Nations Biggest Plane Bose>
Near &C., to Be Ready May IS
$20,000,0 900 Rush Job Will Defend
Chesapeake Boy-Potomoc River Area

It's a $2O,0OO0OO rush job, begun
last summer, and the great airport
is nearly complete. About all that
remains is to finish pouring con-
crete and smooth out the last de-
tails.
When everything is completed, the
base will have more than 4 miles
of 15O-foot concrete runways and
IA miles of 50-foot taxiWays, with
accommodations for three squad
rons.
1t has been built in spite of cold,
mud, bogs, ice-in spite of time it
self-with some of the Nations
biggest contractors tearing, scraping,
pushing, dragging and filling the
4,700-acre tract.
Of course, therell be camoufage

which do not include hangers.

men working on the job-oflcially
known as Camp Springs project
Meadows, Md, although there really
is no such post offce-said the
planes would be dispersed and
moored to rings sunk in concrete
The idea is that no one bomb
could possibly damage more than
two ships, explained Maj. H. D.
Nottingham, Army engineer in
charge He said more equipment
was being used on the airport than
on any other project, civilian or
military, in the country.
And on May IS, Maj Nottingham
predicted, there will be just a few
minor details left to be completed
Which isn't bad, when you stop to
think that the pouring of concrete
didn't even start until last Novem-

Thomas Jefferson's views on limit
ing the length of service in the pres
idency caused brief verbal tilt in
the Senate today between Senators
Vandenberg, Republican. of Michi-
gan. and Guffey, Democrat. OF Penn
sylvania.
Senator Vandenberg had the clerk
read a petition from the Michigan
Legislature, calling for a two-term
constitutional amendment, then
said:
"Mr President, just to complete
this brief Jef1ersonian ritual, wish
to read one sentence from Jeffer-
sons letter to Mr.. Weaver in 1907:
"'1f some period be not fixed,

Charging IAN appalling neglect"
of American history in the Nation S
schools, Senator Guffey, Democrat,
of Pennsylvania proposed today that
the Senate Education Committee
make an inquiry to promote a more
thorough study of the subject.
Declaring that the future welfare
of the Nation is dependent on what
children learn, Senator Guffey's res
olution adds that the present aston
lshing neglect" could not have ex-
listed without approval of educa-
tional forces concerned with direc-
ton of the schools.
1T is well-known fact" he as
serted, that State Legislatures have
been interested in deleting chapters
and statements from history books
at the instance of certain powerful
groups which are unwilling to have
the public know the truth"
Senator La Toilette. Progressive,
Of Wisconsin also called the Senate's
attention to what he termed "the
shocking lack of knowledge" of
American history by college stu
dents.

Eastern Shore may force the Del
Mar-Va Peninsula dressing
plants to close if illegal buying is
not stamped out, a survey dis
closed today.
Poultrymen said the black market

enough to fill the orders and con-
duct our business in a legal and
patriotic manner" William NJ Sny-

Plants have laid off many workers
and in other instances employees
have quit because they did not have
fulltime work, he said.
Norman Pratt, secretary of the
Eastern Shore Poultry Institute,
said Delaware plants are operating
at about 80 per cent of schedule and
that many soon will be faced with
closing their DOORS
Action on black markets will be

planned to get producers to see that
poultry goes through established

Restaurants to Be Hit
Same AS Homes

Rationing of processed fruits and
vegetables probably will hit res
taurant patrons much the same as
household consumers, even though
those who eat out won't have to
submit ration coupons.
The office of price administration
announced Sunday that restaurants
will be rationed ma point system
based on the number of customers
served, with some adjustments pro-
vided for establishments with a
growing patronage.
The restaurant rationing system
is part of the natural food-plan
scheduled to start next month un-
der which householders will use
ration coupons.
Cafe owners may make up their
own menus and rules within their
rationing restrictions and the gen.
eral availability of food, OPA said,
the same as housewives. ~
No limit will be placed on the
number of persons that a restaurant
may serve as the OPA is interested
primarily in the amount of rationed
foodstuffs served per customer,
just as in the case of the household.
Housewives, incidentally, will
have to start slicing their own bread
Monday. A government ban on
Eakery-sliced loaves for home con-
sumption came simultaneously with
an increase in flour prices which
sent the old ceilings up an average
o. 10 per cent. Home slicing of
bread will save labor in bakeries,
paper wrappers and materials for
slicing machines. Food experts
hope these economies will keep
bread at present price levels.
