Presi. Boosts Heavy Bomber l Production

WASHINGTON, May 6 lPl - President Roosevelt made a big boost for heavy bomber produc- ton, an urgent objective. He in- structed Secretary Stimson to get th9 job done with "all possible speed' and gave him a secret pro duction figure mark to be attain ed. Authoritative reports said that Roosevelt called for five hun dred long range heavy bombers a month, an output at least ten times greater than at present. Heavy bombers, airmen said, were an offensive weapon that the Axis couldn't meet.
 The President made the call for the "substantial' production increases last night in a letter to Secretary of War Stimson, direct ing him to take whatever action needed" to attain the production rate set. In a private memo, he wrote: "I'he command of the air by democracies must and can be achieved"

Condemnation Suit
Filed by u. 5. for
Building al Suit|and
285 Acres Are Sought
For s., zoo, 900 Project
In Prince Georges

The Government yesterday filed
suit in the United States District
Court of Baltimore for condemna-
ton of 285 acres of Prince Georges
County land to be used for construc-
ton of a s3.200.00O Office building
project near Suitland
United States Attorney c. Ross
McKendrick said Is of 10 property
owners affected by the project had
agreed to Government terms. The
area is principally residential.
The Public Buildings Administra-
ton already has opened bids for
construction of an Office building to
house approximately 450O workers.
Construction should begin within
several weeks.
Last faN Congress appropriated
s6 400 900. half of which was to be
used for erection of the Federal
Office building at Columbia pike and
Arlington Ridge road in Arlington
County. and the rest for the Suit
land project.
Government officials. pressed for
additional Office space because of
expanding defense agencies. origi-
nally planned to put up eight office
buildings on the Suitland site to
provide Office room for about $4,000
employees. The fact that the Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission approved the construc-
ton of only single structure. how
ever, and subsequent effort on the
part of Congress to limit Govern
ment office buildings to public prop
erty within the District held up the
work.
An official of the P. B. A. said to-
day that since the way now is open
for placing Federal buildings out
side the District. additional units
probably will be added to the Suit
land tract in the near future.
Assurance that the site would be
afforded facilities it originally
lacked was given when the Mary
land Legislature placed it within
the jurisdiction of the Washington
Suburban Sanitary Commission.
