OF AIRPORT URGED.
Capt. Thomas B. Doe Makes
Plea Before Federal Avia-
ton Commission.

Immediate construction Of q model
airport for washington as the starting
point of a Federal program Of aviation
development was recommended to the
Federal Aviation Commission today by
Capt. Thomas 3. Doe, former president
Of Eastern Air Transport.
Present airport facilities IN WASH
ington, Capt. Doe said, are little bet
ter than clearing on the edge of the
city dump"
The local airport should be devel-
oped as part of the Federal airways
system under the direct supervision
OF permanent Federal aviation COM
mission, responsible directly to the
President, Capt. Doe recommended.
Facilities Declared Disgrace.
"The present airport facilities in
Washington are disgrace to the Ma
tion," Doe told the commission. mot
only can we not compare Washington
facilities with croydon, lie Burget,
Tempelhof and others in capitals Of
the world, but we cannot even COM
pare them with airports built and
owned by cities Of 80 or 40 thousand
population all over the country"
Declaring that no other nation has
the combination of long distances,
large volumes Of business and gen.
eral demand for high-speed trans
portation to a degree comparable with
the United States, Doe said that the
United States was under greater
necessity Of developing aviation than
any other country.
"Above all, we cannot afford to neg
1ect it here in the Capital" Doe said
"A model airport here owned and
operated by the Federal Government
IS in my opinion the starting point
for a constructive development of this
industry.
Exhibit Urged.
"Such an airport should not only
have the latest airport equipment, but
should also have q display showing
the latest improvements In airplaneS,
engines and equipment. These will
be continually changing for several
years and such display would be
most instructive. ! believe it would
attract thousands Of casual visitors
as well as those interested in aviation
and would be Of untold value in edu-
eating the American people in avia-
tion. even 60 so far as to predict
it can be made self-supporting within
five years"
While president of the former East
ern Air Transport System, Capt. Doe
made a personal survey of the airport
situation in Washington with view
to the development of an airport for
his company. This activity was
terminated by Federal cancellation of
the airmail contract last February.

thus she saw again the mark upon
his cheek, and looking, sighed; IN
deed. it was the veriest ghost OF a
sigh, yet Barnabas heard it. and
straightway forgot the fingerpost,
forgot the world and all things IN
it. save her warm beauty, the red
allurement of her mouth, and the
witchery of her dropping lashes;
therefore he reached out his hands
to her. and she saw that they were
trembling.
"Cleone." he murmured, "oh,
Cleone-look up!"
But even as he spoke she recoiled
from his touch, for, plain and clear,
came the sound of footsteps on the
road near by.
Signing, Barnabas turned thither-
wards and beheld advancing
toward them one who paused, now
and then, to look about him as
though at a loss, and then hurried
IN again.
A very desolate figure he was, and
quantity pathetic because Of his
gray hair, and the empty sleeve
that tapped helplessly to and fro
with the hurry of his going-a
figure. indeed, that there was no
mistaking.
Being come to the finger post, he
paused to look wistfully on all sides,
and Barnabas could see that his
face was drawn and haggard. For
a moment he gazed about him
wild-eyed and eager, then with a
sudden, hopeless gesture, he leaned
his one arm against the battered
sign post and hid his face there.

drawn her tyrant'S head down upon
her gentle bosom and clasped it
there.

tary arm about her; but not con-
tent with this, my lady must needs
take his empty sleeve also, and,

she held it there.

When Tarzan spoke to him, the great beast
came to a sudden stop. "Quiet, Tantor, it was
Dango. He is dead" said the ape-man. AS the
eyes of the elephant located the carcass of the hy-
ena he charged and trampled it, as he had tram
pied Dorsky, to a pulp.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1934-06-13

Tantor, startled by the help cry of Tarzan, had
turned back from the river without taking water.
He struck straight through the jungle in answer
to the call of the ape-man; and now he came
charging into view, a titanic figure of rage and
vengeance.

His ankles free of their bonds, Tarzan was upon
his feet. He called the elephant to him. Tantor
came quietly to his side and stood with his trunk
touching the ape-mans body, his rage quoted and
his nerves soothed by the reassuring calm of the
ape-nnan.
