Planning Commission to
Weigh Request for East
Potomac Field at Meeting.
N0LEN SAYS CONGRESS
ALONE HAS AUTHORITY
Aeronautics Board Looks Over Pro-
posal of Eastern Air Transport
to Build s Runways.

Park authorities. despite the gag
clamped down by Secretary Ickes on
speaking for publication, today ex-
pressed themselves as vigorously op-
posed to the use of East Potomac Park
as an airplane landing field. as pro-
posed by Eastern Air Transport.
The officials pointed out that If Con-
gresS permitted the use of this area as
an airport, the golf courses now located
there, the tourist camp, which Congress
itself authorized in that location, and
the double blossom japanese cherry
trees would have TO be eradicated.
The whole question will be laid be-
fore the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission at its meeting
next Thursday and Friday, the COM
missions city planner, John Nolen, jr.
said today. He pointed out that il
would take an act of Congress to divert
the use of East Potomac Park from
park purposes. The commission, Mr.
Nolen said, will consider various factors
including the noise of planes being
brought nearer to the Government
buildings and the effect on the use oi
adjacent park lands.
Not Advised Officially.
Officially, Mr.. Nolen pointed out, the
Commission has not yet been advised
of the proposal, but nevertheless Mr.
Nolen asserted today that he will bring
the problem to its attention in its
two-day meeting.

ENJOYS IN PANAMA
HEED STORES PLEAS
Will Stop Patronizing Commits.
saries Intended to Serve Only
American Staff Members.

PANAMA, November 10.-Members Of
diplomatic corps accredited to Panama
announced yesterday they will no longer
accept the privilege of buying at Pan
anna Canal commissaries, which Pan
anna authorities believe should serve
only American employees in the Canal
Zone.
Panamans for months have felt the
competition between their businesses
and the tax-free and Government
owned establishments in the zone is
unfair, since the latter have cut deep
ly into a major course of revenue for
Panama, the commercial tax.
Under the treaty of 1908 the COM
miSsaries we're established to provide all
things necessary and convenient" for
employees of the Canal Administration.
They sell foodstuffs rugs, novelties, per-
fumes and many other commodities.

MAKES SUGGESTIONS ON
PROPOSED BABY BONDS

Editor The Citizen:
Should the merchants, citizens,
county employees, city employees
and school teachers, lend their APP
prevail to the "baby" bond PROPOSE
ton, l would suggest to the board
of directors the following:
That no advancements in the
shape of bonds be issued on city,
county or school warrants for
more than so per cent of their
face value.
That the monthly issue be
limited. That certain percent
age of the monthly allotment be
made to the police department.
certain percentage to the fire
department. certain percentage
to those holding county f. and
F. warrents, G. r. warrents, school
warrants and warrants of the road
fund, and certain amounts to mer-
chants and others who have
frozen, city and county obliga-
tions.
Coupons of the denomination
of 25 and so cents should be is
sued TO make change.
That no transaction of less than
25 or so cents be expected with
the baby bonds or their coupons.
Ny impression is that bonds Is
sued under these restrictions will
be equally as safe and possibly
more so, than scrip issued by
many institutions, under present
conditions.
These are only suggestions COM
ing from one who knows no more
about money and finances. as dis

Since tobacco is a native Amer.

American cigarettes, representing
the latest and perhaps the great
development in tobacco manufac-
ture should be known the world
over for their quality, and that
people everywhere should reach
for them. Following the discovery
of America, the use of tobacco as
solace and a comfort spread
rapidly over the world. Tobacco
is one of the American products
almost universally used, so that
