Randolph Defends
Airport Financing
In Reply 10 6. 0.P.
Says Amortization Is
Assured Despite
Increased Cost

Leases covering "every rentable
square foot" of the new terminal
building at Washington National
Airport, Gravelly Point, have been
signed, or are about to be signed
at rates that will assure payment
of all expenses and proper amortiza-
ton of costs, Chairman Randolph
of the House District Committee dis
closed today.
Mr.. Randolph said fees and rentals
from the airlines and returns from
concessions on percentage basis as
sure an annual revenue at an initial
minimum rate of $425, 900, or approx
imately per cent on the money In
vested by the Government.
IF ever there were a project OF
which the w. P. A. and the Nation
could be proud for many reasons, II
is the washington National Airport,
Mr.. Randolph declared in a state
ment in answer to charges made by
the Republican National Committee
that the airport will cost $4,000, DOC
against an engineering estimate OF
$4,000, 000 The statement described
expansion of airport plans to meet
an unpredictable growth Of air trans
portation out of Washington.
Mr.. Randolph said the total cost
of the airport will be $13,0O0,000 and
that the estimated cost of $10,500.-
900 was increased to meet the growth
of air transportation. He said that
three years ago an estimate of 81
zoe, 900 was made to cover project
"just about one-third the capacity
of the present magnificent field
The only item on which the prof.
ect has exceeded the estimates, Mr.
Randolph said, was a recent appro-
priation of $2,500,000 for five addi-
tional hangers The original esti-
mates provided for only one hangar
Airlines operating out Of Washing
ton protested that this would fall far
short of immediate requirements
and offered to lease space in five ad-
ditional hangers at a rate which
would pay all operating costs and
amortize the Governments invest
ment," he said.

Counsel Says Newspapers
Are Exempt From Wage Act
BY the Associated Press.

6y tllc hSSOCldtcu Elcoos
BOSTON, Oct. 90 Claiming
newspapers are exempt from wage
hour regulations, Elisha Hanson,
counsel for the American Newspaper
Publishers Association, commended in
Federal court today that "by con-
trolling the economic basis on which
newspapers can operate, govern
ments can kill off all newspapers
which do not agree with the ad-
ministration."
In an action In which the Lowell
Sun has been ordered to show cause
why it should not produce its books
for examination by inspectors of the
Wage-Hour Division, Vernon G.
Stoneman, regional wage-hour at
torney, asserted in rebuttal:
1.-The Wage-Hour Act applies to
all industries in interstate commerce.
Newspapers are not exempt from
extending to their employees the
privileges given by this law. In
spectors are empowered by the act
TO look through the RECORDS Tor Vlo-
lations."
Mr.. Hanson asserted there would
be no free press if Government in
spectors we're permitted to go ION
fishing expedition" through books
of a newspaper against which no
specific complaint had been lodged.
He argued that public interest re-
quired that a newspaper must not
be regulated, except in cases of spe-
cific violations, such as libel.
Mr.. Stoneham said the newspaper
business was the second largest in
dustry In the country and he could
not see how any newspaper could
claim special privileges and exemp-
tions from laws which apply to
other industries.

 Since Plattsburgh there has been a great speedup in producing some very fine new weapons. The troops have not yet received them in great numbers, and must learn to use them.
 "To have a modernly equipped, well-trained army of not a million, but the less than half million call ed for by our present plans, will take until 1942. Should events force further expansion, plans are ready. They have been worked out by the Army Industrial College, which was undreamed of in 1917.
