Although the Army Air Base may
be released for civilian use after
the defeat of Japan, community
leaders are of the same impression.
Since Mr.. Rappleyea's discussion
of the air transportation problem
into Wilmington at meeting of
the Lions club here last month,
the subject has been scussed
widely. The general opinion is that
the City should take immediate
steps to provide facilities for COM
mercial aircraft.
1t was the belief OF City and
County officials that, according to
reports from Wilmington two CT
william landing fields, civilians are
becoming more and more air
minded. According to these facts,
the City cannot take its place in
the commercial air transportation.
This was stressed by Mayor Lane
last n ght, although he was unable
to offer any immediate plan for
advancement of a solution to the
air transportation problem in this
area

Wheeler made the point that in

Connally declared today that he
was expressing only his "indlvi

When the agreements come

He expressed confidence that the
Senate whether it be Republican
