TIME ELEMENT

BY moving the airport to Camp
Springs, many miles from the CEN
ter of the city, the time would be
heightened, it was pointed out,
and service lesSened in value to
many businessmen who now use
the lines.
With two excellent sites avail
able, the air line operators are OPP
posed to making a move which
would slow down their service and
put the travelling public to the in.

Road has been authorized, elimi.

plans are under way to develop
that field into one of the best air.
ports in the country.
GRAVELLY POINT
Also available for development
is the Gravelly Point site, less than
10 minutes from the heart of the
city and offering excellent posi-
bilities for modern port.
Objections to the Gravelly Point
site on the ground that it would
be logged in and unsafe have been
Scoffed at by Army and Navy
filters, who point out that Boiling
Field, the Army air station, and
the Anacostia Naval Air Station
occupy relative positions on this
side of the river, and that these
fields have experienced little
trouble.
Aside from it's distance from
the city, the Camp Springs site
has been opposed on the ground
that it would be detrimental to
national defense, since it would
interfere with the new high-power
Navy radio station now under con.
struction at Cheltenham, Md, a
short distance away.
STATION is VITAL
This new station is regarded as
vital to maintain communication
with the fleet and Navy head
quarters here, and experts have
testified that location of an air
port at Camp Springs would cut
down it's efficiency seriously.
Cost of purchasing land and
developing an airport at Camp
Springs would be much greater
than developing the present air
port or the Gravelly Point site, it
has been estimated.

there has been much hesitation in following the
rally since most men are loath to trust such an
unstable Administration as ours. The dollar has
been heavily sold and has lost ground relatively
to pounds and francs, indicating tendency to
withdraw foreign funds from this country.
Unquestionably the market is nearing critical

level that the averages broke through on March

QuestiOn-Hope or Fear?

WHAT has happened so far has been squirt
" based upon initiation possibilities and Gov
eminent spending This was aided by the con-
fidence that came with the defeat of the Con-
gress rubber stamping bill. Then, between Mon
day and Friday, came some hesitation and
little reaction, as people considered whether
Congress would support a spending program
and whether such program would work Finally
came turn on Friday, and jump upward on
Saturday.
The big question now is, will the latest move
at Washington cause hope or fear? On Friday,
the two seemed to be equally blended. On Sat
urday, hope seemed to have gained ascendancy.
On the hope side, we find that the changes
now favor more business confidence, either based
on the defeat of Roosevelt or voluntary adjust
ments on his part. At the very least, there will
be breathing spell till after November

me realize fully as know he does, how desperate
conditions are.
OF course, no man in this world is perfect and
no man can always be right He may have said
when he came into office that we must balance
our budget and he may have tried to do that. But
if terrific storm hits captain at sea and blows
him miles off his course, he doesn't stop his
engine or pull down his sails and quit He keeps
forging ahead with all the power at his command
to try to save his vessel and, if he is courageous
enough and his crew are back Of him. he almost
always makes port safely.
This, think, is what the President is trying to
do and sincerely hope the American people will
back him up and give our Ship of State chance
to sail into calmer waters.

YANKEE STADIUM, New York, Oct. 8-Monte Pearson struck out nine batters and yielded but five hits as he pitched the New York Yankees to five to two victory over the Chicago Cubs in the third game of the World Series. Joe Cor don, rookie second base m n, knocked across three runs with single and homer as the Tanks drove Clay Bryant from the mound to gain their third straight triumph.
 Fight..!
 Tempers of the two teams were near the breaking point in the eighth inning when Selkirk, Yank outfielder, ducked a fast throw in- side, but the ball struck his bat and rolled to French who tossed him out. This angered Selkirk, who strode toward French as Umpire ziggy Seats jumped between them. In an instant, both benches were emptied as players piled from the dugouts and out onto the field It took several minutes for the umpireS to calm them.
 Cubs Handcuffed
 Pearson, pitching his third world series victory in three years, had the Cubs handcuffed most of the way. Only Marty with three hits, finding him no puzzle. The big highlander struck out four in a row in the first and second in- nings and did not fail to whiff at least one in each frame until the sixth.
 The Cubs had opportunity ta score in the first and third but failed to produce the batting punch to put it over The bags were load- ed in the first with only one away but Reynolds and Hartnett both famed. Again in the third the Cubs threatened with men on first and third but Pearson again stood them on their ears.
 Homers
 Hack scored the first Cub run in the fifth after leading off with double and scoring on a force play with the aid of Gordon's er- TOT. Making up for his error, Cor don blasted out a homer in the Tank half of the fifth to tie the score and Rolfe's single drove Pear son over with the second run to give the Tanks the lead.
 Marty came through with hom- CT for the Cubs in the first of the eighth and Dickey stepped into the first pitch for home run as the Tanks came to bat in the last half or the eighth. The Tanks also scored in the sixth.
