D. c. CONTRACTOR
IS FEARED SLAIN
Search for Arthur G. Brink
ley Pressed in ArIing-
ton Wood.

Working on the theory Arthur G.
Brinkley, Al, plastering contractor of
5514 First street. may have been
murdered, Arlington County police
today were searching for his body in
the thickly-wooded section near the
lonely county road where his automo-
bile was found abandoned yesterday.
Theories of foul play were strength
ened, it was pointed out, by the find
ing of Brinkley's shattered eyeglasses
and an empty wallet in the automo-
bile. He had cashed a $500 check
only an hour before the car was
found.
The deserted car was first noticed
about IL am. by James B. Lockwood,
1900 North Kenmore street, Arlington
County. building contractor, whose
home is not far from the scene. He
said the doors Of the car we're closed
and the key was in the ignition lock.
There were no signs of struggle on
the ground around the machine. No
bloodstains were found.
Eyeglasses on Car Floor.
The eyeglasses, without which
Brinkley was helpless, his family said,
were on the floor in the front of the
car. The missing mans golfers white
cap, which he was wearing when he
left home, was on the front seat. The
empty wallet was on the floor in the
rear of the car.
Brinkley left his home here about
8 am. yesterday and appeared at a
construction project in Arlington
County to consult with his workmen
at $3.50 am. Then he drove to a
bank in the county and cashed a $500
check.
Kirkwood road, near Clarendon, on
which Brinkley's automobile was found,
Is seldom travelled, police said. County
Policeman H. E. Mason after inspect
ing the car organized a civilian posse
and searched the woods until it be-
came dark.
Son Joins Hunt.
German Brinkley, 81, son of the
missing man, joined the searchers this
morning. At her home here, Mrs.
Brinkley said she fears her husband
has been murdered by robbers.
Washington police broadcast orders
to all scout cars to search lonely roads
in the city and to check all hospitals

improvements have been made at the
airport to increase safety conditions
Guards were stationed at the traffic
lights on Military road beginning July
8, 1885.
Chains were installed at the crossing
to supplement the lights and guards
IN March, 1895, in accordance with q
Commerce Department order.
A radio control tower was placed in
operation In June, 1885, to control
trafnc into and out Of the airport.
Hard surfaced runways were con-
structed. beginning In September, 1885
and completed in December, 1886, one
OF them being 1900 feet long and
crossing Military road at the level of
the two halves. OF the airport.
An order was made effective Septem-
Der II, 1896, prohibiting the use OF

equipped with radio.
Despite these improvements, each of
which Is held to have increased the
safety of operation OF air transport
planes, the progress of three years has
been wiped out as a result of the new

Is Years in Mails,
Card Is Finally
| Delivered Here

Whenever any one boasts about the
United States postal service, John NJ.
Merley, 1896 Eleventh street, will say
amen-but with his tongue in his
cheek.
Merley's doubt about the speed of
Uncle Sans mail carriers dates from
the arrival OF the postman last Satur-
day with a postcard mailed in a Chi
cago letter box exactly l8 years ago
to the day
Written by Eva Reasnor, q sister of
Mrs. Merley, the card was addressed
TO Ala Second street. where the Mer-
leys were living at the time. 1t didn't
arrive here until last September 8,
however, and finally reached the Mer-
ley home September IL.
The sister had written that she was
going to Colorado with some friends,
long since dead, Merley said today.

airport to increase the safety of on
GRAFTON Of these high-speed transport
planes. Although the airport today
is said to be far safer for the operation
of the DE- type than 1t was three
years ago, they now are banned from
all except the area OF the long run
way itself.
Vigorous protests against curtail-
ment Of operation of the DC-2 At the
local airport have been made by
Samuel J. Solomon, manager Of the
local airport, and Capt. Edward v.
Rickenbacker, general manager Of
Eastern Airlines, chief operator OF
this type Of airplane locally.
100000 Safety Examples.
They have pointed out that during
the three years since the DC-2 went
into operation on the local airline,
there have been in excess Of 100, 900
safe landings and take-offs at WASH
ington Airport and that at no time
have conditions at the airport been
safer for the operation of this type
OF airplane than they are today.
1t is the contention of the airport
management that there should be no
limitation on landings of air trans
port planes at Washington Airport.
1t is argued that ample guarantees of
safety are assured if the matter of
landings Is left to the discretion of
the pilots. Solomon admits that there
may be justification for Federal con-
troll OF take-offs Of the larger type air
transports, although he points out
that actual experience has not shown
such control to be necessary.
Limitations Of take-offs to the long
runway probably is advisable in the
case Of the DC-3, 21-passenger air
liner, Solomon admits, but he holds
that there Is doubt as to the wisdom
OF such limitation as applied to
the DE- under certain wind con-
ditions. The smaller ship can con-
tinue to operate of the short, 5000
foot runway or at tangent to the
short runway under certain wind
conditions with entire safety, as 1t
has been doing for three years, he
pcllcVeS.
Eastern Airlines began operating
DC-2 transports at Washington Air
port in October, 1884, and American
Airlines began operating the same type
OF airplane there in January, 1885.
American Airlines began using the
larger DC-3 here in September, 1885.
Military Road Hazard Alleviated
At that time there was no continuous
runway across Military road, which
was two feet below the grade of WASH
ington Airport and the old Hoover
Field. Although airplanes we're then
operating across the road, no guards
were maintained on the highway to
control utomobile trafiic, lights alone
being used
Since Douglas airplanes first were
put into operation here, the following
