Teachers' Post
ToFiight Reds
In Boston

BOSTON, Mass, Feb. 1l.-Or-
ganization of the Boston Public
School Teachers Post of the Amer.
lean Legion is practically COM
pleted. DR.. Charles E. Mackey,
chairman of the school committee,
announced.
The new post, formed to combat
any threat of communistic propa.
ganda made toward the schools,
will total about 400 veterans of the
World War, the school board head
said.
AS soon as the Legion post is
completely organized, an auxiliary
post of women relatives of vet.
Grams will be formed among the
feminine teachers, he said. DR..
Mackey added:
"The Boston Teachers Post
has been formed as a counter.
offensive to the threat of com.
muniSm against schools and the
school children.
Boston school teachers are
100 per cent American, but mem.
bershi4 of their teachers in a
Legion post will be an inspira.
ton to the pupils and setback
to those who attempt to preach
a doctrine of communism.
Il believe that the creation of
an American Legion post,
formed solely of Boston school
teacherS-the first such post in
the cOuntry-will go a long way
tO~ard preserving the ideals of
Americanism which should be
fOstered in all public institutions
of he nation"

Adequate protection off Alaska's

He appeared in support of his
bill which would appropriate 100
million dollars for the establish

have capacities for 1000 air.
planes.
The bases would be located at
strategic points throughout the
United States, Alaska and Pan
anna. He added:
"The United States has fol
lowed a policy of unprepared-
ness. We have been isolation
lists. Because we have not been
a war-like nation we have not
built a large military establish
ment.
Japan has no metals. We can
not overlook Alaska's rich de-
posts. 1t is nearer to Japan
than to the United States. This
bill is simply a defense meas
ure."
Chairman McSWain of South

OWEN ASSA|LS
BANKING BILL

Former Senator Robert L. Owen
of Oklahoma, who last week as.
sailed Senator Garter Glass (DD
of Virginia for his attitude on the
Administration banking bill, today
issued a statement warning that
the real issue confronted by the
Government is public or private
control of banking and finance.
Pointing out that both the
Democratic and Republican par
ties recognized this in their ma
tional platforms, Senator Owen
said:
"The banking bill contains TO-
odd pages. 1t could have been
written on one page cOnven-
ientIy. The real issue is public
control of credit and currency,
though which the nation con-
tracts all of its business, and
private control.
THE bill could have been
written in the following words:
1.-The Federal Reserve Board
shall exclusively control in the
public interest the open market
operations of the IL Federal Re
serve banks, the rate of interest
and discount and direct the
ratio of member bank reserves
and with such power restore

FUND To BUILD
AIRPORT
US. Must Give Money for New
Field; Greater Need for
Schools Told House

The District of Columbia is not
prepared to finance the estab-
lishment of a commercial airport
without substantial aid from the
Federal Government.
District residents are in greater
need of schools and other local
improvements than a new airport

missioner, who appeared before a
subcommittee of the House Dis.
trict Committee to testify on the
Smith bill, which provides for
the establishment of an airport
at Gravelly Point.
Commissioner Hazen told mem.
bers of the committee that while
Washington is in great need of
suitable commercial airport, such
a project would necessitate a re-
Vamping of the tax laws, since
no money is available at present.
The Commissioner added that
the Federal Government, more
than the District government,
would benefit by such an air.

A bill, drafted by Representa-.
tive Howard w. Smith (DO of
Virginia, provides that the Fed
eral Government pay the ex-
penses for the airport, that after
1O-year period, the District
government begins paying half
the cost, with no interest in the
interim.
Members of the committee OBJ

the District government is al.

interest and, they declared this
provision would be amended be-
fore the bill is reported out of

Capt. H. A. Halverson, of the

there were undeniable hazards in
erecting three airports in such

the case if an airdrome is estab.
