Establishment of a separate all-military airport close enough to St. Louis to permit its use as a permanent field for McDonnell Aircraft Corp. test flights and for military units now based at Lambert-St. Louis Field was strongly indorsed today by the chief of naval air reserve training.

R. Adm. Daniel V. Gallery told the Post-Dispatch the arrangement would be "highly acceptable" to the Naval Air Reserve Training Command, of which he is commander. His headquarters are at the Glen-view Naval Air Station in Chi Rr I DM til II I HOOIIS Haiiittltm I uiiripandrnl A ot Ihe IlKinlih.

To emphasize their determination, boycott leaders proclaimed tomorrow "prayer-pilgrimage day." They said every "race-loving" Negro would shun all motor vehicles and walk wherever they go on that day. Scores of Negroes crowded outside the Montgomery county jail yesterday and watched quietly as 73 of those indicted for boycotting were taken in and booked.

The Rev. Martin Luther King a Negro minister whose home was bombed while he was actively leading the Negro bus boycott, was one of those arrested today. The 27-year-old pastor of the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in downtown Montgomery returned from a series of speaking engagements in Tennessee and surrendered voluntarily. He was released on $300 bond after being booked and fingerprinted, as were all the others arrested. He was the twenty-fourth Negro minister taken into custody.

More than 50 other Negroes have been arrested. About 90 Defendants. The total number of defendants named in the grand jury indictments was first announced as 115, but the sheriff's office said today it would be about 90. Some of the defendants were listed by initials on one writ and by their full names on another, making it appear at first that they were different persons.

Director George P. Vier-heller said today. Eliminating pollution in the lakes will be one purpose of the storm sewer, which will start at Tamm and Oakland avenues and extend northward under the south waterfowl lake to Post-Dispatch lake, just north of the intersection of Washington and Government drives. Other purposes of the line will be to give relief to the present Oakland avenue storm sewer and provide better drainage for the Express Highway. The new sewer will have 5000 feet of pipe including laterals.

Vierheller said zoo spectators and wildfowl would find the lakes much cleaner after the drainage project has been fin this were to be done, however, the airport would have to be reasonably close to St. Louis. "Most of our reserve members and those of other units at Lambert live in or near the city. Our base has to be fairly close to their homes if our program is to be successful." Adm. Gallery said the reserve program places heavy emphasis on safe flying practices and the station here has built up a good record over a period of It is unquestionably desirable, however, that where possible military and civil aviation be separated, he said.

Informants said one issue at which Dulles will take a new look is Israel's request, pending since last November, for $50,000,000 worth of weapons to counter Egypt's arms purchases from Communist Czechoslovakia.

There is considerable speculation in the State Department that Dulles may soon decide, subject to approval by President Eisenhower, to sell Israel some defensive weapons such as anti-aircraft guns or jet fighter planes. However, informed officials said this question is still open. They said there has been no change in the policy of delaying a decision on the request while seeking by diplomacy to ease Arab-Israeli tension. On his return from the Bahama islands yesterday, Dulles said he first learned of the uproar over the shipment of tanks to Saudi Arabia when he reached Miami and began to "read the papers."
