in order that Congress. through its Dis

evidence that such a project is neces-

Since the movement for an airport
was launched here more than two years
ago, developments in the aeronautical
world have leaped forward with unbe-
lievable rapidity. and many cities
throughout the country. comparable to
Washington, seized upon the opportu-
nifty to share in this advancement by
providing space and facilities for the en-
couragement Of flying.
The present status of the airport mat
ter has been reached after a long pro-
gram Of education as TO the needs and
potential value Of an air terminal here.
Many citizens associations have gone
on record as being in favor of such a
project and the business organizations
have given tangible evidence of their
support by establishing committees on
this particular subject. making inspec-
ton tours and speaking on the ques-
ton In public.

Today's Primaries.

Today occur primaries IN three
States, Pennsylvania. Massachusetts,
and Ohio. for the selection Of delegates
to the Republican and Democratic ma
tionsl conventions, It is believed that
they will have a material bearing upon
the decisions to be rendered at Kansas
City and Houston as TO the standard
bearers of the two parties in this years
campaign. In only one Of the three
States is there direct voting for pre-
ferred candidates. Ohio. In the others
voters have the privilege of writing on
their ballots the names of those for
whom they have preference. but these
expressions do not bind the delegates
who may be chosen. That a great
many will avail themselves of this
privilege is expected. and from this ex-
preston may be gained distinct clue
70 the wishes Of the electorate.
The fortunes of Herbert Hoover are
more definitely In the balance today
than those of any other aSpirant for
nomination. Had 1t not been for the
death of Senator Willis the contest in
Ohio would have been clear cut. But
with his passing has gone the opportu-
nitv for a definite demonstration OF
choice inasmuch as Ohio has today no
"favorite son" in the race for the Re-
publican nomination. An effort has
been made to turn the Willis strength

though not as greatly as If he had
made such showing against the living
willis rather than the memory OF
Willis.
In Pennsylvania. which sends the
second largest delegation TO the Repub-
iican convention, strong Hoover
showing by the writing in OF his name
upon the ballot today may result to
his advantage at Kansas City. although
under the primary Law Of that State
the delegation viii go uninstructed. In
Massachusetts,. now that President
Coolidge has definitely forbidden the
use OF his name on the ballot, expecta-
ton appears to be that Mr.. Hoover viii
