CLEVELAND, July 10.-Charges and
counter-charge reverberated through
the steel strike zones today as with
drawal of troops gave indications of
lessening tension on the Ohio sector
Some 300 National Guardsmen
moved out of Akron, Ohio, as quietly
as they had entered last Monday.
The move was not announced officially.
but an official said he did not believe
replacements were planned.
Earlier troop forces had been re-
duced at Canton, Warren and Youngs-
town. Guardsmen moved out of the
strike centers were sent either to
Cleveland, home of many of them. or
to Camp Perry for training periods.
There has been no strike at Akron,
but military officials said the men
were held there because of its prox-
unity to steel trouble spots.

Philip Murray, chairman of the S. w

District Airport Commission, recon-
mending the site for new land
ing field, was fled with Senator
Pittman, Democrat, of Nevada,
President pro tenn OF the Senate.
at 1915 pm. today. The contents
remained secret pending considera-
ton of the report by the Senate.
An appeal for enlargement of WASH
ington Airport, condemned by the
National Airline Pilots Association in
an ultimatum to the Bureau of Air
Commerce Thursday, was made today
by Capt. Edward v. Rickenbacker, gen.
eral manager of Eastern Airlines, who
said the airport can be made ade-
quate for present needs.
At the same time a spirited defense
was made by Samuel j. Solomon, gen.
eral manager of the airport, who de-
clared "the perfect safety record" OF
the airport cannot be improved upon. "
Meanwhile. investigation of the air
port situation from the standpoint Of
the effect of the alleged hazards on
airline insurance rates. has been or
dered by the Associated Aviation Un-
derwriters, with headquarters in New
York. 1t was reported here.
Adkins & Ainsley, Inc. local avia-
ton insurance firm, said the pro ,osed
investigation probably will be handled
by field men from New York. The
local firm has not been advised of the
nature or scope of the inquiry.
1t was regarded as unlikely today
that the Washington Airport Com
mission will file its recommendations
in the airport matter with the Vice
President and Speaker before Monday.
Air Bureau Defers Action.
The Bureau of Air Commerce also
is expected to defer until next week
action on the request of the Airline
Pilots Association that Washington
Airport be rated as only a two-way
field and confined to emergency opera
tions alone.
The controversy between the Air
line Pilots Association and the De-
partment Of Commerce with reference
to the condition and safety of the
Washington Airport is not news. "
Rickenbacker said, in a telegram to
The Star today. 1T has been known
for several years past that this is
not an Al airport by the pilots, De-
partment Of Commerce officials and
Eastern Airlines management.
1T has been a hard and fast rule
Of Eastern Airlines that under no
circumstances are any of our pilots
permitted to be dispatched in or out
of Washington Airport unless the
Department of Commerce regulations
can be observed as well as company
rules. Further, should the weather
change for the worse while our pilots
are en- route to Washington, it has
been left to their discretion to refuse
to land, as they have consistently
done and were ordered to do many
times in the last several years when
