MUNICIPAL AIRPORT
is HELD SOURCE OF
PROFIT TO DISTRICT
Bingham, Outlining Advan-
tages of Project, Sees New
Source of Revenue.
BELIEVES TREASURY
SHOULD GET RECEIPTS
Senator Emphasizes That Field
Would Not Be Used for Gov
eminent Aircraft.

A substantial amount of revenue
should be derived from operations of
the municipal airport to be established
at the south end of Highway Bridge, in
the opinion of Senator Bingham of
Connecticut, chairman of the joint con-
gressional airport commission.
Senator Bingham said today he pre-
sumed the receipts would go into the
Treasury to be used toward meeting the
cost of operating the airport, as is done
in the case of other self-sustaining
municipal activities.
While members Of the commission
cannot predict the probable income
from those who use the airport, Sena-
tor Bingham said he saw no reason why
1t should not reach a considerable sum.
Would Give Title to United States.
In local discussions of the airport
plan, one of the arguments mentioned
has been an airport at the south end of
the Highway Bridge would be subject
to the control Of the laws and taxes of
Virginia. Senator Bingham pointed out
in this connection that large part of
the proposed site is already Federal
property and that the intention is to
give title to all of the land to the
would be under control of the District
Commissioners.
Senator Bingham suggested that Il
the airport legislation goes through
there probably would be appointed by
the District government an airport
manager to study administrative details
including the question of fees to be COL
lected. He said that in some cities
space in hangers is rented, while In
other places leasing arrangements are
made for the erection of hangers. There
would also be the question Of charges
to be made for storage of planes and
for other uses of the field.
Would Be for Commercial Use.
He called attention to what he said
was another mistaken view regarding
the airport, that it would be used to a
large extent by Government planes
The Government, he said, has already
made plans for development south OF
Boiling Field to take care of future
needs of service planes. The proposed
airport near Highway Bridge. he de-
clared, would be for commercial planes
and the regular uses of q municipal
airport.
Senator Bingham expressed the hope
today that those who are not enthusi-
astic over the plan now under consid-
Grafton would not block it.
THE commission has worked hard
and sought the best expert information
available in arriving at this conclu-
'sion," he said.
The bill to carry out recommends
tons Of the commission is being put In
legislative form and Is expected to be
ton in the House and Senate. The
measure may have to be referred to
regular committees for reports before
being acted on by Congress. It is not
likely, however, that this would occa-
sion much delay in view Of the long
consideration given to the airport prob
lem already by members of the Senate
and House who served on the joint
commission.

GAMING PADLOCKS
WILL Be SOUGHT
Amendment to Law Will Be
Asked of Senators, Rover
Says After Farley.

An agreement providing for drastic
amendment Of the gambling laws to
permit padlocking has been reached
between United States Attorney Leo
A. Rover and District oficials, it
was, learned today. The recommen-
dations will be submitted tomorrow
to Senator Robson, chairman of the
Senate District subcommittee on police
affairs.
While Rover was reticent when asked
to discuss the matter, it Is understood
that a provision similar to the paddock
arrangement of the Kenyon red light
law probably will be suggested.
No matter how stringent gambling
laws may be made" said Rover today,
I'VE will never be able to obtain maxi
mum enforcement until the chief Of
police has at his disposal suf1cient
plain clothes men, not. known to the
gamblers, who will be able actually to
place bets and by Encouragement be
Doubts Barricade as Evidence.
Rover continues to doubt the validity
Of q proposed amendment to make the
mere existence of a "barricaded" door
prime facie evidence that the place is
being used for gambling. He is eX-
pected to oppose the adoption Of that
suggestion.
There has also been suggested, it is
stated, that the law be amended to
make the mere possession of gambling
paraphernalia mlSdemeanor. Such
provision, it Is pointed out, would have
to be carefully worded, so that it would
not ban the playing of private bridge
games by making the ownership Of q
pack Of cards q violation of the law.
May Inspect Clubs.
Information concerning gambling es-
adjustments conducted In the name of
club" Is expected to be facilitated by
q proposed addition to the license laws
which would provide the right of Dis
trict officials to make inspection of the
premises when desired. OF course, this
will not be included in the changes of
the gambling code now under considera-
tion
The conference of officialS at Rover's
office yesterday afternoon lasted two
hours. There were present Mai. Henry
spector William S. Shelby, head of the
Detective Bureau; Assistant Corporation
Counsel Vernon Z. West, representing
Corporation Counsel Bride; Building
Inspector John w. Oehmann and Fire
Marshall Charles G. Achstetter, repre-
senting Fire Chief George S. Watson.
Chairman Robson said today the next
meeting of the subcommittee would be
held as soon as possible, but the time
has not been definitely fixed. When
this meeting Is held, the subcommittee
is expected to receive the recommends
tions and suggestions of local officials
as to what additional legislation is
needed to enforce the gambling laws
in the District.

