Tense" We turned downward be-
cause the New Deal was absorbed
in its own political detectives, the
attack against business and the at
tack against the Supreme Court"
Mr.. Willkie said that at the close
of the World War the United States,
like France, was producing about
1000 airplanes month.
I'm 1887" he continued, lone year
after the administration had recog-
nized the need for an adequate de-
Tense we produced less than 1000
military planes during the entire
year. Even in 1899, three years after
the New Deal announced the need
for defense program, we produced
only 5000 military planes.
And this year, with all the des-
perate need of Britain and our
selves, We shall be lucky to produce
1000 military planes-little more
than half the rate of 20 years ago."
Met by Thousands.
Mr.. Willkie predicted that 1000
planes in 1888 would have meant 10
or Is thousand today, and would
have changed the course of history"
When Mr.. Willkie came back yes
terday to the city in which he won
the Republican nomination in June,
he found the railroad station and
streets damned with thousands eager
to meet him.
Up Broad street and other arteries
he was showered with confetti, torn
paper and ticker tape in a welcome
equaled only by the huge turnout in
Chicago at the start of his cam
paign, three weeks ago. Crowds
lined the streets as he drove 20
miles into outlying manufacturing
and residential sections.
They were not all Willkie boosters,
but the great majority waved or
smiled. In the Kensington and
Frankfort sections he found strong
signs of Roosevelt sentiment-so
strong that hundreds of school chill
dren booed and made faces as he
passed.
All the way East from California
the booing usually has come from
children.
Stops at Bell Shrine.
One of the first stops Mr.. Willkie
made was at Independence Hall,
shrine of the famous Liberty Bell,
where he took occasion to repeat his
belief that no man should serve
more than two terms as President.
Senator Davis of Pennsylvania,
Secretary of Labor under three Re-
publican administrations, told the
Philadelphia crowd last night that
Mr.. WILKES talk at Pittsburgh
Thursday was the best labor speech
that's ever been made"
Mr.. Willkie began his speech by
urging the election of Jay Cooke,
Republican candidate for the Sem
ate in Pennsylvania. He said he did
so not only because of Mr.. Cookies
qualifications, but because his sub
stitution for Senator Joe Guffey
would be a net gain for the Sem
ate"

In the event he remains here until

may affiX his signature to the final

session of Congress- ST ,482 900, 600
measure intended principally TO
equip and maintain an army of

for District police and firemen, also
are awaiting his signature and like

BY present plans the President
will be in Washington only three or
four days next week. an inspection
and speaking trip to Western Penn
sylvania and Ohio being scheduled
to begin Thursday night. A major
address, to be broadcast to all the
Americas, is scheduled for next Sat-
urday night from Dayton, Ohio, the
subject to be hemisphere defense
and an accounting of this Nation s
preparedness program.
While the tentative quality of all
his plans are constantly emphasized,
the President told his press confer
ence yesterday that he would make
another major speech during the
week of October 81. 1t may be from
Washington, he said, or it may not;
and as to whether it is political or
otherwise is being left to others to
determine.
If made out of Washington, this
address may be at the opening of
the new Observation-Disclosures tun-
mel, an occasion for which Mr..
Roosevelt originally was invited to
speak next Tuesday.
Asked yesterday about his plans
with regard to a projected Demo-
cratic rally in Madison Square Gar
den, New York, on october %, Mr..
Roosevelt said he had been too busy
to make any. If this affair is held,
however, it is believed likely he will
address it either in person or by
radio.

at Bladensburg to eliminate pollu-
ton in large part of the Maryland
suburban area. Similar programs
are anticipated in the future
throughout the Virginia and Mary
land areas to keep pace with the
growth which is going on into the
new decade.
Largest of the new public build
ing centers in the Washington
suburbs Is the splendid new Naval
Medical Center, now well under way,
east of Rockville pike just north of
Bethesda, Md. With the adjoining
National Health Institute and the
National Cancer Institute, it in time
is expected to form one of the Ma
tion's greatest medical communities.
Development of the Bethesda
medical center began in 1888 with
construction of the National Insti-
tute of Health on property which
was the gift of Mr.. and Mrs. Luke
I. Wilson. With three buildings
already under construction, in June,
1898, drawings and specifications
were completed for the National
Cancer Institute, calling for con-
struction on adjoining property
also given by the Wilson's. The
Public Works Branch, Procurement
Division, Treasury Department,
was constructing agency for both
projects. .s
The buildings are of Georgian
design, with brick exterior walls,
stone trim and pitched slate roofs.
The Cancer Institute was erected
Evening star., 1940-02-25

under authority of the Emergency
Construction Program Act of 1887,
which included an allotment of
$750,0O0 for the building and its
administration. Congress, during
the session which terminated in
June, 1888. had authorized construc-
ton of the National Institute Of
Health on the 10-acre Wilson tract,
setting 81 .463 900 limit of cost, ex-
elusive of buildings, which were to
cost not more than $986,950
Medical Center Approved.
During the same session Congress
gave approval to construction of the
proposed Naval Medical Center. In
the Naval Appropriation Act Con-
gress included $3.50, 900 for prepara-
ton of plans and acquisition of land,
"at or in the vicinity of the District
of Columbia" at a limit of cost of
$4,850, 900. The Bethesda site was
selected only after scores of sites
had been studied and President
Roosevelt and other officials had
made personal inspection tours.
The Navy Department acquired a
total of 247 acres for the new center,
obtaining title to the last tract about
a year ago. The site is bounded on
the west by Rockville pike; on the
south by the approximate line of
Jones Bridge road, which is to be
relocated, and the Columbia Country
Club property: on the north by the
estate or George E. Hamilton, and
on the east by Rock Creek Park and
privately owned land. The site has

campus.
Organized Planning.
Organized planning has been
active in all units of the metrcpoh-
tan area except lower Prince
Georges County, which is the only
area without planning body to
guide its development. With this
exception, all the counties involved
are working under modern planning
laws. The Maryland planning act,
passed by the State Legislature last
year, thoroughly modernized plan
ming procedure in Montgomery and
upper Prince Georges Counties.
The new Virginia County Plan
ming Enabling Act has made pos
sible careful planning in Arlington
and Fairfax Counties. Modern zon-
ing laws also have been put into
effect, with the only weak spots re-
naming in Fairfax and lower
Prince Georges Counties.
Last year the largest construction
program in the history of the WASH
ington Suburban Sanitary Commits
sion, involving an outlay of $780,
200, was begun in metropolitan
Montgomery and Prince Georges
Counties. The project included a
long-sought sewage treatment plant
