Cities Need Airports

Tucson.-Colonel Charles Al. Lind.
berg brought his monoplane to a per
feet landing here Friday afternoon at
2 o'clock, exactly on. the minute that
he was scheduled to make his only
stop in Arizona.
Approximately $4,000 persons had
motored to the field, four miles from
the city, to greet the famous airman.
The ovation accorded the hero of the
oceanic flight was unprecedented in
the history of Arizona.
Colonel Lindbergh taxled the silver
gray monoplane to the hangar where
he alighted, attired in civilian clothes.
From the airport the flyer was
driven to the city and through Pas
time park where patients at the vet
erans' hospital were given a few min
utes' visit with the youthful officer
who is on a tour of the country in the
interests of aviation.
His next stop was at the University
of Arizona athletic field where a
crowd of between $4,000 and &c. 900
persons were assembled. Lindbergh
addressed the gathering, the largest
in the history of the Old Pueblo, on
the future of aviation. He stressed
the need of commercial airports.
He predicted that within a year
number of large commercial passen-
ger planes would be carrying inter-
city and Interstate passengers on as
prompt schedule as has been his
flight since leaving New York City.
He advocated the establishment of in
also parachute jumping.

Mesa Girl Won't
Go To Hollywood

An offer to pay Miss Neoma Pom
eroy, II years old and native of
Mesa, $4,000 a month to star in mo-
tion pictures, was made this week by
representative of Warner Bros, and
refused by the parents of the young
woman, Mr.. and Mrs. Ed L Pomeroy.
Because they do not believe that
the movie lots of Hollywood offer the
proper environment for girls, and be-
cause they have definite ideas of the
kind of life they wish their daughter
to lead, Mr.. and Mrs. Pomeroy have
broken off negotiations which ex-
tended over several days.

Of the wealthiest corporations in the
worlds most romantic business, to

his head in perplexity.
An opportunity which millions of
girls would literally give their right
arms to have, and one at which or
dinary parents would jump with
frantic eagerness, has been firmly de-
clined When he goes back to Holly
wood he will have story to tell so
strange and unbelievable that the
brand of hasheesh he has been smok-
ing out here in Arizona.
In the meantime Neoma Pomeroy
is continuing serenely in her classes
at the Mesa Union high school, with
no time to dream of the glittering
career that may be, hers after she
graduates and has the opportunity to
choose for herself Mesa Tribune.

CONGRESSMAN MADDEN
KNOWS THE OLD GAME

Chicago-Any budget allowance
for the Colorado river Boulder dam
project will be opposed by Repre-
sentative Martin B. Madden, of Illi-
nois, chairman of the house appro-
priations committee.
There is no necessity for Boulder
dam, as a power generator, for recla-
nation work or for flood control pur-
poses," Mr.. Madden said.
Proponents of the bill for the dam
project have suggested appropriating
$100,000,000 for the work, but Mad
den said the cost would be nearer
$500,000,000.
"The power companies would like
to have the government spend $780,
100000 on the dam and then run it at
a profit to themselves" Madden said.
"There'll be no such appropriation as
long as can prevent it"
