Washington milk prices exceed

to producers, the cost to con-
sumers, and the margin of profit
allowed distributors.
But the prices we're far from
the peak registered at Miami, Fla,

figure is considerably higher than
the lowest, 9.5 cents a quarter,
at Evansville, Ind.
D. C. Average Is Cents
According to the AAA, which
made the figures public today,
the Washington price to con.
sumers is Is cents a quart, the

quart.
Margins paid distributors range
from 81 cents a quart at Topeka,

SITE ENDORSED.
| IN LETTER To
REP. NORTON
FIatIy Oppose Subcommittee
Position; Call 1t Ideally
Located For Airport

Construction of a municipal
airport at Gravelly Point was to-
day decisively Endorsed by the
District Commissioners in a letter
to Representative Mary T. Nor.
ton CD of New Jersey, chair
man of the House District Com.
mittee.
The Commissioner took an ex-
actly opposite stand from that Of
the airport subcommittee of the
District Committee, and said
flatly that they favored the
Gravelly Point site and adoption
of the Smith bill for construction
of the flying field in that area.
The subcommittee had definite.
ly opposed the Gravelly Point
site in it's recent report.
Still Favor Gravelly
Tie Commissioners said:
"The commissioners continue
to favor the Gravelly Point
site, believing it to be ideally
located for the needs of the
District of Columbia. 1t is of
suitable size, capable of expan-
sion and on all sides free from
obstruction which would incur
flying hazards. 1t can be
conveniently reached in short
time from the center of the
city and can be developed SO as
to become model airport"
Referring to the Smith bill,
which authorizes expenditure of
$2,500,000 for the airport and pro-
vides that the District should pay
interest at per cent on one-half
of the amount, which would be
repaid to the Government, the
Commissioners said:
"The Commissioners do not
feel that the District of COlum.
bia should be obligated to pay
the interest as required by
Section 5 of the bill"
IN SMITH REPORT
The letter in which the Com
missioners reported their views
was by way of a report on the
Smith bill introduced by Repre-.
sentative Howard Smith CD Of
Virginia, entitled "a bill to estab-
fish a commercial airport for the
District of Columbia" and
naming the Gravelly Point site.
After years of delay and months
of wrangling, without solution,
while pilots complain of the lack
of an adequate airport here,
Chairman Norton had indicated
that she would ask the President
to name commission to select
the airport site.
Her proposal was Immediately
interpreted as a move to place
the problem On the White House
doorstep.
Representative Norton said
yesterday she thought a "disin.
terested" commission, including
experts on aerial matters, should
be named to pick the site for the
Capitals airport. She said:
81 am not in favor of the
Neutrality-suspicious. Airport or
the Gravelly Point site, but I
do feel that the final selection
should be made by a committee
which knows the needs of avia-
ton and is qualified to pass on
the proper Site"
The Randolph subcommittee,
which has been considering the
airport problem, is understood to
be prepared to recommend that
a commission of seven members
be named to select the site.

to writer's In the production Of the

dred writer's will work for Cronyn
and his immediate superior, Floyd
Dell. director Of the project.
When you talk to Cronyn about
what he has done and the places he
has been, it seems entirely natural
that he should be an encyclopedia.
After one has been nearly every
where and done nearly everything,
one qualities perfectly as an encyclo-
pedist. 1t Is as logical as an egg
becoming a chicken, or something
like that.
Essentially, Cronyn is a writer. a
novelist. In the process OF acquiring

writes he has tried his hand-and
his mind-at being stone mason,
cowboy, farm hand, art teacher,

dramatist. shipping clerk. editor, ad-

1t may sound impossible. but
Cronyn says it's true in q tone that
carries conviction.

an unqualified success in his widely

Cronyn was educated in the public

he encountered the broadening in

posted him in Washington as a

as any infielder, excluding first
basemen, in the league.
His average for the past sew
eral weeks is up around the 200
mark, and he's been riding the
ball to the fences. In yester-
days game he Whacked timely
single into left field and then
walloped one to right center that
Simmons caught after a long,
hard chase. If that wallop had
dropped in it might have turned
the ball game around, Dykes
might possibly have removed
Lyons from the game.
AS quiet as he is effective,
Bluege is anything but a negative
character on the ball field. He
was tossed out of the pastime yes
terday for disputing a decision by
Brick Owens. Owens called Bluege
out at the plate on a split second
play that might have been called
either way. This very quiet, studi-
GUS young man got up waving his
arms and what he said must have
been plenty. In any event, he
was thrown out for the afternoon.
Refused Cleveland Bid
It was one of the very few times
that Bluege ever has been chased
to the showers, but its a good
thing that he's waking up now.
The front office in Washington
has been credited with many
things, some with justice, some
without. But one of the smart
moves unqueStionably was the re-
fusal of Harris to be talked into
trading Bluege at the winter meet
ings in New York, and during the
spring training season when Wal
ter johnson approached Harris on
the subject of trading Bluege for
a nice, fat check.

Maybe you've had your own
ideas on that subject for long
time. Probably you agree with
critics that nowhere in the majors
is there as good a fielder as
Bluege, but, it is contended, that
Ossie, a miracle man with his
slight of hand around short stop,
third or second base. can't hit.
Right now, Bluege is hitting,
and as we whirl along on the vor-
tex of time toward that clash of
the luninaries in Cleveland on
July 8, his hitting entities him to
a place on the American League
team.
Bluege has only two serious
rivals among American League
short stops. One of them is Bill
Rogell of the Detroit Tigers, and
the other is either Joe Cronin of
the Red Sox, or Luke Appling of
the White Sox. Appling is hitting
only .257 or whereabouts, so that
gives him no edge over our own
Ossie. Rogell is not setting the
league on fire either at the plate
or in the field, so how can he be
better than Bluege?
Cronin is playing better ball
in Boston than ne did in Wash
ington, but is not the ball player
he was a couple of years ago,
so how can he outrank Bluege?
Winning Job Inspired Bluege
Bluege's batting average for
the season is not a true gauge
on what the veteran is doing
now. He went more than Is
times with only one hit in the
beginning of the season. But
since Harris handed him his
glove and said:
"The short stop job is yours
until you prove that you can't
play it."
He's been hitting about as hard

a busy weekend what with seven
games on schedule.
In the first named class,
Boyd's Pharmacy plays Washing
ton Flour, Cubs engage the
Mohawks, Toms Plymouth opposes
St. Anthony's and A. B. C. Radio
tackles Sunbeam Market.
The Pewee schedule finds
Colonial A. C. meeting the
Websters, the Petworth Flashes
tangling with the Columbians
and the Little Taverns meeting
the Otis A. C. All teams are
urged to get in touch with Joe
Cohen, president of both Sec
tons, to find out the diamonds
and hours for these games.
The two sections got off to a
flying start on June 8. The
Insect class found Washington
Flour, st. Anthony's, Toms Ply
mouth and A. B. C. Radio
triumphing while the Little
Taverns, the Otis A. C. and the
Columbians were victorious in
the PeWee division.
One of the surprises in this
opening play was the loss taken
by the Cubs. This team was
one of the strongest Of the
younger class last year, its re-
cord reading no losses during the
entire season.
