CALL MAIL PILOT
TO Tell OF D. C.FOG
Airport Commission Asks
That Flyer Appear Before
Body Monday.

An afr mail pilot will be called before
the Airport Commission when 1t re-
sumes hearings at 1890 Monday morn
ing to testify regarding fog and other
weather conditions observed by mail
pilots In entering Washington from the
air.
Senator Bingham, chairman Of the
commission, announced yesterday he
had telegraphed Ralph Wrestling of the
Pitcairn, Aviation Co., requesting the
presence of one of the air mail flyers at
the Monday hearing.
During the hearings last week con-
adorable testimony was given to the
effect that fogs along the Potomac
might prove unfavorable to the location
of WaShingtonIs main air terminal on
the water front. There were other
witnesses, however, who saw no reason
to fear fog conditions in urging Gravel
" Point as the airport site. The COM
mission wants to find out what the ex-
perience Of the air mail flyers has been.
AS previously announced. several
other aviation experts will be called
next week to give their views on how
the Washington airport should be de-
veloped.
The commission also will receive the
report Of Donald A. Dawson. Assistant
Engineer Commissioner, as to the prob
able cost and length Of time 1t would
take to develop an airport on one OF the
inland sites suggested in the suburban
area north or east Of the city.

SPRINGFIELD. Mo-, April IS OP.-
The farm relief bill introduced in Cen

It will be "the most remarkable relief
bill in the country--not to relieve the
farmer but to relieve lot of politicians
who are in tight place.

Heath said election Of Herbert
Hoover had done more than any
thing since the local option of cleo
ton of 1908 to help the cause of
prohibition in England. He declared
Mr.. Hoover's election on a plat
form of strict enforcement of the
American prohibition laws" had cre-
ated a tremendous impression on the
side of the Atlantic.
I'VE are pursuing virtually the
same tactics here the anti-saloon
league followed in America years
ago." he said. "We are asking each
candidate to answer yes or no to
this question, If elected will you
support a local option measure in
Guiding an option for no license at

united support according to the way
the questions are answered"
