KANSAS CITY IS SET WITH 2ND
 MAJOR AIRPORT
BY SAM SMITH United Press staff Correspondent

united fresS StAU COrrespOnuent
 Kansas City, Mo, Mar. s., CUp)-- Kansas City has unveiled a second major airport for auxiliary com mercial use, becoming the only city in the nation with such facilities for postwar aviation development, according to the city fathers
 The Orandview airport, % miles south of the city on federal htgh- way, recently was turned back to the city by the army, which had used the port for nine months in training flights from the Sedalla, Mo, army air base.
 Kansas City's main airport, the Municipal terminal, is only five min- utes from the downtown district. It is located in the bend of the Missouri river and recent meet ing with army engineers produced agreement on the postwar movement of levee 600 feet in order to lengthen the ea5t-wcst runway,
 Mayors Idea
 The auxiliary airport is the brain- child of Mayor John B. Gage. Short ly after he took office as the city's cleanup mayor in l94l, he called a meeting of aviation leaders to consider building a second airport. The department of public works was instructed to prepare plans.
 The Grandview site. on high stretch of land, was puchaSed for a total of $i78, GAO. The port eil1- braces about 962 acres.
 Works Progress Administration approved the project in February, i942, and work was started under the direction of Reed Mckinley, city engineer. The port was com- pleted June 26, i944, and the army began using it.
 Two 5.5O0.Ft. Runways
 The Grandview port, which al- ready has been used by commercial planes as an auxiliary base, has two concrete lanes, $500 feet long, ard one which is 4,000 feet long. The longer runways can be ex tended to 7,500 feet.
 officials of Transcontinental & Western Air, Inc, have obtained permission to use the Gandview port as all auxiliary field when low hanging fog and poor visibility from river conditions limit use of the Municipal Terminal.
 l.. Welch Pogue, chairman of the Civil Aeronautics Board, here on an inspection trip recently, praised city officials for their far-sighted- ness in building the auxiliary field,
