Two Airport Sites
Planned for Postwar
In Montgomery Area
By MRS. J. REED BRADLEY.

TO provide adequate air facilities
for Montgomery County in the post
war period, the Maryland Park and
Planning Commission will recon-
mend to the Board of County Com
missioners the early purchase of two
airport sites in the county; one in
the eastern suburban area and the
other in the Western suburban area,
both to be rented to private in
dividuals for development as public
landing fields.
This information was given to the
Board of Directors of the Bethesda
Chamber of Commerce at d meeting
in the Bethesda County Building
last night by 1t. Col. E. Brooke Lee,
park commissioner, in response to
the chambers request for a state
ment of the commissions plans for
aviation facilities.
Three sites are under considera-
ton in the western suburban area
the present Congressional airport, a
large vacant field Immediately north
of the Floyd Davis estate on
Georgetown road, and the Bradley
Hills Country Club. The least de-
sirable of these sites Is the Bradley
Hills location, Col. Lee said.
Holding Hearing Today.
The State Aviation Commission is
holding a hearing in the Bethesda
County Building this afternoon on
the application of the National Air
ways Corp. for an air park license
at the latter location.
The proposed eastern suburban
area site is between the Naval
Ordnance Laboratory and Fairland
Col. Lee said.
The commission will recommend
that the airport sites be purchased
from a part of the proceeds of the
recently authorized $4,000 bond
issue. 1T is reasonable to expect
that the Federal Government would
match any funds the county might
put up for aviation facilities" Col
Lee said.
Also a guest at the directors
meeting was John Price Hoberman,
president of National Anyways Corp,
who said his company was inter-
ested in developing at the Bradley
Hills location a high-class country
club with flying facilities open only
to club members. He said his COM
pany had paid $3.50, 900 for the prop
erty and would invest at least $780,
900 more in its development.
Noise Nuisance Denied.
Harry Smith, veteran pilot and
vice president of Pennsylvania Gen.
trail Airlines, said he had lived for
two years in a real estate develop
ment Immediately adjacent to a
large airport in Cleveland and that
he and his family had not found
the location undesirable. He made
this statement in reply to Col Lees
declaration that an air park in the
Bradley Hills section would consti-
tute a noise nuisance in a high
class residential area.
The chamber took no action in
the matter other than to support
the principle Of adequate public air
facilities for the county.
The chambers monthly dinner
meeting will be held Monday at the
Bethesda Woman's Club, at which
time the group will hold a bond
rally to raise its quota of $10O, 900
in War Bonds.

UNIV Journal Lauds
Secretary Perkins
As Best Of the Lot'

John L. Lewis United Mine Work.
ers Journal today called Secretary of
Labor Perkins 'the best of the lot"
of Labor Department heads since
creation of that agency, in COM
mentlng on her imminent de-
parture from the cabinet.
The Journal used the occasion to
once more blast the CIO and AFL,,
as it editorially "chuckled" at the
big labor organizations being 'eleft
high and dry" by President Truman
IN selecting Judge Lewis B. Schwel-
!enbach to succeed Miss Perkins.
CIO Keeps Silent.
The CIO, meanwhile, still with
held comment on the appointment
OF Judge Schwellenbach. A spokes-
man said he saw no reason for COM
ment, since the organization saw no
reason to laud or criticize his selec-
tion.
The UNIV Journal said the Labor
Department will be the most i'm
portant post of Government, requir-
Ing intelligent direction and under
standing OF our industrial problems
and labor conditions, beyond any
other Government assignment"
This may explain" it continued,
why President Truman, who now is
being referred to as a Main Street
President left the CIO and AFL
high and dry when he appointed
Lewis Baxter Schwellenbach Secre-
tary of Labor.
Big Labor Derided. -
1T is rather a sad commentary
that the forces led by Bill Green,
Dan Tobin, Phil Murray, ct al-the
claimants for credit for running the
country and electing its President
and successors-after IL years of
faithful devotion to the party line,
and after the expenditure of hun
dreds of thousands of dollars and
the imposition of almost forceful
voting upon their membership, could
not register a win"
The editorial praised the late
President Roosevelt for selecting
Miss Perkins as Secretary in 1882
over Mr.. Tobin, who was Jim Far
ley's labor skate assistant. ="
Miss Perkins inherited a mess"
the Journal commented, adding,
I'VE again say, despite all the criti-
cism that has been hurled against
her, she has performed her work
within the confines of the limitat-
tions imposed upon her mighty well.
