LANDING FIELD
 WILL SOON BE IN GOOD SHAPE
US. Army Bombing Planes Expected in Juneau
 Early in August

Work on the landing field being prepared for the expected visit ol 10 Martin bombing planes of the United States Army early in Aug ust, is progressing rapidly.
 Rolling of the field was begun last Monday, and nearly all of the field has been flattened out suf- ficiently to show what portions of it will need excavating or filling.
 So smooth is the site that nc more than a foot will have to be cut off at any place, and filling will be limited to a few inches in shallow ditches and places where pools of water have collected.
 According to the latest informa- tion received, the planes will leave Washington, D. C., July g or 24 and will proceed by way of Cana dian cities to Fairbanks. A non- stop flight from Fairbanks to Ju- neau is planned, and another from Juneau to Seattle.
 Possibility of a permanent landing field at the location, which is back of the Mendenhall Dairy, is said to be precluded by the proposed erection of an antenna station which would cut across the field.
 With favorable weather during the next few days, the field should soon be in shape suitable for land- ing any type of plane, according to Charles E. Smith, Operator -i7a- Charge of the Signal Corps here, under whose direction, the work is being performed by the Bureau of Public Roads.

CODE
GETS 90-DAY
EXTENSION
Price Plan Set Back by Sus-
pension of Fair Trade
Practice Clause

Chances that minimum prices
for laundry work may be estab-
lished in the Washington trade
area, as recently proposed to the
NRA by the local code control
board for the industry, became
simmer today as a result of the
suspension of thu fair trade prac-
tice provisions of the laundry
code.
These provisions, ordered to be
dropped by Brig. Gen. Hugh S.
Johnson, included the right to fix
minimum charges for all washing,
ironing and other laundry work.
IS Per Cent Needed
The order does not completely
kill all possibility of minimum
prices here, however, since, under
the terms of the new regulations,
they may be put into practice If
IS per cent of the members Of the
industry in a particular local area
agree on schedules to be approved
by the NRA.
Meanwhile, the laundry code it.
self, originally slated to last for
but 80 days when originally ap-
proved on February 16, and con-
tinued for another 80 days until
June 16, has been given another
80 days of life under an order
from General johnson.
Controversy Develops
Much controversy developed
within the local laundry industry
when minimum prices were first
proposed to the NRA some weeks
ago. Sponsors of the plan claimed
that the prices would not raise
existing levels, and would help
laundries to meet increased costs
under Blue Eagle rules as cut
throat competition would be elm
mated,

MEASURE Goes.
To PRESIDENT
FOR HIS D. K.
Allows Borrowing $10,750,000
To Be Spent in Needed
Municipal Projects

Action by the Senate today IN
concurring to the House amend
ments to the District PWA loan
authorization bill sent the. meas
ure to the President.
AS finally approved by the Con-
greSs, the proposal will allow the
District Commissioners to apply
to the PWA for loans for local
construction projects amounting
to $10,750,000.
Four Projects Planned
It is tacitly understood that the
loans to be applied for will be
made for the following projects:
A sewage disposal plant, a
tuberculosis hospital, an addition
to Gallinger Hospital and a wall
around part of the Lorton Re-
formatory.
In moving that the Senate &C
cept the House amendments,
which: reduced the amount the
Commissioners may apply for
from $40, 900 600, Senator William
H. King 3D., Utah, chairman
of the Senate District Committee,
explained that he did not believe
the House did the advisable thing
in reducing the amounts, but that
following discussions with various
city officials and members of the
House he did not believe prolong-
ing the controversy would have
any beneficial result and there
fore thought the Senate should
concur.
Unanimously Accepted
With no other discussion the
Senate unanimously accepted
Senator Kings motion.
One of the items provided for
in the original Senate bill was
a fund for the municipal center,
but this was eliminated under
the House amendments.
Senator King, however, assert
ed that he has been promised
by House members that they will
cooperate with him at the next
session Of Congress to obtain this
fund, either in the regular appro-
priation bill or q separate meas
ure to carry out this project.
