FUNDS FOR AIRPORT
OPPOSED BY D. C.
House District Committee Re-
ceives Unfavorable
Report.

Expenditure Of District funds for air
port purposes at the present time was
opposed by the District Commissioners
in a report on the Mcmillan airport
bill received today by the House Dis
trict Committee. The Commissioners
said that, while an adequate airport
for the District of Columbia is much
to be desired" financial considerations
make such project inadvisable now.
The report, however. did not inter-
rupt plans for hearings on the Nc
MILAN bill. A special subcommittee of
the House District Committee, ap-
pointed to consider the bill, met briefly
today and planned to begin formal
hearings at 10 am. Thursday. At this
time the subcommittee will hear a num-
ber Of witnesses. Invitations will be
sent to the District Commissioners, Col
Public buildings and Public Parks:
representatives of the washington
Board of Trade and Chamber of Com
merce and other aviation and civic
leaders.
In their report to the committee, the
District Commissioners dealt only with
section Of the Mcmillan bill, which
authorizes an appropriation of $100.0
out Of the revenues Of the District of
Columbia for the leasing of Washing
ton-Hoover Airport and the develop
ment, maintenance and operation of an
airport there. This amount would
cover the first fiscal year Of operation,
they pointed out, with other sums to
follow in subsequent years.
While the Commissioners believe
that the establishment of an adequate
airport for the District of Columbia Is
much to be desired" they said in their
report, they do not feel that under
the present condition Of the District
finances. such an airport should be
established at this time"

leave Immediately for washington with
more samples and f1ngerprints.
Bryant without Counsel
Bryant, the 19-year-old third men,
Der of the trio was without counsel
He has been subjected to rigorous
questioning. His first interrogation

ment -of Justice, who drilled him ex-
tenslvely In handwriting samples in

their own"
Letters from nearly all Of the other
departments were made public Satur-
day and are available for the study
of the Senate and House conferees on
the economy bill when they begin
meeting within the next day or two
to reach final decisions on the economy
program.
The Attorney General said he is in
favor of reducing the cost of operat-
ing the Federal Government and OF
large reductions In the cost of oper-
ating the Department of Justice, but
that such reductions ought to be made
by changing laws which place definite
duties on the department. One large
saving. he suggested, was a law elimi-
mating terms of court In a variety Of
places where It is not necessary to hold
them, but which adds to the expense
OF the department. He also suggested
consolidation Of judicial districts.

POPE Plus TO NAME
SIX NEW CARDINALS
Pietro Fumasoni. .Biondi, Vat.
lean Envoy to Washington,
One of Those Promoted.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press. ' s.
! VATICAN CITY. February 13-The
Osservatore Romano announced this
evening that six new cardinals would
be created at consistory March 13,
among them Pietro Fumasoni- -Biondi,
apostolic delegate to the United States
and Mexico.
Jean Marie Rodriguez villeneuve,
Archbishop Of Quebec, also will be ele-
waited, the newspaper says.
The others are Archbishop Innitzer
of Vienna, Archbishop Fossati of Turin.
Archbishop Della Costa of Florence
and Archbishop Dolci, papal nuncio to
Rumania.
Total Number Raised.
The number of cardinals thus would
be raised from 50 to 90 out of a pos
sible 10. The Italians, who have been
in a slight minority for several years,
again would be in the majority, 80 to
28. as Of the new appointees are
Italians.
The elevation Of Archbishop Fuma-
soni-Biondi means he will leave WASH
ington Immediately and a new dele
gate will be appointed. Prelates here
say he will become secretary to the
Congregation for the Propagation of
the Faith, which directs the missions
OF the church, and that the Pontiff
himself will become prefect of the con-
gregation, a post held by the late Car
dinal van Rossum.
The Popes decision to create the new
cardinals next month was a surprise,
for 1t had been stated previously in
Vatican circles that the consistory to be
held in March was primarily for the
appointment OF the three members of
the curia who will open the holy doors
OF three basilicas in Rome at the in
auguration Of the holy year.
First Named Since 1880.
This will be the first time Pope Plus
has named new cardinals in two and a
half years. At the last consistory, in
1880, the only appointment was that Of
Cardinal Schuster of Milan.
Since then death has lowered the
number of the church senate to So, 18
below capacity, a point which Is seldom
reached.
The pointiff's selections were an
noupced only few hours after the
funeral in Rome or Cardinal Fruthwirth
of Austria.
At the consistory next month two
cardinal priests will be raised to the
rank of cardinal-bishop. 1t is con-
Siocieu CERTAIN tIlaG CneSe Will be Car
dinal Cerretti, who was auditor to the
delegation at Washington for eight
years, and Cardinal Sincere, chamber
lain OF the Sacred College.
Four of the new cardinals will be left
to manage Observation-Disclosures WILLIE
neuve, InnitZer, Della Costa and Fossati.
Archbishops Fumasoni- Bioni and Dolci
will become cardinals of the curia, re-
siding In Rome
II Archbishop Fumasoni-Bondi is
placed In charge of the congregation
for the propagation of the faith he will
continue missionary work begun MANY
years ago. In 1916 he was apostolic
delegate to the East Indies and in 1919
delegate to Japan. He has been dele
gate to the United States since 1922.

