Second Airport
Urged Strongly
In U. 5. Report

New hope developed for Sec
ond airport in the Washington
metropolitan area today as the
Commerce Department prepared
a report for Congress, strongly
approving the project.
The report slated to go to the
Senate Commerce Committee in
January is understood to lean
toward the controversial Burke
(Va.) site as the most logical 10
cation. A resurvey Of all sites
and recommendation of q spe-
cific site, repeatedly are called
for in the report.
The urgent need for a new
field here is outlined in the re-
port with statistics indicating
facilities Of Washington Nation
al Airport are badly overcrowded
While the question Of financing
such a big project has been a
source of dispute. it was learned
that the report considers the
need so immediate that early
steps should be taken by the
Federal Government to get the
project underway.
| Details of financing, however,
will have to be worked out by
the administration and Con-
gress. The report follows a
strong demand by Chairman
Magnuson of the Senate Com
|merce Committee that the Gov
eminent take action. After a
hearing In July, the COMMITTEES
called on the Secretary of Com
merce to make the report.
| The Burke site, where the
Government already owns many
acres Of land. has been blocked
for several years because Con.
igress refused to appropriate
further funds to continue. But
the act calling for an airpor
Is still on the statute books.
The Magnuson committee or
Idered the Secretary Of Com
merce to report on the site h

The Lost Days
OF Tempo V
By JACK JONAS

Even though it's q mere
shell now, one thing that is
still very evident about old
Tempo v, being demolished at
Fifteenth street and Pennsyl-
vania avenue NV, is that it
was used by the Government.
II there were nothing else,
the filing cabinets would be
enough. Two long rows Of
them. back to back, meet the
eye from just inside the E
street entrance, where the
wrecker's office is.
It would be belaboring a
point to say that everything
from A to 2 was filed there
once! The cases are empty
now, except for a little dust
that settles in them as the
wreckers rip the structure
apart. But who ever heard Of
q Federal building without q
filing cabinet?

About 20 members Of the Cen

voted unanimously against the
principle "of integration Of the

hereby pledge to the people Of

legal method whereby political
subdivisions Of the State may
continue to maintain separate

Six days later-June 25-Gov.
Stanley issued this statement Of
policy:

anything to destroy the public
schools system, but 1t is ap-
parent from the volume Of COM

In order that my position
may be clearly understood, I
