FIELD
URGED AS BEST
AIRPORT SITE
Owners Claim Ideal Landing
Facilities Can Be Provided
For Only $385,000

Cost estimates showing that
Hoover Field could be converted
into a model flying field for not
more than $385,O00, exclusive of
hangers, buildings, roadways and
lighting facilities, have been pre-
pared by owners of the property
for submission to Congressional
committees and other groups con-
sidering the best location for a
Capital airport.
Project Held Cheaper
Numerous arguments in favor
of Hoover Field as location for
the airport have been assembled
by it's sponsors. Among ad.
vantages claimed for it over the
psoposed Gravelly Point site are:
/. It would be most less costly
than development of Gravelly
Point.
2. The field could be extended,
filled and put in condition for
use as an airport, except for the
construction of hangers and other
facilities, in not more than six
months.
Ramp for SeapIanes
3. With the closing of Military
Road, which would be necessi-
tated if the program were carried
out, the field could be extended
to a point which would provide
an area substantially similar to
that which could be made avail

Ken Murray
Says:

That was funny about Rep
resentative r. ]. Cannon, ask
ing to have the galleries Of
Congress closed to the public
AT last, even the actors are
admitting it's a "bum show"
The Representative says that
some of the speakers, playing
to the gallery, talk for hours
on useless subjects. Well,
they should get new material
they're no different from
other comedians.
OF course, if they should
close it up, it's going to work
a hardship on a lot Of Wash
ingtOn students. Where else
can a tired brain find such
complete mental rest?
So remember
Give a Congressman enough
rope and he'll rig up q "fly.

MISS N NALLY
HITS MARRIED
PERSONS ACT
Marital Test Declared to Vio-
late Merit System and
to Discriminate

"When the Government goes
out to employ a capable, eff
cient, qualified person, it
shouldn't make any difference
whether that person is a man
or woman, married or single,
blond or brunette"
With these words, Miss Ger.
trude McNally, secretary of the
National Federation of Federal
Employees. today expressed her op'
position to the controversial mar
ried persons clause of the econ
omy act.
Merit System Violated
Miss McNally stated her prin-
cipal objection to the legislation,
which, she said, has worked
severe hardships on many mar
ried persons in the Government
service, is that it violates the
merit system in Government de"
partments. She declared:
ANY system which dlvldeS
the manner of appointment in
this way is all wrong.
"The Government is entitled
to the best persons it can get
for its jobs, regardless Of sex
or marital status"
Discrimination Hit
The married persons clause,
which prohibits the employment
of both husband and wife in the
Government service is grossly
discriminatory" Miss McNally
said, in view of the fact that it
initiates against the lower-sal-
aried workers.
It is also unjust because it per-
mits the employment in the Gov
ernment of persons whose mates
are employed outside the Govern
ment service.
The N. F. .. E. official also said
the operation of the law gives the
employees a feeling that they are
being treated unfairly"

OF Elected Board

George A. Warren was re-
ported as being opposed to the
Capper bill providing for an elec-
tive school board in a headline
in yesterdays Herald. This is
incorrect, as Mr.. Warren for
many years has been identified
with the cause of an elective
school board. Mr.. Warren urged
support of the bill in an address

CLERGY CALLED.
TEACHERS Of
RAD|CAL|SN
Rev. Shores Says Seminaries
Are Hotbeds of Red
Propaganda

