night of returning to life.
While the Police Department
was congratulating itself on put
ting down the uprising, two kid
nap-robberies, a frustrated holdup
and several minor thefts were re-
ported.
SEIZED AT HOME
Most serious of the nights
crimes was the $3.50 kidnap-rob-
berry of Samuel VERIFIED, fuel
merchant, at his home, sol Quack-
enbos st. N. w.
VERIFIED was putting his car in
the garage in the rear Of his home
when two gunmen stepped up be
hind him. Slipping a burlap sack
over his head, the men forced
VERIFIED into his own car and sped
off with him.
They drove to the $500 block
Seventh Pl. N. w. where they
Iroboed him of $3.50, receipts for
the day of the VERIFIED Brothers
Fuel Co., then fled. VERIFIED told
police that, while he was unable
to give a description of the men,
he believed they were colored.
SECOND ROBBERY
Victim of the other kidnap-rob-
berry was Blanco T. High, colored,
100 block L st. N. w. Returning
to his truck parked into the 500
block Georgia Ave. N. w., after
making a delivery, High was con-
frorted by an armed colored man.
The gunman robbed him Of $39
and forced him to drive to Fifth
aud M Streets Northeast, where
the gunman leaped from the truck
ard fled.
! Two colored men were frus-
trated in an attempt to rob Irving
r. Marcks, cab driver, by strong
arm" methods.
ROBBERY THWARTED
The would-be robbers hired
Marcks' cab at Twelfth and H
Streets Northeast, and told him
to drive to Capitol Heights, Md
While driving out Benning Road
Northeast, the two tried strong
arm" tactics on Marcks, but not
strong enough. Marcks fought
back and the men fled into a
neighboring woods.
A truck laden with 5000 worth
of candy was reported stolen from
parking space at Fifteenth and
S Streets Northwest. The truck
and cargo was owned by the
Harris Candy Company, 1908 e
st. S. w., and was stolen while
the driver, James Strickland,
colored, was making a delivery.

NAVY ASSAILS
camp SPRINGS
AIR FIELD SITE
TWOOfficers Heard
By House Group

The Navy laid down a devasta-
ting barrage today against the
Camp Springs Airport site.
Two Naval officers, represent
ing naval aviation and naval
radio, presented to the House
Committee on Public Buildings
and Grounds, reviewing the whole
field of airport controversy, what
Chairman Fritz G. Lanham CD
of Texas, characterized as a very
persuasive case" against Camp
Springs.
Comdr. w. J. Ruble. naval engi-
neer, and Lieut.. Comdr. w. D.
Sample, of the Navy Bureau Of
Aeronautics, we're the witnesses.
TELL OBJECTIONS
They told the committee that to
establish an airport at Camp
Springs would reduce the et.
ficiency of the Naval radio sta
ton nov under construction IS
per cent, cost the Navy several
million dollars and seriously en-
danger the national defense in
time Of war.
They pointed out that it is neces-
sary Tor Naval communications to
keep m touch with ships all over
the world, and that they finally
had settled on their Camp Springs
radio site after searching three
and one-half years for an ideal To-
cation.
They own 500 acres of land
about one and one-half miles from
the airport site, recommended to
Congress by the District Airport
Commission after secret delibera.
tions.
NAVY "ASTONISHED"
In informal conversations at the
conclusion of today's hearing, the
naval officers said the Navy was
never able to learn anything about
the deliberations of the airport
commission, did not have repre-
sentative on the commission, and
was astonished when it reported
in favor of Camp Springs.
They told the committee that
for maximum efficiency the Navy
radio towers should be at least
five miles from major airlanes and
10 miles from any airport, and
that they acquired the present site
in the Maryland hills, east Of
Washington, because it was the
only one they could find that met
these requirements.
