SUBURBAN NEWS. GREATER CAPITAL CITY 1S VISIONED Model Airport and National Representation Boosted at “Maryland Night.” BY GEORGE PORTER. Inspired by the reports of definite sccomplishment during the past year in the construction of highways, schools and parkways, as$ explained by the officials involved, Senator Millard E. ‘Tydings, chresr‘nlml\e Frederick N. Zihlman of Maryland, and others last night envisioned a “Greater Washing- ton,” reaching far beyond the District line, as a city of homes, Government buildings, monuments and memorials, with a model airport, stadium and Dational representatives in_Congress. ‘The occasion was the second annual “Marylnad night” of the Board of Trade, held in the large ballroom of | the Willard Hotel and attended by over 1,000 members and guests. Condemns Economic Move. Enlarging on the theme of co-opera- tion between the District of Columbia and the adjacent counties of Montgom- ery and Prince Georges, as outlined by t.hc speakers who preceded him, Sena- Tydings, who closed the program, condemned any economic pelicy which treated Washington as a city v&l'.hin the limits of the District line as “most hnrmflll & “This area is desfln?rl to grow into a tremendmu city,” the Senator predicted. “Not a city of factories or industries, but a city of homes, Government build- ings, memorials and monuments.” Al- ready, he declared, a. movement is well und:r way to make it a mecca for ters, sculptors, etc. Un(.fl the time arrives when Wash- “4ngton shall obtain national representa- tion, Mr. Tydings promised to endeavor h serve the people here as their Sena- Atrport Declared Urgent. Predicting that the joint congres< sional airport committee will within the next few weeks recommend the con- struction of a “near-in” airport here and Jarger landing fleld in the suburban areal of nearby Maryland and Virginia. Repr !fltlmfl Zihlman described the alrpurt problem as one of the “very urgent” mmrl involving the future of the Nation’s Capital. ‘The sentiment of the airport commit- tee, the Representative deciar: not only that a local airport shcuid be built on a 50-50 financial arrangement Wetween the District and Federal gov- srnments, but that the latter should | p, bear the entire cost of the acquisition of land.

Completion of several miles of im- portant highways, dedication of numer- ous tracts of land for future park de- velopment and at! uinment of first place in the State for efficiency by the Mont- gomery County schools were cited by Maj.
