APPROVAL OF
Airport Group of City Coun
cil Holds Last Session
t Of Its Existence
Final Report to Be Submit
ted at Meeting Slated
I Monday Evening
Acceptance of the newly con
structed hangar and warming-up
apron, final units of construction
at the Salem municipal airport un
der the presfcnt program, wag vot
ed by the airport commission at a
meeting held Thursday during the
noon hour at the airport.
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

a message reaching here early this
morning.
The two men, who are well
known here, were at Otis, near
the coast, when the tragedy oc
curred. The bodies were still at
Otis this l orning and arrange
ments were to be made soon for
a Iheir removal to Salem.

TIGHTENING!
ENFORCEMENT
AGAIN SOUGHT
Leaks of Industrial Alcohol
Into Bootleg Channels
Will Be Stopped
Attorney General Mitchell
and Prohibition Chief
Answer Critics
WASHINGTON. Jan. 2. (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.
Apparently gratified by the as
surance of Senator Jones, of
Washington, that the Hoover law
enforcement commission would
not go into the wisdom or un
wisdom of the eighteenth amend
ment, the clashing dry leaders
centered their attention on the in
dustrial alcohol situation.. 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. Senator Borah, of
Idaho, stood by his contention that
the administration of the industri
al alcohol permit system consti
tuted a "scandal."
Turnover In District
Attorneys Held Great
Attorney General Mitchel listed
the turnover In district attorneys
since the Hoover administration
began, and said he had received
no information from Senator Bo
rah about the latter'a complaint
that "practically open saloons are
running," in the jurisdiction of
many district attorneys. Thia re
port reached the Idaho senator
and he was understood to have
replied that the attorney general
ought to be able to find the evi
dence himself.
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. He also said that
the terms of 13 other district at
torneys would expire before Feb

she got under way again. In the
meanwhile, the Snohomish had
left Port Angeles and the JIaida
followed soon after from Seattle.
Early reports that the Califor

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."

Democracy To Be

Spanish Dictator to Relinquish Grip on Gov

Past Seven Years; Plans Announced
MADRID, Jan. 2. (AP) General Primo de Rivera, the
Spanish premier, in what many believe is part of his
political testament, today laid before the country a plan pro
viding for a return to constitutional guarantees and parlia
mentary government by next
September.' That would be
just seven years after the sus

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

For Next Month
In the attempt to get new
blood into the administration of
the party, elections for provincial
delegates to its central body will
be held in February. If these
turn out in a manner approved by
the dictatorship the next step will
be popular elections for municipal
councils and provincial legisla
tures. But only about one fourth
of the present membership of
these latter bodies la to be
changed.
The ultimate fate of the present
national assembly is undecided.
It has a legal life until Septem

continue in its present capacity of
being purely advisory, or whether
it is to be given at least a modi
