REVIEW
REQUESTED

Reconsideration by the Dis
trict Commissioners of their ad-
verse report on a bill to establish
a municipal air port at Gravelly
Point was urged today by repre-
sentatives of civic and business
organizations.
The bill in question provides for
purchase of an airport site at a
cost not to exceed $2,500,000, to
be borne equally by the Federal
and District governments. Under
terms of the bill. the District
would not begin to pay until 10
years after passage of the bill,
and then. would pay $250,00O a
year for five. years.
The Commissioners, in report
ing adversely on the bill several
days ago, pointed out that it is
impossible to forecast the finan-
cial condition of the District 10
years hence and that there are
many other expenses to be met
by the local government.
The committee today declared
that the airport must be estab-
lished some time in the near
future and expressed the belief
that the proposed bill provides
the easiest solution.

asked that a colored person be

yanked the cabman's hat from
his head, it was revealed today.

charged with striking the diminu-
tive taxi driver, following an auto

100000 damages has been en-

Samuel M. Barrett, At, sole jury
man who stood for Representative
Shoemaker's acquittal, today re-
vealed how a hung jury could
not determine what constituted
assault, and thus caused a mis-
trial.
On five ballots the count went
from 8 to 4 for acquittal to to 4
for conviction, and wound up II
to l for conviction.
Traffic Policeman Howard M.
Overstreet explained his connec-
ton with the case to The Times
today. He said he knew both Rep
resentative Shoemaker and Mr..
Newman. He went to the taxi
driver at the Representatives sug-
gestion to say that damages to
the taxi would be made good by
Representative Shoemaker, he
said.
Mr.. Newman, Policeman Over.
street claims, informed him that
the case was in the hands of his
lawyers "becauseif 7 don't sue him,
he'll have me in jail"
Issue Confused
Policeman Overstreet asserts
that all the time he was talking
about adjusting damages to the
taxi, Mr.. Newman was referring
to the alleged assault upon him
by the Representative. This con-
fusion of issues, Policeman Over
street says, resulted in the investi-
cation ordered by inspector L I.
H. Edwards, assistant superinten-
dant of police.

Senator King Backs
Loans to District

Senator William H. King CD
of Utah, chairman of the Senate
District Committee, said today
that if it becomes definitely
known that PWA money for
local projects cannot be obtained
as direct grants, he would favor
legislation to permit the District
to borrow those funds as other
municipalities do.
The Senate District Commit.
tee chairman still holds hope
that the PWA will make the
money available as a grant, and
said that plans are under way
with that end in view. He ad-
mitted. however, that if necessity
demands that legislation author.
izing the District to borrow the
money be enacted, he will lend
his support to rushing the pro.
poSal through the Congress.

ANTS FUNDS
REPAID AS IN
OTHER CITIES
PWA Administrator Plans I'M
mediate Conference With &.
D. C. Officials

Legislation to permit the Dis
trict to borrow from the Public
Works Administration as other
cities do is planned by Secretary
of Interior Ickes, PWA admins
traitor.
Under existing laws the District
Is not permitted to borrow, which
makes all funds advanced by the
PWA out-and-out grants. Other
cities are required to finance 80
per cent Of all PWA projects.
Immediate Action Planned
The Secretary has declared he
will seek an immediate conference
with the District Commissioners
to work out loan plan He said
he would aid in preparing the
legislation.
Administrator Ickes made known
his stand on District loans in re.
sponse to questions concerning
projects here totaling more than
SIS, 900, for which applications
have been filed. He said:
''When you talk about a Pub
lie Works program here, you
must take into consideration
that we can make nothing but
outright gifts to the District for
any project. In any other city,
the locality bOrrOws 20 per cent
and furnishes the other 30 per
cent out of their own treasury.
We get back the 10 per cent. In
the District Of Columbia, we get
back nothing.
POINTS TO TAX RATES
'"The District certainly should
help pay for public works here.
1t has one of the lowest tax
rates in the country for a com.
parable city.
"ThiS city wants a sewer pro-
gram. Personally, would like
the District to have it, but I
want it to contribute to the
cost"
He said the conference with
District officials probably will be
called early next week. If a
plan can be arranged, he said,
the necessary legislation would
be rushed through to enable
early realization of the projects
here.
CorrectS misunderstanding
At the same time the admins
traitor declared some newspapers
have misunderstood" his stand
on several proposed projects
here, including the tuberculosis
Sanitorium. He said:
81 have never declared that
there was no hope for this
Sanitarium project; the munich
pal center, or any others.

funds available now, but that
they would be given every con.
