NEW SET-UP FOR
 SOCIAL TRENDS
State Welfare Commission Takes Over ERC Journal
 For Publication

The office of State Welfare com- missioner Frederick c. Walcott will shortly take over the publication of the monthly magazine, Connecticut Social Trends, a journal issued by the Connecticut Emergency Relief Commission since January. The publication gives a comprehensive picture of the relief situation in the state each month and is sent to To- cal administrators and to newspa- pers throughout Connecticut.
 Curtailment of the EZRA in the state has led to the decision to transfer the sponsorship of the pub lication. In announcing the change, State Welfare Commissioner Fred erick Walcott said: "Inasmuch as unemployment and the resultant distress make up our most serious problem today, it has been deem- ed wise to continue informing the public officially as to how money is being spent and what is being done to find the cure"
 Dr. Charles G. Chakerian, who re- gently resigned as director of the State Planning board to enter the research division of the State Well fare department, has been editor of the magazine since it was started. It is not known whether he will con- tinue to edit the journal when the welfare department takes 1t over.

Bic ISSUE IN
OAR, POLL
Dispute Grows Over Endorse
ment of Book Listing Mrs.
Roosevelt as Radical

The triennial elections of the
Daughters of the American Rev.
olution next month today became
more and more enmeshed in the
ramifications of "The Red Net
work." a recent book listing Mrs.
Roosevelt as a Socialist sympa-
thizer.
It was learned today that photo
static copies of letter from Mrs.
William A. Becker, candidate for
president general of the society,
to Mrs. Elizabeth Dilling, author
of the book, approving the publica-
ton, and the authors denuncia-
tion of Mrs. Becker's subsequent
denial of an endorsement, are be.
ing circulated among D. A. r..
members.
Endorsement Disputed
The jacket of the book con-
tains an reimbursement" by Mrs.
Becker, in which she is reported
as stating:
'"The information is very
valuable and hope it will
stimulate many people to think
more about the destructive
agencies in our midst"
Subsequently, Mrs. Becker stated
that this was merely an acknoWl
edgment of receipt of the book
but Mrs. Dilling came back with
the statement that the D. A. R..
candidate had not only COM
mended the book but had asked
for 10 copies for D. A. R. head
quarters here in Washington.
Denial BY Mrs. Roosevelt
Mrs. Roosevelt, who has been
drawn into the elections by this
interchange of statements, de-
clared the other day that "The
Red Network" was inaccurate in
many of the statements about her
and further asserted that she was
taking no part in the D. A. R.
elections, or even in its session
here April IA to 20.

SUBCOMN|T |TTEE
MAKES final
INSPECTIONS
GraveIIy Point Location Still
Considered; DeIano Urges
Its Selection

Members of the House D.
trict subcommittee were making
tour of inspection today OF pos
sible sites for Washington's new
airport as a storm of protest
broke over reports the subcom-
mittee had dropped consideration
of Gravelly Point.
Representative Jennings, Ran
dolph, CD of West Virginia,
chairman of the subcommittee,
said today the rumors were false
and members of his group had
an open mind on all possible sites
here. He said the subcommittee
would visit the Benning Road
area so that all possible sites
could be considered.
The committee already has
visited the Gravely Point site and
Washington Airport. The mem
bers seemed impressed with the
possibilities of both sites.
Decision Tomorrow
Chairman Randolph has prom
ised a definite decision by the
subcommittee tomorrow. The rec
concentrations, he said will
be reported to the full House
District Committee Wednesday
morning.
Meanwhile, Chairman Ran
dolph had before him letter
from Frederic A. Delano, chair.
man Of the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission, who
urged selection of the Gravelly
Point site as the only suitable
location for WaShington's airport.
Mr.. Delano outlined a 10-point
program to back up his reasons
for the Gravelly Point location.
Site Easily Accessible
Mr.. Delano points out among
other things that Gravelly Point
is the most accessible of any site
to the downtown Washington
area; that a field of adequate size
could be developed there within a
reasonable time for a sum not ex.
ceeding $2,50O,00O, and that there
is adequate space to extend the
airport for future needs.
Simultaneous with the Delano
plea for Gravelly Point came
strong argument from the Wash
ington Board of Trade in favor
of the same location. Clarence A.
Miller, chairman of the aviation
committee of the trade board, told
Chairman Randolph every civic
and trade body in Washington
would put up a united front to
oppose any other site than GRAY.
