When conditions do not favor
landing, the passengers and mail
destined for the National Capital
will be landed at Baltimore or
Richmond. However. Mr.. Behn-
cke suggested in his letter to Fed
eral officials, that the Army's
Boiling Field be utilized for the
emergency.
Fear Tragedies
After the 60-day period, the pi.
lots have decreed, they will refuse
to land or take off from the local
field, regardless of weather con-
ditions.
Pointing out that Sc large pas
senger airliners use the Washing
ton Airport daily, the pilots group
felt they could mo longer be re-
sponsible in case of accidents"
The letter Of Mr.. Behncke,
which was mailed last night adj
dressed to Fred D. Fagg, jr., direc'
tor of the Bureau of Air Com
merce. said in part:
"Many of the pilots feel that
this airport should be closed i'm
mediately, but not wanting to
work hardship on the companies
they have agreed to its deSigna-
ton as a twO-way field"
ROOM INADEQUATE
The two-way field is explained
as meaning that landings and
take-offs can be made in only two
directions, thus eliminating use Of
all but one of the runways.
The letter said further that the
landing area of the field is made
quate and that dangerous obstruc-
tions exist, citing these as reasons
why planes of the heavier .passen-
ger type should not be permitted
- I'D here, except in an emer-
gency.
-.tctor Fagg was not in the
city this morning when the letter
reached his desk, but will be back
late today or tomorrow. Other
otfio;o1s of the bureau, however,
said it was expected that he will
order an immediate investigation.
Airport Not Notified
1t was explained that his only
course of action, in the event the
charges of the pilots are accurate,
will be to order companies operat.
ing the large airliners to cease
operating from the Washington
Airport.

japanese casualties were placed
at 10, including two officers.
Chinese troops continued to mo.

sides rushed heavy reinforcements
to the Lukuchiao area. new Incl

to inject more violence into an
already tangled crisis.

The governor fell from the
steps Of a friends home during
the 1884 campaign, and besides
breaking his arm, suffered a
severe blow on the head which
affected his eye. In the last two
and a half years the injury has
become increasingly more serious.
His physicians have urged the

months and recently told him
that an immediate operation is
necessary to save the sight Of the
other eye.
The operation will require the
Governor to stay in the hospital
for at least two weeks, he was in
formed by his physicians, and an
added three weeks period will be
required for full recovery.
Following this Nice expects to
take a trip lasting from four to
six weeks for complete relaxation
and rest.
About 119 measures remain to
be acted upon by Nice. He added
that about so of the bills will be
