drawn without consultation with any
group or interest but merely rejected
his own views, inspired by the urgency
of the situation.
Vidal, todays principal witness, tes-
tilted that many distinguished foreign
visitors have expressed their surprise
at the situation of Washington from
and aeronautical standpoint.
The outstanding impressions of for
eign aviation visitors Vidal said. ARE
first the night flying in the United
States, which they do not have IN
Europe, and second what terrible
airport we have in Washington. They
can't understand why the National
Capital should tolerate such a miser-
able airport"
Vidal was questioned as to the
method of financing the proposed air
port construction as result OF teStl-
mony by Maj. Paul A. HodgSon, As
sistant Engineer Commissioner, that
the District has no funds for airport
construction and would be opposed to
such expenditure until more urgent
needs are taken care of. Vidal said
that If the District can not finance
the project the Federal Government
should do so.
Chairman McSwain concurred with
Vidal's view, pointing out that the Fed
eral Government has spent $780, 600
toward construction Of Union Station
and improvement Of its surroundings,
while the District did not contribute a
cent toward this project.
Vidal testified that Washington has
one of the best airports in the United
States from the standpoint of accessi-
bility from the downtown section. This,
he said, is more important than the
question of mere size in the location of
an airport for air transport operation.
He testified that because OF its con-
venient airport location, Washington
contributes more air passenger traffic
than New York on the air lines between
ths cities. This difference, he said, Is
due entirely to airport location.
Expansion Is Suggested.
Vidal expressed the opinion that
Washington airport will be adequate
for the air transport needs Of WASH
ington If Military road is closed and a
portion of Arlington experimental farm
added to the landing area. The pro-
posed Gravelly Point site, he said. Is too
close to Boiling Field for safety.
The Civil Works Administration can
assist Washington in obtaining an air
port if the Federal or District govern
ment will acquire the property, Chair
man McSwain said he had been in
formed. He said he had received a
letter from Turner Battle, Assistant
Secretary of Labor and chairman of the
Public Works Administration Subcom-
mittee on Federal Projects, stating that,
in his opinion, funds still were available
for airport work if this site were ac-
quired Immediately. Civil Works funds
will be exhausted by February IA, Nc
Swain was informed.
Mai Clayton E. Emig on behalf OF
the Federation of Citizens Associa-
tions testified that in his opinion the
Gravelly Point site should be developed
as the permanent airport. Improve
ment Of Washington Airport by closing
of Military road as a temporary ex-
pedient pending construction of per-
manent airport at Gravelly Point was
proposed in letter received by the
committee from the washington Cham
Der of Commerce.

They believe the move is q clever
shift from the old gold price theories.
They figure he will now center on
reaching better commodity price levels
through domestic means. With all the
money the Government is now pouring
out, and natural business improve
ment in prospect, he should have little
difficulty in reaching his 1926 price
level within reasonable time.
That shift will permit him to handle
the international currency and gold
problem with view to restoring. sta
bility. thereby opening the way for .
resumption Of foreign trade.
II sounds like q better plan than the
last one.
Long and Short Of Money.
The long and short of senatorial
money matters are Senators Glass and
McAdoo. They came out Of the Presi-
dents Sunday night conference to-
gether, McAdoo towering at least feet
above Glass.
Glass 1Das pounding his fist in
his hand and telling McAdoo
strongly: "He didn't dare do 1t:
he didn't dare do it,"
Obviously Glass was inferring that
Mr.. Roosevelt did not dare seize the
Federal Reserve gold without congress
sional authority.
McAdoo nudged Glass and pointed
to the newsmen surrounding them.
Both Immediately became circumspect.
DR.. Sprague Not So. Clear.
The House Coinage Committee got .
lot out of Prof. Sprague's lecture on
Money" but not all Of it.
At one time Sprague concluded an
intricate explanation of q specific point
when Representative said: Nov, let
me ask you question"
The Representative then pro-
ceeded to ask the same question
lDhich Spr0gue had just dnsyered.
An observer leaned over to a friend
and said:
TT reminds me Of the story of the
college professor who had just conclud-
ed long and complicated explanation
to his class and asked, is it as clear as
1t was?' Whereupon a student re-
sponded:
"'Yes, but no clearer
In Mr. Roosevelt's message to Con-
gress he mentioned dollar devaluation
officially for the first time.

property custodian, suggested an amend
ment to the bill to prevent the filing
Of claims or suits by aliens during the
World War to recover the per cent
deductions made from the value Of
their property to cover the cost Of ad-
ministration. He said there Is an ex-
cess Of $4,000, 900 remaining In the

amount spent BY the Government in
settling the estates Of aliens after the
World War.
Palmer told the committee the Ger
mans ARE after that fund, and unless
Congress takes some action to prevent
them from getting 1t, it not only Will
represent q loss to the American tax
payers, but will force the Government
to spend several hundred thousand dol
lars more to employ . stan Of account

The hearing vss adjourned at noon
subject to the call Of the chair. Chair

CALCUTTA, January 1.-THE esti-
mates Of India's earthquake dead leaped
into four figures today.
Some observers said 1000 was q con-
servative estimate Of those killed in
Mondays catastrophe. The paralysis
Of communication lines made accurate
information most difficult to obtain.
Ohicials were conflning their state
ments to the list of known dead. still
standing at 112. but reports from avia-
tors flying over parts Of the shaken
area were much more horrifying.
Pead Placed At 1000.
Hundreds were reported killed at
Muzaffarpur. Some said the streets
were Uttered with corpses and that the
town lay in ruins.
(The correspondent Of the London
Daily Mail cabled his newspaper that
flyers who had viewed Muzaffarpur
would exceed 900. Hardly house re-
mained standing, the airmen said, and
water, spouting from tissues In the
earth, had created wide flood area.

Motihari and Barrah we're in ruins, the

Conflicting reports added to the con-
fusion of relief agencies. One dispatch
said the famous hill station at Oar.
telling had been severely damaged and
hundreds of houses hurled down the
steep hillside. Another report, however
said only q government building. the
post ONCE, railroad station and a few
homes In Darjelling were damaged.

Houses Reported Rased.
It was known for a certainty that q
least 80 were killed in Jamalpur and
l3S buildings destroyed. Tents and pro-
visions were rushed there.
There were numerous reports tha'
thousands Of houses had been damaged
Oh destroyed In various places, but II
was explained that these were mostly
built of mud and straw.

What's What
Behind News
in Capital:
Sound Money Policy
Returns to Fold
With Warburg.
BY PAUL MALLON.

"HE best tip on the new money
policy Is the fact James Warburg
will be around the White House
i again very shortly.
Warburg is the Presidential
money adviser who went out cussing
several months ago. when the Warren
gold price autogro was started. He has
not been back alone. He spent the in
Warren autogiro mode Of economic up
lift.
The return of the sounder money
prodigal to the White House fold will
confirm the recently growing suspicion
that there will be more Warburg and
less Warren in the money policy here
after.
Mr.. Roosevelt did not Jump into his
new money policy. He was pushed.
1t Is very touchy topic, and no one
wants to talk about it, but there seems
to be good cause for believing the bank
ers gave him the nudge which sent him
overheard.
They are practical men When they
saw his budget provided that they
should hande ten billion Of Govern
ment securities in the next six months
they began to make pertinent inquiries
about the future monetary intentions OF
the borrower
The answers they received about the
Government going to make big profit
out of devaluation some time IN the fu-
ture did not satisfy them.
They prefer to lend money on reali-
ties, not prospects.
