After travelling all the way

Mcconnell Long, William F. Den
man, who won't say he is and
won't say he isn't planning to
oppose the reelection of Senator

around. and went right home
again last night.
It turned out that the widow
of Huey P. Long, who was once
Denman's law partner, didn't
know she was to have a visitor,
and abandoned the Capital for
a trip to her home in Louisiana.
Questioned about his rumored
candidacy against Senator Rob-

did insist Robinson would have
opposition. Huey Long fought

Airport Plan

Settlement of the 10-year-old
controversy over the establish
ment of permanent municipal
airport here ran into difficulties
in the House yesterday when an
unexpected wave of opposition to
the conference report on the pro.
posal developed.
The report had been approved
by the Senate without a voice
being raised in opposition, and it
was believed that House sanction
would be only a tormality.
Would Name Commission
Under the compromise PROPOSE
tion agreed upon by the. conferees
commission of nine-three from
the House, three from the Senate
and three to be appointed by tine
PreSident-would be appointed to
select a site for the airport.
The proposal authorized an ap-
preparation of 100000, of which
$4,000 was to be used for expert
help and 100000 would be avail
able for obtaining options on land.
The 100000 would be put up half
by the Federal Government and
half by the District.
It was the latter provision that
caused the sudden upheaval in
the House yesterday. the outcome
of which was that the legislation
was sent back to the contereeS for
further consideration.
This action was taken at the
instance Of Representative Viii.
liam Bankhead Cd, of Alabama,

the temper of the House, appar,

FIRE DESTROYS
VA. HOME

CHESTERBROOK, Va, March
Fire. thought to have been
kindled by defective wiring, COM
pletely destroyed the home of
Charles w. Fortney near here
early today, while the Fortney
family was, spending the night at
the home of friends.
Discovered shortly after 2 a. M,
the blaze had gained such head
way that the roof had fallen in
when the Mclean Fire Depart
ment responded to the call Of
j. r. Heath, q; neighbor.
At the height of the blaze, Dixie,
a small Spitz dog owned by Mrs.
Fortney, dashed under the house,
a five-room structure, and rescued
her two puppies from their base
ment nest.
Fortney, a wood and metal
lather by trade, has been un-
employed for almost a year, Mrs.
Fortney said. At present, he is
working as a part time coal
miner in West Virginia. Mrs.
Fortney and her three children,
all under eight years of age, were
being cared for at the home Of
L. w. Lynn nearby.
Firemen estimated the damage
at $2;5OO. Although the home
was insured. Mrs. Fortney was
not sure that the policy had
not lapsed.

Back Senate Plea
for Revision
BY FRANK M. SMITH

District officials and Washing
tons civic bodies were busy to-
day putting together their facts
to let loose a barrage of justifica-
ton for the changes they will ask
the Senate to make probably
next week in the District ap-
preparation bill.
The measure, passed under the
strictest limit of debate, threatens
to wreck the financial structure
of the city and to force the citi-
ZenS to pay high tax rate.
Budget Still Favored
Additional assurance that the
Senate would improve the bill
and rewrite it drastically was seen
today in the attitude attributed
to the President. The indication
that the Chief Executive still
favors the budget estimate of a
$5,700,000 Federal contribution is
expected to give Senate members
added strength in conference.
Armed with a 288 to 26 vote in
the House in favor, Representa-
tive Thomas L. Blanton CD, of
Texas. is not expected to yield
very far on the measures provi-
sions. If the House managers
remain adamant and the Senate
confereeS consider it their duty
to rely upon the figures of the
District Commissioners, it was re-
ported today that the bill may be
set aside and the District run On
a continuing resolution until next
year.
Would Escape Cut
In this case no new appropria-
tions for buildings or improve
ments would be forthcoming. The
city would operate entirely On
maintenance money but, it was
pointed out, residents would
escape having the Federal con-
tribution cut $3,000,000 which
would save the municipality from
a 100000 deficit.
Although Senate leaders VINO
will scan the bill in committee
decline to comment on the bill,
it is apparent the hearings will
be extended to give everyone who
has a reasonable claim for au
audience ample opportunity to pe
heard.

the high school which does not Of
fer cOure in public administra-
ton will not be regarded as an
accredited school.
One writer commenting or Mr..
Littauer's gift says, "In a demo-
cracy men are not chosen to office
primarily on the basis of their
competency to perform certain
duties. They are chosen because
they possess qualities which make
an appeal to the voters"
Yes, Mr.. Writer, and for one
other outstanding reason are
they too often chosen: For the
reason that political rings which
put them up, are able to buy and
steal enough votes to get them
elected.
So it is not enough that men be
educated in public administration
The public too, must be educated
educated to demand that public
positions be filed by men profile
lent in public administration, and
that politicians cease regarding
public jobs as their private prop
erty, to be passed around as they
please for their personal profit.
Also, a course in appreciation
of government, extending through
out our educational system from
the grammar school to university,
would pay our country handsome
dividends.

A VICToRY-But NOT FOR DEMOCRATIC
GOVERNMENT

With the Senate's vote yesterday to override the
Presidents veto and to pay the bonus this June IN
baby bonds, that vexing issue will have been re-
moved at last from politics. Indeed the tie that
bound many veterans themselves in organized
will have been severed High-powered
veterans Hobbies in Washington will hardly know
what to do that their main objective has been
reached. Congressman who had memorized mo7-
ing speeches the bonus cause, and have relished
the applause that always followed their delivery,
will have to search for another theme; and they
will be put to it to find mutually cOngenial.
Our disposition, that payment of the bonds
finally has been authorized, is to accept it with
good grace as can be mustered The veterans,
surely, are welcome to their handouts; and it may
be- as has been contended, that the release of all
this money will be the spark that sets off Recovery.
But it is pretty expensive method. We cannot
afford too much Recovery if this is the only way
to bring it about Two or three more purchases Of
Recovery like this and the thing will have cost Us
more than it can possibly be worth.
1t has cost us dearly already in esteem for the
form and the nature of democratic government.
This Goyernment-ths administration, we are al
most tempted to say observing the Presidents
plaisanee-has sold out to an organized and voci-
ferrous minority. 1t has reached its hands into the
public treasury and brought out enough to buy its
little political future. And that is bad enough
but what assurance is. there that having been
done once it will not be done again and again?
Verify, democracy is at low ebb. So is the U.
s. Treasury. Whether or not the nations credit
can survive the charge of these billions top of
the billions that have been drained out and yet
to be drained out is no longer a remote question.
1t is time, now that the Government has taken care
of the exsolders, for them and us all to consider
the necessity of taking care of the Government
