9DWOMEN TOLOSE
Jobs IN TREASURY
Temporary Employees Have
Been Used in Exchanging
Types of Paper Money.

With their work completed on count
ing the old paper money taken In ex-
change for the new Small-SiZe curren-
cy, 80 woman temporary employees of
the Treasury Department will be dis
missed March 81, 1t was learned today.
The women were given employment
last July and August, with the under
standing they would probably have work
up to February /, so, it was emphasized
by Treasury officials, they received two
months longer employment in the tenn
porary positions than had been ex-
pected.
The women now are employed in
what is known as the National Bank
Redemption Agency of the Office of the
Treasurer of the United States, who Is
Walter o. Woods
This cut in the force of the Treas
ury is an indication of the end Of
another important phase of the huge
task of changing from the large TO
the small size paper money, and means
that the temporary heavy work is over
and the bulk of the exchange accom-
pliShed. There are still outstanding
some large national bank notes, but
they will come in during the course
of women counters located in the Treas
quate to handle the subsequent turn
over.
The new small-size paper money has
proved popular with the public, ac-
cording to reports reaching the Treas
ury, and the few complaints due to
two different sizes of currency have
faded out as the new smaller money
has displaced the old. In Washington
it Is now unusual to get large-size bills.

CITES HOOVER POWER
IN NAMING JUSTICES
Representative Hall Says President
Can Shape Policies for Future
Through Appointments.

President Hoover, by appointing SUI
urene Court Justices, has the power TO
shape the course of great national poll
icies for many years to come, 1t was de-
clared last night by Representative Al
bert r. Hall of Indiana in an address
before the Y. M. c. A. Forum.
Fate already has made 1t necessary
for the President to appoint two new
Justices and the man he selects for
Justice Sanfords successor will be
watched with interest by those who
realize the vast authority Of the SUI
preme Court. Representative Hall said.
One usually thinks of court as a
tribunal where decisions are reached
according to the plain facts of the law"
the speaker stated, but it is well known
that even among the members of the
highest court there frequently arise diff
ferences Of Interpretation and shadings
Of opinion. little weight to one side
or the other may have vast poten-
tialities."
Mr.. Hall also discussed other current
topics. A showing Of The Evening
Star Universal news reel completed the
program.

MESSENGER MOURNS
DEATH OF EX-CHIEF
Colored Custodian of White House
Executive Office Feels
Loss Keenly.

Probably no one outside the family of
william Howard Taft mourns his death
more or experiences more profound
grief than William Marshall Pannell,
colored custodian of the White House
executive ONCE.
Pannell was closely associated with
Mr.. Taft as his personal messenger
while the latter was Secretary of War,
and was his valet and messenger during
his Presidential campaign in 1908. and
assistant doorkeeper at the executive
office while Mr.. Taft was President.
During Mr.. Taft's last illness Pannell
frequently was at the Taft home, max
ing inquiries as to the condition of his
old chief, and to offer his services to
the family. He was in a group of old
friends who attended the services at the
church and who will go to Arlington
Cemetery for the interment.

LEASE OF A|RPORTS
NEAR BRIDGE URGED
Chamber of Commerce Dis
favorS Purchase, but Ap-
proves Temporary Field.

The leasing of the two flying fields
at the south end of Highway Bridge,
rather than their purchase, until such
time as Gravelly Point can be developed
into a municipal airport, was recon-
mended yesterday by the Washington
Chamber of Commerce, acting through
its executive committee.
The official action followed the read
ing of a detailed report on the Situa-
ton by Lieut.. Walter Hinton, chairman
of the aviation committee.
A resolution, unanimously adopted,
opposed the recommendation of the
Joint Airport Commission for the pur-
chase and development of the site at
the south end of the Highway Bridge
for either a permanent or temporary
airport 1t urged the joint commission
to prepare and introduce in Congress
legislation for the development as soon
as possible OF municipal airport at
Gravelly Point and for the financing
Of the entire project.
Arguments Cite Expense.
1t further advocated the leasing of
Hoover Field and the Washington Air
port as a temporary measure, but only
on the condition that the owners OF
the property carry out present improve
ment plans.
The principal arguments contained
in Lieut.. Hinton'S report were that the
site advocated by the congressional
commission, headed by Senator Bing-
ham, would be more expensive to ac-
quire and develop than Gravelly Point
and that it never could provide ade-
quate aviation facilities for Washing
ton.
Pointing out that Gravelly Point is
already owned by the District of Co
lumbia, while the Bingham site would
have to be acquired at a. considerable
cost, Lieut.. Hinton reckoned that the
proposed appropriation Of $4,000, 900
would produce an airport only 280 acres
in extent at the south end of the
bridge, while at Gravelly Point the
sum would permit the filling in and
development of almost 500 acres. He
estimated that the land, now under
az feet of water. could be filled during
a two-year period.
Dredging Economy Seen.
The creation of this new land, he de-
clared, would narrow the river and con-
sequently accelerate the speed of the
current, thus saving the Government
considering expense in dredging the
channel which costs about $4,000
annually.
One of the chief objections to the
Bingham site, as set out in the report,
was that it will not provide adequate
seaplane landing.
As proof of his assertions that
Gravelly Point is by far the most de-
sirable airport site, Lieut.. Hinton called
attention to testimony presented at the
hearings of the Joint Congressional Air
port Commission. He said the over
whelming majority of experts chose
Gravelly Point as affording far more
natural advantages than any other
location.
