port the legislation to adjust the
amount under the fixed formula. -
The Navada Senator declared re-
Gently he would propose a $4,000, 900
increase in the Federal payment. He
quickly agreed to the higher sum
on the basis of the needs outlined
in. the O'Mahoney hearings.
Chairman OMahoney declared
yesterday it was perfectly obvious
the District could not meet it's in
creasing needs under present rev.
enues, without an increase in the
Federal payment. The $4,000 600
increase in the lump sum, he said
was being recommended for inclu-
sion in the supply bill for the fiscal
year beginning July l, because time
would be needed for consideration
and action on the proposed SUBJ
stantive legislation.
Uses Tax-Exempt Ratio.
The formula is embodied in a bill
drafted last year by three expert
consultants of the O'Mahoney SUBJ
committee. John F. Feeney. Harold
E. Merrick and Thomas J. Scott
1t is based on the ratio of Federal
owned tax-exempt lands in the Dis
trict to the total District land area
with some exemptions.
This was calculated last year al
1856 per cent and the formula
would call for Federal payment
of $11, 10000 if the percentage were
applied to this years total District
revenues.
The Coffee Subcommittee of the
House, in charge of District appro-
priations, recently declared the
present s6,000,O00 payment, amount
ing to only about 9 per cent of Dis
trict costs, to be but a fraction OF
the value of services contributed by
the District to the Federal Govern
ment.
S9,000,000 Cut.
To stave off a revenue crisis dur
ing or after the new fiscal year, the
House sliced nearly $4,000, 900 from
the s8l sos 900 budget submitted by
the President and the Commission
ers.

Federal Airport Bill
A||ocates $901,110
For Use in District

The District would receive 1901 ,1lC
in Federal funds for airport con-
struction over a seven-year period
ending in 1858, under the terms OF
Federal-aid airport legislation which
went to the White House for the
Residents signature today
Under the bill, approved yester-
day by the House and Senate in
conference, Maryland will be al
located $3,099, $50 and Virginia
$6046, 800.
Provision for the District to take
part in the Federal-aid program to-
day raised the hopes of flying en-
thusiasts bent on seeing Washington
provided with first class landing
fields for private as well as CONNER
.cial planes.
$40 Millions Authorised.
Total amount authorized by the
bill is $500, 900 900, of which $500 900,
600 must be spent in the continental
United States. s10,000,000 of which
must be spent in Alaska and the
other $10,000,000 spent in other
United States territories.
OF the $500,0OO,0O0 5 per cent
is to be deducted to administer the
seven-year Federal aid program and
Is per cent is to be held as dis
cretionary fund to meet emergen-
cies and special situations. The
remaining S356,250,OO0 is divided
among the States and the District
on population-ar basis, so per
cent credit for population and SO
per cent for area.
Under this formula the District
would be entitled to S897,044 for
population and another s4,066 for
area.
The Districts share. however,
must be spent within the District.
S100,0O0,000 Yearly Limit.
Appropriations under the bill are
limited to not more than $100, 900 900
in any one year.
A proposal for a landing field
inside the District for private planes
has been made by the Aero Club
of Washington. This group wants
5000 -50O-foot strip installed
along the right bank of the Ana
costa River below Benning road.
The plan has been rejected by the
National Capital Planning Com
mission.
Club members said today. how
ever, they are going to submit the
plan to the Civil Aeronautics Ad-
ministration to see If it passes CAA
requirements on safety and engi-
neering.
$4,000 Private Planes Forecast.
The CAA estimates that by l947-
48 there will be $4,000 private planes
in the country and that by 1856
there will be 100000, or about one
to every 300 persons.
At this rate the District should
be able to boast between 1000 and
5000 planes by that time. Since
it requires one field to take care
Of every 100 planes. CAA officials
said today. there would be a need
for about 20 airfields for private
planes owned by District residents.
The National Capital Park and
Planning Commission, which looks
with disfavor on plans for landing
fields along the Anacostia has been
studying the problem of future fields
around Washington for some time.
1t is believed the commissions plans
involve fields located in Maryland
and Virginia. Under the Federal
aid bill there would have to be
financed by Maryland and Virginia
aid funds.
The Senate version of the airport
bill ignored the District on funds.
The House, after fight led by Rep
resentative Randolph, Democrat of
West Virginia. allowed the District
to participate. The Senate accepted
the change when the bill reached
conference.
