MILITARY ROAD.
CLOSING SEEN
NEAR DEFEAT
Representative Smith Confers
With Arlington Board to
Retain Highway

Notification of the McSwain
bill to close Military Road at the
Washington Airport to prevent
airplane crashes on the thorough
fare was believed to have been
accomplished by opponents Of the
measure today.
Following a conference in the
office of Representative Howard
Smith CD, of Virginia, it was an.
nounced that an agreement had
been reached which would permit
amendment to the McSwain bill.
The amendment provides that
Arlington county could purchase
the road from the Government for
81 and be responsible for it's op-
Grafton and maintenance and any
casualties incurred by reason Of
its use.
Meets County Board
Representative Smith, who has
favored operation of the road. had
members of the Arlington county
board in his office today.
He stressed the point that 1000
persons drive over Military Road
as in the approximate time that
one airplane crosses the highway.
Consequently he said he did not
believe the road should be closed
and believed it strange that an
airport should squat by a road
and then ask that the road be
closed to prevent injury to life
and property.
Representative Smith has con.
Sistently opposed operation of
Washington Airport.
Efforts to secure passage of the
McSwain bill reached their peak
when an airliner and it's passen.
gers overshot the field recently
and crashed into hangar.
Pointed Out as Hazard
Although no lives were lost, it
was pointed out that Military
Road was a hazard to air travel
because pilots had to take their
ships over the highway at q low
altitude.
Although the War and Com.
merce Departments advocated
prompt closing of the road, the
Department of Agriculture con-
tended that it would interfere
with its transportation to and
from the Arlington experimental
farm.
With the purchase of the high
way by Arlington county, the road
would be kept open, despite the
insistence of the War and Com
merce Departments that it was a
hazard.
According to Representative
John McSwain CD of South
Carolina, chairman Of the Mill
tary Affairs Committee and spon-
sor of the bill, the amendment
would shift responsibility from
the Federal Government to Airing.

Coordination Is Urged
For Catholic Youth

Representatives of Catholic
youth organizations from all cor
ners of the country today heard
the Rev. Vincent Mooney, c. s. c.,
of Notre Dame University, plead
for cooperation among the youth
organizations of the church.
Father Mooney, who is the
director of the Catholic Youth
Bureau of the National Catholic
welfare Conference, declared that
although there are many agencies
in the field of youth in the
Catholic Church their greatest
efficiency could not be attained
because of their isolated charac-
ter. He said:
I'VE must have uniformity.
But this uniformity is not to
be sought through a hard and
fast set-up. What is workable
in one diocese frequently is, not
satisfactory for another.

Six Measures Fret
Perspiring Congress

Congressional leaders drove
their forces forward today with a
goal of final action on six major
legislative measures this week.
Opposition forces scoffed at the
objective, and some New Deal
leaders on Capitol Hill privately
admitted the program was an am
bilious one.
Of the measures which will get
attention, one was already before
the Senate, another awaited Sen
ate consideration after passage IN
the House, one was in the forma-
tive stage in committee, and three
were in the conference stage.
When action has been conclud-
ed on this legislation, the Admin
istration will have completed
most of its scheduled program for
this year.
Security Bill DeadlOcked
Utility holding company legiS-
lation was the subject of contro-
versy between representatives OF
the Senate and House who must
work out a bill suitable to both
houses.
Social security legislation, con-
tanned in one of the major policy
bills of the New Deal, is also
in conference, where it appears
at least temporarily deadlocked.
The new banking bill has been
favorably reported by the Senate
Banking Committee and will be
taken up by the Senate as soon
as the pending business is dis
posed of.
Tennessee Valley Authority
amendments have been passed
by both houses, with some differ
ences in the drafts written b. the
Senate and House. There proba-
bly, will be little delay in getting
an agreement and approval of
both houses.

wOmen'S organizations along
parochiaI and diocesan lines
under direction Of the bishops"
Today's conference opened a
two-week session which is being
held at the headquarters of the
National Catholic School of Social
Service in the 24O0 block of Nine
tenth st. N. W., under the
auspices of the National Council
of Catholic Women.
AS explained by Father Mooney.
this meeting of representatives of
young ladies' Catholic organiza-
tions is largely the result of a con-
ference held recently at Notre
Dame University to stimulate CO.
ordinated activity of Catholic
American youth. At this confer
ence lot members of the clergy
speaking for q different dioceses
concluded that their program
could be best effected by national
conferences such as today's.
This plan is to be submitted to
the bishops of the country for fur
ther refinement at a later date.
