AIRPORT PLANS BY LEGION POST NOW DEFERRED ACTION TAKEN DUE TO FACT THAT MOVEMENT CON- FLICTS WITH’ EXISTING LAWS IN MATTER After weeks of planning and; several months of hard work, the American Legion municipal air- port project is abandoned for the present. Not through any fault of the legion but because of laws cov- ering the making of an airport are such that the project now under way is in direct conflict. When the first concession was given the legion for the use of the incinerator site and adjoining property work was started and much progress was made, and im- provement was rapid. Later a better site was secured from Wm. R. Porter. This\was a large tract of land including the salt pans, * Intensive work was started on this plot and amazing progress had been made in a brief time. Now it is learned that an air- port to receive the approval of the government, and without this there can be none, must have a landing field 1,320 feet square, ive-rof:. the space.-for build-. ings and appurtenances. Neither of the sites selected was of suf- ficient area, Another requirement, and one that cannot be overcome, it is said, is that no airport can be constructed within 8000 feet of another, and each of those that were under course of construction by the legion is less than’ 8000 feet from the Pan-American _ landing field, C. P. Hogéboom, one of the members who was urgently work- ing to bring about the consumm tion of the municipal airport idea, told The Citizen today that while discouraged to some extent all hope has not been abandoned and the forces of the American Le- gion are determined to let noth- ing deter them. Already other sites are being considered and within a short time an effort is to be made to secure one that will meet with every requirement of the law.

HOUSE APPROVAL OF ROOSEVELT'S PROGRAM SPEEDY | ACT ON IMPENDING 1S- SUES; MEMBERS | THERE TALK FIRST AND THEN ACT By HERBERT PLUMMER (My Aanoviated Prens) WASHINGTON, March 29.— Perhaps no better illustration of the wide difference between the house and senate ways of doing things has appeared than the sit- uation which presented itself with- Jin the first week of the special session. The house, for all its size and unwieldyness moved along those first few days clipping off the various items in the president's jlegislative program with the speed and precision of a well-oiled ma- chine, On the first day, of the session the emergency banking bill was passed, Two days later the presi- dent’s drastic economy bill was shoved through. And on the fifth day of the session it had approved and sent to the senate the bill legalizing beer. The senate, however, refused to show any such speed. After the banking bill had been cleared the first day, senators began to dem- onstrate that “the greatest delib- erative body” in the world is no idle phrase. In the senate they talk first and then vote, In the house, it has been pointed out, the repre- sentatives usually do their voting with a minimum of talking at the time and then later, if opportun- ity permits, give voice to their convictions. That is what happened in the first week of the present special session. After the beer bill was out of the way in the house it }seemed that there was nothing left to do.

When American Troops Landed In 1914 (Ry Associated Press) MEXICO CITY, March 29.—The stoning of the American embassy as a protest to the appoint- ment of Josephus Daniels as United States ambassa- dor to Mexico was disclos- ed today. Several win- dows were broken. Police have not made the incident public and it is not known if any arrests have resulted. Daniels was secretary of the navy when United States troops landed in Vera Cruz in 1914. . : A secret investigation is being conducted in con nection with the incident, and in all probability there will be arrests ef- fected in the event that those responsible are made known to authori- ties.
