a volume almost as great as New

Capital has become focal point
of world air commerce.
The Andrews base. with run.
ways more than a mile long, il
situated about nine miles east o1
the District on a modern highway
.leveled for separated traffic lanes
in either direction. Paving of tht
second lane, it was said, would &C.
commodate at least as much trafit
as that now handled on ap.
proaches to National Airport.
A survey of motor traffic by thu
CAA, it was said. reveals that i
would take four times as long tt
reach Baltimore's new airport a!
to drive to National Airport. TIT
'CAA committee reported that NJ
competing carrier would consent
to land passengers at Friendship
en- route for Washington if riva
air lines could deliver them in the
metropolitan area. =
Earlier Move Recalled.
The committee, headed by Rob.
ert P. Boyle of the CAA. said IT.
members are more convinced thar
ever that some decision must b
taken. A previous report along thu
same lines was submitted about
two years ago.
Since that time, it was said, two
possible sites in the Washington
area have been developed as resi-
dental subdivisions, rapidly in
creasing the cost Of Government
acquisition. The cost will continue
to mount unless some action IL
taken in the next few months, II
was reported.
The purchase Of land must pre-
cede by many months the begin
ming of construction. This point
was demonstrated when the move
ment got under way before World
War II to build another airport as
a replacement for the old landing
field on the Virginia end Of High
way Bridge. One Of the main
runways on this field was crossed
by q highway. /.
The acquisition by the Govern
ment Of land for q new airport re-
suited in a controversy between
spectators in Maryland, and Vir-
ginia and members Of Congress
The dispute dragged on for years
Roosevelt Dreamed Of Collision.
In June of 1896, President
Roosevelt. who was the first in his
Office to travel by airplane. called
interested members of Congress
into conference and explained
that he wanted something done
about a new airport for Washing
ton.
He added he had been disturbed
by a nightmare in which he saw
a disastrous collision at the Wash
ington airport.
While traffic congestion could
not be blamed directly for the
November crash at National Air
port, which took SIS lives, testi-
mony at a hearing later devel-
oped that the airport was being
used as a base for test flights OF
fighter-type aircraft. The CAA
then issued an order closing the
airport to combat planes with
faster landing speeds than con-
ventionaI passenger carriers, The
disaster occurred when twin-en-
gine P-38 fighter being tested by
q Bolivian pilot chopped down an
airliner on it's routine approach.

from Mr.. Hopkins-he called him

every time they needed emergency
help'-telling him to expedite the
shipments, to disregard the mani
tests and not to report anything
he saw to his superiors.
He said, however. that he did
make reports to the air inspector
general.
Can't Recall Incident.
Mai. Gen. Junius w. Jones, the
air inspector general during the
war, told the Associated Press yes
terday, Il don't know a thing
about it, He said also:
Il do not recall the officer in
question. have no knowledge
of the incident or anything like
it"
He is now commandant of the
air materiel area at Mcclellan
Field. near Sacramento. Calf.
Robert E. Sherwood. who ex-
amined Mr.. Hopkins papers after
his death and wrote the Pulitzer
prizewinning book, Roosevelt and
Hopkins, called the charges in
credible"
Mr.. Jordan said the documents
the homeward bound Russians
carried in their baggage included
some mentioning energy pro-
duced ,by f1ssion.". "neutrons and
protons,' and other terms of nu-
clear fission, the significance Of
which he did not realize at the
time.
White House Stationery.
He said he. also noticed a letter
on White House stationery with
the name of Harry Hopkins in
the upper lefthand corner. On
it was a message which he said
contained the phrase, had a hell
of a time getting this from

Mr.. Sherwood said he never saw
among Mr.. Hopkins papers any
White House stationery bearing
Mr.. Hopkins name'as Mr.. Jordon
had described.
1t. Gen. Leslie R. Groves. who
was in charge Of the Manhattan
District project, said at his home
at Darien. Conn, that he could
not see how the charges could be
ignored by Congress. He refused
to speculate whether there would
be an Investigation.
Another, in addition to Mr..
Sherwood. who said he did not
believe the story Mr.. Jordan told.
was Stephen T. Early, now Deputy
Secretary of Defense. He was
press secretary to President
Roosevelt at the time covered by
Mr.. Jordan's story and was con-
fldant of the President as was Mr..
Hopkins. He called the story
utterly unbelievable"
Mr.. Jordan said that in addition
to the documents there were ship
ments of uranium, the raw mate
rial for making atomic bombs. He
said he checked through ship
ments ranging from 500 to 1,500
pounds, and also carboys of
heavy" water, which Is used in

ALFl e.,
BY Ted Resting

Fly casting is easier to learn than
plug casting, insists Jason Lucas
and the man should know, since
he's one of the country's best known
angling authorities. That IS, its
easier if you get good equipment.
The good enough to learn with"
won't work in casting a fly. Even
an expert can't do anything re-
sembling good fly casting with a
poor rod, so why should a begin
ner think he can learn properly
on one?
Get a rod that is at least reason
ably good. See that it has true
"dry-fly action"-quite stiff IN the
lower parts with action mainly to-
ward the front. This is much the
best for wet-fly too.
And remember this: you don't
and can't cast the fly; it's far TOO
light to 60 anywhere. In, fact, the
farther and more easily you can
cast. You cast the line, so 1t must
have weight enough to carry ITSELF
out. Always dress your line with
a good flotant, even for wet-tly
fishing, or you can't pick it up
Clearly from the water-and an
awkward pickup of long drowned
line can easily break a good rod.
A level line will do at first, but
a double taper is better-a three
diameter is best. With either of
these last, cut off the level front
TO about three feet. And begin
with a tapered leader of six feet.
The best way to learn fly casting,
when no coach is available, is for
two beginners to practice together,
one to observe while the other casts.
The chief faults to watch for are
these: starting the upswing too
high; bringing the rod tip too far
back; and poor timing on the back
cast. In the last, whiplike crack
means the timing is too fast; line
falling or going dead means the
timing is too slow
Before starting your cast, get
about 20 feet of line out-any way
Hold the rod level or parallel with
the water, thumb extended on the
TOP of the grip. Pull the line IN
with YOUR left hand to straighten
it. raising the rod no higher than
so degrees from its horizontal posi-
ton.
Then without pausing and with
speed, sweep the rod up

Pacific Northwest veterans are

Many veterans, the VA points

treatment
Formal applications for out-pa-
tent care at VA expense may be
obtained at any VA office. Each
application should include the vet

the disability for which treatment
is needed
In cases of emergency treatment,
authorization is not required, but
the treatment must be reported to
the VA within Is days by the ply
