MCCORMACK OPENS
LEADERSHIP FIGHT
Tammany Expected to Get
Behind 0'C0nnor for
Speakership.
BY WILL p. KENNEDY.

The contest for the House leader
ship in the incoming Congress opened
today with the formal announcement
by Representative Mccormack, q
member of the Ways and Means Com
mittee and chairman of the Special
Committee Investigating Un-American
Activities, that he is a candidate.
The Tammany delegation is expected
to make fight for Representative
O'Connor Of New York, a member OF
the Rules Committee. who already has
announced himself as q candidate for
Speaker.
Representative Connery Of Massa-
chusetts. chairman of the House Labor
Committee and dean of the Demo
cratic delegation from New England
who has previously pledged the solid
vote OF the New England delegation In
support Of Mccormack, today sent out
q letter to each Democratic member
Of the incoming Congress, urging that
they vote for Mccormack as the man
whose election can best unity the party
in the House.
While Mccormack two years ago
supported Representative McDuffie of
Alabama for Speaker, he is now a
stanch supporter of Representative
Byrns, who was Representative Raj
neys' teammate two years ago in the
contest for election of Speaker and
floor leader. He will, however, have
the loyal support of the McDuffie fol-
lowing from Southern States in the
present contest.
While administration leaders and
Postmaster General Farley, chairman
Of the Democratic National Commit
tee, have repeatedly announced a pol
icy of hands of in the contest for or
ganization of the House, there would
be no objection on their part to Mr.
Cormack's candidacy because Of his
loyal support of the administration
program and his outstanding work as
chairman Of the Special Committee
Investigating Un-American Activities
( Representative Mccormack has re-
ceived voluntary pledges of votes
from members of practically every
State delegation. Some of the lead
ing members of the House urged him
to make the formal announcement
Of his candidacy in advance Of con-
ferences of State delegations.
In preparation for a drive to put
Representative O'Connor into the
floor leadership contest, Tammany
has had its leader and several of
its strongest workers making study
- ID, l. -I~l~
ing the past week. Tammany, how
ever, will encounter strong opposition,
even in the numerically largest dele
cation in the House, which Is from
New York, and will have very little
support in the second largest delega-
tion, from Pennsylvania.

ROOSEVELT BARS
PARK AIRPORT SITE
East Potomac Project Gets
Death KneII-GraveIIy
Point Is Favored.

The proposal to turn East Potomac
Park into a commercial airport for
Washington, advanced two days ago
by Ewing Y. Mitchell, Assistant Secre-
tary of Commerce, apparently received
its death blow today at the hands of
President Roosevelt.
The President made it very clear at
his press conference today that he is
against the Mitchell proposal
While rejecting outright the Mitchell
plan, the President gave the impress
sion that personally he favors the
Gravelly Point site, directly across the
river from Hams Point. He said that
while he believes the Gravelly Point
site requires further study by those in
trusted to handle the matter for the
Government, he feels, from what he
has heard about it. that the Gravelly
Point site looks best.
Ickes Likes Project.
Shortly after discussing the airport
at his press conference, President
Roosevelt took up the matter with
Public Works Administrator Ickes.
Following this conference Ickes said
he was very favorably impressed with
the Gravelly Point plan, but that he
thought it needed further study.
II would be very glad to allot public
works money" Ickes said, 'if, after
the proper study has been made,
everything appears satisfactory. be-
lieve Washington should have good
airport and personally am opposed
to putting one in East Potomac Park,
and from what study have made of
the Gravelly Point proposition. I am in
favor of it,"
Corrects Wrong Impression.
The President took occasion to cor
rect a wrong impression of his con-
versation with Clark Howell, chairman
of the Federal Aviation Commission.
when the latter laid before him the
Mitchell plan.
Mr.. Roosevelt was reported by Mr..
Howell as having indicated he was
interested" in the plan to turn East
Potomac Park into an airport. The
President said today he had the i'm
preston from Mr. Howell's descrip-
ton Of the site that he was talking
about Gravelly Point. /.
Although the East Potomac sugges-
ton has been so promptly disap-
proved, there was increased hope for
a final settlement of the District air
port problem as a result of the Presi-
dents manifest interest in the matter.
Approved by Experts.
The Gravelly Point development
which the President indicated has
aroused his interest has been approved
by virtually every civic and business
organization in Washington and by
many of the Nations aviation leaders
and park and planning officials.
Plans for filling the area with river
dredgings now are being completed
by Army engineers and catch basins
for this purpose now are being con-
structed. The Gravelly Point site ex-
tends south along the Virginia shore
of the Potomac from the little point
south of the railroad bridge toward
Alexandria. Except for small strip
of the Virginia shoreline, the site is
within the District of Columbia.
