Many important figures of
Labor, Government and Business
will take part in the program. The
purpose of the Rally is to demon
strate the support and cooperation
of the working people of Dayton
behind the Foreign Policy of the
President and the Defense Pro-
gram.
Through this Rally it is hoped
that a greater bond of unity and
understanding will be forged be-
tween all of our citizens, AFL and
CLIO Union members, government,
small business and industry. We
must all pull together against our
common enemy -. Hitler's mill
tary forces in Europe and his
spokesman in America the
America Firsters who are attempt
ing to sabotage the Defense Pro-
gram.
William Sentner, Vice-President
of the UE and President of District
8, in a speech to the District z
Priorities Conference held in Day.
ton on November 9th, said:
Carrying through the Defense
Program demands the cooperation
of all parties, Labor is anxious to
do its part, Government is willing,
but in many cases, Business lags
behind. The result of this "bus-
mess as usual" attitude is that
only five percent Of our defense
quotas have reached the other
SIDE" Sentner said, 1--WE must not
be behind. WE MUST BE
In helping to sponsor
this Rally for National Defense
the CLIO in Dayton will prove to
these Business as Usual advo-
Gates that the working people, and
particularly the CLIO members in
Dayton r really behind the De-
tense Program and will demand
their cooperation to make it work.

priorities- workers.
The Training Council feels that
these workers must be trained as
soon as possible to provide the
skilled labor necessary for i'm
mediate defense production and
to insure speedy unemployment
of all workers now laid-off.
However, it is expected that
conferences in the near future will
take up apprentice training plans
for workers now employed, who
wish to advance to more highly
skilled work on defense jobs. This
apprentice training plan is al
ready in operation in some CLIO
shops here. OPM representatives
of the Training Within Industry
Division (TWI) r studying the
operation of the training programs
Instituted by the Local SO6 Union
at the Dinner Fare Register plant
and at other CLIO organized plants
in Dayton. "One problem faced by
the Defense Training Council in
connection with transfer of
workers from non-defense to de-
tense work under the TWI PLAN"
stated Mr.. Weigold, lis to protect
the seniority of workers who re-
ceive negotiated transfers"
Those who wish to apply for
entrance to the Defense Training
classes for unemployed workers
can get further information by
calling the Parker Vocational High
School. Information on apprentice
ship plans is available through

The record for October is good,
but we're not letting up" Inspector
Arthur E. Miller. chief of the Traffic
Division of the Police Department,
commented yesterday. He added he
expects the arrests to run as hl9h
this month unless a reform move
ment suddenly sweeps the ranks OF
District motorists.
Not Enough Moving Arrests.
The only angle OF the october
figures that displeases Inspector
Miller is one which has bothered
him each time he reviews a monthly
traffic report. He is not satisfied, he
said. with the number Of arrests for
moving violations which cause accl-
dents-vioIations such as speeding,
passing red lights, turning from
wrong lanes, reckless driving park
ing abreast and failing TO give
right of way.
Last month, 4044 motorists were
charged with such moving viola
tions, but Inspector Miller pointed
out that. during the same period,
43O persons were injured in accl-
dents. so that the arrest total was
not up to the required reinforcement
index" There should be at least
10 arrests for moving violations for
every single injury. he said.
Actually. the standard should be
about u arrests" Inspector Miller
declared. I'VE won't make much
headWay in reducing accidents until
we raise that enforcement index.
Inspector Miller said that the
tenth precinct. for instance. had
made a total of 1928 arrests last
month. but only 73 Of these were for
the more dangerous type OF viola
tions.
I have no objection to enforcing
parking regula'i" - Inspector Mil
Ter declared II I believe the sit
uation CALI for more rigid enforce
ment OF violations which cause ac-
cidents. Parking violations should
be prosecuted. Az times. they lead
to accidents. But its the reckless

watched more closely

New Airport
Bill Reported
Being Drawn
Two Others Now
Pending in Control
Dispute at Capitol

A new bill by which the National
Airport area would be purchased
from Virginia to become District
jurisdiction is repeatedly being
drafted in a move to end the juris-
dictional squabble between the Capt.
tai and the adjacent State.
This will be the third bill to deal
with the current problem Repre-
sentative Nichols, Democrat, Of
Okdahome. has introduced a bill
placing the airport in the District.
The National Capital Park and
Planning Commission is backing a
measure to establish the Virginia.
District of Columbia boundary at
the hlgh-Water mark on the Virginia
side of the river. which would result
in the airport being clasSed in Vir-
ginia.
In the meantime, it was said, a
working arrangement has been ef-
fected between officials of the two
Jurisdictions pending final settle
ment. The question wes precipi-
tated when airport concessionaires
applied to the District for liquor
license for the terminal building.
Under Virginia law hard liquor can
not be dispensed by the drink. but
only by the bottle through State
diSpensaries.
It is understood that the tentative
arrangement resulted in the conces-
sioraire taking out beer license
in both the District and Virginia.
Privately some District officials
predict the eventual settlement will
have the airport part of the Dis
trict, since they believe it will not
be source of tax revenue. At pres
ent Virginia members of Congress
are vigorously opposed to the sug-
gestion of District jurisdiction.

By CAMBRIDGE CRIST.

John j. Hurley, who was elected
to his fourth term as president OF
the Michigan Park Citizens Associa-
ton last month, is modest.
This reporter had no sooner left
his office on the third floor OF the
Federal Reserve Building for the
elevator, when Mr.. Hurley came
down the hall to call out that much
of the credit for the work of the
association belonged to committees.
They've done the work and I've
been blamed for it. Put it that
way" l4e smiled.
200 Homes Going Up.
The association takes in a purely
residential area. and a growing one.
with some 200 homes under con-
struction. In its work to zone the
area, the group collected signatures
and was represented al Zone Com
mission hearings several years ago
by one Of its members, former Dis
trict Attorney Leo Rover. The neigh
borhood has only detached or semi
detached houses.
With an active financial secretary.
John Nesline, and several assistants,
the area is now being canvassed
Mr.. Nesline has a record of 90 per
cent in collection of dues. and one of
his helpers. Val Behrendt. a student
of Georgetown University. received
25 memberships from 27 homes in
four hours.
One of the main projects Of the
association this season, Mr.. Hurley
said. would be to push construction
of a Turkey Thicket field house on
the land from Otis to Shepherd
streets and Tenth street to Michigan
avenue NE on the west. An appro-
priation of S25 900 was secured from
Congress several years ago. ma terials
We're purchased. but with the trans
fer Of w. P. A. labor TO the National
Airport no buildings ever arose.
Steel beams are still there. Mr.. Hur-
ley said although the bricks and

headquarters by the playground in

Defense Work Takes Time.
The association will also work for
the completion of the top floor of the
Bunker Hill Schol. Funds from the
Federal Government will be sought
for this work under the Lanham
Act. in view of the additional school
facilities needed because of new
homes and the influx Of defense
workers. The group is also con-
cerned over the traffic problem Gre
ated by congestion of street cars at
the end of the Brookland route on
Twelfth street, between Quincy and
Randolph streets.
MI. Hurley was born in BROOKLYN.

which he served in the Navy. he
moved to Washington and has been
with the Federal Reserve Board
