PLANE Zone PLAN
Radio Control System to
Prevail as RunWays Are
Constructed.

Washington Airport today was to
begin operations under "zoned" sys-
TEN. with all airplane landings and
take-offs subject to radio control. as
safeguard against accidents due to
the present construction of paved
runways. Unless this system is re-
garded as satisfactory, on trial, trans
port lines now using the local terminal
have indicated they may be compelled
to abandon operations here during the
period of construction.
Copies Of a zoned chart of the air
port are to be placed in the hands OF
all pilots using the airport regularly

basis for future radio control Of opera
tions during the two months which

be required to contact the airport
control tower, which will designate
the areas open for the landing. Land
ings will be made only on direction

posed 4,200-foot main runway has

laying of q Stag and crushed stone
foundation for the asphalt runway.
which is to be 100 feet wide. An addi-
tional 200 feet on each side of the
paved surface will be graded and
rolled, making the available landing
area 500 feet wide.

the airline refueling pits in the load
ing ramp in front of the administra-
tion building. the airport has COM
pleted installation Of what is said to
be one of the largest gasoline service
stations maintained by any air termi-
nal. This station will be equipped to
handle from 100000 to 10000 gal
Ions of fuel month. Three large
fueling trucks now are in service. One
of them was just received from Roose-
velt Field, N. Y, to augment the local
feet.
Cutting Of trenches for the enlarged
drainage system, now being installed
as a part of the paving program, has
been slowed by the concrete founda-
tions of the grandstand at the former
race track on the site. These founda-
tions are being cut out and drainage
construction will 60 ahead this week.

Federation of State, County and Mu-
nicipal Employes-now more than
5000 strong-into permanent afdlia-
ton with the American Federation of
Labor, which is the parent body of
the A. F. G. E.
With one faction of the State-county-
municipal group favoring the present
provisional set-up, under which they
would be chartered by the A. F. G. E.,
and another faction seeking a new
arrangement which would give them
a direct charter from the A. F. of L.,
the council was prepared to recon-
mend that the convention go on rec
ord in favor of two propositions to
reconcile this conflict.
As . first step it is intended the A.
F. q. E. shall amend its constitution
to permit the others to come In as
an autonomous department. but still
subject to the jurisdiction granted to
the Government employees by the A.
F. of l.. The convention then would
call on the A. F. of L. to say whether
it is desired that this jurisdiction be
continued or whether the A. F. of L.
itself wants to take direct control and
make the Federal group independ-
ent of the Federal.
Plan Thought Satisfactory.
This plan was expected to be salts
factory both to the American Fedora
tion Of Government Employees and to
the other group, which is forming a
permanent organization at q conven-
ton opening here Thursday. At pres
ent, individual units of the non Federal
workers are joined to the A. r. g. Z.

T Tow to take care Of the half
~ dozen small nephews and
nieces orphaned by a truck
crash Saturday night was a
perplexing problem confronting James
Corley today.
Corley. brother of Mrs. Bertha
Tompkinson, 81, who, with her es-
tranged husband. Earl. 80, was killed
on the Washington Richmond high
way, sat in his hipdest home at 1901
Fourth street southwest and wondered
how his meager earnings as a grave
digger and odd-job man could be
stretched to sufficient proportions to
support the children.
Meanwhile, five of the youngsters
Earl, jr, IL; Clarence, IL; Jack, 8;
Ruby, 7, and Freddy. 3-were in the
Receiving Home, trying in their child
ish way to understand the tragedy
that had come into their lives. The
other child-Aloha Jean, 5-was en-
route here from Mount Holly, N. c.,
with her grandparents, MIR. and Mrs.
s. I. Corley, who were expected to
make arrangements for the double
funeral.
Earl, Clarence, Jack, Ruby and
Freddy were asleep when a policeman
came to notify their uncle of the ac-
cident The uncle, who always took
care Of the youngsters when their
mother was away, permitted them to
be taken to the Receiving Home-but,
he wanted it clearly understood: only
temporarily.
II love those children" he said,
land they love me. AS long as we
can get cornbread and water, we'll
get along somehow"
Tompkinson's father was killed
when he was small boy and he was
brought up in Illinois by man named
Wilson, Corley recalled. He worked
in the coal mines at Whitesville, w.
Va, until his back was injured in q
cave-in several years ago. Later he
went into the junk business. He and
his wife separated about two years
ago, but, for the sake of the children,
they saw each other frequently, and
he helped to support them.

order to facilitate replacement Of
lost, stolen or destroyed bonds.
Possession of the serial numbers.
it was explained, will materially
aid a veteran in securing dupll-
Gates of bonds, or in identifying
bonds recovered after they have
been lost or stolen.
The reason, Treasury experts
said, is that forging a change in
the name of a bond holder on
stolen bonds is possible, but forgery
of the serial numbers is practically
impossible.
Rules for the procuring Of dupli-
Gates were issued as follows:
I'm case of loss, theft or de-
structiOn of a bond the Treas.
ury Department, Division Of
Loans and Currency, Washing
ton, D. c., should be notified i'm.
mediately of the serial number
of the bond and the name and
address of the registered owner.
Upon receipt of such notice full
information as to requirements
for issuance of a duplicate will
be provided. Application for re.
lief in such cases will be gov.
erned in general by the regula-
tiOns found in Department Cir
cular 800, as amended. The
Treasury Department should
likewise be notified of the recOv-
