LAKEWOOD N. j., June 5.-The
possibility arose today that John D.
Rockefeller, sr., who for many years
shuttled with the seasons between his
estates in New York. New Jersey and
Florida, would spend his remaining
years here.
An employe at Golf House, his
Lakewood mansion, said he would
spend the Summer here instead of
going on to Tarrytown, N. Y, in a
couple of months and stopping here
again in the Fall.
Other employees expressed the be-
lief that the installation of a new
heating plant in the main house and
construction of sun porch meant that
he did not plan to go next Winter to
Ormond Beach, Fla He returned from
there Wednesday.
Rockefeller" said one of his
household staff, ''likes Lakewood bet
ter than either Ormond Beach or
Tarrytown."
Flood lights blazed throughout the
500-acre estate last night while four
guards were on duty instead Of the
usual one. No reason was given for
the increased precautions.
The multi millionaire oil man. who
will be 81 July 8, walked through the
house and examined the new sun
porch yesterday.
Servants said he looked to be in the
best health he has enjoyed for five
years.

D. c. AIRPORT SITE
PARLEY IS SOUGHT
Commission May Start on
Work During Summer,
Says Chairman King.

The work of selecting a site for
a model civil air terminal for Wash
ington may be started this Summer,
it was said today by Senator King
of Utah, chairman of the District
Airport Commission, as he sought
to arrange a meeting of the commits
sion, probably tomorrow.
I'VE can't take any final action
until Congress convenes next Winter"
King said, but am hopeful that
we may get subcommittee and pos
sibly experts at work on the actual
examination Of possible sites during
the Summer"
King said he had hoped to hold
meeting of the commission yester-
day, but had been unable to do so
because of the absence from WASH
ington of Frederic A. Delano, chair
man of the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission, who wished
to be present at any meeting of the
body.
Representative Nichols of Oklahoma,
secretary to the commission is leaving
tomorrow for Oklahoma, but Senator
King said he has AN understanding"
with Nichols, whose wishes will be
made known to the commission.
Subcommittee to Report.
King said the commission probably
will receive a report from its sub
committee on planning, composed of
Maj. Gen. Oscar Westover, chief of
the Army Air Corps, chairman;
Senator Austin of Vermont and
Representative Nichols. This report
will carry recommendations as to fu-
ture activities of the commission and
possibly as to the type of airport to
be sought for Washington.
There has been unavoidable delay
because of the tax bill and other
matters in getting the commission
started on its task" King said. I'VE
hope, however, to get the work under
way in the near future We prob
ably will be able to get subcommittee
to work and it will be possible for
individual members of the commission
to go over the records which we
now have before us and familiarize
| themselves with the problem"
Senator King said it is possible
! the commission may be called to-
gether sometime during the Summer
| to receive reports from its subcom-
mitteeS and give them further in
structions for carrying on the job Of
| determining the type of airport for
( Washington, its size, the facilities
required, the method of financing the
project and finally, the location of
| the site.
Congress Must Give Approval.
Whatever action is taken by the
commission will be subject to con-
gressional approval next Winter. No
start can be made on the acquisition
| of land or construction until the site
is approved and Congress has passed
both enabling and appropriations
| legislation.
Although Congress has authorized
an appropriation of $4,000 to defray
the expenses of the commission and
to provide for employment of experts
to advise the group on technical de-
tails, the commission has made no
request for funds and probably will
not do SO now, it was indicated. This
means that the commission will use
as experts only aviation officials of
the Bureau of Air Commerce and
the Army and Navy, it is believed.

Case Histories of Families

missionerS had asked. the District
relief autorities announced that
all "employable" persons would be
dropped from the local relief rolls
April /. This was done.
Since then there has been no
great pubic outcry for further re-
lief. There have been no riots, no
disorder, no mass demonstrations.
EvictionS have been few.
Was the relief demand over
stated by the relief authorities?
Is the public being lulled into a
false sense of security that all is
well?

dropped from the local relief rolls.
A few have been given w. P. A.
employment. What are the others
