AIRPORT STUDY
NEAR IN SENATE

With the House District Com
mittee unable to decide on site
for new Washington Airport and
recommending that a special COM
mission be appointed to make the
selection, the Senate District Com
mittee will meet this week to act
on the problem.
Senator William H. King CD
of Utah, chairman of the commit
tee, announced he is withholding
a call of the committee to take up
the airport question until the re-
turn of Senator Willard A. Tyd.
ings Cd of Maryland, who is eX.
pected back this week.
Senator TydingS was the author
of a resolution left in conference
at the close of the last session Of
Congress calling for the appoint
ment of a commission by the
President to select a site for an
airport near the city.
This measure was suggested in
defiance of House action which
would have appointed a commits
sion with the power to purchase
the site as well as select it.
The House proposal called upon
a certain group of persons to act
on the commission. It was be-
lieved in the Senate that the
membership should be left to
presidential choice and that no
authority to spend funds should
be delegated.
The new proposal of the Depart
ment of Commerce to begin i'm.
mediately to purchase and develop
Neutrality-suspicious. Airport and
to begin work on developing
Gravelly Point, all from Federal
funds, is now running into diff.
ficulties although it was enthuS'
iastically received in some quarters
when first proposed.

rolls "Vanities." goes on trial
here today for the fatal shooting
of her husband, Frank Koran,
at their Hamburg -on-the-Lake,

The show girls defense will be
that the shooting was accidental.

from the PerrySburg hospital
where he had been treated for
tuberculosis.
According to the girl, the shoot
ing followed an attempt by her
to keep him from drinking. She
feared his heavy drinking might
send him back to the hospital,
she said.
Here's the way she told police
the shooting occurred:
"That morning as we started
across the lawn he drew his gun
and started at me. 1 struggled
with him and the gun went off.
1 didn't mean to shoot him."

the kidnapping, was permitted
to copy the original note-even
before "Jafsie" entered the

exhibited the handwriting and
symbol to the underworld days

The conclusion is that expert
