appointment of national safety
director and for the employment of
only skilled operators Of construction
machinery were passed today at the
annual gathering of the Advisory
Board of the Associated General Con-
tractors of America at the Willard
Hotel.
The resolution attacking the Code
Authority set forth that under the
terms of the agreement with the
building and construction industry
the N. r. A. had agreed to CO.
operate with the industry and that
all the promises made had been re-
pudiated.
The delegates went on record as
favoring the program under the $4,-
$50 ,000, 900 work-relief bill. but tenn
pered their approval with a stern
warning to the Government against
discrimination against small industry.
One speaker, Nick F. Helmers, presi-
dent of the body, told the delegates
that with the Government doing all
the buying for the huge work pro-
gram the small businesses would not
reap their rightful share of the bene-
fits. The trend of his talk was that
the administration of work-relief
measures had favored big business.

RUTLAND STUDIES
HEALTH TEST PLAN
Will Investigate Scope Of Pupil
Examinations Possible With
Funds Available.

Health Officer George c. Rutland
today began a study to decide to
what extent his office would be able
to make the proposed series of medi-
cal examinations of school pupils with
available funds and personnel.
He was to discuss the plan today
with DR.. Frank w. Ballou, superin-
tendent of schools. DR.. Ballou pro-
posed medical examinations for all
school children when they enter the
public school system, when they COM
plete the sixth grade, at the end OF
the junior high school course and at
the end of the senior high school
course.
DR.. Ruhland believes such a pro-
gram also should include children OF
the parochial and vocational schools.
There is doubt that the proposed pro-
gram could be carried out to any
where near a complete extent with
available funds and the present linn
tied staff of Health Department ply

KING KILLS HOPES
FOR AIRPORT BILL
Senator Indicates Passive
View on Proposal and
House Is DeadIocked.

Prospects for enactment Of airport
legislation for Washington. subject
of q nine-year campaign by local
aeronautical, business and civic Or
ganizations, faded today as Senator
William H. King of Utah, chairman
of the Senate District Committee, in
dicated he has no intention Of push
ing the matter in the Senate. The
local airport matter appears to have
reached a deadlock in the House.
where Chairman Mary T. Norton of
the House District Committee also
has said the bill will "have to wait"
Senator King, in reply to an appeal
from the Aero Club Of Washington
for early action on the Gibson bill,
providing for construction of a model
airport at Gravelly Point and for the
temporary improvement of Washing
ton Airport, said today he can see no
imperative need for action on the bill
at present.
Senator King said that he would
present the Aero Clubs request to
the District Committee, but that per-
sonally he would advise the committee
against action at this session.
AS q member of the National Cap
ital Park and Planning Commission.
which for nine years has indorsed
the Gravelly Point site, Senator King
said he is inclined to favor this site
as the ultimate location for the local
airport.
The chairman said, however, that in
view of the fact that the new Dis
trict appropriation bill is large and
the District in addition has just re-
eeived large public works administra-
ton allotments and has obtained au-
thority to borrow money for construc-
tion of courts buildings, he does not
feel that this is an appropriate time
to consider adding the cost OF an
airport
Washington Airport, he said, has
served Washington for a number OF
years and will have to be made to
serve for few years longer. He said
that, even should the committee de-
eide to consider the Gibson bill now
he could not see the need for new
hearings, IN view Of the thorough stu
dies made in past years by Senate
committees and by, the joint congress
sional airport group headed by former
Senator Hiram Bingham of Connecti-
cut.

DEFENDANTS HURTS
ESTABLISH HIS BOND
Semer Allowed Liberty on Charge
of Assault-Gets Fined
for Conduct.

Holding that the defendant had
been sufficiently punished by the off,
GERS for any assault he might have
made upon them, Judge Ralph Given
in Police Court today accepted the
personal bond of Charles Semer OF
the Transit Bureau on charges OF
assaulting Policemen Raymond E.
Maust and Irwin Lubore during
Semer's arrest yesterday on charges
of intoxication and disorderly conduct.
While he fined Semer SIS for in
toxication and $40 for disorderly con-
duct Judge Given looked at Semers
black eye and various other hurts
and decided he had come out at
the little end of the alleged fight
with the policemen, who claimed he
hit. kicked. bit and scratched them.
After imposing sentence in his court
Judge Given sent Semer before Judge
Isaac r. Hit for disposition of an
other intoxication case on which
Semer had been released on personal
bond.
In the report to police headquarters
the two policemen had listed their
own injuries, but had said Semer was
not injured, point upon which Judge
Given disagreed.

Police Maintained Ten.Day
Vigil Following Phone
Call to CouzenS.
HINT OF PLAN TO HARM
GRANDCHILDREN is TOLD
Inspector Burke Discounts "Plot."
J. Edgar Hoover Denies U. S.
Department Informed.

An implied telephonic threat to SEN
ator Couzens that two of his grand
children would be kidnapped or harmed
prompted local police to station a "a
hour day guard for the past 10 days
at the Wesley Heights home Of Mr..
and Mrs. William Jeffries Chewing,
son-in-law and daughter of the
Michigan Senator.
The detail Of three detectives. in
plain clothes, was withdrawn today.
however, when news of the purported
plot became public. No Department
Of Justice men were on guard.
Inspector Frank s. w. Burke, chief
of the Detective Bureau, said that Sem
ator Couzens telephoned him about
10 days ago about mysterious tele-
phone call made by man who inti-
mated that harm might befall the
Chewing children, William Jeffries
Chewing. Sd. 3 years old, and Ann
Couzens Chewing, 10 months old.
Extortion Suspected.
The man, Burke was informed, was
calling from another city, the location
of which the detective chief did not
learn. The man gave no details OF
the suspected plot, but it was indi-
Gated that the intention was to extort
a large sum of money from Senator
Couzens.
Nothing further was heard from the
man or any one else in connection
with the threat, although the mails
and telephone lines have. been watched
carefully. Inspector Burke ordered a
secret detail to place the Chewing
home, on Garfield street, under day
and night surveillance. They OBJ
served nothing suspicious during their
vigil.
Burke said today he is satisfied
there was nothing to the plot" Sen
ator Couzens declined to comment.
Hoover UNIFORMED.
Questioned regarding reports that
special agents of the Federal Bureau
of Investigation had helped to guard
the house, j. Edgar Hoover. bureau di-
rector, declared that none of his men
was assigned to this detail, and that
no request had been received for Fed
eral aid.
The bureau has no knowledge Of
any telephone calls or letters reported
to have been received by Senator
Couzens In this connection" Hoover
asserted. He declined to discuss the
case any further.
Chewing, employed by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corp, is stationed
in Richmond, Va, headquarters of the
Virginia district of the corporation.
The elopement five years ago Of
Chewing, then bank clerk, and the
then Margot Couzens was of wide
spread interest. Chewing later was
employed by the Mayfiower Hotel.
Recently he was appointed to q posi-
ton with the Governments bank in
surance agency.
