Funds to Complete
Flood Work Voted

The House late yesterday
passed and sent to the Senate
Sis million for completion of
the Anacostia River flood control
project. which had been author
lied in 1850.
The item was included in the
big public works appropriation
bill carrying money for civil func-
lions of the Army and other exec
utive agencies of Government.
Several other flood control
projects in Maryland and Vir-
ginia were included, but all were
much farther away from the
National Capital than the Ana
costa River project.
The fund for nearby Prince
Georges County will be sufficient,

tect several communities along
the Anacostia River. The work
could be finished within the next
fiscal year, ending June 80, 1857,

.S31 Million for
Airport
Department Action
Comes in Wake of
Strong Report
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-
lions and finally a majority re-
port of the committee recently
strongly urging that the ma
tional 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
timore should be used for 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-
ling 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 q definite rec
ommndation for the field at
Burke. the Department would
respond by action.
