WASHINGTON, March 19.-Rep.
Charles A. Halleck (R., Ind said
today that he expected a favorable
report on the S3,500,0O0 Burns Ditch
harbor project in Indiana within
the next three or four weeks" by
the War Department engineers.
Rep. Halleck's statement followed
testimony Monday before the board
of army engineers by a group of
high Indiana officials, who urged it
as the only public harbor" project
in Indiana on Lake Michigan.
Req. Halleck said he intended to
press for action on the project but
that he doubted that there would
be sufficient time to get funds APP
propriated by Congress before adj
journment, even if the project is
approved by Army engineers.
1t is Meritorious Undertaking
81 feel certain that every Indiana
Congressman is behind this thing, -
he said. 1T is a meritorious under
taking that will result in tremend-
GUS industrial development if ap-

Among those, in addition to Hal
leck, who have urged the Army en-
gineers to take a favorable view
are Gov. McNutt, Senator Sher-
man Minton and Rep. William T.
Schultz 3D., Ind.
There is no doubt that the state
and private industry demand a pub

FLOODLICHT AT
AIRPORT AID IN
NIGHT LANDING
100000 Candle Power
Apparatus Removes
Much Danger

A $4,000 900 candle-power foodlight
that Eliminates the entire Municipal
Airport has proved TO be a great aic
to air navigation, Nish Dienhart
superintendent, reported today.
This beacon, located on head
quarters roof, has been put through
tests under all kinds of weather
conditions. 1t has made normal
night landings possible under most
ceiling conditions.
Shaped like giant kettle drum
this lamp has a shadow bar six
inches wide which can be moved
across its face.
Prevents Binding of Pilots
This is adjusted, Mr.. Dienhart ex-
planned, to throw 75-foot shadow
on incoming ships, preventing the
binding of pilots attempting to
land.
Mr.. Die1hart had the experience
of flying inlo that light when re-
turning .from South Bend several
years ago. His own navigation
lights had gone out on his plane,
and while the port attendant heard
the ship, he couldn't see it.
BY putting his hat over his face
and gliding, Mr.. Dienhart finally
made a landing, but he was tempo
rarily blinded. The attendant, a
new man, never made the same
mistake again, Mr.. Dienhart said.
He should have noted the wind di-
rection, and then adjusted the
beam in one place
