The commission's work is fin ished and Thursday's meeting was probably its last except for a brief eessio-u prior to next Monday night's meeting of the city coun cil. At that time the commission's final report will be submitted to the council. Under the terms of the new rule, with respect to committees of the council, supervision of the airport's operation will devolve upon a standing committee com posed of council members only. The airport commission has in cluded a special council commit tee as well as representatives of the Salem, chamber of commerce and of Capital Post No. 9, Ameri can legion. Recommendations for Future Will Be Made The commission's final report, wilt include recommendations as to future improvements which should be made at the airport, and according to action taken at the meeting Thursday, one of these' will favor the construction of a concrete circle, 100 feet in diameter at the intersection of the runways. Whether this improvement, which Is in line with the designs of other airports, can be financed out of the present airport fund was not ascertained. The fund is somewhere near the point of ex haustion, which Is not expected to surprise anyone who has kept In touch with the extensive Improve in euts carried out. I Another f recommendation will propose that the roof of the hang 1 ar be painted fo as to indicate to flyers that' they are approaching or passing Salem's municipal air port. Members of the commission ex pressed themselves j Thursday as highly pleased with the new hangar and with the concrete work done on the hangar floor and warmlng-np apron by the city paving crew. They also expressed the belief that the people of Salem will be j thoroughly satisfied with the air port, as this city has been pro Tided with a class A field, ideally situated both as to location and character of the landing surface, with adequate equipment at con siderably smaller cost than other nearby cities. The $50,000 provided by the airport bond issue was scarcely sufficient, they admitted, but the issue was set at that figure in the belief that" It would have more chance of approval than a larger amount. Although not much drainage work was done last summer, the airport Is In good condition for landing now and probably will be usable all winter, thanks to the gravelly nature of the land.. Charles Whaley, 64, and a man named Bealea, 55, both of Rick reall, died suddenly of poisoning from some undetermined source late Thursday, it was Indicated in a message reaching here early this morning.

(AP) New plans by the administra tion to check leaks of industrial alcohol into bootleg channels were rumored, tonight as the prohibi tion enforcement controversy con tinued to dominate the interest of Washington.

They agree that this Is prohibition's most difficult problem. ' Investigation by Commission Blocked The rumors also circulated that the law enforcement commission had been blocked so far in efforts to investigate that problem,' and that the commission is divided over the question of open or clos ed hearings on this subject. Once more, Attorney General Mitchell and Prohibition Director DOran answered their critics in the senate, Doran issued a state ment saying the leaks of industri al alcohol had been checked and that corn sugar now constituted the main source of supply to bootleggers.

Attention was called by Mich ell that since March 4, one dis trice attorney has been removed from office, five have resigned be fore the expiration of their terms due to unsatisfactory conditions in their offices and two have com pleted their terms and have not be re-appointed.

H KILLED HI BEAST HITS BOAT RIOTS AGAINST S MARK T Recruiting Posters Defaced By Uncontrolled Mob in Demonstration Mass Meeting Held to Call On President for Relief From Situation BOSTON. Jan. 2. (AP) A demonstration on Boston com mon in which coast guard recruit ing posters were destroyed was an unexpected aftermath today of a meeting in historic Faneuil hall called by the liberal civic league in protest of the killing of three rum runners in Rhode Island wat ters Sunday by coast guardsmen. The petty officer in charge of the recruiting station was unable to stem the crowd. The posters were torn from their metal stan dards and trampled, and the standards were bent and broken. The ancient rafters of Faneuil hall echoed to charges by speak ers that in enforcement of prohi bition the nation faces a new form of oppression. The Rhode Island incident was referred to by one speaker as the "Newport massa cre" and was compared with the Boston massacre, the first blood shed of the War of Independence. A resolution adopted by an au dience which filled the hall called upon President Hoover for. an Im partial investigation. It follows In part: "We believe that we have a right to respectfully demand that you, sir, as president of the United States, order a thorough and searching investigation into the facts surrounding this deplor able Incident by somebody not connected with the coast guard or the treasury department. "By the continuance of such governmental practices as the in cident above described we can see nothing but the destruction of the liberties for which our fathers fought, for which free men have bled from the time of the great i charter. "We are not asserting the guilt of the coast guard, but we believe the attitude of the government as at present taken will justly give the impression that an attempt is being made to suppress the facts and whitewash a criminal act of the worst kind and all this for the enforcement of an unpopular, un necessary and stupid law which has no proper place In the consti tution of our nation and which all intelligent people know can never be enforced."

At the same time the premier denied that any immediate gov ernmental changes were contem plated or that a crisis existed in his cabinet. He said King Alfon so approved the plan today after studying it since its submission to the monarch on Tuesday. The plan calls for reorganiza tion of "the patriotic union." This is the political organization which was called into being at the in his dictatorship.
