House Nearing Vote
On 12-Mi|Iion AirfieId
For Naval Academy

The $4,000, 900 airfield project for
the Naval Academy at Annapolis,
part of a 5000, 100000 Navy public
works bill, neared a House vote to-
day. More than an hour of debate
on the bill late yesterday centered
wholly on the proposed airport the
Navy hopes to build on 2,400 acres
at Sandy Point, about 5 miles north
east of the Academy.
The principal attack came from
representative Fallon, Democrat, of
Maryland, who declared Maryland
people have reason to protest against
such a big expenditure and to the
Government taking acre after acre
of their State"
He did not object to an air in
doctrination program for the Acad-
emy, but said he believed it could
be given just as effectively and less
expensively at existing airfelds, such
as Andrews field, within 45-mile
radius of Annapolis.
Sees Propaganda Drive.
Representative Sasscer, Democrat,
of Maryland asserted that main op-
position to the Sandy Point site re-
suited from IAN extremely active
propaganda campaign financed by
summer residents at Gibson Island,
most of them from Baltimore"
A comparatively small number of
people would be "dislocated" if the
airf1eld were built at Sandy Point,
but more than 10000 would be af-
fected if the field were located at a
site of a small commercial airport
on the other side of Annapolis, he
said.
The latter site has been urged by
the Magothy River Association,
composed, he said, chiefly of sum-
mer residents in the Gibson Island
colony. Mr.. Sasscer said develop
ment of that site would cost SIS
600, 900, as compared with $4,000, 900
for Sandy Point.
Representative Bates, Republican,
of Massachusetts,, sponsor of the
Navy construction bill, told the
House that Andrews Field is too
far from Annapolis and too crowded
to provide effective training facil-
tiles for academy midshipmen.
Confident of Passage.
Representative Fallon interrupted
to ask why the midshipmen could
not travel a few miles for that pur-
pose when West Point cadets have
to 60 all the way to Virginia for
their fight indoctrination.
About As minutes of debate time
remained when the House adjourned
Yesterday. There was some doubt
that the bill could be taken up early
this afternoon but sponsors were
confident it would finally pass with
the airfleld provision unchanged.

Arlington Federation
Asks Vote on Proposed
Washington Memorial

Funds to acquire land for the
George Washington Memorial park
way would be included in a com
prehensive capital improvement
bond issue program" proposed last
night by the Arlington Civic Fed
Grafton.
The federation, holding its last
meeting until September, adopted a
proposal Of its Revenues and Ex-
penditures Committee which urged
the county board ito develop and
present to the people" the program
for consideration in the November
election.
The memorial parkway was the
only item Of improvement specific
ally mentioned in the resolution.
U. S., State Funds Available.
The Federal Government has
made available its share OF funds
for land acquisition for unit 4 Of the
parkway up the Potomac River from
Spout Run to the Fairfax line, and
legislation making possible a con-
tribution by the State was passed
at the last session of the General
Assembly. The county government,
however, has taken no action re-
garding its share.
The Federation also adopted a
resolution calling on the county
board to establish a business and
professional license tax and to ap-
propriate $125,00O of the receipts of
such tax for the school board. The
county recently refused to appro-
priate in full the budget requested
by the school board.
A third resolution, also offered by
the Revenues and Expenditures
Committee, was adopted by the
Federation. 1t deplored the county
boards action in departing from
established custom" in giving the
school board lump sum appropri-
alton rather than a percentage Of
tax revenue. The resolution further
urged, the county board to establish
the previous practice as policy.
Several Amendments Asked.

plan on which the County Board
will hold public hearing tonight
and tomorrow night was discussed
before the federation by Earl O.
Mills, planning consultant; A. T..
