|GRAVELLY POINT
SITE URGED FOR.
AIR FIELD HERE.
Rep. Smith, Author Of
Bill, First Witness

With the Washington Airport
described as inadequate and un-
safe, construction of a federally
owned airport at Gravelly Point.
in Virginia, was urged today be-
fore a congressional committee.
The hearing was held by the
House Committee on Public Build
ings and Grounds on a bill in
troduced by Representative How
ard w. Smith CD Of Virginia,
which provides not only for the
Gravelly Point air terminal but
for construction of an auxiliary
airport to- be used pending COM
pletion of Gravelly Point and for
permanent use thereafter in emer-
gency.
REP. SMITH HEARD
The first witness was Repre-
sentative Smith, who told the COM
mittee that Gravelly Point is the
best site because of its proximity
to downtown Washington, its
facilities for seaplanes and lighter
than-air craft, its suitability for
plans of the Parks and Planning
Commission, and for future exten-
sion purposes.
Mr.. Smith explained that the
airport would be built on filled
land already owned by the Gov
eminent.
He waved aside objections per
sistently made to the Gravelly
Point site, on the ground of its
proximity to Boiling Field and the
fact that it is subject to floods and
to fogs.
In this connection, he said,
experts have testified that its
proximity to Boiling Field would
constitute no danger and that
upon completion of filling in the
land the danger of floods would
be eliminated.
PLAN FOR FOGS
In the matter of fogs, he told
the committee, any airport
located near a river, the Gravelly
Point site being on the south
shore of the Potomac River,
would be subject to river fogs.
For this reason, he said, he had
recommended construction of the
auxiliary airport, to be used when
fogs made use of GraVelly Point
unsafe. He pointed out that ex-
perts had said the Gravelly Point
site could be used between 80 and
95 per cent of the time.
Construction of an airport at
Gravelly Point would cost approx
mately $4,746, 900, it was estimated
by Major Walter D. Luplow, Army
engineer.

$4,000 RECOVERED
Also recovered from a hole in
a ditch was $4,000 of the $4,000
ransom collected by the grim.
visaged longshoreman, who was
seized at the Santa Anita, Cali
fornia, race track, week ago.
1t was to avoid splitting the
$50, 900 that Anders shot Gray to
death and then turned the gun
on Ross, Hoover said. Hoover re-
fused to believe Anders committed
the double crime, as he claims, to
put the men out of their misery
after they had been hurt in a
fight.
Other revelations made by
Hoover we're: Anders spent only
$4,000 of the ransom money;
he was involved in four Wisconsin
and Minnesota bank holdups and
perpetrated at least one other kid
naping.
WOMAN FREED UNFRAMED
The other kidnap victim, accord
ing to Hoover, was Mrs. Olive Bor-
cia Of Chicago. She was abducted
near her summer home at Lake
Geneva last year when Mrs. Bor-
cia convinced her captors her hus-
band, John, could not raise the
$4,000 ransom demanded, she
was freed unharmed.
Hoover declared Anders shot
both victims in the back of the
head with a .32-caliber revolver.
The double murder case is now
complete against Anders, Hoover
said. His trial will be rushed ano
every effort made to send him to
the electric chair.
CASH KEY TO CRIME
A prolific trail of ransom bills
across several States led to An
ders' capture, Hoover said. Anders
also had $4,000 stolen from him
while his car was parked in a
New York garage.
Peter Anders is Americas
most brutal criminal" is the
way Hoover summarized his
reaction.
Hover's voice, as he explained
details of the case, was heavy at
times with the anger he felt over
the normity and horror Of the
double crime.

Dr. Victor Levine Returns States
 Pt. Barrow

Dr. Victor E. Levine is in the service of the U. s. Public Health Service with the rank of consult ant. He has made many trips to the Arctic to continue his medi- cal and biological studies of the Eskimos. He recently returned to Nome, together with his assist ant, Delbert C. Foord, on the Cut ter Northland, after spending a whole year in Barrow.
 The following interview was obtained for the Nome Nugget from Dr. Levine:
 In recent years the Arctic re- gions have assumed colossal i'm portance in the affairs of the world. The United States, Rus Sla, Denmark and the Dominion of Canada are today looking nor inward with eager eyes. Alas ka, once held up in Washington to ridicule as "Sswafd's Ice Box' and Stewards Folly, and treated as a step-child, is begin ming to be respected and handled with the tenderness and consider ation that fond parents usually bestow upon their own child.
 The reasons for this resurgence of interest in the Arctic are many.
 The Arctic offers the shortest route between three continents, Asia, Europe and North America. Attempts are being made at pre- sent to establish safe air travel by way of the Far North. From a military standpoint, the Arctic facilitates contacts between Ja- pan, Russia, United States and England.
 The Arctic possesses untapped wealth in the form of fish, coal, petroleum and many valuable and industrially indispensable metals.
 Furs of all kinds to keep warm in winter originate for the most part in the Arctic, and cod-liver oil, calculated to build up the body in times of physiological stress and strain is a product Of Arctic waters.

 Fully one-sixth, if not more, of the worlds land surface lies in the Arctic regions.
 The Arctic is a vast natural laboratory in which to study the interrelation of climate, food and health. An intense study of this interrelation should be highly valuable to future generations.
