threatens to reriue all the old con-
trouersies.
Establishment of Washington's long
proposed municipal airport on a
l,900-acre site at Camp Springs, 1912
miles away in Southern Maryland
was formally recommended to Con-
gress today by the Congressional Air
port Commission.
The recommendation was based on
a IA months study of 49 potential
airport sites in the vicinity of the
District only nine of which, however,
were seriously considered.
The Camp Springs site was selected,
the commission said, because it is on
high ground and free from industrial
ana residential development, as well
as natural hazards.
Even before the text of the report
was made public, opposition to the
Camp Springs site was developing
among Washington civic, business and
aeronautical organiZa tions. Objec-
tions to expenditure of District funds
so far out in Maryland and to the
distance of the location from the
business center of the city were voiced
In recommending the Camp Springs
site. The commission proposed con-
struction of new high-speed high
way connection with Anacostia Bridge,
to facilitate transfer of passengers.
Necessity for early construction of
the new airport was stressed in the
report, which declared that the present
Washington-H Hoover Airport is in
viting disaster" 1t also recommended
that bills be introduced authorizing
establishment of the airport and ap-
propriating funds for its construc-
ton. The commission estimated the
Camp Springs site could be purchased
and developed for s3.286.250.
The method of financing construc-
ton of the airport is one of the prob
lens which must be determined BY
Congress. In the past, proposals made
to Congress ranged from imposition OF
the entire cost upon the District
through various degrees of District anc
Federal sharing of costs to assessment
of the entire cost against the Federal
Treasury.
The bill creating the Airport Com
mission provided an appropriation OF
$4,000 for the use of the commission
The cost was shared equally by the
District and Federal Governments.
Aside from the Camp Springs site,
the commission disclosed it had given
serious consideration to enlargement
Of the Washington-H Hoover Airport as
we'll as development of Gravelly Point.
However, it found objections to these
two locations.

y ;s holding fast to his previously
taran position that he is not even con-
Sidp,ing the possibility.
Most frequently mentioned as adj
dad entries are George w. Coan, Jr..
Sore WA administrator, and House
Sneaker Gregg Cherry Neither has
committed himself either way
Either of these two would be
eminently satisfactory to the State
administration forces, it is generally
believed. Mr. Coan won his present
nost through the lacking of Senator
Josiah W. Bailey, outstanding in the
,ightist forces of the State Speaker
Cherry. Gastons Iron major" was
tbe State administrations greatest
piuar of strength in the 1887 General
Assembly.
Taking these facts into considera-
ton. with the certainty that neither
REYNOLDS nor Hancock is particularly
pleasing to the conservative, or adj
ministration, wing, there seems more
than an outside chance that the 'let's
not go too fast people will eventually
bring out some one whom they can
conscientously and consistently back
to the limit against Reynolds.
Reports from usually informed
sources are that Mr.. Coan would an
nounce himself within two minutes if
he were assured Of the support of
Two important 'ltorestA = the Rey-
nods tobacco people and Senator
Bailey.
On the other hand there are no
clearcut indications that Mr.. Cherry
contemplates tossing his hat into the
ring. He has been in Raleigh several
times within recent weeks, but has
not let out anything resembling a
broad hint that he will run.
Some of his friends, however, con-
tinue to talk up his chances and the
speaker has not in so many words
said he will not run. AS a result he
still remains a possibility.
Rewriting for the moment to Cam
Morrison's statement of Monday, an
nouncement that he will not run came
as great relief to many who felt
they would be obliged to back him if
he should finally take the plunge.
These folks felt that he hadn't even
the proverbial Chinaman's chance, but
also felt they would lie guilty of in
gratitude, or worse, if they did not
stand by.
The withdrawal did come as quite
a surprise to a number of political
bigwigs who talked with Mr.. Nor
