2 New Radio Mosts
Raised on Armory
For Civil Defense

The nerve center of Washing.
toms civil defense communica-
lions system was a step closer to
completion today as workmen pre-
pared to raise two 100-foot steel
radio aerials at the National
Guard Armory.
Originally scheduled to start at
8 am, work was delayed by heavy
rain until later today.
The Armory basement is being
equipped as the city command
center from which orders will go
Iout to civil defense workers and
the public in case of an enemy
attack on the city. If telephone
lines are knocked out, radio will
be the chief means of commune
cation.
Federal civil defense experts
have questioned the selection of
the Armory as command center.
They say it is too close to the ex-
|pecJed target areas in the city to
be secure, and have advocated
some location in the Northeast
section. District officials, however.
indicate that the location of the
center will not be changed. Con-
siderable money has already been
spent to equip the command GEN.
ter there.
The radio towers to be raised
today also will serve to sound the
city's air raid warning system.
"a total of "a ampliflers, capable of
transmitting voice instructions as
well as warning signals, are be.
ling installed throughout the city.
It Is expected that all the amp
llifiers will be in place and ready
for testing soon after Lad pr Day.

1000 Small Boss
Dumped in Pools
On G.. & O. Canal

Park officials today dedicated a
? section of the Chesapeake and
Ohio Canal to good fishing" as
they dumped 5000 small bass into
quiet pools a mile above Chain
Bridge.
Supt. Edward j. Kelly of Ma
tional Capital Parks obtained the
fish from the United States Fish
Culture Station at Kearneyville,
W. Va. Officials of the Fish and
Wild Life Service of the Interior
Department happily co-operated.
These bass are only about 2
inches long now" said Park Ma
turalist Drew Chick. "but give
them couple of years and they'll
be fit to grace presidential
breakfast plate" They are of the
large mouth variety.
The bass multiply fast though
the mud turtles in the canal no
doubt will do their best to deplete
the number. The water above
Lock 6. which will be their future
home, are quiet and better suited
than the water below the lock
where movement is sometimes
rather swift. Anyway, park of
ficials think 1t will become a fish,
Sman's paradise in time.

Taft Sees Move
ToAyoidE|ection
Year Tax Boost
Suspects Truman
Seeks Rise Now to
Avert Issue in 81

Senator Taft, Republican. OF
Ohio, said today he has a "suspi-
cion" the administration is ask
ing the Senate for a bigger tax
bill now to avoid another increase
next year on the eve of a Presi-
Dental election.
He was commenting on the plea
of Treasury Secretary Snyder be-
fore the Senate Finance Commit
zee yesterday for President Tru-
mans original $40 billion revenue
program. The House bill raises
only ST billion.
Senator Byrd, Democrat, of
Virginia. who promptly launched
a move to lower instead of raise
the House total. plans to pursue
his proposal today when Budget
Director Frederick j. Lawton
takes the stand.
The Virginia Democrat pro-
posed yesterday that Congress cut
So billion from the appropriations
for the fiscal year starting July l..
instead of boosting taxes higher
than the House bin. He also con-
tended the Treasury has under
estimated by $2.4 billion the tax
collections it will get in 1852 even
on existing rates.
On the basis of his figures, SEN
ator Byrd suggested a S4.6 billion
tax bill would be adequate for the
next year.
Senator Taft told Secretary
Snyder he is inclined to favor
letting the tax, bill wait until
November because he does not
believe any one can tell yet what
the rate of expenditure on the
defense program will be during
the fiscal year ending next June.
All of the appropriation bills for
that year, including the $50 billion
budget for defense, are still await
ing action during July
Noting that Secretary Snyder
testified the Treasury win close the
current fiscal year Saturday night
with a SO billion surplus. Senator
Taft said, 'It's quite a job to tell
the people you've got to tax them
more while showing a surplus for
the past year"
Senator Taft agreed that by
November the need for additional
revenue probably will be apparent,
but he insisted the probable rate
of spending for the next II months
cannot be determined at this time.
An indication that the Senate
Finance Committee is going to
delve deeply into the whole fiscal
and economic outlook before it
acts on a tax bill was seen in a

will be ready in about two weeks
Higher rents would date from the
day the landlord files his form
regardless of when final approval
comes from the administrator.

Fairfax Airport
Acceptable 10
Planning Group
No Decision Reached
On Location, However;
Time Asked for Study

The construction Of an airport
in Fairfax County is acceptable"
to the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission. but just
where is another matter.
Fairfax County officials are
seeking removal of the airport
from the county altogether and
propose that Friendship Airport
at Baltimore become the Wash
ington auxiliary field.
Without making any specific
recommendations on the $500
acre site at Burke, Va, the PLAN
ming commission informed Sec
rotary of Commerce Sawyer by
letter yesterday that Fairfax
County airport was included in
the 30-year plan for the District
area.
The letter asks. however, that
the Commerce Department allow
the planning commission mere
time to make up it's mind about
the Burke site. The law allows
the commission 80 days 70 study
an airport site before making any
recommendation. but the plan
ming group wants until at least
August 8, when the next COM
mission meeting is scheduled.
Meeting Called Today.
The commission has invited
Fairfax planners and Civil Aero
nautics Administration officials to
a meeting at 2 pm. today. A
NCPPC spokesman said the meet
ing would mark the beginning Of
spadework" by planning officials
In preparing to make up their
minds about what action to take
on the Burke site.
A delegation of Fairfax officials
met with Secretary Sawyer in

rector. said Mr.. Saw. . agreed to
accept results of a SUI vey on eco
nomic results of locating the air.
port in the county. which is being
conducted by the planning COM
mission. Mr.. Schuman added.
however. that the Commerce Sec
rotary gave no indication of
changing his mind about the site,
Mr.. Sawyer told the Fairfax
delegation that his information
was that airports enhanced land
values in most cases.
Fears Revenue Loss.
The county has taken the posi-
ton that its revenues would drop
because the 4,5o0-acre airport site
would be removed from tax rolls,
and because land values near the
airport would decrease.
Admiral c. S. Horne, admins
TRAITOR of the Civil Aeronautics
Administration, told the Fairfax
delegation that he and other
Commerce officials had driven
from the Statler Hotel to the
Burke site in % minutes, travelling
at a legal rate of speed.
Mr.. Schuman said that after
the meeting he and other mem
bers of the Fairfax delegation
drove over the same route as far
as Franconia in 261a minutes, and
were still about 5 miles from the
actual airport site.
