forthcoming 10th District Re-
publican Convention we're elected
last night at a Falls Church
G. o. P. mass meeting.
Frank j. Meyer, an attorney
who lives at 921 Parker street,
was elected Republican city
chairman to succeed Mrs. Wini-
fred B. Smith.
Delegates elected to the 10th
District Convention and also to
the State Convention are Mr..
Meyer and Mrs. Jane Miller. AL
Iternates are Mrs. Smith and Mrs.
Anne Porter.
The district convention will be
held June % at the George Ma
son Hotel. Alexandria. Principal
business there will be to re-
nominate Representative Broy-
hill for a third term, elect two
Virginia delegates to the Repub-
lican National Convention in
San Francisco and select dis
trict chairman.
Craftsmanship Battle
The district convention has
the potentialS of battle over
the district craftsmanship, now
held by Oren r. Lewis. For this
reason, action taken by Falls
Church last night is-mathe-
matically, at least--signif1cant.
Votes by other areas in the
district are: Arlington, 80; Fair
fax. 20. and Alexandria, IL.
Two weeks ago at the Fairfax
mass meeting, two contenders
for the district craftsmanship
fought it out. Ray Crowley,
who retired as county chairman,
won out with the election of IL
delegates committed to him,
Boru Newman was supported by
the remaining 8 delegates. But
Fairfax instructed its delegation
ito observe the unit rule, thus
probably committing all of its
20 votes to Mr.. Cromley.
Alexandria Republicans have
declined to commit themselves.
Falls Church party members
failed to bring up the question
iof a district chairman last night.
Arlington Meeting Monday
Arlington Republicans Will
meet Monday night. The rest of
the district is waiting to see what
action, if any, they will take on
the matter of committing its
delegation to a district chairman.
Mr.. Lewis declined to say re-
Gently whether he is a candidate
to succeed himself as head of
the 10th district organization.
Another Arlingtonian mentioned
as possibility is Raymond F.
Belew.
Theoretically, if the district
convention should be divided on
an issue with Arlington's 80 votes
going one way and the combined
80 votes of Fairfax and Alexan-
dria the other, then the two del

Commerce.
S31 Million for
Burke Airport
By HAROLD ROGERS

The controversial Burke Air
port in nearby Virginia today
was believed to be revived for a
new start. as the Commerce
Department submitted to the
Budget Bureau a request for an
appropriation of more than $31
million to build the field.
The Commerce Department
acted, it was learned, as a re-
suit Of the strong report by the
Senate Interstate and Foreign
Commerce Committee recon-
|mending the Burke site for the
additional airfield for the Wash
ington METROPOLITAN area.
The second airport had been
authorized by law years ago,
substantial money appropriated
and much land acquired by the
Government at the Burke site.
But the project was blocked
when Congress later refused to
appropriate any more money
for it.
Hearings Held
The controversy over the field
ragged for years until the Senate
Commerce Committee, headed by
Senator Magnuson. Democrat OF
Washington, ordered a study by
his subcommittee. This resulted
in lengthy hearings, investiga-
tons and finally a majority re-
port of the committee recently
strongly urging that the ma
ltional capital needed a new air.
port at Burke which should be
built.
Opposition to the site had been
registered not only by Virginia
Legislators in Congress but by
the two Maryland Senators who
had insisted that Friendship
International Airport near Bal
ClmOre SnOuld De USED Tor the
overflow of air traffic.
Operating Facility
The funds requested by the
Commerce Department for the
project would be sufficient to
build what is called an "operat-
ing facility" to relieve the over
crowded air traffic at Washing
ton National Airport.
There was no indication today
as to whether the Budget Blu
reau would approve and the
President send to Congress a
request for the funds.
But officials of the Commerce
Department recently indicated
that, if the Senate Commerce
Committee made definite rec
ommndation for the field at
Burke. the Department would
respond by action.

I've experim ented with

have discovered that the big
secret of looking natural Is to
select your powder to exactly
match the tone of your skin. The
right shade Of powder is very
important because If it Is too
light or too dark it will be con-
spicuous.
II keep three basic shades
Of powder on hand and blend
then according to the color
Of my skin. A clean puff is
also essential" Dinah told me,
because any oil from your
skin that is left on your puff
will cause your powder to
streak. Scrubbing with soap
suds and a nail brush is the
best way to clean puffs.

Everyone agrees that Dinah
Shore is more attractive now
than ever before. II never stop
trying to improve myself"
Dinah admitted with a little
laugh. ~ have never felt that
I was pretty SO I've always
experimental and tried to get
as much helpful advice as pos
sible.
"Of course everyone would
like to be born beautiful"
Dinah said, ''but when you are
not, you must try to accept the
assets you do have and be
cheerful about it. Analyze
yourself, be realistic and make
any changes you feel may
help. Sometimes a girl who Is
not pretty will feel she has to
make up for her lack Of beauty
by being the life of a party
when this isn't her true per-
sonality at all. Whatever
makes you feel comfortable
will always make the best
impression with others.
ut is surprising what you
can do toward improving
yourself if you really work at
it. I've tried q lot Of tricks"
Dinah continued, land learned
by trial and error. I've tried
plucking my eyebrows and ex-
tending their natural line and
I've shaped my mouth in va
ious outlines, but In. the end /
was convinced that simplicity
and the natural look were the
best for me.

Dinah added. II find that be-
ing a blond is more becoming to
me than my natural shade of
hair. I love to spend a. lot of
time in the sun and when I have
q tanned skin my light hair
presents a more fiattering con-
trast. But when you do bleach
your hair you must be careful
to protect 1t from the sun.
II used to feel that I could
only wear my hair one way, ="
Dinah said, but with my week
ly NBC-TV show we needed more
and I am delighted be-
cause I discovered that changing
my hairdo gives me the same
kind Of lift as buying a new hat.

take only one. Have a salad

II solved my weight problem
long ago by learning to eat
well-balanced meals. I keep
a scale in my bathroom and
weigh myself each morning
before I dress-hut, sometimes
my weight f1uctuates as much

with me is how my clothes
feel. The moment a skirt is
