By CHARLES YARBRoUGH


The Baltimore Association Of
Commerce tomorrow win make Q
formal objection TO the Senate
aviation subcommittee over not
being invited to testify for
Friendship airport during hear
|ings on q second airfield for
Washington.
Use Of Friendship Interna-
tional near Baltimore a. o solu-
ton to Washington air conges-
ton was rejected by the Com
merce Department In o report to
Congress January 8.
The report listed joint US Of
Andrews Air Force Base Is first

ton Of o new field at Burke, Va,
las a second.
The aviation subcommittee,
headed by Senator Monroney,
Democrat Of Oklahoma. Is ready
to urge immediate crash pro-
gram" construction on the Burke
site.
Frank T. McHugh. aviation
director Of Baltimore's Associa-
ton Of Commerce. said the OBJ
lection headed for the Monroney
subcommittee will be Q polite
one, but firm.
Called Surprise Move
He said the testimony on the
Washington airport situation
came as q surprise move and one
without an invitation to Balti-
more to present Friendships side
of the case.
He also said that o request viii
be made that arguments favor
ing Washington's use Of the big
Baltimore airfield be included In
the official records Of the hear
ings as they 60 to the fun Sen
ate Commerce Committee.
In its January 8 report, the
Commerce Department cited
three reasons why 1t was reject
ing Friendship. One was COM
muting time from Washington
compared to other sites: the Sec
ond was that Washington would
have but little space ut Friend
ship because Of anticipated
traffic.
The third objection had to do
with possibility Of an air trafiic
control problem arisink from the
position Of Friendships instru-
Iment runway In its relation 10

Washington airway.
Mr., McHugh said the associa-
ton has answers to these objec-
tons.
Opposition Plans Noted
