Congress Must Quickly Give Us
Modern Airport Facilities

TT cheering Washington that air mail
tractors threatening give up this city air mail
base airport facilities here not what they should be-
The consolation have is that when do get modern
airport arpor it will not be possible for mail contractors
others engaged in aviation enterprises to overlook Wash
ington.
This city far too important from standpoint to be
gnored and WILL despite legislative and other drawbacks be-
of the great aviation centers of the United States
and of the world
Notwithstanding this Congress should settle airport
problems at the winter session and let begin upon the
srucon of the most modern airport possible to build
The delays here have not been without benefits that rash
and expensive airport experiments of other cities will point
the way sensible practical construction in Washington
The differences of opinion in Congress to how the
should be divided between the District and Federal Gov
ought to be roned out by winter and it should be
done in such way that unfair part of the cost may not be
thrown District taxpayers in view of the fact that
port will be much used by departments and bureaus of the
Government.
There element in Congress that believes that big
airport here should be constructed by private capital and
by the municipal and Federal Governments but the
in Congress believes this would be too long away and that
need airport facilities We DO and the problem should
be disposed Of.

Grand Jury's Dilzy- -Dallying Outrageou


Even if these reporters had consented to the
role of stool pigeons and prosecuting witnesses
against the speakeasy prOprietOrs the cases from
legal standpoint would be weak that they would be
thrown out of court Immediately The reporters have
samples of any of the whiskey purchased and they
not fortified with witnesses.
The simple inference from the entire situation is that
the Grand Jury is not immensely concerned about
prompt and effective suppression of this extensive
traffic If they they would act and not talk.
The Times very much suspects that District Attorney
Leo A. Rover neted by press attacks upon his office,
deliberately summoned the city editor of the paper in
the belief that he would catch the paper unprepared to
back up its statements and thus would be able to dis
credit it in the public eye.
The editors not foolish enough to be caught in
any such predicament. Before any statements were
made to the present extent of the traffic,
porters had already furnished specific information
garding it.
Too much cannot be said in praise of the fine Jour
nalstc spirit shown by the three loyal reporters who of
their voOn and counter to the advice of counsel
elect to go to Jail rather than betray newspaper
fdences
1t is certainly proud in the history of any
paper when it tell the wide world that any
dences given it's representatives sacred and that
rather than violate these condolences it's reporters will
serve time behind the bars

IT is an outrage that the Grand Jury Ostensbly
desrous of deving into wholesale violations of the
prohibition law in Washington should harass The
Washington Times for earnestly and honestly attempt
ing to assist it in an investigation of the present amaz
ing situation.
In response to court summons, the city editor of
The Times has placed before the Grand Jury the de-
tailed data of three of the reporters which list
49 specific of speakeasies operating in detance
of law
Instead of gratefully accepting this information,
turning it over 70 the District Attorney and request
ing the proper authorities to visit the listed places and
obtain legal evidence the Grand Jury has had three
Times reporters sent to Jail for contempt of court for
railing to reveal the sources of their information
These reporters feel that for them to testify at all
would place them in the category OF shoppers and stool
pigeons and would compel them to break solemn
pledges of confidence that they entered into before
Undertaking their unpleasant newspaper assignment
They gathered this rum traffic data solely as matter
of newspaper information to fory the editors OF The
Times in their repeated assertion that prohibition law
violations are as fragrant today they were two years
ago and that rum traffic is flOurshng.
The reporters and the editors had no intention OF
Dreparing ar-tight legal cases. of obtaining ahdaVts
or of insttung criminal prosecutions THIS IS not the
The Washington times., 1929-10-30

function of a newspaper but of the police and the
District Attorney.
Instead of quibbng legal technicaties and in
sng that reporters testify to facts which are already
before the Grand Jury in detailed written fOrm giving
names and addresses of alleged lawbreakers, why
didn't the jury Immediately set the District Attorneys
office to work checking up this voumlnous data!
The Grand Jury under law has broad inquisitOrial
powers 1t is empowered to conduct its own nvestiga
tons and it frequently does. Then with the detailed
information of The Times survey before it, why hasn't
it made single against these speakeasies?
Whatever may be the good intentions of the Grand
Jury, the effect of their dHlydaLyng, their quib-
bLng their hardssmen of the press is to give prOtec-
ton to net WashngtOns numerous speakeasies and
boOteggers. This is a disgrdceful, scanddLOus
situation.
The District Attorney is largely to blame for it, too.
With the knowledge he has of the 49 specific of
law violation reported by The Times, he should be out
hunting up these speakeasies instead of aiding and
abeting the Grand Judy in failing three reporters for
declining to break the most sacred of newspaper
ethics
The testimony of the three reporters even if they
were willing to give it. would not help the Grand Jury
one whit. All of the information they could give is
already contained in their detailed reports before
the jurors with the exception of the of the
sons who gave them entree.
