The Senate bill was approved and

Would Disrupt Program.
Brushing aside arguments that
the Navy could use existing facil-
tiles to give primary flying training
to midshipmen, Capt. Pirie pointed
out that Pensacola, for example, Is
set up for care for O. certain number
of students.
If we took class of 900 midship-
men there" he said, 1T would dis
rupt the entire program now being
carried on"
The Patuxent River Naval Air
Center at Cedar Point, he said, is in
tended only for test work. Facilities
for flight training simply are not
available there, he added.
As for using Kent Island, Capt.
Pirie said it was found the land is
too low and would have to be filled
in at too great a cost.
Besides" he pointed out, "Kent
Island is too far from the academy,
even if a bridge was built across
Chesapeake Bay. The transfer OF
midshipmen to and from a field on
Kent Island each day would disrupt
the entire academy schedule"
He said the site on Sandy Point
is only about a 15-minute ride from
the academy.
Three Runways Planned.
Present plans, he said, are to build
three 6,000-feet runwayS.
Dismissing claims that planes
would land and take-of at roof-top
level, thus destroying property
Values, Capt. Pirie said the planes
would be manned by experienced
pilots who would be instructed to
fly as high as possible.
Il think the people on Sandy
Point and Gibson Island are ex-
aggerating the possible nuisance in

He emphasized that midshipmen
would take control of the planes
only when the craft are over the
bay.

Railway Travel on Credit
Inauqurafed by {. & 0.
By"i Assoeiofsd Press

CLEVELAND, Jan. 27. Armed
with a Chesapeake & Ohio credit
card, a traveller can travel over all
the countrys railroads and charge
it" until the end of the month,
under a new service with the c. g. O.
inaugurated today.
Robert r. Young, the Chesapeake
chairman, calls the idea "charge-it-
as-you-go." It is an extension OF
the "pay-as-you-go" plan he already
had pioneered, along with through
train service from coast to coast.
Under the "pay-as-you-go plan
a customer could telephone for day
coach reservation and pay for his
seat after ne had boarded the train.
Under the new charge it" plan the
traveller could telephone for either
a day coach or Pullman reservation
and have the railroad put the
charges on his bill at the end OF
the month.
AS long as trip originates on the
c. & O., traveller may charge the
whole fare, even though the latter
part of the trip is on another line.
Credit card No. was issued in
New York to Attorney General
Clark. The next two went to Gov.

Ground Breaking Rite
For New s.. PauI's
Held on K Street

Ground-breaking ceremonies for
the new st. Paul's Episcopal Church
were held yesterday by the congre-
CATION at the site on K street, be-
tween Twenty-fourth and Twenty
fifth streets NV.
The Rev. Arlington A. McCallun,
rector, turned the first spadeful
of ground as the initial act In con-
struction Of the $4,000 edifice. He
said it was hoped that the st-uc-
ture would be completed within .
year.
Fifteen children, and 4 years
old. participated in the ceremonies
with toy shovels.
The service was conducted by Mr..
McCallum, with william Curtis
Cooper directing the acolytes. The
choir Of men and boys was led by
Samuel A. Leech.
The old church at Twenty third
street, near washington Circle,
was torn down In January, 1945, to
make way for the new George
washington f1OSpltal, now pcauE
built. 1t was condemned by the
Government, under provisions Of
the War Powers Act. for this pur-
pose.
Plans for the new edifice were
drawn by Architect Philip H. Froh-
man. William E. Mooney is gen.
eral contractor for the new build
ing.
st. Paul's was started on October
%, 1866, by the Rev. Augustus Jack
son, graduate Of Berkeley Divinity
School Of Middletown, Conn. The
cornerstone for the old church was
laid November 8, 1857, and the
structure was completed in 1858 at
a cost of $4,000.

was up to the Navy to determine.
He estimated, however, that the
overall cost would be about $30,000,-
900.

