El Paso Municipal Airport will not have to enlarge its runways when the new luxury airliners are placed in transcontinental service in 1938 Hal Stacy City engineer said today Most of the large cities in the country must rebuild their airports to accommodate the 40-passenger 60000-pound ships that will land at 68 miles per hour A conference of city officials on the problem has been called for Oct 13-15 in Chicago Runways at the El Paso port will be 4900 feet and may be stretched to 5500 feet Stacy said have a runway of almost 8000 feet because of our connection with the Army said A Notley superintendent of operation at the Continental Airlines Paso has nothing to fear about its runways being too Only Albuquerque with a runway of 6000 feet will top the El Paso port among runways at

APPROVAL Harwell May Go to Capital To Talk Contract FORREST HUGHES Santa Fe Railroad engineer likes to let his engine puff along at high speed and feel the wind swishing past "There's thrill to driving a big he said "Every time I get into the cab I feel that thrill all over again" Bui when he gets to the end of his run there is no thrill Only a wait until he can start home again When he is out on the road and has to wait eight hours before he can stop to eat the thrill sinks down to a low feeling an empty stomach inspires Always Alert All in dll running an engine is far from a snap First of all you must be sure to obey orders such as running slow over track weakened by rains and sidetracking your train to let another pass Failure to obey train orders to the smallest detail may bring catas-trope The engineer must be intensely alert There are always signals ahead automobiles on tracks at crossings and more signals is no monotony in driving an said Hughes got something to think about every The efficient engineer starts his train easily If he he may damage equipment or contents of cars Heat and Cold For the same reason he bumps cars easily when switching and brings his train to an easy stop While running along he must watch steam pressure and ee that the fireman keeps his fire up His responsibility increases with every turn of the wheel He must be prepared to be called at any hour of the night and go to work in all kinds of weather In his cab he finds intense heat in summer and cold in winter He must eat all sorts of food at all sorts of places and sleep in al sorts of beds at various railroad engineer stopovers such as are on the Santa Fe division which extends from El Paso to Albuquerque and El Paso to Silver City Many Vacations The law entitles an engineer to eigh hours' rest between runs when you spend an hour of that getting home from your engine and another hour getting back to start a new run you are left only six said Hughes wears a man down Of course there is a happy angle to a man getting so much work He is making big money When you work steady you get your 3800 miles the limit for a working period in a short time 10 or 12-day lay-off every month makes a new man out of a tired said Hughes THE END By DICK VAUGHAN HtriM-roM Aatin Carrcpandcnt AUSTIN Sept The Texas Relief Commission died at midnight Tuesday to be re-born at once as the Division of Public Welfare About the only change effected was the name Adam Johnson head of the Relief Commission says he expects the Division of Public Welfare to need just as many if not more employes The Relief Commission had about $200000 state and $199000 federal money left over which was merely transferred to the Division of Public Welfare The Legislature passed a law ordering the change as recognition tha the Relief main job of handling relief on which it spent $116800000 in state and fed-era money in less than three years is over Commissions Lives Past Need Although the relief job is about ended the Relief Commission had continued spending about $30000 per month of state money and reigning over 546 employes many of whom are paid with federal and county funds It was taking enrollments for CCC camps keeping records on the campers distributing $1000000 in surplus commodities per month and certifying men to the WPA as employable The Division of Public Welfare will continue these jobs Although the federal Government has in a large sense gone out of the relief business the Texas Relief Commission has lived on Will Be Permanent With its change to the Division of Public Welfare the Relief Commission organized as a temporary relief measure probably will become permanent The Legislature may give it the job of handling aid for the needy blind and dependent children although another large department is doing similar work in handling pensions for the aged The way the relief job has dropped in Texas is shown by expenses of administration which went from $5772000 for the year ending Aug 31 1935 to $241811296 in 1936 and $48330431 in 1937 Expensive Drop Total expenses dropped from $64-045000 in 1935 to $6860000 in 1936 and none other than administration this year Tor bossing distribution of surplus commodities CCC enrollments and WPA certifications the state pays Mr Johnson $5100 a year The state pays 179 full time employes $2281275 per month to assist him in these duties The state also pays $223860 toward salaries of 51 other assistants who get part of their salaries from counties or the Federal government Counties Also Pay The counties are required to pay all the salaries of 315 other assistants $2496633 per month The peak of relief came in January 1935 Mr Johnson Said "We spent $116800000 in less than three he said "We had