most important military leaders among
allied commanders during the World
War, Is dead.
The chief Of stan Of the British army
during three years of that world con-
flict passed away suddenly yesterday al
the age Of rs.
Sir william had the unique distinc-
ton of being the only man in British
history to rise from the ranks to re-
ceive q field marshaps baton. He re-
ceived many decorations for service in
Indian campaigns and the Boer War as
well as In the World War. Among
these was an American medal.
In recognition Of his war service he
received o baronetcy and grant OF
10000 pounds in 1919.
y Sir william was convinced the west
ern front was the decisive theater OF
action in the World War and opposed
sending British forces to Macedonia
and Palestine or distant regions where
he believed commanders already had
substantial forces. He resigned from
command in February, 1918, a month
before o great German offensive, which
was interpreted as demonstrating the
correctness Of his views.

Before proceeding with prosecution
of the present case the Federal au-

of q connection of the latest plot with

Samples of the handwriting In the

tax on the processing of all cerials and
textiles.
Instead OF taxing wheat 100 per cent,
as under the domestic allotment plan.
he said, it would mean tax Of 6 or
7 cents on all proceSSed cereals, tax
ON all meats of a cent and tax on
textiles of n -cent q pound.
Such taxation" he added, "is bear
able and II assessed In this way, will
not disturb the present relation Of con-
sumption of the various commodities.
Discussing war debts, Baruch said:
Surely it would be fair rule to
refuse relief unless the burden Of a
debtors taxes ON his income is as
heavy as our own
1T is a difficult figure to determine,
and it may be In error, but l am told
that this test would rule OFT every
present claim on us for debt revision. "
AS Baruch concluded his prepared
statement, he turned to committee
members with smile and said:
Il don't know whether the picture
I have presented is gloomy or not.
don't believe it is the time to be
gloomy"
Senator Connally, Democrat. Of Texas
was the first to question Baruch, ask
ing him to give in more detail his views
on reducing the gold content of the
dollar, which Connally is advocating as
an inflationary measure.
Believes Gains Offset.
Baruch told him this would raise
prices for the new, reduced gold content
dollar, but the new dollars wouldn't
buy any more as their purchasing power
would decrease In proportion to the In
fation.
1.-THE farmer who owes money would
benefit" Baruch agreed with Connally,
but you could do the same thing for
him by printing paper"
Senator Reed, Republican, OF Penn
sylvania. pointed out that England went
end. but said in this country 1t would
require congressional action which
| would take at least a week
What would happen during that
, week?" he asked Baruch.
There wouldn't be nickel's worth
Of gold left in the Federal Reserve Sys-
tenn to put behind the devalued dollar. y
Baruch replied.
Reed replied that it would not only
| bring on panic in this country, but
would destroy Government credit for q
| period of two or three years while the
| courts were deciding whether it must
pay its obligations in old or new cur
| rency.
Senator La Toilette. Republican, OF
| Wisconsin, said wartime statutes still
on the books might prevent this situ-
alton. and Baruch agreed that bold
Z, Secretary Of Treasury might prevent q
run on the dollar by refusing specie

c. C. league, former member OF the

the saving required"
The Department of Justice, like most
other Government departments, would
have to dismiss employees, including
some prohibition agents, in order to
make the per cent saving in next
years appropriation, according to At
torney General Mitchell.
Replies to Bingham.
Responding to the request of Senator
Bingham, the Attorney General wrote
that more than SO per cent of the total
for the Department Of Justice is for per-
sonnel, ana that while appropriations
for the department have already been
greatly reduced. the work of this de-
partment has been increasing.
Forbidden by the Bratton -Costigan
amendment to effect the 5 per cent cut
by wage cuts, other reduced compensa-
tions or furloughs, we will be compelled
to discharge personnel or spread the
5 per cent cut over the other SO per
cent Of our appropriations, which would
make 10 per cent cut in those items

Referring to prohibition enforcement.
the Attorney General stated The
additional per cent cut imposed by
the Senate could only be effected by
discharging 289 agents of the Bureau
Of Prohibition and reducing the activi-
ties of that bureau accordingly. I am
aware that 1t has been repeatedly said
by some members of Congress that the
effort to enforce the national pro-
hibition law Is useless, that changes
are to be made and that we may
as we'll in advance of those changes
diminish cur efforts. My only expressed
view has been that. conceding our sys-
tenn is to be changed, we ought to con-
tinue to exercise such restraint as we
can over the liquor traffic through the