The spread of Communism in
every walk of life, particularly in
the church through members Of
the clergy themselves, was de-
nounced today at meeting OF
the national defense committee
of the District of Columbia Daugh"
ters of the American Revolution,
in the Mayflower Hotel.
That clergymen of all creedS are
preaching radicalism from their
pulpits and are eXtolling the "red"
beliefs through their writings, was
told to the women by the Rev.
Robert Shores, past assistant rec
tor of st. Margaret's Episcopal
Church.
The clergyman told the D. A. r.
tn IT theological seminar1es
throughout the country are hot"
beds" of communistic propaganda
and that the seminary students
are becoming more and more radl-
cal in their beliefs.
Seminarians socialists"
Through questionable circu-
lated among pastors and theology
students last year, the Rev.
Shores said, it was developed that
the young men are most over
whelmingly socialists" and that
the preachers are opposed to mill"
tary training in the schools and
colleges.
A movement backed by many
clergymen is now on foot, he said,
to approach organizations through
out the country in an effort to
obtain enough backing to defeat
all pending legislation for punish
ment of persons advocating the
overthrow of the Government.
School Propaganda Hit
Red propagandizing in American
schools and colleges was described
to the meeting by Miss Helen Har-
mon, vice president general from
the District of Columbia D. A. R.
She eScribed the public
schools and colleges and uni
versities as breeding grounds"
for communists, where agents Of
Soviet Russia are installed to
make converts" of the students.
The spread of communism in
the colleges, Miss Harmon con-
tinued, is augmented by the fact
that the Reds are able to install
their own teachers and profes-
sors, who preach the tenets of a.
communistic form of government.
Public awakening"
In introducing the Rev. Shores,
Mrs. Bates Warren, vice chair
man of the committee on pa
triotic education of the D. C.
Daughters, declared:
"There is a real danger in
the inrOadS made by the Reds
in every walk of our daily life.
There is, however, a healthy
awakening on the part of the
American public to the menace
to it's home life and children.
'"TO our horror, we find
many clergymen introducing all
kinds of dangerous 'isms' that
will in time undermine the
moral character Of the cOun-
try"
The meeting was presided over
by Mrs. Rice Means, chairman
of the District national defense
committee.

In Gifts to Chest

Only two cities contributed
more per capita to the Commu-

Cincinnati lead the list with
per capita contribution of $3.45,
and Minneapolis second with
1899. Washington came next on

able at Gravelly Point, at a
much smaller expenditure.
4. Seaplanes should be cared
for at a floating ramp similar
to that used in New York harbor,
and separate facilities would be
necessary for land and sea planes
in any event, whether the air
port were established at Gravelly
Point or with Hoover Field as a
nucleus.
Closer Downtown
S. Gravelly Point would be too
close to the Army and Navy
fields on the eastern branch of
the Potomac, it is claimed,
whereas, Hoover Field is far
enough away not to interfere
with the military services. 1t is
also closer to the downtown dis
trict of washington.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-09-19
A Campaign Of Distortion

The campaign for the coming city elec- ton, were one to believe all he or she, as the case may be, reads in the anti-every- thing but Publisher Pape himself in the Pape Papers, is much like what the late Mark Twain said, when premature news of his death was once circulated "the report of my death is very much exaggerated"
 So, too, are the majority of stories clut- ting up the columns of these papers in their desperate effort in behalf of their accredited owner to not only discredit, but blaeken everything and everyone con- nected with the Hayes administration. Only the public's answer to this in votes in support of Mayor Frank Hayes can put stop, at least for two years, to such blatant arrogance.
 Until the sorry spectacle of this news paper combinations efforts of late years to inflict itself as political dictator upon the public began, issues, not personalities, were more or less the order of the day in election campaigns. The Waterbury American and Republican have digressed 50 Tar LOudy ITOIH LndL pOilcy LldL It dtl but appears that the office boy can edit and write headlines on those sheets for political stories. The output certainly proclaims it the work of no higher mentality.
 There is only one thing we feel sorry for and that is John M. Burrall and some of his republican associates who, either through necessity or party loyalty, have allowed their names to be linked with such company. As some one or other said earlier in the campaign, politics indeed make queer bed-fellows." And even there is limit in that respect to what decent citizens can tolerate
 However, that is neither here nor there. It's, as the fish-monger once remarked "their stinking kettle of fish" If they can stomach it, so can the public, not so easily duped, until October 9th, when it will render it's answer with decisive defeat at the polls. The democratic issues are clear cut with no axes to grind as in the case of that lost strayed or stolen Pape platform, everyone has become sick of hearing about It wasn't worth print ing to begin with. The answer for the average voter this year is not complicated, it's simple, merely - LOOK AT YOUR TAX BILL!
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-09-19
Anti-Pollution Plans

