HOUSE. SENATE
.CONFEREES FIX
AIRPORT TERMS
Agreement Is Reached
on Company Leases

An agreement was reached to-
: day by House and Senate confer
ees on the terms by which the
War Department shall turn over
Military Road to the airport cor
, poration for enlargement of Wash
ington Airport.
Moving swiftly in order to clean
] up its business before Congress
/. adjourns. either late tonight or
5 tomorrow, the confereeS met SUB
: ject to the action of Senator Viii
liam H. King CD of Utah, who
has indicated he will withdraw
: his motion which is holding up the
. bill.
At the same time, preparations
are under way to call up the Camp
& Springs bill in the House today
! under suspension of rules.
STAYED BY KING
! The enlargement bill has passed
; the House and Senate. 1t was
headed toward conference when
Senator King entered a motion to
reconsider the Senate vote. Al
though he would not comment on
the proposition, it was apparent
that his action was taken to force
passage of the Camp Springs
measure which he sponsored. The
Camp Springs bill had been pig
eon-holed in the House Military
Affairs Committee, but as re-
suit of the delay on the enlarge
ment bill, it was reported favor
ably and now stands good chance
of passing. 1t already has passed
the Senate.
The terms agreed upon today on
the enlargement bill provide that
Military Road shall be leased to
the airport corporation for Is
years at 81 900 per year, to be paid
in advance. This money will be
turned over to Arlington county
for the construction of a SubSti-
tute highway.
ACCEPTANCE EXPECTED
Approximately SO acres of the
Arlington Experiment Farm also
will be leased to the airport cor
poration for Is years at the rate
of 81 per year. A provision is in
cluded to fill in the lagoon along
side the airport property and turn
it over to the corporation subject
to the approval of the National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission.
Although these terms do not
meet the demands made by the
airport corporation to insure them
of a free hand in operating the
airport, member of the confer
,ence committee today expressed
the opinion that the corporation
would accept this ultimatum and
= % ahead with the enlargement.

The political commission held a
short meeting during the after

hope that the healing quality Of
the Sabbath" would enable them
to iron out existing differences

In the meantime, Warburg held

Rome. Jan. 15-UPD - Colonel
General Hermann Goering, Fuehrcr
Adolf Hitlers right hand man, and
Premier Benito Mussolini have
agreed to continue aiding the Span
ish nationalists with men and ma
terial until possible new non-tn-
tervention agreement has been eff
fected, it was upnderstood today. 1t
was said that their view was that
there was chance Of detinitive

Intervention agreement was accept
ed--as 1t must be--by all nations
which have been aiding either ma
tionalists or loyalists.
1t was reported that Italy and
Germany would give Great Britain
an answer to It's now-intervention
proposals which would be favorable
in principle but qualified, with APP
plication OF any plan contingent on
general acceptance and loyal appli-
cation by all interested nations.
Pending any agreement, 1t was said,
both countries would rush men and
materials to the nationalist. Gocr-
ing and Mussolini were reported to
have agreed that their support OF
the nationalist must continue until
Madrid was captured and that there
fore they did not intend to yield
TO any pressure to hasten Q non.
Intervention agreement. Thus more
time would be gained to send aid to
Spain. II was reported that Italy

out interruption and one informant
alleged that 1000 men sailed from
Naples two nights ago. ostensibly
for East Africa but really to Spain.
On the surface, there was conflict
between reports here Of decision
to continue aid for the nationalist
and reports abroad that this aid
might cease, II only because 1t is q
financial burden.
1t was indicated, however, that
italy and Germany might agree to
cease their aid OF the nationalist
but would continue 1t until there
was a binding agreement against
aid by all major powers.
Reports seemed to agree that
Goering and Mussolini decided that
a friendly attitude ought to be
shown toward Britain, to promote
the possibility of a German British
understanding and at the same time
to weaken the present close cooper
alton Of France and Britain.
1t was reported also that the two
conferees hoped 1t might be pos
sible to persuade Britain to join
their countries In combating the
idea Of establishment Of a COM
munist base Of operations In Spain,
perhaps through a sapartist cata-
lonian government. 1t was under
stood that Goering and Mussolini
agreed, In conversation yesterday, TO
work out Q plan for closer Italian
