BALTIMORE, Dec. 31.-Mayor

for the Friendship International
Airport to represent the entire
Washington Baltimore area to the
White House.
In a telegram to President Tru-
man yesterday, Mayor d'Alesandro
argued against a Civil Areonautics
Administrator stand that Friend
ship Airport would be considered
only as a temporary solution to
more airport space for Washington
because Of its distance from the
Nations capital.
"The building of an additional
Federal airport in Virginia would
at best only duplicate this facility
Friendship at an estimated cost
Of approximately $20,000,0o0," Mr..
d'Alesandro's wire read.

"The proposed Virginia airport

ing economically for years to
come"
The Mayor also asked Gov.