Some time in November at least four governors of New England states will get together to see just what actually can be done about pollution elimination in the Connecticut river valley. The states rep resented undoubtedly will be those through which the river flows or whose boundaries touch it's banks. Massachusetts and Con necticut are more vitaly concerned with this problem than perhaps New Hamp- shire or Vermont as both the former two states are cut in half by the biggest river in New England.
 We had thought that long since the federal government would have consid- cred the task of cleaning up this river sufficiently important to have allocated funds for the work. There is no question but what this is regional project that merits not merely prompt attention, but also the expenditure of thousands, even millions, of dollars to accomplish the ob- jective - clean streams that are free from } sewage impurities and factory wastes.
 Connecticut is pledged to such pro- gram and through local effort and initla- tive has accomplished wonders in ending pollution of natural watercourses and in establishing disposal plants. There are some communities still bit backward in catching up with the program. But in view of the fact that all that has been accom- plished has been voluntary little or no com- plaint can be voiced. However, the day is close at hand when compulsory methods will be adopted to make our streams avail able as sources of water supply or for other purposes that demand unpolluted waters.
 We honestly believe that if the New England states and the federal govern nert in cooperation created Connecticut Valley Authority to handle the several problems of pollution, erosion. and flood control much would be accomplished in a short space of time. It would lead to sim liar projects in the various other river valleys of the several states. Only by some such centralized campaign will we ever see our rivers completely rid of po- lutiOn. And 1t is something on which the health and advancement of many communities in the future depends.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-09-19
Subscribes To The Theory

The republican candidate for mayor, Major John M. Burrall, earlier this week is reported to have stated in an address in effect that the Hayes administration is piling up tax bills by awarding contracts without calling for competitive bids. This is undoubtedly leaf out of the Waterbury Repubilcan-American book which has been harping on this subject for quite some time and has made numerous efforts to prove that certain contracts let by the city were expensive because of failure to call for bids.
 On the basis of the several instances cited by the Pape-controlled papers it would be hard to condemn the Hayes ad- ministration for it's practice of awarding contracts on other merits than lowness of bid. Recommendations have been accept ed by our city officials from department heads who believed that certain firms or individuals were better qualified to fulfill the contract than those who had underbid them. Time and again this theory has proved advantageous to the city.
 Theoretically and often practically com- petitive bidding on contracts is the best and wisest policy. When it was proposed to the Legislature that it be mandatory in this city that such practice be followed we pointed out the fact that while oppo- sition to such law might not crop up in,- mediately at some future date there might be complaints that it restricted rather than aided. No one has ever sought to deny the political advantages of recorn- mending bid acceptances, but we have on several occasions denied charges of spe- cific instances of where the city lost money by such procedure. And we still main- tain that the Naugautck river trunk line sewer is just such one, facts and figures to the contrary.

One of the most beautiful woodland estates in eastern Canada has been deeded to the Province of Ontario by it's owner, Merrill Denison, playwright and producer of historical dramas for the National and Columbia Broadcasting systems. More than $300,0OO has already been spent by MT. Denison on the development of the property which comprises about 10 square miles of lake and forested country. The estate, known as Ben Echo, is situated about 60 miles northeast of Belleville, which is on the main highway between Toronto and Montreal. In making the gift which has been accepted officially by Pre- mier Hepburn, MT. Denison expressed the wish that the property would be used as an experimental forestry station and also as a summer camping and recreation al area for the people of the province and tourists. These wishes will be compiled with by the government which has al. ready begun it's plan for the creation ot a forestry reserve and experimental sta- tion in the area.

fungi. The notes on this topic brought prompt response from an authority on the subject, Ronald c. Hatton, director of the Im- perial Bureau of Fruit Production, who wrote to the Spectator let- ter in which he said in many parts of the British Empire "the suc- cessful tablishment of commer- cial orchards of such temperate fruits as apples and pears is seri- ousiy hampered by the difficulty of inducing the trees to rest ,suffi- ciently to produce a siZable crop"
 The Imperial Bureau of Fruit Production, which is situated al the East Mailing Research Station Kent, is now collecting informa- ton on the general subject of ar tificial wintering of plants.s
 MT. Hatton adds that in Banga- lore, the capital of Mysore, in southern India, 1t is "conhdently affirmed" that the success of apple cultivation is entirely due to in- duced dormancy in which ex- posture of the roots Is practiced. He describes the procedure thus: In the months of October-Novem- Der and NApril-May, when there is no risk of rain, the soil around the tree is removed to 8 distance of from two to four feet from the stem until the main lateral roots are exposed. These roots are left uncovered, all water being with held. The leaves wilt and are re. moved by hand-stripping. One tc two weeks later a compost of well. powdered sheep dung or artificial manures and red loam in equal proportions is packed into the ex. cavation above the roots. If there Is no rain the trees are subse. quently well irrigated about twice a week. Blossom appears in g fortnight and the fruit is ripe fir five months. Four weeks after tho harvest the treatment is repeated for the next crop. The usual lift of a tree under this treatment is under twelve years but two cropi of apples are obtained every veal or fourteen months.
