AIRPORT
Camp Springs Site Is
Protested as Handicap
To Radio Signals
BY EARL GOODWIN

An unexpected and determined
protest by the Navy Department,
against the proposed Camp Springs,
Md, site for the Washington Air
port, today threw open the entire
airport subject to a possible re-
newed search for the much-diS,
cuSsed, up-to-date air landing field
for the National Capital.
The protest, which exploded like
a bombshell in official Washing.
ton, today was in the form of a
communication from Admiral viii.
liam D. Leahy, chief of operations
of the Navy, who signed the pro-
test as Acting Secretary Of the
Navy, giving it the full backing OF
the Navy Department.
It was learned unofficially, out
side the Navy Department, that
the President is extremely inter
eSted in the Nays vigorous kick"
and the White House is watching
the outcome of the battle with
more than routine interest.
Handicap to Signals
Admiral Leahy's protest is based
on the fact that the proposed
Camp Springs, Md, site is so close
to the new naval radio receiving
station at Cheltenham, Md, that
there will be marked interference
with the receiving of naval radio
messages. The Navy selected Chel-
teham as an out-of-the-Way spot,
where there would be compare
lively nothing to interfere either
with the reception of messages, or
with any experiments the Navy
radio Sharps desire to undertake
in the future. In addition, sooner
or later the Naval receiving sta
ton there may have to erect towers
as high as those at Arlington,
which would Immediately consti-
tute grave flying menace.
The Nays "kick" will have i'm
mediate reaction. Chairman Vim
son of the House committee on
Naval Affairs said today he would
summon his committee for a con-
ference tomorrow to read and dis
cuss the Navy protest, and would
Immediately ask for a hearing for
naval officials before the House
District Committee, or the appro-
priations committee, or whatever
committee will handle the airport
choice, now that the Airport Com
mission has made its report.

importation of non-union paint

Two buildings where non-union

local painters union.

ing.
Seeking support of all construc.
ton workers locals, Holcombe is
sued a request that other locals
call a general sympathy strike.
Two Contractors Accused
The complaint made by the
painters union was that non-union
men we're being employed by two
contractors on Federal buildings
here. The contractors charged
with employing non-union men are
the Coons and Raptic Company,
of Brooklyn, contractors for the
Post Office Building, and the
William Wilson and Sons Com
pany, of Atlanta. Ga, working on
that building and on the Internal
Revenue Bureau Building.
Holcembe's protest was based on
a charge that the Atlanta firm re-
fused OF engage union men sent
to the jobs, and that such refusal
constituted violation of the labor
relations act, which specifies that
membership or nonmemberShip in
union shall not be considered o
condition of employment.
Other Crafts Wait
In the meantime, John LocheH,
head of the Building Trades Coun-
Gil, which voted Tuesday to sup
port the painters, said that other
building trades craftsmen would
not be called off work today. He
plans to hold a meeting on the
question tomorrow to determine
final action.

CHICAGO, July 10 G.N.S0.
Mr.. and Mrs. George Sneedse
weren't speaking today, and
therein lies a story of tramps,
taxes and taXicabs.
Bright and early Sunday morn
ing came six handsome taxicabS to
the door of Calvary Lutheran
Church here. Out of the shining
cars, tumbled a motley collection
of hobos, heavy Of beard and tat
tered of garments.
Down the church aisle they pa.
raded as a startled congregation
stumbled over their hymns. Mean
while, the cavalcade of cabs pro
ceeded to the Sneedse house, and
one driver explained to the Mrs.

u. s. Wins
Davis Gun
Doubles

WIMBLEDON, July 10 QNSJ.
Coming from behind, Donald
Bulge and Gene Mako today beat
Baron Gottfried Won CramIIl and
Henreich Henkel Of Germany, As,
IS, 8-6, 6-4, in doubles to give
the United States a lead Of two
matches to one in the Davis Cup
interzone finals.
Starting slowly and dropping
the first set in duplicating their
performance when they elimin-
ated the Germans in the all-Eng-
land championship two weeks ago,
the Americans quickly rallied and
moved to within single match
of the challenge round with the
British next weekend.
One single victory tomorrow,
when Bitsy Grant meets Henkel
and Bulge meets Won Cramm, will
put the Americans into the final
tusSle in their determined bid to
bring the Davis Cup back to
America after an absence of a
decade. For the Germans the
hurdle seemed almost insurmount-
able. They need both concluding
matches.
On the strength Of performances
here, the American burden rests
squarely on the shoulders of the
angular and red-haired Bulge, gen.
orally favored to beat Won Cramm
in a close match. Henkel is
favored over the ailing Grant, who
was vanquished by Won Cramm
Saturday. Bulge pulled the
Americans even by taking Henkel
in their singles encounter.
The tall Californian and his
partner, Mako, we're unbeatable to-
day after that hazardous first set
losing start. They battled grimly
as a coordinated unit, which out
manuvered the Germans at every
turn in that all-important final
set. They repeatedly overcome
each others lapSes with tremen-
dous shots, Mako backing up the
more able half of the duo with
thrilling play at decisive moments.

You can readily perceive the
similarity in movement between
intercepting the coin and moving
your foot from the accelerator to
the brake in an emergency. At
40 miles per hour, you travel 80
feet in second. II your reaction
time is " second, your car win
have travelled 80 feet between the
time you recognize q dangerous
situation and the time you get
your foot on the brake. This has
nothing to do with stopping the
car; the brake action has vet to
take place. Four-wheel brakes in
good condition may stop your car
in an additional 80 feet. Total
distance, 110 feet.
At so MP.H., reaction time
would consume SO feet, braking
1875; total 163 feet.
At 60 M.P.H., reaction time
would consume As feet, braking
1870; total 225 feet.
Note that twice the distance Is
necessary to stop at 80 MP.H. as
at 40 M.P.H.

to be careful at intersections and
in contested areas,
