Rep. Engel Urges
d. C.. Baumes Law

Adoption of the Baumes law in
Washington, imposing a life sen,
tence on "repeaters for fourth Of
fenses was recommended today by
Representative Albert ]. Engle
(R) of Michigan, a member of
the House District Appropriations
subcommittee.
The law should apply to crimes
such as armed robbery, burglary
and other major offenses, he said.
Hardened criminals, he said,
would avoid the District if such a
law were adopted here. The law
makes it mandatory for judge to
increase the penalty each time a
criminal is convicted. For the
fourth offense, life imprisonment
is the mandatory penalty.

3 D. c. AIRPORT
BILLS AWAITING.
CONGRESS 0. K.
.l0-Year-0Id Dispute Is
As Tangled As Ever

The 10-year-old airport contro-
versy was as tangled as ever today
as three bills, all intended to solve
the problem, awaited congress
sional approval.
With the House Committee on
Public Buildings and Grounds in
the midst of hearings on a bill
for construction Of an airport at
Gravelly Point, another bill has
been placed before the House Mill
tary Affairs Committee which has
been vetoed by the President.
ENLARGEMENT URGED
This second bill would enlarge
the WaShington-Hoo Airport by
directing the Secretary of War to
lease Military Road to the cor
poration which owns the airport
for $4,000 for a period of 25
years; authorized $685. 900 to be
paid to the Arlington county COM
miSSioners for construction of a
new road to replace it, and directs
the Secretary of Agriculture to
lease portions of the Agricultural
Experiment Farm to the airport
for Is years.
The measure, introduced by
Representative Andrew j. May
CD of Kentucky, chairman of
the Military Affairs Committee,
provoked the Presidents recon-
mendation that Gravelly Point
be developed as Washington's
permanent airport and that an
auxiliary airport be constructed
elsewhere on high ground.
CAMP SPRINGS BILL
The third bill awaiting con-
gressional approval is one to con-
struct an airport at Camp Springs,
Md. This measure was passed in
the first regular session of this
Congress by the Senate, and is
now up to the House.
The Camp Springs recommen-
dation is the result of a years
survey by the special Airport Com
mission, but is opposed in numer-
Gus quarters because of it distance
of nine miles from downtown
Washington.
Hearings were begun yesterday
on the Gravelly Point bill, which
was introduced by Representative
Howard w. Smith CD of Vir-
ginia. Hearings will be continued
next Tuesday morning.

Beard and Warning recently

dians go to hell"
Sioux Chief shorthorn slowly recounted how
the Indian Bureau resorted to typical wardboss
methods to "get out the vote" on constitution
and charter. All those in favor were given free
transportation to the polling booths. The Indians
opposed had to get there as best they could.
Chief Spotted Owl, of the Pine Ridge reserva.
ton, explained through an interpreter that he
thought Indians to live good" life, had only
to "obey the Ten Commandments" Instead, he
found that Everything we Indians do violates
some Government regulation"
Oh yes we palefaces seized this great country
with its fertile plains, rolling forests of virgin
timber from the Indians.
What We Taught Them
right to do that? Oh sure, they were savages,
barbarians, uncouth and uncivilized, don't you
understand? We were to teach them how to be
humane and decent. We were to teach them
our civilization, you know-just like the japanese
are trying to bring civilization to those Chinese
barbarians; just like Mussolini took Ethiopia to
teach decency to those Ethiopian savages!
1T have been converted to Christianity I. and
don't like to see all our Indians going to hell"
''I thought all we had to do was to obey the Ten
Commandments"
Now isn't that just too simple for words Fancy
having a simple, fortnight philosophy like that
Why, no wonder those "savages" needed "civiliz-
ing'-teach them how to slip the dough to the
judge: how to get an easy divorce; get wise to
the wardheelers tricks; learn the "Ten Com
mandments" were lost in the shuttle Of prog
ress-and in the flood of paleface statutory alpha
beticaI soup!
Indians? Pshaw! They're just Indians-sav
ages They only believe "in the Ten Command
ments"!
