CONFERENCE ASKS
BENN|NC AIRPORT
Northeast Associations Hit
GraveIIy Point Site as
Waste of Money.

Additional arguments against the
Gravelly Point site for the location OF
Washington Airport brought another
vote of objection from the Northeast
Conference of Citizens Associations
as the citizens stood solidly in favor
OF the old Benning race track as the
location at meeting last night in
No II police precinct.
Delegates from seven Northeast as
sociations were alike in condemning
the Gravelly Point situation as
foolish, needless vast OF money"
Comparative figures, according to Will
lard A. Driggers, secretary OF the
group, reveal that the Benning pro-
posal would require approximately
S2.OO0.000 for suitable reconditioning
while the other will demand over twice
that total
Mr.. Driggers. who has been a pri-
te-licensed pilot in the District for
several years, declared further that
the estimated s5,o0o,0Oo for the Point
would barely cover the initial re-
ouirements of filling in the river"
which filling. he said, would sink
and probably shift for several years
before settling permanently. thus in
volving an additional maintenance

Urges Laymen Efforts.
Urging the members to cooperate
whole e-heartedly President A. F.. E.
Scheer of the conference stated that
"citizens must overcome the fear that
this airport question is laden With
technicalities unapproachable by any
one save aeronautic engineers. The
situation requires strong common
sense civic backing for its eventual
success"
In a separate resolution offered by
r. K Calvert to provide a permanent
committee on the airport, the purpose
of which would be to indorse the
Benning site as the most logical" the
conference authorized the president to
appoint body of three Mr.. Driggers
was named chairman Of the group.
The retiring engineer commissioner,
Col. Dan I. Sultan, was accorded a
vote of esteem for his able, energetic
service and splendid record" during
his tenure.
Bus Line Extension Asked.
The conference voted to request the
Public Utilities Commission for ex-
tension of a bus line to Nineteenth
street and Constitution avenue NV.
from Ninth street to accommodate
Government employees of the area.
Support will be given the Trinidad
Citizens Association in its move to
prevent construction of series of
two-family fats which. it was con-
tended. would bring in undesirables
and depreciate property values"
At the request of five neighboring
associations, the conference went on
record in favor of ALLEGATION of a site
for construction of senior high
school in the vicinity of Sixteenth
street and Rhode Island avenue NE.
to relieve pressure on Mckinley High
School, The Board of Education will
be requested to construct an elemen-
tary school in the Trinidad area also
A vote Of gratitude was accorded c.

REJECTS CALL.
FOR Clio PARLEY
Boycott of Convention
In N. Y. Arranged

NEW YORK, Aug. 9 G.N.s).-A
call for a convention of all unions
affiliated with the CIO in New
York State was issued today by
Allan Haywood, CIO regional di-
rector, and as promptly rejected
by the International Ladies Gar
ment Workers union.
Haywood announced the conven-
tion, first of its kind to be held
here, would aim to set up a per.
manent CIO organization in this
State as a rival to the State Fed
Grafton of Labor, headed by George
Meany.
BELIEVED SIGNIFICANT
Every State local of the ILGWU,
however, had agreed in advance to
boycott such a convention al
though the union is one of the
largest in the CIO and its presi-
dent, David Dubinsky, formerly
was one of the chief lieutenantS
of John L. Lewis, chairman of the
CIO.
The garment unions action was
believed significant in view of the
withdrawal over the week end of
representatives of the United Auto
mobile Workers, United Rubber
Workers, United Shoe Workers
and the Garment Workers from
the CIO industrial council of San
Dominated by Harry
Bridges.
FOE OF COMMUNISM go
The coast split was caused by
charges that Bridges was a Com
muniSt and that his council was
Communist-controlled.
Dubinsky, ardent foe Of Com
munism here, has been the leader
in efforts to bring about concili-
alton between the CIO and the
A. F. of L. and the expulsion Of
labor leaders tinged with Com
munist Sympathies or affiliations.

escape the penalty imposed on
him yesterday by Judge Harold c.
Brown in police court.
Sullenly sitting in his cell in

moned Sheriff G. Eddington Bell
and asked:
Have I a right to appeal this
Sentence?"
TIME FOR APPEAL
Sheriff Bell explained to him
that he had 10 days from the time
Of sentence to file an appeal with
the judges of Montgomery county
circuit court. If the appeal should
be granted, he would then be
tried by the judges or by jury as
he might elect.
After being told this, Turner
thought a moment and then re-
piled:

by a physician who must certify
that he is in such a condition that
the whipping would not endanger
his life.
The ancient blue law, which sets
a maximum of 40 laSheS for wife

in the confines of the county jail
The sheriff may designate a dep,

the lashing will be done by Sheriff
Bell. Questioned about the case

Your witness" said ingalls,,

The State regarded Miss Tai
bots testimony as highly impor'
tant because it was the first time
any except Paul Dwyer-
had placed Carroll at the scene Of
the crime.
Young Dwyer had testified Car
roll had promised to bring his II.
year-old daughter, Barbara, to the

answered:

Boy Escort Called
Pierce, the boy who was with
her that night, was called to the
stand as she was excused. He
testified he did not at that time

Virginia Moore, a little red

She testified she saw two cars
near the Dwyer home the night of
the crime.
"One Of the cars" she said,
was in the country clubs park

Warden on Stand
Warden John H. Welsh, Of the
State prison at ThomaSton, teStl-
fled that Paul Dwyer talked to
him shortly after he was brought
to prison to serve his life term.
He told me substantially the
same story he told on the wit
ness stand here last week" said
Warden Welsh.
Welsh said he notified Attorney
General Franz U. Burkett. The
result was young Dwyer penned a
17-page statement in prison in
which he gave what he said was
the true version Of the double
killing, to which he had previously
confessed committing.
The witness denied that special
Prosecutor ingalls, had told Dwyer
that he was likely to be pardoned

had him arrested both here and
in Frederick county, but the pun
ishment he received apparently
did no good"
During his alleged drunken
RACES, Mrs. Turner said she and
the children and even his 8O-year-
old father, Henry C. Turner, were
in fear of their lives and had to
hide guns, shells and knives, and
any other instrument he might
use to carry out his death threats.
About two weeks ago Turner
gave his aged father a terrible
beating during one of his fits of
temper, Mrs. Turner said, and
when his 17-year-old daughter
Daisy came home from Rockville,
where she was employed, to spend
week, ner father made her sleep
in the yard and would not let her
come in the house, she said.
TURNED ON CHILDREN
The beating for which Turner
was sentenced, occurred Sunday
when he came home drunk and
started to run the children out Of
the house, Mrs. Turner said.
When she tried to intervene and
take the children'S part he turned
on her and after striking her sew
eral times in the face dragged her
by the hair irto the yard where
he proceeded to kick her. The chill
dren and Turner's father sue.
ceeded in pulling his hands from
her hair, permitting her to escape
around the house, she said.
THREW STONES
Not content with this he then
proceeded 70 stone the children
and throw fruit jars at them until
they fled into the nearby woods,
Mrs. Turner declared.
At the present time, four of the
children are living at home with
their mother. They are Betty, age
6; Mildred, IS: Madeline, 13, and
Josephine, 10. Two girls, Pauline,
81, and Helen, 20, are married, and
