District Jurisdiction
Over Airport Urged
BY Senator McCarran

A declaration that the Washing
ton National Airport should be a
part Of the District, instead of Vir-
ginia, came today from Senator Nc
Carran, Democrat. of Nevada, chair
man Of the Senate Judiciary Com
mittee.
Shortly after Chairman Randolph
OF the House District Committee
yesterday reintroduced his bill of
last session to settle the century
old District-Virginia boundary dis
|pute, the Nevada Senator expressed
hope the issue would be settled, but
added the airport should not be
ceded to Virginia.
During the past Congress, Sena-
tor McCarran sponsored two bills
seeking to end confusion arising
from uncertainty Of the old hound
ary line, which has created a no
mans land" along the Virginia side
Of the Potomac.
One would have declared the air
port in the District, though other
wise fixing the boundary at the
present mean highwater mark on
the Virginia shore, as does the Ran
dolph bill. The latter bill, however
leaves the port within Virginia ter
ritory and, since it is federally
owned, reserves to the United States
concurrent jurisdiction over the air
port.
Senator McCarran, seeing little
chance Of action on his boundary
bill last session, also offered a bill
to apply District laws and regula-
tions to all the Federal reservations
In nearby Virginia without touch.
ing the boundary issue. That bill
also died with the old Congress,
Meanwhile, House District Com.
mittee spokesmen said the All
Transport Association, representins
81 operating air lines, had suggested
an amendment to the Randolph bill
which would treat the airport a.
an exclusive Federal jurisdiction
though granting Virginia limited
taxing power and powers of SERVING
criminal and civil processes there.

Legislators Refuse
Referendum Pledge
On Liquor Sale Ban

More than 200 residents of Colmar
Manor and Cottage City, Md, last
night demanded that the Prince
Georges County delegation to the
State Legislature support bill pro-
viding for a referendum on a pro-
posal to ban the sale Of whisky in
the two towns. They failed to obtain
a definite pledge from three Of the
six delegates and from the county's
State Senator who attended the
meeting in the Cottage City Fire
house.
A dozen speakers deplored con-
ditions along the Baltimore boule-
ward, which divides the two towns,
arising from what they charged was
the practice of liquor establishments
there to sell whisky on Sundays and
after the 2 am. closing hour.
The Rev. John Culver, pastor Of
the Wilson Avenue Baptist Church,
Colmar Manor, then asked whether
the legislators present would support
the proposed measure.
While refusing to commit himself
or speak for other members of the
delegation pending a meeting of the
entire group, Leroy Pumphrey de-
clared:
Nobody can close his eyes to the
fact that you people have trouble
here and. incidentally, demands
have come to me from all over the
county for something to be done
about the liquor question.
Favors Some Action.
Speaking for myself, I think
something should be done. I can't
see how LIQUOR esta Adjustments in the
county can justify keeping open
after taverns close in the District
at midnight. promiseSyou that the
problem will be given our very earn
est consideration"
State Senator L. Harold Sothoron
asserted that there Is difference
of opinion as to how the problem
should be solved. After all, referen-
dunn is no panacea"
Delegates Samuel H. Harvey and
Noah Jofie did not speak. Members
of the legislative delegation who did
not attend were John S. White,
speaker of the House of Delegates;
Perry o. Wilkinson and DR.. N. B.
Steward
Mayor John N. Torvestad of Col
mar Manor pointed out that a pro-
posal for a referendum is not new
idea" in the county. He said similar
bills had been approved by the Legis-
lature for Hyattsville and Riverdale
in 1897.
Home Sales Threatened.
Several persons said they would
be forced to sell their homes unless
present conditions improve. r. ".
Yost, member of the Colmar
Manor Town Council, said there
are so many drunks out here on
Saturday night that it would
take half the soldiers stationed at
Fort Meade to pick them up"
He criticized Mr.. White for not
attending, pointing out that the
legislator lives in Celmar Manor
and Should be vitality interested in
this matter"
Andrew C. Tackett, another MEM
Der of the Colmar Manor Town
Council, said 81 per cent of the ar
rests made in the town last Novem-
Der were for drunkenness, and all
were Washingtonians.
r. w. O'Neill, Colmar Manor,
contended the problem was not
caused principally by liquor viola
tions but involved the inability of
police to control the situation. He
emphasized, however, that he did
not oppose a referendum.
