NEW YORK, Feb. (C.TP.S0.
The bullet-riddled body of Thomas
Kilcullen was found yesterday

Street, half a block from the
waterfront. Kilcullen, 36, a dock
worker and paroled convict, was
killed in a speeding car and his
body dumped out. Police were in
vestigating to determine whether
his execution might have resulted
from a quarrel over the loot of the
$4,000 machine-gun robbery OF

Contradicting first reports that
Hardy was shot by a disgruntled
beggar, Davis said:
"He didn't look like a beggar
to me: He was well dressed in
gray hat and gray overcoat. All
I heard him say was I'll show
you soinething' After this
Hardy ran across the street."
The bullet removed from Hardy's
body is to be tested by Lieut.. John
Fowler, local police ballistics ex-
pert, with bullets fired from the
gun taken by Jackson from the
man who jumped on his automo-
bile.
AIDED TRUST CASES
When Hardy refused to reveal
the name of his companion i'm.
mediately after the shooting, Alex
andria police placed him under
$500 bond as a material witness.
Hardy countered with a denuncia-
tion of Alexandria police for "stu-
pidity" and accused them of "try-
ing to drag a red herring into the
case"
Alexandria police obtained Mrs.
Buchanan's name as the "red-
haired beauty" who was with
Hardy only a few hours before
she voluntarily released her state
ment to the press.

Mrs. Taylor told the authorities
she was strolling in the 1900 block

stepped out and commanded:
"Stick 'em up"

vice FTeSlQ6uG OdIuuSl y. OOlO-
mon, of the Washington-H Hoover
Airport Company, told the House
Committee on Public Buildings
and Grounds that he felt sure his
principals, who own the Hybla
Valley tract. through a subsidiary
company, would give the land for
future development as an auxil-
iary airport. He said this would
be done If the Government will
enlarge the Washington-H Hoover
field to 400 acres by acquiring ad-
jacent land extending south to
Columbia Pike and west to include
a part of the Arlington Expert
mental Farm.
GREGG GIVES FOG DATA
DR.. W. R: Gregg, chief Of the
Weather Bureau, told the commit
tee that Hybla Valley, with about
IS foggy days a year, is freest OF
fog of any of the air fields around
Washington, with Rockville, Col
lege Park and Camp Springs next
in order. In the heart of the city,
including the Washington Hoover
airport and Gravelly Point, he
said, there are from SIS to go foggy
days q year.
Mr.. Solomon's offer, which he
said was without thought Of per.
sonal profit, since neither he nor
any member Of his family owns
any stock in the Washington
Hoover airport or the Hybla Val
ley subsidiaries, was the high
point of a hearing which brought
the Army once more to the de-
fense Of the Camp Springs air
port site.
GEN. WESTOvER TALKS
Mai. Gen. oscar Westover
chief of the Army Air Corps, de-
clared Camp Springs to be by far
the best of nine considered by the
District Airport Commission. OF
which he was a member. A two
mile clear approach for blind
landings in the direction Of pre-
vailing winds during bad weather,
and other advantages, make
Camp Springs an ideal site for an
airport as compared with other
possibilities, he said. He told the
committee he spoke for the Army
and as a member of the Airport
Commission.
From the viewpoint Of safety
and technical advantage, a site at
Fort Hunt ranks second to the
Airport Commission, he said, al
though Gravelly was rated second
when all factors were taken into
consideration, including proxim-
ity to Washington and accessible.
ity to the water.
URGES POINT FOR d. G.
''If you are going to have two
airports," General Westover told
the committee, lone could be
located at Camp Springs and
the other at Gravelly Point.
There is no doubt that the
Gravelly Point site would be
better than the Washington.
Hoover airport since it would
have fewer hazards.
1.-THE War Department has
gone on record several times as
opposing Gravelly Point for an
airport. However, with the de-
velopment of better radio con-
troll, this objection is not so
valid as formerly"

