AIRPORT LEASE AGAIN SPURNED

Council Committee Named To Draft Suggestions For Compromise.

The city council, after another heated debate, has failed to approve the proposed 20-year lease of Municipal airport to three airlines. At a special caucus last night, a majority of councilmen still voiced opposition to the proposed contract, contending that the term of the lease is too long.

A committee composed of Albert O. Deluse, council president, Joseph G. Wood, Harmon O. Campbell, | Ernest C. Ropkey and F. B. Ransom [was named to draft suggestions for |a lease that will be acceptable to | the council. Approved By Board

The 20-year contract was approved

{more than a month ago and submitted to the council for ratification. Six councilmen voted it down {and the lease was referred back to | the board of works for revision. | The board, however, refused to |revise the lease. Members defendled it on the ground that the 20vear term was a protection to the {city against the possibility of an|other airport’s taking the airlines | business away from Muncipal air- { port. | Councilmen opposed to the lease contended that the 20-year term would give the airlines a virtual monoply over the airport property.

Welch Defends Terms

Leo F. Welch, board of works member, denied that the lease would be a monopoly, contending that provisions are made for any other airlines to sign a similar lease for the airport. A resolution presented jointly by the aviation committees of the Chamber of Commerce and the Indianapolis Real Estate board suggested that a “recapture clause” be inserted in the lease, giving the city a chance to void the contract after a period of 10 years. Council President Deluse said he had called another caucus of the council for next Monday noon to continue the discussions.

Gas Bond Hearing

The council last night also conducted a public hearing on the proposed ordinance that would authorize a $7,000,000 bond issue with which the city-owned Citizens Gas & Coke Utility would purchase all gas mains and properties of the old Indianapolis Gas Co. No opposition was voiced and a vote was scheduled for April 6. When the city acquired the Citizens Gas and Coke Utility in 1935 it inherited a 99-year lease the company had with the old Indianapolis Gas Co. since 1913. The agreement to purchase the old gas company’s property and terminate the lease was reached two weeks ago.

Pupils to Take Week's Recess

The 60,000 pupils in the public school system and the 10.000 pupils from parochial and other schools will be dismissed until April. 6. The annual Easter vacation also is being observed by Tudor Hall for Girls, Park School for Boys and Butler university. No vacation period has been scheduled by Indiana Central college and Marian college will dismiss classes only on April 2 and 3.

By FRED S. FERGUSON Times Special Writer SEATTLE, Wash, March 26— When you get to Seattle, you become Alaska-conscious, if you weren't before. Full realization as to what a short distance it is from this formerly entirely peaceful American city to an area which the Japanese may attack directly, is registered when you see a Pan American Airways plane with “Alaska” on its side resting at the airport. And the news-

{and signed by the board of works!

papers carry daily stories about the new highway to Alaska, and of workers arriving on the scene to start putting it through. It is a flight of only 5% or six hours from Seattle to Juneau, and three hours more to Fairbanks by Pan American. There are four flights a week, if you should care to go, but it would be advisable to look to your priority. Flying weather is fine, not only for you,

but for Japs who might care to

attempt to come that way. In other words, Seattle is right under the gun, Civilian Defense Efficient With this realization, and a keen, active community spirit, Seattle has been working on its Civilian Defense during the past few months. Under the leadership of William O. McKay, the municipal defense council is working closely with the

state organization, and a system of cross entry of all volunteers has been worked out to the point where almost any dog in Seattle or a watcher on the most remote hill can be contacted within no time at all. Throughout the state, 85,000 volunteers are enrolled. In Seattle there are 18,500 enrolled air wardens, of whom one-third are trained, with the remainder in training. There are more than 1000 trained auxiliary firemen and more than 13,000 in the medical units, mostly trained. Three thousand are enrolled as auxiliary police, with more than 1000 trained. There are 5000 more volunteers in miscellaneous groups, so that the total volunteer organization for Seattle is more than 40.000, or 10 per cent of the city’s normal population.

Spirit Is Excellent

The spirit here is similar to that of Portland. Everybody is in pitching. They boast here that they had a blackout drill a year ago. The Veterans of Foreign Wars sponsored this and a skeleton organization was carried on from there, and then incorporated in the municipal set-up when conditions became really serious. Boy scouts are enrolled as messengers in the air-raid protection organization, supplementing an elaborate telephonic communication system, and the “Cossacks,” an organization of motorcycle riders, is enlisted for communication with distant centers. March 29 to April 5 is designated as “Home Protection Week” for the
