He went to San Jose that day and
interviewed the officials of the bank,

him all the information they pos

the matron.
THAT is Nance Beiden," was the
reply.
From the ferry he went at once TO
the home of Mrs. Rudolph Merton. He
stuck the photograph under her nose
and asked gruffly: is that Penelope
Gatlin?"
A tremor ran over Mrs. MertOn's
face. 1t seemed to Flynn that she was
frightened, disturbed.

expect the police to find your missing

Under the direction of Clarence e.

legs were then hobbled and by means
of sliding planks he was hauled across

Technical Proposal Of Commis-

Revision of the type OF examina-

to give greater opportunity to the
man with practical efficiency as op-

The development is result OF pro-

Result Is Expected.
The commission did not adopt the
technical plan offered by the Com
missioners, but it is said the desired
result will be accomplished by revision
agreed to by the civil service agency.
Under the new set-up physical ex-
aminations will be deferred until the
applicant has been certified by the
Civil Service Commission and is ac-
tually under consideration for pro-
motion. Form B type of examination,
used in the past, will be dropped.
There will be substituted the type of

AIRPORT ACCORD
EXPECTED TODAY
House and Senate Con.
ferees Scheduled to Take
Final Action on Bill.

House and Senate conferees are ex-
pected to meet sometime today to
reach final agreement on the District
airport bill. The House bill provided
for two commissions, one to select a
site and the other to proceed to &C
quire it with authority to spend ST.
SOC, 900 of District funds for the pur-
pose.
Senate Rewrote Bill.
The Senate rewrote the bill TO allow
the President to appoint commission
of seven members. but without author
ity to actually acquire site. This
commission would be limited to study
ing all sites and submitting a recon-
mendation to Congress for decision at
the next session.
It is believed the conferees will ac-
cept the main feature Of the Senate
bill, namely of limiting the commits
sion to the making of recommenda-
ton. There will be an amendment
allowing the commission to study sites
outside of as we'll as within the Dis
trict. The conferees are still debating
the question of the agencies from
which the personnel of the commission
should be chosen.
Letter Put in Record.
Meanwhile, Senator Gibson, Repub-
lican. of Vermont, a strong advocate
of Gravelly Point as the airport site,
placed in the Congressional Record a
letter from Frederic A. Delano. chair
man of the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission, restating
the position of the Planning Com
mission in favor of the Gibson Dill
for the development of Gravelly Point.
Delano told the Senator the Planning
Commission at its June meeting voted
unanimously to support the GIBSON
bill, believing Gravelly Point to be
the logical location. Senator Gibson
also placed in the Record a copy OF
a letter the Park and Planning Com
mission chairman wrote to House
subcommittee several months ago. set
ting forth in detail the arguments In
favor of Gravelly Point.
Senator Gibson believes the Federal
Government should share in the cost
of developing the airport in the Ma
tional Capital, and under his bill the
funds to develop Gravelly Point would
be advanced by the Federal Govern
ment with provision for the District
to pay back half of the cost later.

END Of D. c. RELIEF
NOT YET IN SIGHT
Lusk's Demands Bring
Prompt Replies That AboIi-
ton Would Cause Hardships

Demands by Rufus S. Lusk Of the
Washington Taxpayers Protective AS
sociation for abolition of relief here
by the end of June 80, next, brought
prompt replies today from District
officials.
Commissioner Allen. administrator
of relief and works, said:
"I think Rufus is exactly right. Re-
lief ought to be stopped. Further
more, think this hot weather ought
to be stopped, too"
Elwood Street, director of the Board
of Public Welfare, stated:
"Mr. Lusk Is not a whit more anx-
ious to end relief than are the District
officials charged with administration
of the relief and work relief pro-
grams. But how can we do it?
"If the new works progress plan
is completely successful in bringing
an end to direct relief by the Federal
Government, there still will remain
the community problem of caring for
the 4,500 cases of those who are In
the unemployable, class. How about
these unfortunates?
1.-THE plain facts today are that
1900 families, or a total of more
than SO, 900 individuals, have no other
support than relief operations. This
is a community responsibility that
must be met. Mr.. Lusk says We do
not need relief because conditions are
improved. Unfortunately, these thou
sands on relief have not shared in
returning prosperity"
Meanwhile District officials contin-
ued to plan continuation Of relief
The Commissioners today forwarded
to Federal relief officials q request for
q Federal grant Of $784,000 for Sep
tember. This compares with about
$s35.000 asked for August. The ac-
tual August grant was about $500, 900,
