COUNCIL TAKES NO ACTION ON
 CITY AIRPORT
Defers Final Decision Pend- ing Further Study of
 Costs of Port

After an extended discussion of the projected municipal-territorial airport, proposed to be erected at Salmon Creek, the City Council last night deferred final decision on the matter until it had confer red further with Territorial officials. While it was indicated majority of the Councilmen favored the pro- ject, it was felt that additional data on cost estimates was desired before definite action was taken.
 A special committee of the Cham Der of Commerce, composed of R. E.. Robertson, C. E. Cleveland and J. E. Connors appeared before the Council and urged immediate con- struction if funds were available for the City's share of the work. The Council probably will settle the matter at it's next meeting, the first Monday of next month.
 A Garden Club Committee-B. D. Stewart and Allen Shattuck- asked the Council for cooperation in improving the hillside property be- tween Calhoun Avenue and Dixon Street, opposite Governors Man sion. This was left in the hands of Mayor T. B. Judson.

PARIS, May 1.-The undisguiseG hope of the French, albeit tingeo with alarm, that General Pershine would hop aboard the Clemenceau- Foch controversy beyond the tomb in which former President-Pre- mier Poincare recently joined, was dashed to the ground when the commander of the A. E. r. landed at Cherbourg recently.
 T have nothing to say" General Pershing told reporters, and if ] did have something to say should prefer to say nothing"
 Interviewers pointed out that two entire pages of Clemenceaus book "Grandeurs and Miseries of Vic tory" described the state of affairs behind the American Army's lines in the Argonne, as chaos" but General Pershing refused to com ment
 A fey days after Marshal Foch died, book written by M. Ray mond Recouly, a noted French au- thor, purported to quote Foch irl some statements which left nc doubt as to the Allied Commanders in-Chiefs opinion concerning Clem- enceau, generally known here as the Father of Victory"
 This was in March, 1929, and Clemenceau immediately began to work on his book, "Grandeurs and Miseries of Victory" laboring sc hard that he came to an untimely death--so the doctors say-at the age of 88.
 T hate to start controversy over a coffin the Tiger wrote, but my silence would be construed as acquiescence.'
 Thereupon he proceeded to lam bast the daylights out of Foch, in cidentally taking pot shots at Poin- care and Pershing.

PERSHINC'S SILENCE BALKS FRENCH
 HOPE OF ANSWER TO CLEMENCEAU

1 comment, read: "Foch himself de- manded supreme command of the Allied Armies, and suddenly strick- en with paralysis of the will power failed to exercise it. He refused in September, 1918, to give Persh- | ing the orders imperiously neces- sary to the good of the country. l had to enjoin him in writing to enforce his authority"
 Foch as quoted by Rccouly had already replied to this attack:
 T never so much sought to com mand as I did to bring those around me to concur with my ideas. To command is nothing; what Is re- quired is to understand the char acter of those you are dealing with and to make yourself understood bJ them. To understand one an other, that's the whole secret Of life"
 OilC OOlillilGllUdtOi, ldOilCi hiCiAi choly, says: "Foch and Clemenceau never understood one another ans there is the whole secret Some of the amenities exchanged between the Commandcr-in Chief of the Allied Armies and the French War Premier are in the following order
 Foch "Clemenceau is going to the United States to whimper and sentimentalize, like the old dotard he is," This is alleged to have been said when the Tiger visited the United States during the French and American debt controversy. Clemenceau: "Foch was an in subordinate soldier"
 Out of the flood of comment which this post-mortem duel is creating in France, there emerges a general feeling of regret that such situation should have arisen. Poincare summed it up by say ing that Foch and Clemenceau both greatly served their country, and in time, this alone will be re- membered"

LISBON, May 17.-Antonio Oscar de Fragoso Carmona, small kind ly man who is reconstructing Por- tugal as Presidential Dictator of the Republic, promises welcome to the stranger within it's gates.

 General Csrmona has been in office only since 1927 when he was called to the Presideney by the military junta which rules the country behind the scenes.
