Delegation of Civic Leaders
Presents Views to
President.

A delegation of civic leaders of Wash
ington today told President Hoover of
their conviction that the post of Dis
trict Commissioner should be filled
from the ranks of men identified with
local civic affairs.
The delegation, led by Fred A. En-
cry, newspaper man and president of
the Society of Natives of the District
of Columbia, gave the President their
personal views during visit to the
executive Offices at the State Depart
ment. The President was told the
group was not acting as official repre-
sentatives of any organization.
Following the conference Emery said
no names were suggested to the Presi-
dent, the group merely desiring to as
sure Mr.. Hoover of their support of any
candidate he might choose from the
civic field.
No mention was made, it was said, of
Maj. Gen. Herbert b. Crosby, chief of
Cavalry, whom President Hoover has
selected as one Of the civilian Commits
SionerS.
Besides Mr.. Emery, those in the dele
CATION were George Wales, for many
years delegate to the Federation of Citi-
zenS' Associations from the Cathedral
Heights Association; B. Agee Bowles,
vice president of the Federation of Citi-
Gems Associations and president of the
Georgetown Citizens Association: Hugh
M. Frampton of the Citizens Advisory
Council of the District and member of
the Washington bar; DR.. Charles B.

Full Discussion Expected.
The Federation of Citizens Associa-
lions, which fatty refused to discuss
the merits of the appointment of Mai.
Gen. Herbert B. Crosby at its last meet
ing, is expected to thrash the matter
out to finish at its meeting tonight.
The chances now appear to be that the
action OF the President in appointing an
Army officer will be approved, or that
the federation, after allowing a full de-
bate. will vote to keep hands of" the
whole matter.
At the last meeting the technicality
which hoored those who sought to dis
cuSs the prospective appointment of
Gen. Crosby was that there were no
resolutions from member bodies before
the House for discussion. Tonight
there will be eight. Some of these
are In favor of Gen. Crosby, some are
opposed, some advocate the neutral
policy.
To deal with these resolutions, Presi-

special committee to report on the
resolutions tonight. Hugh M Tramp

Commission Will Recommend
Loan From U. S. to Be
Paid Without Interest.
PLAN is DECIDED CHANGE
FROM FORMER PROPOSAL
Report Will Include Landing Area
at South End of High
way Bridge.

A loan from the Federal Treasury,
to be repaid in full by the District
without interest. will be recommended
by the Joint Congressional Airport
Commission as the method of financing
the proposed airport for the District
of Columbia near the south end of
Highway Bridge.
This was made known today by Sem
ator Bingham of Connecticut, chair
man Of the commission, who said the
commission believed the airport fund
should be provided in this way, which
is similar to the plan proposed in the
Cramton bill for financing the park
extension program for the National
Capital.
Decided Change in Financing.
This is decided change from the
proposal regarding airport financing
which was under consideration by Con-
gress last year. At that time the COM
mission recommended that Congress
make an immediate appropriation of
$500, 900 from the Federal Treasury,
which was to be regarded as a Federal
port, with the understanding that the
remainder necessary would be met by
the District in its annual appropria-
ton BILL
Senator Bingham indicated that it
was felt at this time that the COM
mission could not obtain action on that
method OF providing for the airport.
Under the plan to be recommended
now the District would pay back the
money advanced by the Treasury in in
stallments over period of years.
Report Not Yet Complete.
Senator Bingham said the report of
the commission, which is to be sub
mitted to Congress, would not be in
shape to present today. 1t will outline
In detail the recommendation decided
upon yesterday to establish an airport
Immediately at the south end of the
Highway Bridge, taking in the two

sary.
The airport to be established inme-
diately would include the ground now
-naed by Hoover Field, the WASHINGTON
Airport, a part Of the experimental farm
of the Agriculture Department, and a
portion of Columbia Island.
The commission has not yet an

SONG AND PIANO RECITAL.

