* TEMPORARY PLANE FIELD NEGESSRY Commission Recommends | This Pending Gravelly Point Airport Development. A temporary aviation field which | ©ould be used as a principal airport for Washington during & gradual develop- | Mént of Gravelly Point is proposed by the National Capital Park and Planning Cdmtmission as a solution of the airport prohlem: here. commission, which has completed u idy for a system of afrports for hington and its environs, suggests t the temporary field later be used 88 an auxiliary or emergency field. The results of the study, a part of the an- nual report, are now before President Hoover. ‘The commission studied the possi- bilities of 48 fields and the report lists a | second ring of emergency landing fields around the central airport. In this are included all present landing fields, the Bolf course in Potomac Park, and a site | near the proposed Mount Vernon Me- morial Highway, now in process of con- struction. Adequate Airport Vital. Pointing to the lack of an adequate airport here, the Commission says, * haps such a field in Governmes ship is nowhere more needed.” “From his study there has been de- veloped a primary plan showing possi- ble central airports. emergency, auxili- ary and intermediate landing fields in relation to the primary air routes’to other important cities or flelds, the re- port says. The locations for fields are suggestive of the kind of system for . alr facilities which the commission has in mind. “1. For the central airport, sites at Qravelly Point for commercial use, and at Bolling Field extended for military use, are shown on the plan. “3, Emergency landing flelds on lands held either exclusively for fly- ing er on properties the use of which can be accommodated to emergency dings. Such landing places should be within gliding distance of the princi- pal port and can be provided on the golf course at East Potomac Park, in Anacostia Park in front of the field house in section C and north of the proposed stadium site on the Wash- ington side. The present airports at the South End of the Highway Bridge, should also be kept in mind, and. if possible, preserved for their use. When the bay at the mouth of Oxon Run below Blue Plains is filled, as proposed by the District Commissioners. another emergency field might be provided there. Still emergency landing place might. be located an the low land east of the. Mount Vernon Memorial High- ‘way north of Alexandria. Favor Auxiliary Fields “3. Auxiliary fields, suitable for local use ot for schools, would supply a second ring around the central port. The at- tention of the commission has been. «to the possibility of t.3\:!:1\ t‘u o lace over the rail- ':‘xémr’fi‘fxl. nfl‘dm& gl the Union Station, because of the potentiality it holds for and mail transfer as !-‘::‘x fi‘ r emergency use. This sugges! B lustrates th:,vlflety‘ both in type and cost, of possible landing flelds which the dommission has considered. Other sites which partake partly of the char- acter of ncy landings might be provided on or adjacent to the Alexan- dria water works holdings at Baileys Crosroads, north of the Alexandria- Leesburg road near the seminary, at Silver Hill and Forestviile, in Maryland. To the riorth and west of :the city loca- tions should be considered along the westerly route, possibly at Langley, alons the Pittsburgh route, in the propose extension of Rock Creek Park, and at Halpine, where the Congressional Air- port is a possible unit in the system. Along the New York route, or in its general direction, there is now the field a¢ College Park, and several possibili- ties near Chillum in the valley of the Northwest Branch. “The two Iargest areas within reason- able distance of Washington for school or other auxiliary purposes are located | both at Camp Spring, in Maryland, and be- tween Mount Vernon and Alexandria, in the valley of Little Hunting Creek, Va. It is understood that a group of promoters have already purchased a . considerable area for this purpose in the latter location. “4, Intermediate fields, spaced from 15 to 30 mile intervals along prin- cipal routes, are shown on the accom- ying plan at Quantico, Manassas, mburi. Prederick, Laurel, Bowie and Camp Meade. Gravelly Point Most Desirable. “The details of this study and these recommendations were placed before the ial congressional committee under :g:cch.h-m:nshflp of Senator Bingham. The commission appreciates the cost and time necessary to develop the Grav- elly Point site as a principal commer- cial airport, but for over two years has been recorded (June 17, 1927) as favor- at There Is Still Time For You to Get Your A RADIOLA VICTOR TERMS: 10% down, balance in twelve months, accompanied by our “Blue Ribbon” Service.

A temporary field which could be used as the principal port during a gradual and inexpensive de- velopment of Gravelly Point, and later utilized as an auxiliary or emergency field, would appear to be a satisfactory solution of the problem. “Through the co-operation of the committee on the National Capital of the American Institute of Architects, Mr. E. H. Callison took as a subject for his thesis at Yale University a possible development of the Gravelly Point site for an airport. His drawings indicate the possibilities of this site and the in- terest of the country in provision of an appropriate airport for the National Capital.” FEDERAL AGENTS PROBE RADIO DISTURBANCES Trouble in Reception at Lynchburg Being Investigated by De- partment of Commerce. Special Dispatch to The Star. LYNCHBURG, Va., December 21.— Because of numerous and insistant com- plaints of radio owners here of disturb- ances with their radios, C. A. Ellert and H. A. Cohen of the radio division of the Federal Department of Commerce, who are stationed at Fort McHenry, Balti- more, are here making inspections of possible or probable causes of this dis- turbance.

Martha D. C., DECEMBER 22, 1929—PART ONE. DISTRICT SUFFRAGE WILL BE DEBATED Contest Will Be Held by Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. January 28. The right of residents of the District of Columbia to be represented in Con- gress and to vote for President will be debated by the Young Men's and Young Women's Christian Associations in a formal forensic contest to be held Jan- uary 28 at Y. W. C. A. headquarters, Seventeenth and K streets. Since neither association appeared eager to take the negative side of the question after a challenge had been issued by Y. M. C. A. debaters, collegiate rules were invoked to settle the prob- lem, with the result that the challenged team was given choice of sides. Accord- ingly, the Y. M. C. A. men will uphold the negative of the proposition: “Re- solved, that the residents of the District should be given the right to vote.” The debaters have agreed that the question of suffrage for the District will apply only to the right of voting for ‘Washington's own representatives in Congress and for the candidates for President of the United States. Local government elections are not involved in the subject to be discussed. Since the seating capacity in Barker Hall of the Y. W. C. A. is limited, invi- tations will be issued by the two associa- tlons. Men and women prominent in publie and private life will be asked to attend. A jury of judges will be selected | by officials of the two organizations. Special debating teams are being picked for the occasion. Names of the orators will be announced later. Officials of both associations have obtained much available information on the subject of the debate, including & mass of data supplied by the citizens’ joint commit- tee on national representation for the District of Columbia.
