D. {. AIRPORT
CALLED MOST
HAZARDOUS

"The Washington Airport Is
probably the most hazardous
airline terminal in the United
States"
That was the caustic comment
today of Dudley M. Steele, chair
man of the American Legion Ma
tional Aeronautical Commission,
as he arrived at the airport. He
added:
ut has the hazards of poles
and power lines. And, in addl-
ton, it has the unusual and COM
pletely absurd situation of road
across the center Of the airport.
"Such an airport would be a
disgrace to any city, and is
particularly so to the National
Capital"
Wartime Filler
Mr.. steele, a wartime flier, flew
here from Indianapolis, where he
has been presiding over meeting
of the national commission, at
the request of Representative j.
j. McSwain, chairman OF the
House Military Affairs Commit
tee to attend a hearing on the
McSWain bill authorizing forma-
ton of a Junior Air Reserve as
an adjunct of the Army Air
Corps.
At the Indianapolis meeting a
program with three important
points was adopted by the COM
mission, Mr.. Steele revealed. The
first of these calls for removal
of poles, power lines and similar
hazards from every airport in the
country used by airlineS.
To accomplish this, survey of
every airport in the nation is
being made. When all facts are
in, the Legion aeronautical COM
missioner in each State will be
notified of dangerous airports in
his State.
He in turn will pass on this in
formation to the Legion post in
the city where the hazardous port
is located. and the post, with
other civic organizations, will start
a campaign to have the hazards
removed.
To Fight Tax
A second point on the program
calls for action in IA States which
now charge a gasoline tax to com.
mercial airliners and other air
craft. The commission feels that
insomuch as planes do not use
the highways, collection of the
tax is discriminatory, since the
taxes are used for highway con-
Struction and repairs.
A third point calls for expan-
sion Of the National Guard Air
Service to all of the 48 States. At
present only 10 States have Guard
air units.
Federal authorities, Mr.. Steele
pointed out, are willing to supply
planes and other equipment if
the States will erect hangers, pro-
vide gasoline and oil and enlist
the required personnel.

Cupid Waits For Pair
Intent on Oh ympicS

PHILADELPHIA, July 15.-The
OlympicS are more important
than marriage to Marie Kibler
and Chester Phillips of the gym
nastic team, but then, they are
young enough to wait.
Mari, who is "a, and a five-and-
ten-cent store salesgirl in Philadel-
phia. and Chester, %, who will be
a senior next year at Temple Uni
versity, made their teams without
trouble, because they're both good.
The Olympic treasury had enough
money for Chester, but not for
Marie.
So the two decided they would
pay her passage out of the bank
account they had established
jointly to provide a marriage
fund. There'll be no honeymoon
until next spring, by present finan-
cial indications.
Marie is a blonde and Chester
a handsomely built young man
with an ambition to become a
physical training instructor. They
have been fellow performers for
five years at a German gymnastics
hall in Philadelphia.

'B0RGIA' HOPES
FOR REPR|EVE

OSSINING. N. Y, July is
G.N.SJ.-Strong hose of a re-
prieve reached paralyzed Mrs.
Mary Frances Creighton, in her
Sing Sing cell today in anticipa-
ton of death in the electric chair
tomorrow.
Confronted with the possibility
that the convicted arsenic muir
deress of Mrs. Ada Apologize
would have to be carried to the
death chamber, Governor Leh-
man departed from his usual
procedure and sent commission
of five to examine her physical
and mental condition.
The committee examined her
for more than an hour. Their
findings were to be reported to
the Governor.
In his instructions to the COM
mittee, the Governor made no
reference whatever to Everett
Apologize, husband of the slain
woman, also under sentence Of
death. 1t was believed, however,
that should Mrs. Creighton's con-
dition lead the Governor to decide
upon a stay, execution of Apple
gate would also be postponed.
Mrs. Creighton was visited yes
terday by her husband, John.
She persisted in her refusal to
permit her 15-year-old daughter,
Ruth, with whom Apologize was
in love, to visit her in the prison.

than a quarter of mile from the
cabin where they were shot to
death early Monday morning, fu-
neral services were held today for

Meanwhile the single-barreled
shotgun found in the cabin and
a lamp were sent by local au-
thoritieS to the Department of
Justice in Washington to have
fingerprints taken in an effort
to solve the mystery of the
death of the four.
Suicide Theory Disputed

oner, declared he is positive Mrs.
Smallwood killed her two sons
and her mother, poured oil from
the lamp over their beds, fired
them and then killed herself
But commemorative Attorney
Edward McC. Williams and other
officials who are investigating
the case are not willing to sub

theory and for that reason have
asked aid from the Department
of Justice.

yesterday, has been postponed
pending completion of investiga-
ton of the case.

only an Irishman could play such role -
except that McLaglens father is Scotch. His
mother is Irish. There were eight brothers as
large as or larger than himself.

England. When Victor was fourteen he ran

the money. Victor helped him search, found
the money and returned it to the Scot. He
was given E3 as reward.
He enlisted in the army next day - for
twelve years. At eighteen he persuaded his
father to help get his release.
He had learned something of pugilism and
