Hearing on Municipal Market Site Set for Friday
LEADERS
APPROVE SITE
FOR AIRPORT

Development Of an airport at
the south end of Highway Bridge,
as proposed by the Joint Con-
gressional Airport Commission,
has met the approval Of the
Washington Board Of 7Trade.
At a meeting Of the board Of
directors Of the trade body yester-
day the directors went on record
as favoring the proposal Of the
committee headed by Senator
Hiram Bingham that Hoover
Field, the Washington Airport
and part of the Department Of
Agriculture Experimental Farm
be developed for a municipal fly
ing field. The action of the
board followed a conference be-
tween Lawrence E. Williams,
chairman Of the Board Of Trade
aviation committee, and Senator
Bingham.
Land to Be Donated
Williams said that it was re-
vealed by Senator Bingham that
approximately half of the land
would be donated by the Federal
Government and that the COM
mittee would recommend that the
rest be paid by a noninterest-
bearing loan of $2,500,000 from
the Federal Government to the
District government, to extend
over a period Of 10 years. This
loan would be repaid in 10 annual
installments of $3.50, 900 each.
In recommending approval of
the terms Of the Congressional
Joint Committee, Major D. A.
Dawson, assistant to the Engineer
Commissioner. declared that it
was "the only solution Washing
ton will get in its airport prob
lem at the present time"
Chamber Acts Tonight
The board of directors of the
washington Chamber Of Com.
merce will pass on the proposal
at a meeting tonight. The execu-
tive committee of the chamber
met yesterday to discuss the mat
ter and were on the point of
drawing up a resolution condemn.
ing the plan when the announce.
ment was made that the plan
is for permanent airport at the
site proposed. The chamber Off
cials had been working under the
impression that the proposal of
the Congressional group was for
a temporary field, which was
vigorously denied yesterday by
Senators Bingham and Vanden
berg.
The board of governors of the
Merchants and Manufacturers
Association will probably con.
slider the matter at a meeting
on March IA.

PROBE OF SENATE OFFICE DEFICIT PLANNED
new CON I R0L
IS LIKELY To
Be RESULT
$50 yS8fs. -

Amazed at the facility with
which q huge deficit has been
created in the funds appropriated
for the care Of the Senate Office
Building, the Senate Committee
on appropriations this week is
launching an investigation to de-
termiae the events which neces-
STATED the expenditures.
"A readjustment Of the manage
lnent and control Of the big white
building which houses the offices
Of the Senators is regarded as
likely as a result Of the inquiry.
Will Lay RumOrs r.
The inquiry is also expected
to set at rest numerous reports
and rumors which have circulated
around Capitol Hill, and which
are the primary cause Of the
secret hearings which the ap-
propriations committee will hold
within a day or two.
The total Of the deficiency
which will have been created be-
fore the expiration of the cur
rent fiscal year will run to nearly
100000.
Deficits Are Rare .
Deficits of this size are, to say
the least, unusual in Government
bureaus where officials are for.
hidden by law. except in cases Of
emergency, to contract deficien.
cies, but when it Is considered
that the original appropriation
for the Senate Office Building
was less than 500, 900. and that
this was expected to run the
building for the entire year, the
amount of the deficit becomes
stupendous.
Senators and officers of the Sen
ate are reluctant to discuss
the matter. When pinned down to
direct questions on the deficit and
other reports, their answers are
vague and evasive.
That is, all are except Senator
George Moses of New Hampshire,
chairman Of the committee on
rules, who has control Of the Of
flee space.
IT authorized the expenditures,
and I take full responsibility in
the matter" says Senator Moses
when questioned. !
Moses to Be Quizzed

Committee when it delves into the
administration Of the office build.
ing fund.
''It was necessary to spend all
of the money that was spent in
order to bring the building up to
the proper standard and keep it
there" says Moses. "AS long as
am running it I will continue to
spend what funds are necessary
and I think right now that larger
expenditures will be necessary in
the future"
At least one member of the Sen
ate, however, is known to be in.
ce11Sed at the manner in which af-
fairs have been conducted. He is
largely responsible for the calling
OF the inquiry, and will be on hand
to state his observations on the
matter.
Senator Wesley Jones of Wash.
ington, chairman of the Appro.
priations Committee, said today
that his committee would take up
the matter in a day or two.

ried an item of about sos, 900 for

Charles Alden, was appointed. He

ALLEY CHECKUP
!. NEARS FINISH

Despite the fact that many
alley dwellings have been crowded
into oblivion in recent years by
garages and modern building op-
erations, there still are a large
number of Washingtonians, white
and colored. who make their
homes in alleys, Major Henry G..
Pratt. superintendent of police,
said today in announcing that a
census Of alley dwellers being
conducted by police would soon
be completed.
The results Of the census will
be turned over to the House and
Senate District committees, which
are studying legislation to do
away with such dwellings. Police
look upon the "ramshackle alley
dwellings" as incubatorS for Grim
inals.
Not only will the census in
clude the number Of alley houses
inhabited and the number of
persons living in each, but it
will include the rent charged
for each house. The recent figures
will be used as an argument by
those in favor Of the abolition

WIDER H|GHWAY
PROPOSED

Preliminary steps toward the
widening and improving of the
Lincoln Highway feeder route
between the District and GettyS-
burg, via Rockville and Frederick,
Nd, would be authorized under
resolution introduced in the
Senate by Senator Goldsborough
Of Maryland.
The measure would authorize
the Secretary Of Agriculture to
make a survey and examination
to determine the probable cost of
widening the highway to 100
feet. The ultimate object of the
survey would be the improvement
of the route and its subsequent
designation as Lincoln Mem.

Senator Arthur Capper. Of Kan.
saS. chairman of the Senate
District committee, has submitted
to the Senate favorable reports
upon two local pieces Of legiSla,

nounced today.
In addition to considering the
market bill, the committee at
that time will also take up the
measure which would allow the
District Commissioners greater
latitude and power in closing
streets and also the bill which
would increase the authorization

Before July
The market bill was introduced

Kansas, chairman Of the COM
mittee, in order to provide the
city with a centrally located re-
tail market after the old Center
Market Is torn down.
Center Market is to be razed to
make way for the new Depart

Tenants of the market have
been ordered to .vacate before

priation of 100000 for the &C.

market. and $500, 900 for the con
struction on the new site.
