DISTRICT PRISON
STUDY PLANNED
Prison Industries Board Ex.
; poets to Complete Survey
by January |.

The Prison Industries Reorganiza-
ton Board, one of the planning agen-
cies being financed by Federal funds,
soon will start an intensive survey OF
the industrial activity at District penal
and correctional institutions, District
officials announced today.
Request for the survey was made by
the Commissioners few days ago at
the suggestion of the Board of Public
Welfare. Welfare Director Elwood
Street advised the Commissioners the
Federal board already is engaged in
such surveys of institutions in 13
States.
The study will deal not only with
industrial operations and allied activi-
ties of the District penal institutions.
but also with the actual and potential
markets for the prison-made products.
James P. Davis, executive director
of the Federal agency, told the Com
missioners today the survey would be
completed by January /, If possible.
The Commissioners had asked that the
findings be available by that date so
they could consider them in connec-
ton with proposed appropriations for
the penal institutions for the next
fiscal year.
The Welfare Board told the Com
missioners it believed the survey would
result in development of more diver
sified and effective industrial plan and
improve the relations between the IN
dustrial activities and the training
of prisoners for occupations.
Street hopes the survey will give
the outline of q longtime. construc-
tive program for industrial operations.

AIRPORT RUNWAY
NEAR COMPLETION
Portion Involved in Title
Dispute Expected to Be
Finished by Sunday.

Foundation work on the main WASH
ington Airport runway across Military
road is being put in place today. and
by Sunday all runway construction
will be completed on the portion Of
the airport involved in the title dis
pute between the airport and the Fed
eral Government, it was announced
by Samuel J. Solomon, airport
manager.
The National Park Service has
warned the airport management twice
that it is violating property rights OF
the United States in its expansion
program and has submitted to Secre-
tary Ickes a recommendation that the
Justice Department be asked to insti-
tute court proceedings against the air.
port. This recommendation now is be-
fore Ickes for transmittal to Attorney
General Cummings.
Work Near Completion.
All of the main 4,200-foot runway
has been completed except the small
section across the Military road right
of way. Solomon said. and this section
probably will be completed by tomor-
row night. making the entire length
of the runway available for weekend
air transport operations. More than
half of this runway is on land claimed
by the Federal Government.
Half of the shorter 3,000-foot rum
hot tho in nd fhe
railroad bridge over Military road has
been completed and grading of the re-
manning half, between the main run
way and point between the field ter
minal building and the Eastern All
Lines hangar now is being completed
As soon as the Military road section
of the main runway is completed paw
ing of the remaining half of the short
runway will begin, Solomon said, prob
ably by Saturday.
Most of the taxi strip connecting the
ends Of the two runways and border.
ing hangar line has been completed
Construction Of an apron covering
$500 square yards in front of the ter.
minal building Is to be started as soor
as the short runway is finished.
In Dispute Since 1871.
Solomon pointed out that the ques-
tion of title to the old Roach's Run
area, which crosses the airport, has
been in dispute since 1871 and that
there is no prospect that it will be
settled at any time in the near future
unless action is forced. This con-
troversy has embarrassed the airport
management since the local air trans
port terminal was established and has
repeatedly held up needed airport i'm
provements. The present runway
construction program is indispensable
If Washington Is to continue as an
air transport terminal. he pointed out.
Several times with the past year
air transport operations have had to
be suspended at Washington Airport
because of soft ground. Giant sleeper
planes now being put into operation
by American Airlines through WASH
ington cannot be landed here safely
except on hard-surfaced runways. 1t
is contended, and they now are being
flown over Washington without stop
ping, except on flag stop when condi-
tions are favorable, pending compile

few Of his friends knew of his es-
thetic attributes. Since then, many
prominent men who have come to
know Sam for his diplomacy and
courtesy at the F. B. I. have pur-
chased some of his pictures. Hoover
has acquired several of them and has
encouraged Sam to continue his art
efforts.
Sam is an individualist in SO far as
art style is concerned. Beyond spo-
radio coaching by several older art
lists. he has had no training in tech
nique. That is why his shows are
so interesting and why they are vis-
tied by high departmental officials,
judges, writer's and other acquaint-
ances.
Among the paintings to be exhibited
are "At Sunrise" and stormy
Weather" colorful pictures which
were accepted by the recent Greater
Washington Independent Art Exhibit
for display In local department stores.
Sam declares 1t will be his greatest
exhibition and invites all his friends
