tinued, the press OF America must
recognize the terrific potentialities of
radio as an instrument OF propaganda
by which nation speaks to nation.
Vigilance Urged.
The radio stations of Germany

The committee expressed hope

newspapers toward the developments
in radio may be co-ordinated into a
constant and effective opposition to
all tendencies toward the misuse of
radio. especially by any dominant po-
lltical interest.
Without any partisanship, it
said. lit may be legitimately pointed
out in this connection that the pres
ent national administration has made
very extensive use of the radio to
explain and defend its policies, and
only recently the President Of the
United States made his eleventh
'f1reside talk to the Nation, using
400 out Of the 700 radio stations in
the country for the purpose.
This is precedent which, in
future years, might encourage die
tatorship"
The committee suggested that fu-
ture studies "be directed toward keep
ing the final control Of radio in the
hands of Congress, as the elected
representatives of the people. rather
than in the hands of the admins

'The present system of Federal

Plans for development of Washing
ton Airport which, their sponsors said,
would take care OF all the needs of
Washington which now can be fore
seen," were submitted to the House
Committee on Public Buildings and
Grounds at the reopening Of hearings
today on the local airport situation.
Samuel J. Solomon, manager OF the
airport, told the committee the limit
OF development by private capital has
been reached and suggested that the
Government take over the enlargement
OF the existing airport in accordance
with blueprint which he filed show
Ing system Of five runways with a
maximum length Of more than $500
feet.
Mr.. Solomon displayed a check for
$25,o0o payable to the Board of Com
missioners of Arlington County. Va.
which he said would be delivered at
once to finance construction of a sub
stitute for Military road.

Clarence Chamberlin, famous trans
Atlantic flyer, now operating a 81
passenger airliner out of Capital Air
port. south of Bladensburg Md, also
submitted blueprint of plans for en-
largement of that field as a principal
air terminal for Washington. The
plan shows three runways more than
1000 feet in length and two others of
$500 and 5000 feet
washington needs more than one
airport to take care Of private flying,
as well as air transportation" Mr..
Chamberlin told the committee. I'm
any case, Washington Airport should
be retained and improved, either as
principal air transport terminal or for
other air operations. 1t Is vital to have
the airport as close to the city as pos
sible, and Capital Airport appears to
be the nearest large site available"
New Site Offered.
An entirely new site, just north Of
Kensington, Nd, was offered to the
committee by former Representative
JEFF Busby of Mississippi. The site
has been approved by Bureau of Air
Commerce engineers and can be de-
veloped to provide all-direction run
ways up to 10000 feet in length, Mr..
Busby testified. The site is mostly
farm land, at an elevation of $50 feet,
3 miles from the District line, Mr..
Busby explained.
The committee put in its record
briefs from Fulton r. Gordon. realtor,
in behalf Of a site at Oxon Hill, Md,
and from E. w. Robertson, manager
Of Alexandria Airport, in support OF
the site at Hybla Valley, Va.
Contention Of the Navy Depart
ment that development Of the Camp
Springs, Nd, site would interfere
with operation of the new million
dollar NavX communications station
at Cheltenham, Md, was branded as
'unfounded" by James c. McNary,
former Commerce Department radio
engineer, who appeared before the

mittee an invitation for all its members
