That estimate, it was said. re-
ferred to the airport itself and did
not include the cost of Office
buildings and hotel which might
be erected. as a part of the project.
Senator johnson introduced the

new airport should be one of the
finest in the world and that 1t
should be located away from the
Potomac River and near a four-
lane highway.

Washington had proof today
that spring is still good distance
away.
A frigid "a showed up on the
Weather Bureaus airport ther-

What's more. another dip to-

Churchill Says Labor
Is Campaigning With
Smokescreen Of Lies
Attlee Claims Porty Has
Given Country Lead in
European Recovery
By the Assoeioied Press

LONDON, Feb. 8. - Laborite
Prime Minister Attlee and Con-
servative Chief Winston Churchill
put the campaign for the Feb
ruary % election into high gear
today, taking the stump to trade
heavy blows.
Mr.. Attlee, sounding the cry of
"fair shares" credited his party
with achieving for Britain great
er progress to recovery than any
other war; stricken nation. Mr..
Churchill thundered that the La
bor Party was marching into the
campaign behind a smoke-screen
of lies.
Mr.. Attlee, with his wife at the
wheel of a modest automobile, be-
gan a 1,000-mile tour of Britain
to bring his case to the voters.
He made his first speech of the
tour before 1000 persons in the
town hall of industrial Watford,
on the fringe of London's suburbs.
He then spoke at Wolverton.
Mr.. Churchill began a swing
around the kingdom with a speech
at Cardiff, Wales, once a strong
hold of the Liberal Party but TAX
en- by Labor in 1945. The Con-
servatilve leader then was to 60
on to Taunton, to speak in sup
port of the Conservative candidate
for the House of Commons.
Mr.. Attlee's defense of his Labor
regime, in power since 1945, was
a folksy, man-to-man approach
which reminded listeners of Pres
ident Truman's 1948 campaign.
Mr.. Churchill, on the other
hand, made ripping, tearing at
tack on the Labor Party's political
morals and its theory of govern
ment.
Charges Labor Apes Nazis, Reds.
In slashing, gloves-of speech,
Mr.. Churchill denounced the La
borites as aping Nazis and Com
munists and proceeding on the
theory that 'if an untruth is told
often enough and widely enough
1t becomes as good as the truth"
He accused the Laborites OF. try
ing to create a false impression
that the Conservative Party be-
lieves empty bellies are the one
thing that will make Britons
work"
The 75-year-old wartime British
leader accused the Laborites Of

troops to shoot striking Welsh

Road 10 Peace
Says West Must Build
Strength to Achieve
Agreement With Reds
By Gornett D. Homer

Secretary of State Acheson said
today that the only way to achieve
world peace is to build up West
ern strength to extend the area
within which agreements with
Russia might be possible.
He told news conference that
it does not seem possible to reach
the American peace goals by
merely seeking agreements with
the Russians, who recognize only
strength.
His remarks were taken to rule
out any dramatic new gestures
toward Moscow as suggested in
recent speeches by Senators Tyd-
ings. Democrat, of Maryland and
Mcmahon, Democrat, of Connec-
ticut, calling for new peace often
siveS.
Mr.. Acheson said experience
since the war has shown that
agreements with the Soviet gov
ernment are useful only when
they register an existing situa-
ton.
Road to Peace Long.
This Governments policy, he
declared, is to try to extend the
area of possible agreement with
the Russians "by creating situa-
tions so strong that they can be
recognized" by the realistic Soviet
leaders.
He said this road to peace is
hard and long and takes very
steady nerves"
Mr.. Acheson said at the outset
of his weekly news conference
that he wanted to discuss infor-
mally some thoughts that had
come to him as the result of what
he called the very arresting" Nc
Mahon and Tydings speeches in
the Senate during the last week.
Senator Mcmahon proposed
that the United States offer the
world $4,000, ,oO0,0 900 in economic
aid in the next five years in re-
turn for effective international
control Of atomic energy and a
two-thirds arms reduction by all
countries. Senator Tydings called
for a conference to work out
world disarmament down to
rifles"
Calls Attention to Talks.
Mr.. Acheson did not discuss the
detailed proposals, but said he
wanted to draw attention to the
Senate speeches as reflecting the
basic urge of the American people
and the basis of the objective of
American foreign policy--the pur-
suit of peace.
The Tydings and Mcmahon
speeches, he went on, represent
the goal for which we are striv-
ing" and IDEAL with the end more
than the means to the end"
The Secretary said that if the
goal could be reached by agree
.ment, of course that would be the
best way to do it.
But the experience of the last
four years has brought the realiza-
ton that "this is not possible" he
emphasized.
Mr.. Acheson pointed out that
Russia and her satellites voted
against a United Nations General
Assembly resolution which listed
conventional disarmament and in
ternational control of atomic en-
ergy as two of the things necessary
to achieving real peace.
Russia Highly Realistic"
In seeking that goal, he said, 1t
is first necessary to understand
the nature of the Russian govern
ment with which we have to deal
and the nature of the world since
World War II.
He said the outstanding char
acteristic of the Soviet govern
