by WiHred A. Aiken, young bank
teller, on July /, 1888, when he

fair with q correspondent in the
case at the time Of his disappear
ance when the hoax suicide took
place.
Police Of washington and Flor
ida worked on the case for weeks
after the river was dragged and
the body could not be found and
finally Aiken was located in a
southern State. Shortly afterward,
he returned to the city and again
departed with the correspondent

GRAvELLY POINT
HAS SUPPORT
Of SENATORS
King, Gibson Plan to Investi-
gate Private Interests Be-
hind Fight for Airport

Senate advocates Of Gravelly
Point today were preparing a
solid wall Of resistance to any &C
ceptance by Congress Of any
other site for a local airport.
Senator William H. King, chair.
man of the Senate District Com
mittee; Senator Ernest w. Glib.
son, author of a Gravelly Point
measure, and Senator Harry
Flood Byrd CD.) of Virginia, who
is backing Senator Gibson, are
preparing for a full investigation
of the matter.
Senator Byrd, who joins with
Representative Howard w. Smith
(D.) of Virginia to have the air
port on the Virginia side, said:
"I'm for Gravelly Point. I
want the site in Virginia and
1 am willing to go into the
matter with Senator Gibson,
although he has not conferred
WIFI me aS yCGs
AGREE ON INQUIRY
Previous to this conversation,
Senator Gibson and Senator King
entered into an agreement to
take up the matter of investigat-
ing the private interests back OF
the airport fight when the Ver-
mont legislator comes back from
a visit to his home State.
This action is expected to force
the whole issue into the open
and the evidence produced by the
House subcommittee will be given
close scrutiny before the Senate
enters into any agreement with
the plan to pass the selection on
to a commission.
Eugene Vidal, director Of the
Bureau of Aeronautics, said to-
day that the military road run
ming between Washington and
Hoover airports made the high
way extremely dangerous at the
present time. He told of taking
off from washington Airport re-
Gently and barely clearing the
road.
Had it not been that the plane
was in perfect condition "things
might have been different he
said.
Put Safety First
Mr.. Vidal insisted that the
Bureau of Air Commerce is in
terested solely in the safety fac
tor and that he and his experts
did not believe that an airport
should be used both for transport
and private planes. The director
said:
"Other cities do not use this
system, knowing that If a field
is to be used as q transport
plane terminal it is hazardous
to have private planes and
students flying around. Private
ships should use private fields
in suburban areas"
Mr.. Vidal also said that the
New Orleans airporU made Of
dredged sand was one Of the
finest airports in the country
and that it drained readily so
that the field was not Soggy.
Representatives Of certain air
lines flying into Washington said
they had no preference for the
Washington site but were con-
cerned in the time and safety
factors.

CITIZENS SEEK
FUND FOR NEW
EQUIPMENT
Subcommittee Hears Plea for
100000 to Replace
Antiquated Heaters

A strong plea for the 100000
supplemental appropriation re-
quested by the District Commits
sioners to replace antiquated
furnaces in the District schools
was made today before the Dis
trict subcommittee Of the Senate
Appropriations Committee by a
group of citizens headed by E. H.
Tucker, president of the North
east Citizens Association.
Calling attention to the fact
that parents whose children at
tend Blair School recently went
on strike until the dangerous con-
dition in that building was tenn
porarily remedied, Mr.. Tucker in
formed the committee members
that this item was necessary to
safeguard the health of thousands
Of children.
New ViaductS Asked
Mr.. Tucker also added his sup
port to requests already made for
$1,000 for a viaduct in line with
Franklin Street Northeast, $780,.
900 for a viaduct in line with
Eastern Avenue Northeast, $105;
900 for playground expansion, and
$4,000 for a survey for the
erection of new bridge at Penn
Sylvania Avenue Southeast.
Joining with Henry I. Quinn,
member of the Board of Educa-
tion, and Mrs. Walter S. Ufford,
president of the Southwest Chill
dren's Council, Mr.. Tucker also
spoke for the Citizens Advisory
Council of the Community Center
Department, asking additional
funds for community center de-
velopment in the schools.
Estimate SIashed
Mr.. Quinn pointed out that the
original estimate for this item
placed in the budget by the Com
missioners was $4,000, which has
been cut to $4,000. He asked
that this be restored in view of
the fact that the Community.
Center Department is attempting
to correct juvenile delinquency by
providing young peoples clubs, to
meet in school buildings and
take youngsters away from bad
influences.
Mrs. Ufford asked specifically
for money enough to establish a
center at Randall Junior High
School, pointing out that there
is no center in the southwest
section of the city.
Night Schools Urged
Mrs. Charles Goude, of the
Franklin Scott Key Parent
Teacher Association, and Mrs.
Joseph Lyddane, of the Conduit
Road Citizens Association, Joined
with other representatives of the
western part of the city to ask
the Senators to include in this
bill $4,000 to provide for night
schools in Western High School.
They declared the need for
night classes in this section was
emphasized by the distance that
the pupils in that section have
to travel now to get night classes.
This item has not been asked
for before.

Columbia Typographical Union
No. 101, accompanied by Paul S.
