Smith Objects
Objection by Representative How
ard Smith, Democrat, of Virginia,
in whose district the Washington
Hoover Airport is situated, blocked
action Of the Senate-approved King
bill when it was called up under
unanimous consent rules, however.
Smith said, there was no agreement
with me"
Another effort for action on the
measure under suspension of the rules
failed as word came to the House
that the Senate already had adjourned
sine dine, and it was too late for
passage.
Smith said he was not opposed u
Inc Camp Springs bill. but considered
1t a controversial measure that re-
quired committee hearings and further
deliberation by the House.
The projected two-year moderniza.
ton program for Washington Hoover
Airport includes closing and filing in
OF that section Of Military road which
crosses the airport and making use
OF part of the Arlington Experiment
tai Farm and OF the lagoon area OF
the boundary channel to enlarge the
field and provide new cross rlnvays.
Approval Still Needed.
In my opinion, this will take care
OF practically all the objections that
have been voiced by transport pilots
and Commerce Department officials
regarding safety Of the airport" Solo
mon said.
Solomon emphasized however, that
authorization to fill in and make use
OF the lagoon area as vital key in
the whole program"
The Copeland-May bill authorizes
leasing of the portions of Military
road and the Arlington Experimental
Farm involved to the airport, but re-
quires approval of the National Park

ing Of the lagoon area.

Secretary Perkins Gives
Opinion on Employment
Service Proposal.

Plans of the District Unemployment
Compensation Board to run its own
employment service and confne its
assistance to persons already eligible
for unemployment insurance drew op-
position from Secretary of Labor Per-
kins yesterday.
In letter to John A. Marshall, di-
rector OF the board, Miss Perkins saic ::
1T is the uninsured worker who
must, especially. rely upon impartial
and competent employment service
and fair treatment by such service, be-
cause that is his sole resource in
the absence of possible claims for the
benefits Of unemployment insurance. +"
Act Is Referred To.
Pointing out that under the Wagne--
Peyser act, the Labor Department is
directed Ito maintain public en-
ployment service in the District of
Columbia" Secretary Perkins added:
1T is, accordingly, manifest that
unless the presently established Dis
trict Employment Center is utilized bv
your board, there must be two parallel
and competing employment services
operating simultaneously in the Dis
trlct, both at public expense and at
greater cost and with less efficiency
than would be true of single agency
serving both purposes"
The Secretary pointed out that Lhe
District Employment Center lis one
unit in a Nationwide chain of en-
ployment services effectively linked
together for the purpose of clearing
labor where local shortages exist, an
important consideration not lightly
to be disregarded."
She added: Frequently employers
IN city like Washington find it
necessary to secure specific types of
workers not Immediately available in
the locality. Unless the local employ
ment office with which they are deal
ing Is connected with a Nationwide
system, as is true Of the United States
Employment Service, no facilities exist
Tor securing such properly qualified
persons promptly and without loss of
time and money"
Secretary Perkins letter was in 70.
ply to one from Marshall, and she
wrote:
reference is made in your letter to
tne TACT that many of the prospective
claimants of benefits under YOUR ad-
mlnlstration do not reside in the Dis.
.rict OF Columbia, but in Virginia or
Maryland. Such beneficiaries Of your
service would, OF course. be entitled to
register at the District Employment
center, as they now do, and to receive
the same degree of service as. is ac-
corded other registrants."
Miss Perkins said her department
would welcome the opportunity to
join our work and our achievements
with your own in that endeavor which
has such obvious mutual purposes"

this course of training, which we of
yesterday were put through. was. it
seems to me, exceedingly small. My
own one and only personal memory of
spanking occurred when was three.
I stamped my foot at my mother and
said 81 won't" And my father
spanked me so hard l remember it yet!
On the other hand, to use corporal
punishment on a half grown child is a
shocking thing from every angle. But
to spank a little one for its very first
impudence is an operation which per-
manently checks disobedience.

Spanking is of particular use if a
child whines and nags. or goes limp
and falls ON the floor when you tell it
to come and speak to Mrs. Jones. And
certainly should it make a raspberry"
or say Shut up" it should be spanked
hard and at once.
Another still more important point
is that of making a child understand
any pain which it causes an animal or
a younger child. If child continues
to pull a Kittens or a puppy's tail, or
to hit his baby brother. then his own
little sit-upon should be pinched and