RETIREMENT BILL
AWAITS CONFEREES
Senate and House Members Will
Prepare Measure for Final
Approval.

Senate and House conferees will meet
within few days to put the finishing
touches to the Government employees
retirement bill, which has passed both
branches of Congress but in different
forms.
The Senate late yesterday designated
Senators Dale Of Vermont, Couzens OF
Michigan and Mcclellan of Tennessee
as its confereeS. Managers for the
House were expected to be named today.
The Senate passed the retirement
measure in January. Representative
Lehlbach of New Jersey had worked out
a new plan of retirement, but, following
hearings, compromise measure was
reported, including the salient features
of the Senate bill, with portions Of the
Lehlbach proposal included. This bill
passed the House two days ago. The
purpose of the conference is to consider
additional features incorporated by the
House.
Indications are that the conferees
will reach an early agreement and sub
NIT it to the Senate and House for
approval.

Coast Guard Of those grades, no in
crease in the. actual pay of the lowest
three grades Is recommended.
1.-THE board believes that, since these
are the lower grades of responsibility,
occupied by men in the earlier stages
Of their military service, and since a
large part of the increase in the cost of
living for enlisted men has been abb
sorbed by the Government itself by ac-
tually Subsisting and quartering Them,
the present rates are adequate. In the
four higher grades, however, an ap-
proximate 20 per cent increase is rec
commended. This increase lis warranted
by the greater value to the service and
the greater responsibility of the men in
those grades"
Clothing Allowance Increase.
More liberal allowances for clothing
are recommended for the enlisted men.
1t also proposes that the existing re-
striction on the percentage OF the au-
thorized number of enlisted men OF the
Army ard the Marine Corps In each
pay grade be removed and the distri-
button be made at the discretion OF the
heads of the respective departments,
subject to ultimate control by the ap-
preparations made by Congress, as Is
now the case for the Navy ana the
Coast Guard. This would permit ad-
vancement in rank and pay for enlist
ed men under more favorable condi.
lions than at present In the Army ana
In the case of women nurses of the
Army and Navy, the board recommends
that the subsistence allowance be ols-
continued and it proposes that women
nurses of the Army, Navy and PUBIC
Health Service receive pay ACCORDING
to the following schedule:
Superintendent, $4,000; assistant SUI
perintendent and director, $4,000; as
sistant director. $2.400; chief nurse,
S2,l00; nurse acting as assistant 10
CHEF nurse, $1,000; nurse, $l,5OO.
$I2O for Each 3 Years.
All members of the Nurse Corps
would receive an increase of $l2O
year for each period of three years OF
service in the Nurse Corps, not exceed
ing Is years. Members Of the Nurse
Corps when not furnished public quar-
tiers would be granted cash allow"
ance in lieu thereof of $50 q month.
The board says that the recommend
ed pay for nurses Is somewhat less,
except in the lowest grade, than that
granted those in civil life, but the
greater assurance of continued employ
ment and the existing age retirement
privilege compensate for the minor dis.
advantage IN pay of the service nurses.
The range OF compensation for serv-
ice nurses Of the lowest grade now Is
from 81 ,059 to $1,779, while under the
proposed schedule 1t would be from
81 500 to $2,100. The range for a SUI
perintendent now is from $3.50 TO
$4,279. while under the proposed sched-
ule 1t would be from $4,000 to $4,000.
The increases for intermediate grades
are proportionate.
