PARKWAY SYSTEM
WOULD GIVE WORK
George Washington Memorial
in Virginia Urged as Aid
to Unemployed.
BY LESTER N. 1NsKEEP,


CLARENDON, Va, November a.
Employment for al OF the idle men in
Northern Virginia would result from the
participation Of virginia in the plans
Of the Federal Government for the de-
velopment of the George Washington
Memorial Parkway, in the opinion of
Hugh Lee Kirby, who Is to conduct q
campaign throughout the State for the
Arlington County Chamber Of Com
merce.
This is one Of the principal argu-
ments that Kirby win use for the call
ing of . special session of the General
Assembly to appropriate the funds for
Virginia's share, when he starts his
Statewide speaking tour next week at
Fairfax.
Perfecting Organization.
At the p. esent time Kirby, as special
representative of the Arlington County
Chamber Of Commerce, is perfecting an
organization for conducting the cam
raign and will open and equip an once
for this purpose. He already has COM
municated with trade bodies in all of
the cities and towns, asking that they
permit him to address their respective
bodies. and is now engaged IN prepar-
in1 schedule that he expects to carry
him into every county in Virginia.
Kirby believes that the people of
Virginia will be willing to appropriate
the funds for the development Of the
park II they are made TO realize that
the investment win pay for itself many
times over In the long run and that he
will be able TO show them that this win
be the case.
One Of the questions that he win
dwell upon Is what the park will mean
as method Of increasing revenues. As
an example. he points to Westchester
County, N. Y, where, after the expendi-
ture Of SIS, 000, 900, in 1928, the taxable
values were $788, 02e, 026 and in 1929
were 81 500, 49o, 600. The total acreage
Of that park amounted to 1851 and
the yearly cost of operation Is 81 $780,
600, all Of which Is taken care Of by
concessions
Would Cost S3.7S0,OOO.
The park. as proposed under the
Capper- Cramton bill for both sides of
the river. would approximate the acre
age OF the New York park, and Vir-
ginias side could be developed at a cost
Of 43,750.000 to the State with the as
surance that the advance In taxable
values would more than Offset this ex-
penotture. kirby further points out
that Virginia Is relieved from further
cost the act providing that the park
shall be taken over and maintained by
the Federal Government.
It would cost the State approximately
500, 900 to call a special session of the
General Assembly. he thinks, and for
this expenditure 1t would get q direct
investment Of nearly $4,000, 600 In ad-
dition. he says, the State would have
an attraction for all time that should
bring into the State 100000 900 an
nually from tourist travel alone, es-
pecially when the Lee Boulevard has
been connected with the Shenandoah
National Park.
| Virginia, says Kirby. IL going to ask
Congress for farm relief, and he thinks
oflcials Of this State could 60 before
Congress with much better grace II
some indication 10 shown Of q desire on
the part OF the State to cooperate with
the Federal Government in this project
OF the latter.

Senator Gore, who lectures at Ma
tional's School OF Law on legal his
tory, was obliged to take leave Of alb
sence from the faculty in order to con-
duct his campaign for election in his
home State. The successful close of
that campaign last week, however,
makes 1t possible for him to assume
his class room duties and he is ex-
pected to return to the National Uni
versity faculty by the beginning of
the coming Winter term.
Senator Gore, blind since he was
IL years old. when he lost the sight of
his second eye, which had survived an
accident that cost him his other eye
three years earlier, attracted attention
In Washington educational circles last
year by the precision with which he
administered his class at National. He
was trained. however, for the teaching
profession, having been graduated from
the Walthall, Miss, Normal School in
1890. He subsequently took the degrees
OF bachelor Of laws and doctor of laws
from Cumberland University. He was
Senator from Oklahoma from 1907,

AVIATION PARLEY
HEARS CAPT. HAWKS
Noted Flyer Stresses Need oi
Uniform Laws on Aero
nauticS.

Development of a high-speed plane
similar TO the type in which he has
set record after record rs shrinking the
boundaries of the States and makes
necessary uniform aeronautic legisla-
ton, Capt. Frank M. Hawks told the
Conference of State Delegates, called
by the Department of Commerce to con-
slider aviation legislation.
Aviation should not be burdened
with duplication of laws" Capt. Hawks
said. There is no doubt that the
average airplane will be speeded up so
that State boundaries will not mean
much. If the laws vary from State to
State air progress will be seriously
hindered."
Hawks was picked out of the crowd
informally during the morning session
OF the conference. Many famous avi-
ators were present when the conference
adjourned at noon to go to the White
House. Among them, in addition to
Hawks, Williams and Jones, were Col.
Charles A Lindbergh and Miss Amelia
Earhart, first woman to fly the Atlantic.
Airport Menace Cited.
The danger that growing real estate
values and taxes will drive privately
owned airportS out of existence in the
vicinity of large cities was cited as a
reason for governmental ownership by
Richard B. Barnitz, Los Angeles airport
director, at today's session of the con-
ference.
The conference. which began yester-
