Navy Seeks More Land
BY the Associated Press

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Feb. 21.-The
Anne Arundel County Antiairport
Association yesterday charged the
Navy has secret plans eventu-
ally to absorb not only Gibson Is
land, but much of the county's Sd
district"
The projected indoctrination air.
field at Sandy Point, which the as
sociation opposes, "is only the be-
ginning of a new invasion of the re-
manning privately owner property in
Anne Arundel County" the associa-
ton asserted in statement.
Capt. Robert Pirie, head of the
department of aviation at the Naval
Academy, has asserted the academy
has no intention of using Gibson Is
land as part of its plans for develop
ing air facilities, but the Navy may
plan. to use the island for other de-
velopments, the statement said.
by acquiring an airf1eld the
Naval Academy can so depreciate
surrounding property values that the
cost of later expansion purchases will
be greatly reduced at the expense
of the people of Maryland"
The statement asked: DO any
plans exist on the part of any de-
partment of the United States Navy
for further expansion in Anne Arun-
del County if Congress appropriates
the S12,000,000 now requested for
Sandy Point indoctrination airfield?"

in holding office. She pointed out
that in spite of the American wom-
ans reputation for having so much
more than women Of other nations,
there are fewer women in the Amer

women in Parliament, French worn-
en- in the Chamber of Deputies or

Of our basic freedoms. There has
been a false idea predominating
for some time that liberty means
freedom for me but no one else.
We all have our prejudices but that
should not prevent our hearing
what the other fellow has to say.
AS Voltaire once said, I disagree in
every way with what you say but
I will fight to the death to give
you the right to say it,"
The New York Representative COM
mented on the fairness" of Presi-
dent Truman in his address to Con-
gress declaring that 1--WE are going
to cooperate with the President in
every way possible"
She also voiced the hope that
legislation soon may be passed
limiting the President of the United
States to serve two terms only.
She added that if such legisla-
ton is not passed, the holding Of
the highest Office for more than two
terms may happen over and over
again"
Abuses are bound to enter into
government when one party holds
the reins of government too long,
she asserted.

Court" she said. 1T is supposed tt
be above and beyond politics. You
know it's not today. That is also
