S. army district engineer from
Los Angeles.
Fleet appeared at the hearing
to present his company's appeal
for speed in allotting them suffi-
cient bayfront land on which to con-
struct a hangar in which flying
boats for the navy could be SER
weed.
The land, according to Fleet,
would be created by the government
harbor dredging program. He said
utmost speed is necessary in pro=
viding for this space in contracts
for the dredging work are already
being let.
Fleet explained that waterfront
hangar space was necessary to pro-
vide cover for workmen who fire.
quently have to spend several days
servicing the large flying boats.
Fleet said in connection with the
proposed service hangar it would
be necessary to bring workmen here
that would increase San Diego's
population by nearly 125,000. This
would necessitate construction o.
5000 housing units and vocational
training facilities, he said.

he hesitated to announce any fur

Times Supports
Wendell WiI|kie

NEW YORK, Sept. 49, UP)--
The New York Times announced
today that it supported the resi-
dental candidacy of Wendell L.
Willkie. Independently Democratic.
the Times supported President
Roosevelt in 1882 and 1896.
I'VE give our own support to Mr.
Willkie primarily for these reasons, >
the Times said in an editorial. Be
cause we believe he is better eLv'.)-
ped than Mr.. Roosevelt to provide
this country with an adequate ma
tional defense; because we believe
he is a practical liberal who under
stands the need of increased pro-
duction; because we believe that the
fiscal policies of Mr.. Roosevelt have
failed disastrously; because we be-
lieve that at time when the ira
ditional safeguards of democracy
are falling everywhere it is par
ticularly important to honor and
preserve the American tradition
against vesting the OlOrmous pow
ers of the presidency in the hands
of any man for three consecutive
terms of office"

 "Golly, what a bunch of thieves they had around Tammany in those days. Even Pop had a fran chise. It was for two-mile horse car railway through Pelham Bay Park. Pop set is up and charged l0-cent fare.
 Seems like there was a state law in those days that you couldn't charge more than five cents on any street railway. so Pop was called up to Albany, umbrella and all.
 "They put him on the pan, told him he'd violated the law, and Pop says, Now. gentlemen, know the law. For years I have been on the bench. Doesn't that law say that no one street railway company can charge more than five cents? But does it say anything about two companies not being able to charge five cents each? Well, gentlemen, my two-mile railway is owned by two companies. One owns one mile, another the next. You can look up the articles of incorporation. And, gentlemen, if you want to sit here and issue an order that the thousands of poor people who ride those railways have to get off at the end of the first mile, in torrential rains and bitter cold, and transfer to the other compa- ny's railways just to comply with a silly law, then I guess I'll have to take the matter up with the voters

HOUSE pR0BER5 LOOKING INTO
 SPANISH CASEi
American Boys Killed So Com munisf' Secrets
 Wouldn't Be Told

WASHINGTON, April 12.-Max- well Wallach, of Detroit, testified today that his son Albert and sev- eral other boys who went into the Spanish Civil War under auspices of the friends of the Abraham Lin coin Brigade, were killed to con- ceal Communist activities.
 Wallach told the House Commit tee Investigating UnAmerican ac- tivities that the boys were killed at a camp near Barcelona.
 The Detroit man said his son went to Spain in February of l937 and was last heard from in July of that year.
 On investigating, Wallach said he learned from some of his sons friends in Spain that a group of boys were killed.
 Tt was because it was known that efforts were being made in their behalf and they thought it would be better to kill them rather than let them come back to let Americans know what the Con- munists were really doing in Spain" Wallach declared.
 Mrs. Walther Selby of Chester town, Maryland, testified that her son Vernon went to Spain in Sep- tember of 1897 and failed to re- turn also. She said she has been unable to learn what happened to him.
