Observation-Disclosures the Sen
ate has been telling the Admins
tration how it must have money
news has just leaked out that a
handful of Senators quietly insert
ed s9,90O,000 in the deficiency Dill
in order to build airports in their
States which neither the Army, the
Navy, the Civil Aeronautics Board
nor the White House wanted.
1t SO happens that seven OF the
proposed airports would bene1it
seven Senators who are members OF
the Appropriations Committee. Here
is what happened:
During WPA days, money was
spent on building various airports
throughout the country, some OF
them now uncompleted. Hence,
when the appropriations bill was
in the House, several Representa-
tiyes proposed money to finish "a
of these airports. However, the
Budget Bureau opposed this, saying
the airfields were not necessary.
The Army and Navy also did not
want them. Missouri's Chairman
Cannon of the House Appropria-
lions Committee made hot speech
opposing the airports and they were
eliminated from the bill.
But when the bill reached the
Senate, an appropriations sub
committee put the "a partly finish
ed WPA airports back into the de-
ficiency bill. The amazing thing,
however, is that they went even
further. In addition to the "a air.
ports on which the Government had
already spent some money, this sub.
committee added seven new air.
ports on which no money had been
spent previously
In the SUBJ committee, Louisiana's
Overton was active for a new air.
port at Opelousas, La, while North
Dakota's Nye was strong for a
WPA airport at Valley City, North
Dakota. A new airport was also
voted at Holdenville, Okla, in SEN
ator Thomas's State, but the hear
ings do not show that he urged the
matter.
In addition, brand new airports
were voted for the State of the
following Senators who are mem
bers of the full Appropriations
Committees nator Russell, at
Winder. Georgia, Senator O'Ma-
honey, at Sheridan, Wyoming; Sem
ator McCarran. at Battle Mountain,
Nevada; Senator Tydings, at Cum
berland, Maryland; and Senator
Lodge, at Boston, Mass.
The seven new airports in all are
to cost $2,307 800 in addition to the
$7.600,000 voted to complete the "a
unfinished WPA airports. To make
absolutely sure that the airports
would be built. the Senators voted
that the funds be available until
expended" In other words, the
money does not revert to the Treas
ury if the airports are not built
next year.

Story Behind Free

newspaper publisher, recently here

me: why doesn't some one in
washington tell the story of the adj
vertising contribution that is being
made to the war effort?"

cause at owl they told me that
Uncle Sam will get about 100000
coo worth of free advertising in

Using news stories. For every
favorable mention the war effort
has had in these departments, there
has been at least an equal line,
maybe more, of criticism and that's
the way Uncle Sam wants it, That's
freedom of expression and freedom
of the press, they say.
What they are talking about are
the institutional, company-sp
sored, and civic organization ads
provided gratis in newspapers,
magazines, on tie air, on billboards
and posters. Although the Treas
ury Department has been about the
only federal agency so far to recog-
nize the Importance of this spread
ing the good word, the value of it
is now being impressed throughout
the government by owl, the War
and Navy Departments, and the
War Production Board.
