AIRPORT MEASURE
UP TO ROOSEVELT
Bill Gives Traffic Control
to Commerce De-
partment.

President Roosevelt is scheduled to
receive today bill providing for rigid
control under supervision of the Com
merce Department of ground and air
traffic at washington Airport.
The measure completed its legisla-
tive Journey late yesterday when the
House, without debate, concurred in
amendments approved by the Senate.
The new resolution, seventh intro
duced in Congress dealing with the
Washington Airport emergency in less
than two weeks, relieves the War De-
partment of responsibility for con-
trolling Military Road traffic which
has been held a hazard to air trans
portation.
1t provides that traffic lights, bar
ricades and guards may be maintained
by Washington Airport with approval
of the Commerce Department and
provides penalties of $500 fine or six
months Imprisonment for violation of
the traffic rules which may be estab-
lished to safeguard traffic using the
intersection of Military Road with the
Washington Airport runway.
In approving the Senate amend
ments, the House receded from pro-
visions of its bill putting responsibility
for Military Road traffic control on
the War Department and permitting
the Secretary of War to close Military
Road if deemed necessary. The new
measure provides that Military Road
shall remain open.

ROAD NAMING
FIGHT STIRS
MD. COUNTY

SEAT PLEASANT, Md, June
19.-Persistent failure of the
Prince Georges County Board Of
County Commissioners to heed
the plea of residents of Seat Pleas
ant, Md, for an improvement of
Roosevelt Avenue, main thorough.
fare through the town, has incited
members of the town civic or
ganizations to take their case to
the State authorities.
Roosevelt Avenue, commonly
known in Seat Pleasant as the
Missing Link" is the only con-
Meeting road between the Addi-
son Chapel Road, a concrete State
highway and Eastern Avenue at
the District Line, and it is the
main highway over which most
of the traffic between that sec
tion of Metropolitan Prince
Georges and Washington must
pass.
According to members of the
road committee of the Civic I'M
provement Association, residents
of Seat Pleasant have sought to
have the stretch of road improved
for the past five years without
success.
Harmon o. Acuff, chairman of
the road committe, yesterday said:
"The road is only 1,40O feet
long, but it bears the traffic of
eight business establishments,
IL private residences, the mu-
nicipal fire department, and the
Seat Pleasant school. In addi-
tiOn to large part of the truck
and auto traffic between North
east Washington and Southern
Maryland must pass over it.
During the summer months,
the road is too bumpy and dusty
for safe travel and in the winter
the mud and rutS make it almost
impossible. We have appealed
to the State Roads Commission,
and have been told that the
project would cost less than
$4,000. The commission, how.
ever, will not improve the road
unless the County Board of
Commissioners recO m m n d it
and this the county commits
siOners have constantly refused
to do"
