AIRPORT BILL
FACES CHANGE

House Proposal for
Lease in Dispute

A radical change in the terms
under which the House has pre-.
scribed that Military Road is to bo

Airport Corporation for enlarge.
ment of the landing field looms in
the Senate today.
The House passed bill provid-
ing that the corporation shall pay
SIS, 900 for a lease up to IS years
for the road. Samuel j. Solomon
manager of the port, said today:
"The corporation is not dis
posed to pay $4,000 rent in adj
vance for the road with no as
surance that the lease will be
continued or will not be termi-
mated before the Is years are
up"
The bill provides that in event

port the road will be returned to
the War Department.
The Senate now has before it .
bill reported favorably by the SEN
ate Commerce Committee that was
introduced by Senator Royal s.
Copeland CD of New York, and
the House bill. 1t is expected that
when the measure comes up for
consideration the House bill will
be substituted for the Senate bill,
and Senator Copeland will offer
amendments to meet the objec.
tions of the airport corporation.
In this event the measure will go
to conference and be finally de-
cided there.

of undercover criticism-bitter criticism which
asperses his motives equally with his actions.
And if the snipers are given so much as an
encouraging nod the listener will be solemnly
warned that, pity though it is. it wouldn't sur.
prise the heavy thinkers among the Democratic
conservatives If a measure were introduced next
year 70 impeach the President-particularly if he
persists in any mad notion to push through his
judiciary reform.
That fear Of the Supreme Court issue is the
Banquos ghost at every Democratic gathering.
Few politicians escaped having to go on record on
the question.
In the face of bumper crops and collapsing
prices the Southerners in particular know that it
it up to them to devise an agricultural program
that will put money in the farmers pockets
and will at the same time run the gantlet of the
Supreme Court the statesmen saved.
. Issue May Come to Life
Otherwise the issue will spring to life again-as
vital and pressing as when F. D. R. first sprang
his Court reform scheme last February.
The President guards his own secret about
what he will do in the future. He got excellent
results when he held his Court plan over the
heads of the nine old men during its last session.
For the present, the Roosevelt strategy, so far
as the national campaign of 40 is concerned, Is
modelled on the pattern of '36. Deliberately be-
cause he realized that both nation and politi-
cal machine suffer from emotional exhaustion
after toolong effort, the President let the index
of his popularity fall off in late 35 and early 36
until it touched bottom just before the national
conventions. Then came the backward swing of
the pendulum, impelled toward the popularity
peak Of November.
Repeated. this strategy calls for F. D. R. to sit
quietly let Congress stew in these final disorgan-
lied weeks of the session, wait until the storm
and fury of the New York municipal election has
blown away. Then he may again start his drive
for national victory in 3s-and victory for the
original Court plan.
