First Lady to Ignore
Flying Field Dangers

Despite the charges and coun-
ter charges that have been flying
in the Washington Airport contro-
versy, Mrs. Roosevelt does not in
tend to stop flying in and out of
the Capital.
She made that plain at her
press conference today, when in
reply to a question if she would
stop flying because of the dan
gers at the present field, she re-
piled that she would continue to
use planes from here.
Mrs. Roosevelt added that she
feared, however, that it would take
a major accident to get anything
done in the airport situation.
Asked what she thought about
the Presidents dream, in which
he saw crash at Washington
Hoover field, she replied that she
knew nothing about the dream as
she was not there at the time.
1t was this dream of the PreSi-
dent that led to efforts to rush
through the Camp Springs CMdO
site, a move which was stopped
when the House refused to take
up the airport bill on Tuesday
night,

Try 1t, On SIS Pay!

NOW will anyone tell me how this poor, little
Az man can even hope to pay off this bill, keep
his family from starving, on $75 month? That
is what some of our doctors and hospitals do to
our poor in the District Of Columbia. That is
why it is so absolutely imperative to give care
and protection to every man like the one have
mentioned above.
This is great and needful plan in our lives
today, but we cannot stop at just this. 1t is
only the beginning, the first step, and I think
the great doctors are realizing this. They are
spending endless hours in giving their time and
energy to go forward with this plan and to
make things easier and better for the poor, sick
bodies and souls.
The doctors oath is one of the most sacred
taken by man and in my many, many years of
close association with them, their long, hard,
heart-breaking hours, their determination to
fight to the end to save human being, are the
greatest examples given to us of utter unselfish-
ness and sacrifice.

Arm in arm, they walked out
of the ice cream parlor, as
though in a dream, toward the
Lake Road, the students lovers
lane. Suddenly a new fear en-
tered her mind.

do this?" she demanded nerv-

She wished to believe him.

I could be so happy before"
Biff placed his strong arms
around her slim waist, pressing
her to him tenderly. Their
lips met for the traditional
eternity.
How wonderful" she
breathed softly, "to be young
and alive and happy like this!"
Completely UNCONSCIOUS of

riet thought it was all over be-
tween her and Biff. But she had
not counted on Biff's love. He
determined to give up his in
Strument, and never think, play
or mention swing again.
He unscrewed his clarinet,
stored it away, and locked the
case. He carried his collection
of hot records out to the town
dump and broke them into
thousands of pieces. He gave his
radio away to a friend. That's
the end of that" he resolved. He
was a little sad at the thought
of never again going into hot
breakdown or rubbing the
high C'S."
And yet not as upset as he
thought he should have been.
So he wasn't sorry he had
ignored the impulse to be a
swing musician
BRINGS HER VIOLETS
Biff didn't tell Harriet about
his change of heart, and she was
still under the impression that
he was all set to leave her. Two
days after my conversation with
Harriet, they had a date.
The night was cool and quiet,
only a breeze that rustled the
trees breaking the stiffness of
the quiet old college town. On
his way to the girls dormitory,
Biff bought a bunch of violets.
Will this be our last night to-
gether? Harriet was thinking as
she came down the stairs. The
contrast between the beautiful
evening and her own troubles
seemed more than she could
bear. Biff was all smiles, she
noticed. How could he smile?
Was he glad to be leaving?
Darling, it's good to see you,"
he said, taking her arm.
She said nothing as they
walked along. She was afraid
to talk. She only squeezed his
arm, clinging to him desperately.
They directed their steps to the
Campus Confectionery Shop.
Its hot enough for an ice
cream soda, isn't it honey?" he
asked.
"Uh-huh," was all she could
answer.
"I'M STAYING HERE"
The shop was jammed with
students. They sat at the
counter, their elbows touching.
He gave the order. Then he
looked at her possessively.
"Oh darling, darling" she
said. He detected something
unusual in her voice.
whats the matter, sweet
hearth" he asked, touching her
hand.
"Biff, I won't be able to bear
not seeing you again"
who said you won't see me
again, darling?" he smiled.

Senate Speed Asked
on Public Choice

Immediate action on the devel.
opment of a big airport at Grav.
ely Point was urged today by
Senator Gibson (RO Of Vermont,
as a sequel to the defeat Of the
Camp Springs bill in the House.
Senator Gibson, long an advo-
cate of the Gravelly Point project,
urged Federal agencies and Con-
gresS to unite on a program for
its construction.
ROOMY AND CLOSE
Engineers who have studied the
site have reported it possible to
construct field containing ap-
proximately $50 acres, with half
a dozen runways of from 1000 to
5000 feet. It would be more than
double the size of the present

almost as close to Washington.

our fourteenth anniversary on
the airport controversy" Sena-

do now is to go ahead with the
Gravelly Point airport project.
It is being built and the PreSi-
dent can easily order the work
continued with funds of the re-
lief bill just passed by Congress.
Gravelly Point was the second
choice of the Congressional Air.
port Commission and the first
choice of everybody else.
CRITICISM FALSE
Much misinformation has
been spread about bad weather
in this area. The facts are that
you have flying weather there 95
per cent of the time. With the
improvement of blind flying
which is bound to come you
should eventually have 100 per

carry out his resolution, but it
was too hard. Once a cat, al

he would push it away with all
his will-power.
