REPORT IS DUE

The much-diScusSed question of
a municipal airport for Washing
ton will be taken up at the meet
ing of the executive committee
Of the washington Chamber Of
Commerce today, when Lieut..
Walter Hinton, chairman of n
committee investigating the situa-
tion, will make his report.
At q recent meeting Of the
executive committee a subcom-
mittee was appointed to draft a
resolution opposing the proposal
to borrow $2,500,0O0 from the
Federal government to buy
Hoover Field and the washington
airport. The plan called for a
flying field on these two sites,
with the addition of the Expert
mental Farm of the Department
of Agriculture.
The Chamber of Commerce has
vigorously opposed the plan, hold
ing that Gravelly Point, already
Government owned, is the logical
site for a municipal field. The
attitude Of the Chamber drew
the severe criticism of Senator
Hiram Bingham, chairman of the
Joint Commission on Airport, and
Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg,
both OF whom charged that oo-
position of the local organization
was hindering the work of the
commission:
Whether or not a resolution
will be adopted at today's meet
ing has not been announced by
the committee of the chamber.

BRISTOL ID START
 SEASON SATURDAY
H. s. Prospects Bright-Eddle
 White May Pitch
(Snecial to the Herald)

Bristol, April 16-Coach Thomas NJ. Monahan of the Bristol High school baseball team stated yester- day that prospects for successful season on the diamond at the loca! institution this season were extreme ly bright. He asserted that his charges were potent at the plate and, with good pitching, they should enjoy a good season. Francis Hop" Murphy, Bristol highs stellar moundsman who won eight games last season, has been declared in eligible because of inability to pro- cure satisfactory marks in his stud ies. Murphy, a southpaw, was call cd the schools best player by Mon ahan. The only other casualty reg istered at the school is that of Louie Albertclli, captain-ele of the 1930- 31 basketball squad, who has cx- pcricnccd trouble with an injured knee. The diminutivc shortstop will not start the season with the Monahanmen.
 The first game of the season will be played Saturday afternoon at the high school athletic field against the | Bristol Boys club nine. The club team won the championship of the Twilight league last year, playing through a schedule of about 1 5 con- tests without meeting defeat.
 Names Tentative Lineup
 Coach Monahan released a tcnta- tive lineup for the Saturday tilt. 1 Competition for outfield berths IS keen and, for that reason, the fam ous athletic mentor would not name three men but, on the other Sand, gave the names of a half dozen from whom the fly-chasing trio will be chosen before game time. His choice for the catching position is Andy Palau, the outstanding receiv- CT of last years American Legion team. Eddie White, who has been termed the greatest basketball play CT ever developed at the institution, was picked to pitch in the opener.
 Ben Allaire has received the ini- tial sack assignment, and Mike

Man 112 Says Secret
 Of Long Life Is LiuuOr

Goodling, Idaho, April 16 (UP) A new recipe for longevity was advanced today by Elias Ark llosh. 112 year old rug seller.
 The surest way to live to be a centenarian in Arkkosh's opin- ion, is to do just the opposite of what prbhibitionists and other reform organization suggest.
 Yesterday he celebrated his 112th birthday and when asked to what he attributed his longev- ity jotted down the following:
 Hard liquor, strong tobacco, and a man-sized meal, consisting of two good sized steaks, smoth- cred with onions, plenty of po- tatoes, head of lettuce, several oranges and three or four pints of coffee.
 Arkkosh was born in Tripoli.
