Statistics Presented by a.
A. A. Manager in Urging
Closer Cooperation.
CODE RECENTLY FORMED
HELPS LITTLE. HE SAYS
Weights and Measures Officials. in
Convention Here. Pay Visit
to White House.

With statistics showing that American
motorists are robbed of approximately
100,000,000 gallons of gasoline, valued
at about S20,000,000 annually by dis
honest vendors. closer cooperative
program was urged on the National
Association of Weights and Measures
officials today by Ernest N. Smith, gen.
eral manager of the American Auto
mobile Association.
The figures, he said. we're deduced
from sample surveys in several large
cities, which resulted in many convic-
tlonS for sales which ran short from a
pint to gallon. In one city % convic-
lions were obtained out of 100 stations
visited.
Says Code Of Little Help.
The code recently formulated for the
gasoline industry by the Petroleum In
stitute, which now is before the Federal
Trade Commission, does little to remedy
this condition, Mr.. Smith said. leaving
the matter of protection to the motor
ing public and the State officials.
Some States, he said, have failed to
adopt laws protecting the public; others
have laws, but no machinery for enforce
ing them, and still others fail to make
regular check-ups. The American
Automobile Association, he said, is urg-
ing on its member organizations to
warn motorists and spur them to watch
for and report short sales. The fault,
he indicated. is partly that Of the
motorist especially the woman driver.

DEFENDS POSITION
AGAINST Spoilers
District Attorney Rover Says
Professionals Not
Dependable.

His stand against cases made" by
the so-called professional informer was
defended by Leo A. Rover, United
States attorney for the District of Co

late yesterday afternoon.
Telling of the lack of dependability
to be placed in this type of informer,
either in prohibition or other cases.
Mr.. Rover declared: Il don't think the
people want me to use informers when
in a8 per cent of the cases the in
formers are not there at the time of the
trial
Welcomes Information.
He then developed the thought that
his Office welcomes any information on
bootleggers or other types of law viola
tors, but spoke of a system whereby
police officers or detectives actually OBJ
tain the evidence and make" the cases
through information furnished them
Under the latter system. he said, it
will take longer to make cases. but con-
viction will be practically assured.
He emphasized the crowded condi-
lion of the Police Court here. both As
20 the building and the number of
Judges. Two days a week are given
TO jury trial in liquor cases, he said, and
practically all bootleggers demand trial
by jury.
Referring to the cases tried in the

before the latter tribanal have resulted
in convictions or pleas of guilty.

STUDY OF INSTITUTIONS EFFECT
ON DELINOUENTS TO BE MADE
Miss Abbott, ChiIdren's Bu-
reau Chief. Seeks
Weak Points,"
Careful. MethodicaI Inquiry
to Be Made First.Hand
Next Autumn.

BY The Associated Press
Convinced that reformatories often
make bad youngsters worse and good
ones weak, Grace Abbott, chief of the
Childrens Bureau of the Department
Of Labor. is planning Nationwide
study of the before and after" effects
of institutions for delinquent boys.
She has found that information
gathered secondhand indicates that
BOYS are less likely TO succeed in bust
ness and other aspects Of living after
they have been reformed" and she
would supervise a first-hand investi-
cation next Fall to check up on results
obtained by the best established tnsti-
buttons.
The project is characteristic of the
woman who mothers Americas chill
dren. She wants information from the
objective standpoint, and she Is going
after 1t methodically, with tangible
standards of measurements. If reform
atory boys need something they are not
getting, she wants at least to learn
and monstrate-precisely what II Is,
free from any fog of sentimentality.
Approach Is Scientific.
Her approach to her Job she ex-
plains is scientific rather than senti-
mental" She loves children and has
always enjoyed working with and for
them, but she definitely denies that
maternal instinct, or consciousness of
a mission to perform for children, led
her into her work.
Much of what is termed maternal
instinct" she observes, results in
harm to the child"
This Is demonstrated, she holds, by
the excessive solicitude" arising from
too much emotional consciousness of
mother instinct, which makes the child
dependent. That, In her opinion. is
quite different from intelligent care
and affection tor children.

Senator Bingham Conters
With Assistant Director Kloe-

GRAVELLY POINT DATA
ASKED OF MITCHELL
Site Not Decided On. but Boundary
Ruling Might Help Save Time,
It Is Believed.

The appeal of the joint airport COM
mission for an immediate appropriation
of 100000 to make possible an early
start on air terminal facilities for the
National Capital, was laid before the
Budget Bureau today when Senator
Bingham of Connecticut, chairman of
the commission, conferred with Royal
Q. Kloeber, assistant to the director Of
the budget.
Senator Bingham also announced to-
day he has asked Attorney General
Mitchell for an opinion as to what would
be the exact location of the District of
Columbia Virginia boundary line in
the vicinity of Gravelly Point. if it final
ly should be decided to establish an air
port at that point.
Site Not Decided On.
The commission has emphasized that
no site has been decided upon, the
purpose in seeking an immediate an
preparation being to enable the National
Capital Park and Planning Commission
TO recommend where lands or options
on lands should be acquired. If Gravel
ly Point should be selected it would
consist largely OF reclaimed grounds
made by dredging from the river and
filling in what is now a water area. 1t

site should be selected. some land might
have to be acquired, and the commission
is seeking from the Department of Jus
tice exact information regarding the
Virginia boundary line.
In his conference with the Budget
Bureau official, Senator Bingham, it is
understood. emphasized that time is
the essential factor in the airport situ-
alton, and was the reason which
prompted the commission to ask Con-
greSs to make Immediately available
from the Federal Treasury 100000
as an initial appropriation for the pur-
chase of lands. The commission felt
il this could be done at the present
session a year would be saved in begin
ming an airport.
For Immediate Fund.
Senator Bingham told the assistant
10 the budget director the airport COM
mission will have no objection to plaC-
ing all future appropriations for the
airport in the regular District appro-
priation bill if this first installment is
appropriated at this time from the
Treasury.
It is expected that after the budget
officials have considered the situation
as outlined by Senator Bingham. the
bureau will advise the President as
to whatever conclusion it reaches.

While Navy mechanics today began
the work of salvaging motors and in

of inquiry was convened to investigate
the cause Of the accident, in which
enlisted men narrowly escaped injury or
drowning.
The plane was "tripped up" in taking
on when II struck the waves in the
wake of a river steamboat The big
ship was Just leaving the water when
the first Of the unexpected waves struck
the stern Of the flying boats hull and
threw 1t into the air. The nose dropped
into the next wave and the plane, which
is the largest type of amphibian in the
United States, catapulted over on its
back

crash or trapped in the wreckage and

remarkable features of the accident
They all freed themselves from the
cabin and climbed up on the wings or
hull. Two minutes after the accident
they were rescued by the crew of
speedboat of the Potomac Speedboat
