Taxpayers, He Says

Protest against assessment of the
District for any of the administra-
tive costs of the Washington Ma
tional Airport, coupled with the
prediction that the Capital will have
another auxiliary aviation field as a
defense aid, was made today by
Senator King of Utah, chairman of
the Senate District Committee and
former chairman of the Washing
ton Airport Commission.
The Federal Government built
the National Airport without con-
sulting the wishes of the District
taxpayers the Senator said, so
let the Federal Government pay for
the upkeep and administration"
Senator Kings statement was
made in reply to contentious by
Representative John Taber of New
York, ranking Republican on the
Appropriations Committee, and
Representative Jack Nichols. Demo-
crat. of Oklahoma that the District
should pay part of the maintenance
cost of the new airport.
Complains of Location.
Senator Kings insistence that
there must be an auxiliary airport
came with a vigorous complaint
against the location and excessive
cost of the airport. The auxiliary
field, he said. must be on higher
ground, pointing out that higher
mould ho froo from,
fog The Washington Airport Com
mission. of which he was chairman,
rejected Gravelly Point as sight
for the national Airport and rec
commended a large tract at Camp
Springs, Mds The commissions re-
port was approved by the House and
Senate and sent to the President
but Mr.. Roosevelt decided Gravelly
Point offered the best location and
ordered the airport built there.
1T is strictly a national airport
and not a municipal airport-so
why should the District be called
upon to pay any costs?" Senator
King asked The National Airport
fits in with the national defense
plans" he continued. See how it
fits in with the plans under way for
an infantry cantonment on the old
Arlington Experimental Farm site. .
Denounces Tunnel Bill.
Senator King also denounced the
proposal for a double tunnel under
the Potomac River to relieve traffic
on the bridges. provided in bill in
troduced by Representative Howard
Smith, Democrat, of Virginia, on
which Chairman Lanham of the
House Committee on Public Build
ings and Grounds has promised
| hearings
1T would cost S100O0,0OO to S15,-
100000, and probably more. 1t is
just another way to spend money.
I cannot find words to express my
opinion of such travagance-espe-
cially at this time" Senator King
declared.

Says 3rd Natl Congress

the huge auditorium of the United

Now in a world ridden with
war" states the Call, lit is time
again to summon the Negro people
and the friends OF Negro freedom
to close ranks, lock hands and cour-
ageously deal with the crisis which
today threatens the security Of every
section OF Negro America. It is out
of this crisis that the need for a
third National Negro Congress
arises"
Declaring that millions OF Negro
people in America are hungry and
jobless," the Call reveals that
125,O00 Race members have been
fired from WPA in the past year.
1t also warns that another $4,000
will lose their WPA jobs in the
coming six months through further
cuts now planned. From the
threats OF more than five million
Negro wage-earners," the Call says,
there comes today a single cry:
Give US a chance TO earn our daily
bread at a steady jobr"
On the issue Of housing, the Call
states that the masses Of the Negro
people in America live in structures
unfit for human beings" g.
It also points out that in the Ne
gro communities Of America there
are always too few hospitals, too
few Fairgrounds, clinics, schools"
Underlying all OF these prob

denial TO large masses Of the Negro
people Of their fundamental rights
as American citizens"
