i. S. AIRPORT AID
URGED BY GIBSON
Senator Says Government
Should Share in Cost of
D. c. Project.

The Federal Government should
share in the costs of providing this
country with a model airport in its
National Capital, Senator Gibson. Re-
publican, Of Vermont, declared today
In statement setting forth his oppo-
eition to the airport bill recently
passed by the House.
Senator Gibson defended the pro-
possl that has been pending for
number Of years to place the airport
at Gravelly Point. which Is gradually
being filled in on the Potomac as a
War Department dredging project.
The House bill leaves the selection Of
a site to a commission and would re-
uuire the District Of Columbia to
meet the entire cost Of the develop
ment. As originally drawn, the bill
provided that the Federal Govern
ment would advance the appropria-
ton and the District government
would repay half of the expenditure
over a period OF years with interest.
Favors u. s. Leadership.
Senator Gibson. sponsor OF the
airport bill in the Senate. stated:
This country should be leader in
the development of aviation. 1t should
have a national airport comparable
to Croydon for England and lie
BourQet for France.
The Nation should bear fair
portion of the expense of its con-
struction and operation. The Federal
Government shared with the railroads
the cost of building Union Station.
one of the finest in the country. and
would no doubt be willing to share
with the District of Columbia the
expense of the construction of one Of
the finest airports in the world. We
need a model airport for the Nation,
for use bv all Government agencies,
not merely an airport for the City Of
Washington
Confirms Predictions.
Senator GibSons vigorous statement
bears out earlier predictions that the
House bill has little chance of passing
the Senate in its present form.
