CHANCES TO PASS
AIRPORT BILL GAIN
Enactment at This Session
! May Result From Pre-.
ferred Status.

The action of the Senate steering
committee yesterday Afternoon in CIV
ing preferred status to the Bingham
Nelson bill, for the establishment of
the District airport near the south end
Of Highway Bridge, will increase the
chances of this legislation for enact
ment at the present session.
The airport measure was placed third
in a list of bills selected by the steer
ing committee for special consideration,
it was announced by Senator Golf, Re-
publican, of West Virginia, steering
committee chairman. The two other
questions that must be disposed of first
are a proposed amendment to the Sen
ate rules and bill to reorganize the
Federal Power Commission.
Under the pending bill the airport
would be developed by acquiring Hoover
flying fields across the river, and COM
bining them with adjacent land already
owned by the Federal Government.
The cost OF developing the project
would be met by loan of $2,500,000
from the Treasury Department, to be
repaid by the District over a period
of years. The amounts advanced would
be refunded within 10 years, starting
one year after being expended.
When the Senate District commit
tee held hearings on the measure sew
eral weeks ago the Board of Trade,
through Lawrence E. Williams, strongly
supported the bill, while Lieut.. Walter
Hinton of the Chamber of Commerce,
and Charles I. Stengle of the Fedora
ton of Citizens Associations spoke
against it.

NON-RECOGN|T|ON
OF RUSSIA LAUDED
Or. Walsh Says Soviet's Pol
icy Confirms Wisdom of
American Attitude.

Russia's public record of the last 10
years in its dealings with other nations
demonstrates the wisdom of the un-
wavering policy of the United States in
withholding recognition, DIR. Edmund A.
Walsh, S. j., vice president of George
town University and regent of the
School of Foreign Service. declared in
an address last night which concluded
his series of public studies of the Rus
sian question.
Contending that only the malicious
and uniformed complain that the
American policy is based on an atti-
tude of unfriendliness to the Russian
people, DR.. Walsh said the reason for
non-recognition is solely because the
Soviet government has violated every
principle of international law and seeks
to destroy every form OF government
opposed to its own.
Referring to the experiences of other
nations which have recognized Russia
only to regret it." DR.. Walsh said that
if a few more initiated the courage of
the Mexican government in recalling
the Soviet envoy, there might be a
return to sanity in Russia"
DR.. Walsh denounced the propagan-
diStS In this country who are seeking
to stir up revolt and undermine Amer
lean traditions and declared that, while
Russia knocks on the door for recogni-
ton, it announces in the same voice its
avowed intentions to repudiate the &C
cepted usageS of international law.