, Certainly, Judy. But you need some rest, too"
 'T'n sleep, Mother"
 "Tu be right back" Mrs. Al- colt said. Judy realized that her mother did not wish to telephone her father from here. She would 20 home, phone, get Mazda Hamil- ton to come over, and then she'd be back. What other, ghastly things would she know when she returned?
 Never in her life was Judy to for- get the details of that terrible morning. As soon as light broke over the station, everyone knew of the tragedy. People came to Diane's house, kind, well-meaning people who tried to help, but who might better have stayed at home. Com- mander Sloane, the tall, sunburned doctor, arrived to administer tact fully sedatives and inform them that he had not yet heard from the U. s. s. Relief, the hospital ship which fortunately had been in the vicinity when the accident occurred.
 Diane kept asking him, "Was 1t Bill?" Haven't they informed you which one-?"
 "No, my dear. Now drink this. You must be patient. We'll know soon."
 At ten o'clock they received a message from Naval Communica- tions. Judy's mother took it over the phone, and then sine said quiet ly, Judy you must buck up. Diane, please try hard to control ycur- self"
 Judy had a crazy, whirling fear that perhaps both men were dead. Bill Bell, and Jack, too. But her mother was taking Diane's hands, she was saying, with infinite pity and tenderness, They're sure now Diane. Oh, my dear, you must be brave"
 Diane's wide dark eyes glazed. She whispered, "He = he's dead?" and then, slowly, her head dropped like a heavy flower on slender stalk. A shudder passed through her. Judy cried, "Oh, Diane, don't. Don't! Maybe they're wrong = maybe"
 I'm sorry" said Mrs. Alcott gently. 'They know definitely now. The man who who was taken out of the water too late was Bill"
 The story, pieced together from the frequent Naval Communica- tions reports after that, became clearer and plainer as the hours dragged by. Clear, plain, and more heartbreaking.
 Jack Hanley, in his regular turn, had taken of at the signal. All had gone well. In the usual for nation, the squadron mad climrcd into the clouds. But far out at sea, miles from the mother ship, something had happened to his en- zine. Even now, they did not know what. He might have bailed out. Judy thought duly. But he hadn't. He had stuck with his ship, hoping no doubt that it would stay afloat after 1t hit the water. She knew that damaged craft were litfted from the sea with huge cranes, and frequently recon ditioned. Jack, trying his best to salvage the plane. Jack gallantly sticking with 1t. Her throat burned But for Diane 1t was even worse For Naval Communications said that Bill, who was in Jacks squad

What hap- peued over that treacherous water no one knew with certainty. But the man who had tried to help his friend had given his life in the at- tempt. By the time the crash boat reached the spot. and the ships of the fleet were steaming closer, Jack Hanley was clinging desper- ately to the still floating tail of his ship with one hand, and hold ing the body of his friend above water with the other arm.

0ombio, the ReoI Bush" Country of Africa

SMALLEST and northernnost of ~ the British West African de- pendencies is Gambia. 1t consists of a stretch of land on both sides of the treacherous, meandering Lower Gambia. The colony, with the protectorate dependent upon 1t, has an area of approximately 40o0 square miles, and nearly every foot represents the real "bush" country of the travel books and adventure yarns.
 For away from the river and the swamps, the country is hilly, densely lush. There is nearly ev. cry conceivable variety of fern, the. mangrove tree, mahogany, and rosewood, the rubber vine, and oil palm. The animals include maneless lions, a few elephants, leopards, many species of antelope, monkeys, bush COW and wild boar, In the Gambia and tributaries the hippopotami and crocodiles abound.
 So the country is not conducive to white habitation, and for that matter there is very little of it. The people are almost entirely of Negroid race. Some four-fifths of the natives are Mohammedans. The European residents are trad. CTS, officials and missionaries.
 Bathurst is the capital, only town of any size, with a popula. tion over 10000, including a few score foreigners. It is built on St. Mary's island. It assumes a new importance today, as air. planes often land there en route across the South Atlantic. A cur. rent stamp of Gambia, featuring the new British monarchs, is shown here.

 T don't know much. Naval

 message and someone there must
 have telephoned Mrs. Hardy
 Captain Hardy was the skipper of

 me. She said there had been an laccident. One of the planes was lin trouble and hit the water. An bother ship of the squadron flew How to render assistance. They bher voice broke. "They lost a

 Judy said quickly, "You mean it was Bills ship that went Idown?.
 T don't know" Diane said. 1 Mrs. Alcott was staring ahead thoughtfully. T suppose when your father spoke to the Admiral fof the Fleet about Jack, the Ad- lmiral naturally realized he = he Twas more than merely acquainted with the boy.

 Diane lifted her chin. She said, T know Bill wouldn't have want- ed me to-to-"
