Decision Yet to Come.
From the Kansas City Star.

TioA tuo AanBuS Nlty 6tar.
The complicated results from the pri-
mary in New York's sixteenth congress
sional district leave yet to be answered
the question Of whether Mr.. Roosevelt
Is to be credited with even a single and
fairly minor success in his attempted
purge of Congress members who refused
to be yes-men.
Following the complete failure of the
purge as it applied to Senators, there
remained the test of it in the case OF one
House member, Representative O'Con-
nor Of the New York district. In the
Democratic primary in the district
OConnor has been defeated by the New
Deal candidate. James H. Fay, with
majority of only few hundred votes.
But Mr.. OConnor has won the Repub-
lcan nomination for Congress from the
same district. So the November election
must be awaited for final decision.
It has been and remains peculiar
contest in this one district, in New York
City's lower East Side. The outcome to
date probably has been governed more
by local conditions than by any national
issue. In the first place and on the
Democratic side, a damaging case was
AAA0aC 0SoAAA AsAA ~ SOAAAAOA, d XdIuuld1ly
politician, on the ground he was scarcely
seen in the district at election time, that
he merely maintained legal residence
in it and lived in fashionable section
Of Long Island, So miles away. BY con-
trast Mr.. Fay did live in the district, he
knew Its people well and as a man Of
recognized ability and wounded World
War veteran he made strong appeal to
the voters.
That Mr.. OConnor also should have
been candidate in the Republican pri-
mary and have won there is explained
largely by the fact Of powerful disaf-
fection toward the G. o. P. leadership in
the district. That leadership had affili-
ated itself with the American Labor
party and thereby aroused bitter opposi-
tion in the G. o. p. ranks. Nearly two
thirds of the Republican voters in the
district had signed petitions putting
O'Connor in their own party race Cou-
pied with this was natural @. O. P. de-
sire to frustrate a purge attempt.
Obviously the November election must
provide the solution to this political
puzzle in the New York district.

Radio in Wartime.

An anxious world has been listening
recently to history-making series of
radio broadcasts on the German Czech
crisis. From London, Paris, Prague and
Berlin have come q dramatic and at
times bewildering welter Of announce
ments, harangues, appeals and threats.
The voices Of Chamberlain, Hitler and
other principals or observers in the Eu-
ropean imbroglo have been hurled across

An Airport at Last.

Twelve years of unceasing agitation for
safe and adequate airport for WASH
ington apparently reached a dramatic
conclusion today with the announcement
Of plans for immediate construction Of q
750-acre afr terminal on the Gravelly
Point site.
Weary Of years Of congressional pro-
crastination, President Roosevelt an
nounced at his press conference late yes
terday that he had taken the matter
into his own hands and that emergency
funds would be forthcoming at once for
construction purposes.
Although their negotiations had not
quite been completed and the announce
ment from the White House took them
by surprise, onicials Of the Civil Aero
nautics Authority labored into the night
with P. w. A, w. P. A. and Army Corps
of Engineers representatives and an
nounced detailed plans which call for q
Washington National Airport which will
be ready for service at Gravelly Point
within twelve months, with details to
be completed by the end Of 1910.
No news could be more welcome to
those who have been working constantly
since 1926 to bring about realization Of
the dream of model combined seaplane
and landplane air terminal at Gravelly
Point. Washington for years has had
an unsavory reputation among aviation
people the world over because Of its
lack Of a suitable airport.
Year after year professions Of aviation
leaders have filed through congressional
committee rooms to testify to the urgent
need for a national airport at Washing
ton. And through the years, regardless
Of how many other sites have been
brought to the fore-and there have been
more than nifty of them-Gravelly Point
always has taken its place at or very
close to the top Of the list.
Gravelly Point may not be q perfect
site; even its most ardent supporters do
not claim that it is. There is almost uni
versal agreement, however, on the part
of all qualified students Of the subject
that it will make a very good airport
and that, coupled with construction Of
the outlying "all-weather" airport pro-
posed by the President and the G. A. A.,
it will present q perfect solution of the
local problem.
One Of the serious handicaps at
Gravelly Point, in the opinion Of avia-
ton authorities, is created by the con-
struction Of the new Highway Research
Laboratory Of the Bureau Of Public
Roads on the land side Of the airport
site. Standing ITO feet above the river,
the,laboratory has been built in the face
Of protests of the House Committee on

