Naval a|Acaden1y
Airport Is Vital,
Report Declares
PIeo for Immediate
Construction Made b,
Board of Visitors
By the Assoeieied Press

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Sept. 6.-For
the Naval Academy to be without
an airf1eld is as inappropriate as
for it to be without harbor and
waterways, the academy Board of
Visitors declared in report made
public today.
In urging that an airfield be de-
veloped without delay, the board
said: Aviation indoctrination must
be fully integrated into the instruc-
ton program of the Naval Academy
IN basic professional category and
it has been so recognized in the
academic calendar.
THE success of this integration
hinges upon the immediate acquisi-
tion of such a field"
A proposed academy air base near
Sandy Point, subject of bitter con-
troversy with residents of the area
and shipping interests, was indorsed
by the House Armed Services Com
mittee last summer. The corre-
spending Senate committee deferred
action until the next session of Con-
gress.
$4,000, 900 Asked.
The Navy had requested an initial
appropriation of $4,000, 900 for the
project.
The airfield recommendation was
one of several made by the board in
summarizing its three-day visit last
April. One of the proposals emerged
from the boards view of its own
function.
Without an opportunity to become
fully aware of academy policies and
problems, the report noted, the an
nual visit can be of little value"
To overcome this, the board re-
literated a suggestion of the 1916
board that terms of membership be
heightened and staggered.
Appointments have been made
each year by the President of the
Senate and Speaker of the House.
Besides the airfield. the board
headed by Rear Admiral Wat T.
Cluverius, jr., (retired, listed these
as pressing needs Of the academy:
A larger auditorium, additional
playing fields and recreational areas.
suitable quarters for enlisted per-
sonnel on duty at the Academy, new
classroom and laboratory facilities
and a field house.
Facilities for $50 Urged.
For future requirements, the
board supported plans for expand
ing the Academy to accommodate as
many as $3.50 midshipmen, develop
ment of the postgraduate school to
meet new requirements and turn
ing over administrative control of
Tome School at Bainbridge, Md,
to the Academy superintendent.
The Bainbridge school would be
training center for Navy enlisted
men who have applied for admis-
sion to the Academy.
General recommendations in
cluded a separate budget for the
Academy, a years study at a univer-
sity for officers just assigned as in
structors and use by Congress of
Navy aids in selecting Academy can
didates. saa-
The report was signed by the 10
educators, businessmen and legis-
lators who made the inspection.

Worcester, Mass, Polytechnic In

How To Win Friends
And
Influence Drivers

An etiquette book is a pretty
scary thing, if you read it from
cover to cover, yet actually all
those hundreds of rules boil down
to just one h in constant
thoughtfulness and consideration
for other people.
That kind of etiquette is every
bit as important when driving a
car, because while rudeness and
lack of consideration may cost you
some friends, on the highway they
are terribly apt to cost a life
maybe your own, maybe someone
elSe'S.
A courteous driver never ex-
poets other motorists to read his
mind; he makes his intentions
clearly known, well in advance.
He signals before turning, before
slowing down, before stopping. At
other times he refrains from
pointing, waving, or making other
confusing motions with his sig
mailing arm.
If everybody applied even that
tiny bit of highway etiquette, a
human life could be saved every
day of the year!