We don't. have any place now where
we can give primary training in

Join Mogothy River
Group in Opposing
Navy Academy PIon'
By ]. B. Zatman

A score Of Washingtonians with
homes on Gibson Island have united
to fight renewed efforts to build an
airfieid for Naval Academy midship-
men on Sandy Point.
They have Joined the 100 other
residents Of the island and the ap-
proximately 5000 persons living in
the Sandy Point Magothy River
yachting area to present solid wall
Of opposition to the project.
Still AZ determined as they were
when the Navy first put forward its
plan 1--WE years ago, the opponents
have formed the Magothy River AS
sociation to stop this thing. once
and for all" II necessary, they con-
template court action.
A bill to appropriate $l2 2.000, 900
as the first step in constructing the
2, ,4O0-acre airfield is pending before
the Senate and House Armed Forces
Committees. Hearings are expected
to be held soon.
The Navy desires q 1ield In close
proximity to the academy to provide
basic air training for midshipmen
without disrupting the academic
schedule. The naval air arm has
become such an important factor in
sea warfare the Navy feels 1t should
have the same air training facilities
as West Point. The military
academy has an airfeld close to its
school plant. H.. T..
Called Waste Of Money.
Opposition to the plan centers on
the contention that it would be q
waste of the taxpayers money"
L. Corrin Strong, 2712 Thirty
second street NV, predicted the
cost of the proposed airneld when
completed would be close to $50, ,000,-
900 and claimed there are other sites
which are "just as good"
He also expressed the fear the
Navy eventually would take over
Gibson Island and close the
Magothy River, throwing hundreds
of oystermen out Of work.
"The Navy could use Kent Island
of the Eastern Shore across Chesa-
peake Bay" Mr.. Strong said. There
also is an unused airport in Anna

ties at Pensacola, Fla. and Cedar

Take Ny Word for 1t
BY rank Colby
A LITTLE LESSON IN
CAREFUL SPEECH.

Today's article is intended especi-
ally for public speakers, such as
bl oadcasters, ministers, lawyers, lee
turers, actors and teachers and stu
dents of speech. Its purpose Is to
recommend care in pronouncing
words which end in % and -ow, such
as tobacco, tomorrow.
Many of us obscure the % or low.
as "tuk- -BAK-uh, tuh-MOR-uh,"
and it isn't a very serious fault
in informal or careless speech. But
in all forms of public speaking the
observation of the final syllable
should be avoided-the % and low
should be given the full, rounded
sound of "oh."
have never been able to explain
satisfactorily why 1t is that we al
ways say "oh" at the end of some
words, and ''uh" at the end OF others.
For example, these are invariably
"oh" words: Banjo, buffalo, bunga-
low, calico, cameo. cargo, ditto, DOM
ino, fiamingo, hello, indigo, jello,
lotto, motto, presto. These are usu-
ally "uh" words: Arrow, borrow,
fellow, minnow, pillow, potato, tor
pedo, tomato, widow. willow, win
dow, yellow. In careful speech the
words should end in "oh."
Now let me explain what 7 mean
by careful speech"
There are two kinds of correct
speech. The first is usually called
"co1loquial," which is another way of
saying conversational" 1t is not
slovenly speech. although 1t does
permit pronunciations and express
sions, yes, and even a moderate
amount of slang, that should be
avoided in formal usage. In short,
coIloquial or conversational speech
is intimate, unpretentious and COM
fortable-it wears sports clothes
Careful speech is also called for
NAL or serious speech. 1t Is appro-
pirate to the pulpit, to the platform,
to the classroom, to any thoughtful
radio discussion. 1t Is speech that
wears its Sunday best
Now this does not imply that the
first is any less correct than the
second. Either Is correct when 1t is
appropriate to the occasion.
There is this caution, however:
Colloquial speech should not be so
informal as to approach the careless
or slovenly. Likewise, formal speech
should not be swollen, pedantic, or
snobbish. The first extreme Is soiled
overalls, the second is q stuffed
shirt.