average citizens and high officials alike.
Never before in history have the peo-
pie Of the world at large been taken 20
completely into the confidence, 10 to
speak, Of those who move the pawns In
the game Of international diplomacy and
intrigue. Never before have the masses
been brought 20 close to the fateful
scene-within actual earshot Of the play
ers In the grim and momentous contest
The magic OF radio undoubtedly is
revolutionizing war-making. It Is not
illogical to assume it will revolutionize
war itself. The propaganda machines Of
the great powers embroiled in the cur
rent trouble have seized upon the micro
phone and the short-wave transmitter to
supplement the indispensable press in
the enlistment Of world opinion In be-
half Of their respective causes. Wars
cannot be waged successfully without
some degree Of support from public
opinion abroad, as we'll as at home. Eu-
ropean nations watch tensely the trend
Of sentiment in AmericaIn times OF in
ternational stress, knowing that an
aroused public can dictate which course
the United States will take in event Of
war in Europe. Neutrality laws can be
repealed or strengthened, they know, &C.
cording to the mandate of the people Of
a democracy
Because the device of radio is COM
paratively new in propagandizing for
peace or war its full implications scarcely
are comprehensive. The tide OF public
reaction may turn on statesmans in
Election, or on an ill-chosen word that
might have been eliminated from a pre-
pared press release. Herr Hitler, for ex.
ample, appears to have used poor judg-
ment in permitting his TRADE against
lying democracies" to pound into the
ears Of millions of proud citizens Of
democratic nations. That was fine bonn
bast for the fans at home, but poor bait
for the sympathies Of Americans.
One need not stretch his imagination
to envision radio microphones in the
trenches in time Of war, to broadcast
frst-hand accounts of battle, with the
rumble Of artillery audible in the dis
tance. Here propaganda again could be
used to emphasize the atrocities of the
enemy, the gravity of the conflict. the
need for further sacrifices by those back
home.
Lovers of peace should not be unduly
alarmed by the prospect, however. They,
too, can find uses for the radio. 1t Is
quite possible that as the world gets in
closer touch with situation threaten
ing its peace, its peoples will be better
able to think things through for them
selves, and less likely to be swayed by
hysterical or selfish leaders.
And as for the broadcasts from the
front line Of battle, perhaps the scream
Of a passing shell or the unscheduled
groans Of a dying soldier would prove to
be just as powerful preachment against
human slaughter as the most lurid
pamphlets Of the peace societies.

REVOLVING FUND STARTED
TO OBTAIN EYE GLASSES
Through Efforts of Mr.. Jesse j.
Ashby, Jr., Donations TOtaling
$3.50 Have Been Received
25O CHILDREN NEED THEM

Furnishing school children of def
cient eye vision with glasses is not a
new idea, but it received added i'm
petus here in recent weeks when Mrs.
Jesse ]. Ashby, Jr., knowing Of a
child who needed glasses badly, began
to wonder if there couldn't be some
way to get them. AS a result Of her
efforts the County Health department
now has a sum of $3.50 for an "eye
glass fund" which it expects to use
as a revolving fund to supply children
with necessary glasses. =.
-Four already have been provided
and several more will be taken care
of in time to give them clear vision
for Christmas present, according to
DR.. H. R. DuPuy, health officer.
DIR. DuPuy said that through Mrs,
Ashby's efforts donations had been
received from the Knights Of Pythias,
Pythian Sisters, Eastern Star, Har-
ned Bible Glass, Methodist Ladies'
Aid, Willing Workers Sunday School
class, Miss Crystal Elliott, and one
anonymous person, which Melted $780,
Glasses cost in the neighborhood of
Sc to $3.50 and sometimes more, and
it is the plan of DR.. DuPuy to have
those needing glasses pay what they
feel they are able. In cases where
the child's parents are unable to pay
anything, glasses will be provided just
the same.
DR.. DuPuy stated that records
from last years eye examinations in
the schools showed total of $50 chill
dren who needed glasses who were not
able to buy them.
In the past the Red Cross has con-
tributed toward the purchase of
glasses but funds have been limited
for this work. Occasionally indi-
viduals have contributed to obtain
glasses for a pupil they happened to
know needed them.
