doubt that the Agriculture Department, which is publicly opposed to use of the experi- mental farm land for airport purposes, | will fix a rental within reach of the | airport. HOW EXPLORER KEEPS COOL IN PANAMA JUNGLE Same method works here for people that like to cool off and keep cool Gregory Mason, uoted jungle ex- plorer, says: “Trudging through tropical wilderness under the scorch- ing sun, I rely on vitalizing tea to carry me on. Tea steps up my vital- {ty—always gives that lasting cool- mess in the most torrid climate.” The difference between tea and other so-called cooling drinks is this: Tea does more than merely quench thirst. Tea actually LOWERS the body temperature. Its cooling effect is more LASTING. For full, delicious flavor, select a good brand of Orange Pekoe from ladia, Ceylon, and Java-Sumatra.

NEW YORK, July 30—George Palmer Putnam last night termed the disappearance of his wife, Amelia Ear- hart, a mystery that “may never be explained,” but said he still clung to a hope that she might be alive on one of the many tiny islands in the Pacific Ocean. ‘I cannot bring myself to believe she To kill Meosquitees Dethol SPRAY wiTe D.