A large audience seemed to thor
oughly enjoy the program of songs and
piano music presented at the University
Club last night, under the auspices of
the entertainment committee, of which
Lewis Lotion Moneyway is chairman.
The artists of the evening were Robert
Richard Dieterle, baritone, and Nation
Boyce, pianist. The program was well
balanced and included some unusual
songs that were most attractive.
Mr.. Boyce, the pianist, is popular
here and he seemed to fuse particular
spirit and artistry into his interpreta-
ton OF the Chopin harp" etude, Palm
green's May Night" and the "Liebe-
stratum" Of List. His well known
the 'Motu Perpetuo" of Weber and the
Waltz In F" by Chopin. He gave Sind
1ng's "Rustle of SPRING as his encore.
DR.. D1eterle, the singer, is new
conner to washington. He comes with
an obviously thorough background of
study and experience. He sings very
well indeed and has a voice fine in tim
bre and controlled with the ease of real
artistry. AT the present time, the art
OF singing is not DR.. Dieterle's chief in
terest and occupation. This shows a
little. One suspects he studied many of
the songs on his programs very thor
Oughly some time ago and has sung
them many times. He knows them well.
Singing is his hobby and his more
serious aim is in another field. He is
a psychiatrist, doing special work at
st. Elizabeths Hospital.
Among the songs new or rarely heard
by Washington audiences were "Sotto
il Ciel," a beautifully constructed and
melodiouS song by SibeIla; "Wende Dich
III MIR" a biblical song by Dvorak:
ISRAELI" by King, and "Cato's Advice
an old drinking song, by Bruno HUM.
John Alden Carpenters setting of Dun
bars "Treat Me Nice" shows direct in
f1uence Of the popular "Lindy Lou" and
also showed that the singer was not a
Southerner.
DR.. Dieterle sang with fine enuncia-
ton in the Italian, German and Eng
lish, and he linked his phrases artist
cally. His two encores were Until"
and Drink to Me Only With Thine
Eyes" The applause warranted still
another encore. HF.

SPEED OF AIRCRAFT
IS HEARING TOPIC
:
Senate Committee May De-
termine if Navy Shall Go
Into Racing.

After two days of hearings precip-
itated by the resignation from the
Navy of Lieut.. Afford j. Williams, jr.,
crack Navy speed pilot, special sub
committee of the Senate committee
on naval affairs decided to go
thoroughly into the question of whether
Army and Navy planes in this country'S
service are sufficiently speedy and to
determine whether the Navy should
go into racing plane development to
keep this country abreast of other
nations.
Senator Willard E. Tydings of Mary
land, chairman of the committee, called
upon the Navy Department for data
on the speed of every type of naval
plane in use since 1925, when the Navy
officially dropped racing plane activities,
and comparative figures on the speeds
OF corresponding types of planes used
by other countries.
Figures to Be Given.
These figures are to be submitted
next week in executive session, and will
be studied by the committee to de-
termine whether larger appropriations
are needed for the Navy to carry on
experimental work with faster types of
planes, including racing planes.
Senator Tydings declared that in his
opinion speed Is one of the most vital
needs of military aviation and expressed
the opinion that the Navy is not getting
sufficient funds for experimental work
with a view to increased speeds.
Lieut.. Williams closed the hearings
by telling the committee that he had
entered racing plane development only
because he had been ordered to do so
by the Navy Department and that
once engaged in this development and
having raised funds outside the Navy
to carry on the work, he felt he was
obligated to carry the work on to a
conclusion.
Defended by Tydings.
Senator Tydings several times yester-
day defended Lieut.. Williams against
criticism by Navy officials. williams, the
Senator said. did not inStigate the in.
vestigation and, in fact, tried to prevent
it being held. He praised Williams fol

troversy with his critics, and when Ad.

cut the admiral off bluntly with state.
ment that the committee did not care
to hear that sort of testimony.
Il am convinced" Senator Tydings
said, that any nation which has the
speediest planes has a tremendous ad-
vantage in time of war. Apparently nc
effort has been made by the Navy since
1925 to get any money for speed devel.
opment. It is no consolation to us t.
consider that England, Italy and France
have faster planes than we have. dc
feel most keenly that If there are any
wars in the future they will be won by
speed"
