President Eisenhower's in
dorsement Of Burke as the site
for a new capital airport failed
yesterday to change the oppo-
sition stands of Representative
Broyhill, Republican of Vir-
ginia. and other Northern Vir-
GINA leaders.
The Representative from the
10th district not only declined
to let President Eisenhower's
Ipro-Burke statement sway him.
but also chided the Civil Aero
nautics Administration for not
having the backbone" to pro-
pose another site.
Also maintaining firm oppo-
sition to Burke despite the
President and the CAA was
Fairfax County Supervisor
Joseph H. Freehill.
Hasn't Changed
II haven't changed my views
one iota," Mr.. Freehill said
ITS not important who says
what about Burke. But the
facts are important. and the
facts are against it,"
None of the other supervis-
ors known to be opposed to
Burke prior to the Presi-
dents Endorsement volunteered
changes of opinion yesterday.
In another development, the
Air Transport Association re-
iterated its support for Burke
in a statement.
The association said Friend
ship Airport, south of Balti-
more, was never meant to
serve Washington connect
ing passengers-those who ar
rive on one fight and board
another to continue their trip
will not stand for a long
ride on the ground in the mid
die of their trip"
A similar argument was put
forward by the association
against Chantilly, which also
was rejected by the CAA in
favor of Burke.
Mr.. Broyhill said he was
pleased that a request would
be made by the Government
for funds for Burke because
it will bring the issue to a head
and expedite the search for an
alternate site"
He said he resented the
Governments ignoring the
will Of the people" He said he
did not blame the President
personally for the decision to
ask for funds for the Burke
project.

BY ALEX r. PRESTON

u
/ A House floor fight over the
Potomac River tunnel proposal
at Constitution avenue is set
for midweek.
Majority Floor Leader Nc
Cormack said yesterday, II
don't see how we can reach
that bill before Wednesday,
probably not before Thursday"
Representative Gross, Repub-
lican of Iowa, is among those
expected to wage an about
battle against the four-lane
tunnel, to cost $25.5 million.
This is about $40 million more
than the cost of a fixed span
bridge of six lanes.
1t was the seventh measure
affecting the District on a list
of bills for this week. One
hours debate has been allowed
although more time may be
consumed with amendments.
Both House and Senate Dis

This is one Of the reasons why
the National Guard is thought
Of fondly by so many people,
according to District NG's COM
mander, Mai. Gen. w. H. Aben-
droth, of Falls Church, Va.
Many men join the unit in
which their fathers served. and
carry on in the tradition of the
local unit.
Although its name has
changed numerous times, the

District Set to Debate Purchase
Of Apartment for Public HOUSING

Anacostfa river and buying
more has the same effect"-to
Mr.. Schmidt a downgfading Of
neighborhoods.
Admitting the greatest need
for large family quarters, Mr..
Ring said the 81 Terrace units
could be filled Immediately
with smaller families in need,
too. His authority's aim is to
spread public housing through
out the city, he conceded, but
the opportunity to buy Terrace
in the southeast simply can
not, in fairness to people in
need Of housing. be over
looked"
Mr.. Ring challenged claims
of both Mr.. Schmidt and Carl
L. Shipley, Urban Renewal
Councilman. that public hous-
ing downgraded home areas
around 1t and discouraged pri-
vate investment.
In 1852. public housing on IL
city blocks formerly occupied
by slums netted the city more
in payments in lieu of taxes
than came from the rundown
private housing in taxes. And
good housing was substituted
for cellars. attics and cramped
living rooms. overcrowded by
Stun tenants, Mr.. Ring said.
Large private apartment de-
velopments often have followed
building Of public housing here,
he pointed out.
Called Elaborate
eritics of the Terrace sale
also charged the apartments
are too elaborate for public
housing. The Housing Act pro-
nlplLS elaborate or extravagant
design or materials" in public
units. Mr.. Ring denied the Ter
race was elaborate" in the
meaning Of the statute. Nothing
in the law forbids pleasant de-
sign or requires ugly housing,
he noted.
The Home Builders have
lambasted Mr.. Ring before the
District Commissioners for
creating the crying need" for
housing such as Terrace. Mr..
Ring arranged income-eiigibil-
ity figures to include about a
third Of the city's population in
the public housing potential,
according to Frank Calcara,
president Of the Association.
He insisted that low-rental, pri-
vate housing was currently
available on almost the same
terms as the Terrace could
provide, as a public unit.

ministration to back up pur-
chase costs Of lis units, under
a 1949 housing authorization.
This would cover the 1903 Ter
race units. he noted.
If he won approval Of the
Commissioners on the basic
policy of buying Terrace. he
would ask PHA for authority to
issue temporary notes to raise
money for the deal. Or PHA
could advance funds to be con-
verted later to temporary A.
nancing by notes. he explained.
See Revenue
The Home Builders insist
that interest on this 40-year
financing and the loss in tax
money on the Terrace is too
costly for the return Of only
1903 public housing units. Dis
trict revenue from the property
would be reduced so per cent II

Mr.. Ring pointed out that
annual real estate taxes from
the Terrace amounted to SO, 900.
Under law, the Authority would
pay the District in lieu Of taxes
for the Terrace about $4,000
annually.
This means the total annual
cost to the District of providing
100 dwelling units for low
income families would be APP
proximately $4,600." Mr.. Ring
said. rs this too great a cost?"
/ Emphatically, yes. according
to Mr.. Schmidt. He said tenants
of the Terrace would be driven
out of their S73 to S85-a-month
apartments there to make room
for public housing tenants who
pay comparable rents.
Incomes Of families Ak rental
payments in public housing. Mr.
Ring explained. His staff esti-
mated that rents in the Terrace
