Bill
Would Give Virginia
Limited Toxing Power
Over Airport

Chairman Randolph of the House
District Committee revealed yester-
day he had amended his bill, fix
ing the Virginia boundary
line at the present highwater mark
on the Virginia shore of the Poto-
mac, to grant Virginia limited tax
ing authority over the Washington
National Airport.
The amendment also assures Vir-
ginia the right to serve processes in
the airport area.
The Randolph bill cedes the air.
port area to Virginia, but since
the airport was developed and is
owned by the United States it
recognizes the Federal character Of
the area and reserves to the United
States concurrent jurisdiction with
Virginia.
The Virginia legislature already
has passed a statute agreeing to
the proposed new boundary line,
but it would have to act on another
provision designating the Eastern
District Courts of Virginia to hear
airport cases and on the new RAN
dolph amendment.
The amendment, which was added
to the bill at the request of the
Air Transport Association repre-
senting 81 operating airlines, reads,
in part:
There is hereby reserved in the
Commonwealth of Virginia the jur-
isdiction and power to levy tax on
the sale of oil, gasoline and all
other motor fuels and lubricants sold
on the Washington National Air.
port for use in over -the-road ve-
hicles such as trucks, buses and au-
tomobiles, except sales to the United
States for use in the exercise of
essentially governmental functions,
and provided that the Common
wealth of Virginia shall have no
jurisdiction or power to levy a tax
on the sale or use of oil, gasoline
or other motor fuels and lubricants
for other purposes.
There is hereby expressly re-
served in the Commonwealth OF
Virginia the jurisdiction and power
to serve criminal and civil process
on the Washington National Air
port"

Asked if he planned another ex-
ploration trip in the future. Admiral
Byrd smiled and said: Il haven't
thought much about that for the
near future-I'll wait until the war
is over" He is now stationed in
Washington between trips to the
Pacific theater, in connection with
aerial warfare, and recently was
decorated by President Roosevelt
with the Legion of Merit for a Sc
cret war mission in the Pacific.

bus is one of the highest awarded

Staunton Paper Asks
Glass 10 See Citizens,
Discuss Inactivity
BY the Associated Press.

STAUNTON, Va, Feb. 1O-The
Staunton News Leader, which sug-
gested a week ago that Senator
Glass resign because of what it
termed the physical inability of
Virginia's senior Senator to attend
to his duties, has asked RiXey Smith,
the Senator's secretary, to arrange
for a committee of citizens to dis
cuSs the matter with Senator Glass.
The paper said it telegraphed Mr..
Smith to arrange an appointment
for the committee for Friday, or at
another early date convenient to
the Senator. to discuss with him
"the desirability of having another
active Virginia Senator"
MFR. Smith replied, Il have turned
your telegram over to Senator Glass
to whom it should properly have
been addressed. Tonight no word
has been received from the Senator
himself"
In another editorial to be pub
lished tomorrow the News Leader
said there is no claim that Sen
ator Glass has conferences with
other Senators, with members of the
executive branch, or with commit
tees and that obviously he is wholly
dependent upon views of Mr.. Smith
and Mrs. Glass.
Virginia did not elect Rixey
Smith Senator. The people chose
Carter Glass, believing, as they
were repeatedly told, his health
was improving and he would repre-
sent this State; if not with his
famed ability and fire. at least with
judgment. voice, and independent
vote which gained him national
prestige as fearless statesman who
would fight for the peoples inter-
.ests, regardless of political infiu-
Iences."
The editorial said further, "it
is reasonably clear Mr.. Smith and
Mrs. Glass have abrogated author
ity which they have no possible
right to exercise and that the peo-
pile of Virginia are being denied
representation by their duly elected
Senator"
The paper also repeated its re-
quest of a week ago that Mrs. Glass
urge her husband to resign.

Mercury Rises to 63 as Washington Enjoys
Its Wormest February 10th in 20 Years
Overcoots Put Aside
For Brief Period;
Today to Be Cooler

Washington yesterday enjoyed
the warmest February 10 In 20
years, the thermometer rising to SO
degrees at Ais pm, as hundreds
OF persons walked In the warm SUM-
light without overcoats. On the
same date in 1909, the temperature
reached 65 degrees, an all-time
record.
Last night, the Weather Bureau
forecast cloudiness followed by light
rains either during the night or to-
day. It will not be as warm as
yesterday, the bureau said. although
the weather is expected to remain
comfortable.
BY contrast, Weather Bureau rec
ords showed that the December
January period here was the coldest
since 1939-40.
Meanwhile, the Associated Press
reported that the heavy SHOWS and
wintry winds which chilled New
England early last week, resulting
in the death of 81 persons, had
ended. Moderate temperatures were
recorded all over the Nation yes
terday.
Melting snow and ice in western
and upper New York State caused
rivers to rise and led to fear of
floods, the Associated Press said.
However, Chicago weather fore
casters predicted that freezing tenn
peratures due there last night would
curb any flood threat.
The Weather Bureau pointed out
that If you draw a rough line be-
tween Chicago and New York and
then draw lines northward from
both cities, you have a sort OF bucket.
Within that bucket, generally, the
December-January period was the
coldest in Is years-that is, since
l919-l920.
That goes for both Chicago and
New York-also Detroit, Columbus,
Erie, Harrisburg and Scranton. It's
true of Syracuse, Albany and Buf-
falo, and it holds good as far east
as Hartford.
In Philadelphia the December
January period was the coolest
since 19l7-19l8, and the same in
Fort Wayne, Ind, and Toledo
1t was the coolest since 1885 1886
in Baltimore and Pittsburgh. and
in Cincinnati and Indianapolis.
Most OF the Western States have
been having a warmer than usual
winter.

.Standpiipe
Completed
Other Projects
To Improve Water
Supply Under Way

The $4,000 water standpipe built
in Arlington with Federal Works
Agency funds to insure an adequate
water supply for the Harrington
apartment development has been
completed and will be in service
soon, A. T. Lundberg, County water
superintendent announced yesterday
Many darlington residents COM
planned last summer that they could
not get sufficient water, condition
blamed by county officials on made
quate distribution facilities.
The standpipe, besides solving the
darlington water shortage, is part
of a 100000 water system expan-
sion now under way, designed, Mr..
Lundberg said, to remedy critical
situation" by providing suf1icient
water for an adequate supply
throughout Arlington County for the
entire day"
These projects include: A 36-
inch main on North Glebe road
from Chain Bridge to Military road,
costing s106,8l0, now 80 per cent
complete.
A 36-inch main from the Dale
carlia filtration plant to the District
end OF Chain Bridge, $92 $50, on
which work has been started.
Acquisition of land in Douglas
Park in South Arlington, $1,000;
Fort Ethan Allen pump station,
with a 24-inch connection, $4,000,
IS per cent complete: completion of
12-inch main on South Glebe road,
$25,o0o.
These improvements, Mr.. Lund-
berg said, will enable the Water
Department to derive full benefit
from 5000. .000-gallon reservoir,
two miles of 24-inch, four miles of
20-inch and two miles of 12-inch
distribution mains, built by the
Federal Works Agency in 1912 and
f943.
The present program was pro-
posed by FWA in 1941, but later was
shelved because of the amount of
critical material involved, he said.
The county's subsequent popula-
ton increase, however, made pro-
vision for the additional supply
mains imperative, he said.
