AIRPORT PROCEDURE
PLAN TO BE OFFERED
Preliminary Report of subcom-
mittee Ready to Be Read to
House-Senate Group.

The preliminary report of a plan
ming subcommittee of the District Air
port Commission on a plan Of pro-
cedure to be followed by the commits
sion in selecting a site for the local
civil air terminal probably will be
submitted this week.
Efforts are being made by Senator
King of Utah, chairman, and Repre-
sentative Nichols Of Oklahom, Secre-
tary Of the commission. to call the
full group together Wednesday for its
first business session. The Planning
Subcommittee is headed by Maj Gen.
Oscar Westover, chief of the Army
Air Corps.
The subcommittee is expected to
submit recommendations as to the
type of airport the District should
have, how large it is to be and what
physical requirements must be met.
Although the act of Congress cre-
ating the commission carried authori-
zation for an appropriation of $4,000
to meet the expenses of the group
and to permit it to employ experts to
assist it in selecting the site. It is
unlikely any request for actual ap-
preparation of funds will be made,
at least during the present session Of
Congress, it was indicated by mem
bers of the commission today.
1t is also unlikely any actual start
on actual selection of the airport site
will be made until the November elec-
tions are out Of the way, although
some preliminary details may be dis
posed Of before that time,

RED RIDER REPEAL
COMPROMISE. HIT
BY BILL SPONSOR
Amendment to Ban "Advo-
cacy" of Communism Is
Spurned by Sisson.
ACTION DURING PRESENT
SESSION HELD UNLIKELY
Convention Recesses Held Bar to
Passage of Adjournment
Is Delayed.

Representative SiSson, Democrat, of
New York, sponsor of a bill providing
for outright repeal Of the red rider
to the 1886 District appropriation act,
forbidding the teaching or advocacy OF
Communism in the public schools, to-
day turned a deaf ear to proposals for
a compromise.
Suggestions have been made to Sis
son that he amend the measure so
it would definitely prohibit the ad-
vocacy Of communism, but permit
teaching of the factual history OF
Soviet Russia. Speaker Byrns also has
said he believed the House would be
more willing to act on a proposal OF
that kind than one that calls for out
right repeal Of the red rider"
Sisson, however. is definitely deter
mined not to have any part in a
movement for amendment of his bill
He Is willing to let the House decide
its fate-either kill the measure or
pass it-but he will not yield to modi-
fication proposals.
In the meantime, it became increas-
ingly apparent to Ssson and other
members of the House who want the
red rider" repealed that the bill may
die of inaction at the current session
Of Congress.
Although Congress may extend the
adjournment goal beyond the tentative
June date, which would permit the
bill to be called up in regular order
next Monday. it is likely the House
would follow a suggestion of its lead
ers and recess for three days at a
time throughout the period of the Re-
publican and Democratic conventions.
If three day recess is agreed to
Saturday, the District, Of course, would
lose its day next Monday, and Sisson's S
bill could not be called up without a
special rule until June % And House
leaders have shown no disposition to
grant a special rule, although there is
a precedent for it in the case of the
Ellenbogen bill, which would have re-
vived the wartime Rent Commission.
Senate action on the Wheeler bill, a
companion to the Sisson measure, was
blocked yesterday by Senator Nc
Kellar, Democrat, of Tennessee, and
indications are it may not again be
called up before adjournment.

his connection with the publication
of the Circuit Courts secret delibera-
tions following the trial of John Mar
tin Boland. Washington police char
acter, in the Lyddane murder conspir-
acy case.
The reporter voluntarily surrendered

United States Supreme Courts recent
dismissal of his efforts to have the
finding of the lower court set aside.
Pat Frank, another reporter for the
Herald, was convicted in the Circuit
Court on similar charge growing out
of the publication of the same story,
but the Maryland Court of Appeals
reversed the finding of the lower
tribunal in his case It dismissed
Lees appeal, however, and he car
ried his case to the Supreme Court.
The charges against Lee and Frank
were brought after the Herald had
published story revealing the Circuit
Court had convicted Boland on a
charge of conspiring to murder Fran
els S. Lyddane of Rockville prior
to announcement by the court.

PLAN TO Be HEARD
"Anticipatory Revenue Ger
tifiCate" Experiment on
House Group Schedule.

