Apropos of the efforts of certain in
dividualS in the District interested in
forming an air unit in the local Guard,
and the statement of the War Depart
ment that one of the prerequisites will
be the provision of armory and air
drome facilities, the chief of the Mi
litia Bureau pointed this out in his an
nual report just issued.
Tables of equipment for observation
SquadronS of the National Guard, the
report said, were changed during the
fiscal year to authorize the issue to each
squadron of four standard observation
and four training airplanes. The initial
issue of this equipment was completed
during the year and some organizations
furnished with requirements for wrecked
airplaneS.
Despite the high cost of initial Air
Corps equipment, its maintenance and
replacement it is not believed that there
are now any problems of Federal supply
which might prevent the development
of Air Corps organizations into real tao
tical units capable of immediate field
| service in time of minor emergency.
| The development of a few units is
| still being retarded by a lack of ade-
! quate airdromes and permanent facili-
| ties. The plant of a division aviation
unit of the National Guard should in
clude not only adequate space in mod
ern heated hangers to accommodate at
! least eight airplanes of standard obSer-
vation type, but should also provide an
operations room or building, room for
| packing, airing and drying parachutes,
room or building for the installation
and operation of radio equipment, space
| for care and instruction with the arma-
ment issued, Photographic hut or the
necessary rooms and installations for
| Photographic operations and inStruc-
! ton, separate space for housing of or
| ganization transportation, machine
shop and rooms for Air Corps supplies
and other organization equipment. In
addition, class rooms and adequate
locker space are necessary.
| The facilities are in the nature OF
armories and should be provided by the
| State, and the hope is expressed that
| the few States which have not already
provided these facilities for their Air
Corps organizations will make every eff
| fort to secure them in the immediate
future.

In an effort to impress upon the
citizens of the city the most unsatls-
factory conditions under which the Ma
tional Guard of the District Of Colum-
bia must obtain its training here during
the greater part of the year, officials or
the brigade headquarters OF the or
ganization have been speaking before
citizens associations. Some OF the or
ganizations already have taken action
in favor of the provision of adequate
armofy facilities here, and it Is hoped
that more will take the same step, IL
was said.
AS it is planned to again this year
take the armory matter before Congress-
it is believed that If the officials can
show a united front on the part OF the
citizenry in support of such project that
the legislators might look favoraoly on
such legislation, and take steps to nave
it enacted into law at the current regu-
lar session. Civic as well as veteran
bodies heretofore have indicated that
they are whole-heartedly in favor OF an
armory project, although officials OF
both the District and Federal Govern
mentS have not been so willing to ap-
prove it.
The District Guard, in this respect,
is between two lines OF thought. on
the one hand is the Federal Govern
ment, which seems to take the stand
that an armory should be provided by
the District of Columbia with local
funds, in the same manner that the
States provide for the housing Of their
citizen troops. On the other, there are
the District officials who think that the
Guard should be provided for by the
Federal Government. They take the
stand that the local troops are Federal
organization, and for that reason they
should have Federal money with which
to finance any building project which is
planned.
So the situation has been for num-
Der of years. In fact, it has been more
than a quarter of a century since ef-
forts were instituted looking toward the
provision of a suitable armory here,
and those promoting the project that
far back were even successful enough to
have passed legislation and appropria-
tionS for the drawing up Of the neces-
sary plans. These plans provided for

His victory by 100000 votes
over Major Fiore1lo C'Fiery") La
Guardia, Republican may0ralty
candidate, today proved his popu-
larity.
It was the largest plurality
ever registered by a New York
candidate for mayor. Walkers

tically the entire Democratic
ticket into office with him.
What did Jimmie think Of It?
"Tt is sweet" he declared.
Defends His Clothes
During the campaign his OPP
ponentS called him the wise
cracking mayor" ana made sar-
castle references to his dapper
dress. His friends call Jimmie
~America's best dressed mayor"
''I hope that now these smart
cracking people viii just let me
alone and let me do what I want
to do," said the mayor, for once
aetting his smile fade into stern
sincerity.

things in addition to sustaining
my record. It was decided that
q man can wear his own clothes
and that a man in public life,

that they had told him to Use
his own judgment.
He said he didn't have to talk
to anybody but Mr.. Leahy."
Leahy is counsel for the de-
fendant.
It was also reported that
Lewark had admitted to Depart
ment of Justice operatives that
he was a friend of Bob McPher-
son and that it was with great
reluctance that he would give any
testimony at all.
It developed yesterday that
Lewark and Green were drawn
into the case when the Justice
operatives, seeking every possible
clue, secured the names of every
crew on the Georgia Avenue lines
from street railway officials and
examined a number of car men,
Lewark and Green bringing forth
certain information when queS-
toned last Saturday.
Up until that time, it is said,
the skilled operatives were not
sure that they had q complete
chain of evidence sufficient to
taking Mcpherson to trial with
confidence Of securing a convic-
tion.
LaSkey is Silent
Special Prosecutor John z.
Laskey told reporters he had
nothing to say. He refused to
comment on the validity of the
Grand Jury indictment against
young Mcpherson.
Department of Justice agents
still are working on the case, it
was learned from a source re-
moved from the department. The
| matter-of-fact report, without con-
tanning any opinions or useless
information, is being drawn up
by some of the agents, while
others are devoting their time to
various angles Of the case.
William E. Leahy, defense coun-
sci. is confined to his home, $500
block Garfield st. N. W., with Q
severe cold. He. too, had nothing
to say this morning regarding
the Mcpherson case.
