objection has been raised bv the
Navy Department, because of the
Radio Receiving Station five miles
away. This matter, I thing, we can
work out in conference between your
committee and the Naval Affairs
Committee, and it should not prohibit
us from using what is by all odds the
oest all-weather airport for planes of
every size.
"C) The only objection to Camp
springs Is its distance from the center
OF the Motel and shopping district.
The Capital of the United States need
not, and should not, be limited to one
airport. For commercial and military
reasons we should have two.
Il, therefore, recommend that the
Gravelly Airport site be also devel-
oped. This is primarily pumping
proposition. It is infinitely better
than the Washington Hoover Field,
but is not a 100 per cent site for Iona
distance flying or flying when there
Is river fog. 1t would take four or
five years to complete the Gravelly
Point Airport, as the fill would have
to be high and require long time to
settle. Nevertheless, think that If
the work is spread over four or five
years. the annual cost will not be
heavy and the Capital will have an
other airport which could be used
under good weather conditions, which.
incidentally, occur over IS per cent OF
the time. Also, the Gravelly Point
site is only 10 or IL minutes from the
center of things, as against 80 min
utes to the Camp Springs site.
"It is because I visualize this SUBJ
Ject not only as one of immediate
emergency to prevent serious acci-
dents, but also as one which looks to
greatly increased air traffic in the fu-
ture. that I hope quick action can be
taken at this session.

Py the Associated Press.
BERLIN, April 1.-THE greatest
turnout of voters in German history
gave Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hitler the
biggest majority of his career in
Sundays Anschluss plebiscite.
Nearly 50,000,000 men and women
marched to the ballot box or were
CARVED there or had the ballot box
carried to them if they were i'll. OF
these, 4S,799,26s voted yes" in ap-
proval of Germany's annexation of
Austria. There were 452,18O no"
votes. and 75,342 were classified as
invalid.
The percentage of yes" votes was
99.0S27, as compared with 9879
achleved in the Rhineland renili-
tarization plebiscite of March, 1896,
when 44,952.476 Germans voted "yes."
Austria 1915 Per Cent.
The highest pitch of affirmative ex-
preston was reached in Austria, where
the voters gladdened Der Fuehrer's
heart with a 99.75 per cent yes"
vote.
The unofficial complete vote for
Austria alone was 4,270,517 yes and
1883 in the negative. There were
in all Germany 49,546,95O qualified
voters. The number qualified in Aus
tria alone was not given, but the
population is about 6,750,0OO.
With the voting completed, there
were rumorS of sweeping political
amnesty-Eitler's gesture of benevo-
lence and gratitude. But there was
no official confirmation. Some per-
sons, especially in Vienna, feared the
aftermath might be strong action
against former Chancellor Kurt
Schuschnigg's enthusiasts and the
Jews.
The vote, held less than a month
after Hitler's armed forces marched
into Austria, eliminated an energetic
NaA drive to stir popular enthusiasm
Hitler declared in nationwide broad
cast that This hour is the proudest
OF my life"
May Not Meet Yet.
Contrary to general expectation.
Nazl spokesmen said, the new Reichstap
Will not be summoned to Vienna for it's
hrst session on Hitler's 49th birthday
April 20. Considerable time may elapse
before the Reich members are sum-
moned. According to German law
there is one Reichstag member for
every $4,000 yes votes cast yesterday.
Germans and Austrians, in voting,
cast their ballots for the list of Adolf
Hitler" and left it to Der Fuehrer to
select from this list of LIT candidates
the enlarged Reichstag of approxi-
mately 740 Germans and 70 Austrian
members.
Theoretically, the Reichstag should
meet within four weeks after an elec-
ton, but Hitler can change this regu-
lation by the stroke of his pen.

Congress, and they suggest con-
Slderation of the establishment of
a single court in charge of re-
organizations.

by the commissioners includes:
/. That Federal transporta-
ton authority be created for two

Act be amended to broaden the
powers of the commission with
respect to pooling of earnings or

permitted to intervene in such
proceedings before the commits