The plan of Representative Isabella
Greenway. Democrat, of Arizona for
relieving Washington's unemployment
situation with the use of "anticipatory
revenue certificates" will be formally
considered by the House District Com
mittee Wednesday, it was announced
today by Chairman Norton.
Mrs. Norton, who recently returned
to Washington after presiding at the
convention of the New Jersey State
Democratic Committee, said she had
not read the resolution introduced by
Mrs. Greenway authorizing an expert
ment with the plan, but she under
stood its fundamental features.
1T may be too late to do any
thing with the resolution before ad-
journment of Congress-" said Mrs.
Norton. However, I propose to have
1t discussed at the committee meeting
Wednesday,"
Mrs. Norton also declared she was
not aware of public sentiment with
respect to the resolution, and for that
reason thought hearings should be
held to determine the extent Of sup
port that such plan would receive.
1t is likely the resolution will be
referred to a special subcommittee
with instruction to conduct public
hearings, If possible, before adjourn
ment Of Congress.
Briefly, the plan contemplates that
private employers absorb the unem-
ployed and pay them with the AN
ticipatory revenue certificates" instead
of currency.
These certificates would be honored
by merchants participating in the
plan. All certificates would be issued
in denominations of 81.
At the end of each week, a 2-cent
revenue stamp would have to be
placed on the certificates to keep it
in circulation.
At the end of So weeks the certifi-
Gates would be redeemed at face value
in currency. The 2-cent stamp each
week would yield $1.06 in revenue
at the end of SO weeks. 81 of which
would go into redemption fund. The
remaining cents, Mrs. Greenway be-
lieves, will cover administration costs.

Tree Spray Drip
Protests By Auto
O,Cners A,Uaited

District officials are prepared for
the annual series of complaints from
motorists who each year have their
parked cars spattered with an arsenate
of lead solution when the park service
sets out to protect the city's trees.
Beginning early today, two crews,
under the direction of Clifford G.
Lanham, District superintendent of
parks and trees, began their fight
against pests that threaten the trees.
The huge and aged American elms
are being. sprayed first this year be-
cause of a vicious type Of beetle at
tacktng them. Other trees appear to
have escaped destructive pests, but all
of them will be sprayed within the
next six weeks, Lanham said.
Motorists who park under the trees
were warned by Lanham, through
printed notices posted on the affected
streets "a hours in advance. If their
cars are bespattered, he said, it is
their own fault, but they are not
damaged. If they will permit the
solution to dry, it can be removed
easily with a dry cloth.

THOMAS DEBATES
REQUESTING STUDY.
OF D. c. FINANCES.
May Introduce Resolution
Asking Senate Commits
sion Today.
BRIEF DISCUSSION
FAILS TO END SNARL
Compromise Proposals Do Not
Prove Satisfactory to
Conferees.
BY J. A. O'LEARY.

With the deadlock over the Federal
share of the 1887 District appropria-
ton bill still unbroken, Senator
Thomas. Democrat of Oklahoma.
chairman of the Senate group, was
considering the advisability of intro
ducing in the Senate this afternoon
his resolution for commission to
study the fiscal relations question.
He will not decide definitely, how
ever, until he consults other Senate
confereeS.
Senator Thomas suggested several
days ago that the House agree to let
the present S5,700,000 Federal pay
ment continue until such a commits
sion could recommend to the next
Congress what the Federal payment
SHOULD be thereafter.
If he asks the Senate to pass the
Commission proposal. it would be with
a view to giving the House a chance
to express itself on the proposition,
Although there was some discussion
at a brief conference yesterday of the
possibility of a compromise at some
pO4Ib bNG"CC1l lASOLN Va
S2,700,000 and the Senate's action in
approving the Presidents budget
recommendation for continuation of
the present s5,7OO0O lump sum, no
definite action IN that direction has
been taken, so far as could be learned.
Thomas was the only Senate con-
feree who took part in yesterdays con-
ference.
Three Controversial Issues.
Any reduction below the $500 900
figure would mean concessions by the
Senate on all three of the controversial
issues in the bill.
In letter to the House conferees last
week, Senator Thomas indicated a
willingness to compromise. substan-
TALLY along House lines, on the elimi-
nation of character education and on
banning outside work by professional
men in the District service, such as
doctors, lawyers and judges.
There is believed to be strong senti-
ment among the Senate conferees,
however, against making a third COM
promise in the form of a lower Fed
eral payment. 1t is known that some
of the Senate conferees have been IN
favor for several days of going ahead
with a continuing resolution as a
substitute for the bill.
BlantOn Blocks Inquiry.
An offer has been made from the
Senate side to have an impartial COM
mission appointed to determine before
next January whether the House or
Senate is right on the question of what
the Federal share Of District expenses
should be, but Representative Blanton
of Texas, chairman OF the House con-
ferees, termed this proposal "ridicu-
lous," in letter to Senator Thomas
yesterday.
Even If compromise on the amount
of the lump sum is finally resorted 10,
all indications are the Senate group
would not agree to go much below the
Presidents budget recommendation.
Even the Thomas resolution for ap-
pointment of commission on fiscal re-
lationS would mean a slight reduction
in the lump sum, because it provides
that $4,000 of the Federal payment
would be earmarked to meet the ex-
penses of the survey.
