UNITED PLEA ASKED FOR AIRPORT HERE Gravelly Point Site Urged by . Representative Hall of District Committee. An appeal for all District civic and ns to present to Oongress a united plea for the estab- lishment of an airport for the National Capital was made by Representative Albert R. Hall of Indiana, member of the House District committee, at a luncheon meeting of the Rotary Club ’w&{u trongl; d the 3 strongly su e crea- tion here of a modzfp:;r';orn on the Gravelly Point site, to be financed in large part by the Federal Government. The fleld should be the best which ex- perience and location permit, he said, declaring that neither Washington nor the coun! as a whole will be satisfied ‘with an; g less than the best. “Ina way the existence here of Bollin Field and the smaller privately-owne fields has been a fortunate thing for the District of Columbie, even though they have removed the necessity for earifer action looking toward a govern- mental airport,” Mr. Hall said. “Their existence has taken care of the more resstng emergency needs and has permitted the exercising of delib- eration in the selection and develop- ment of a field, eliminating earlier mistakes which have been made by other cities due to lack of experience. ‘The Capital benefits by the pioneering eirport work which has been done else- where.” Ne Room for Dispute. ‘There is no room for dispute over the necessity of an airport here, the Dis- trict committee member said. Cities which are looking into the ftuture, even | the smallest cities, must provide for air transportation, he said. This need is going to continue to increase as time goes on. “As to the question of location,” he said, “experience dictates that the field must be as close as possible to the busi- ness center of the city it serves. At Cleveland, for example, the field, though one of the largest and finest in the country, was located approximately 11 miles away from the business district. Now Cleveland is facing the necessity | of establishing a smaller field closer in, ::m: a shuttle service to connect the wo. “The city which puts its airport too far out loses all the advantages of air transportation through the loss of time g traveling between the airpert and the “‘Washington is fortunate in being able to obtain a site within five minutes’ travel of the business center, especially in view of the fact that automobile travel between the field and the city will be possible without going through any congested % areas. With relation to the financing of the project, Mr. Hall said, there are two dis- tinct schools of thought, one that the District of Columbia should pay the cost, the other that the Feceral Govern- ment should bear all or part of the ex- pense. “My own personal conviction,” he said, “is that, looking at the question from the standpoint that the field will be used ly by the Federal Govern- ment and airmail lines, a large part of the financing should be done by the Federal Government.” Sheuld Consider Control. On the subject of whether the field should be operated by the District gov- ernment as a municipal hether the operating concession sh o per: . This subject should be carefully considered, he s3id. “I have been struck by the unanimity of opinion on the part of aviators and %neen in support of Gravelly t site,” Mr. Hall sald. “It seems, from all the material gathered, that there is a decided ity for worth- while development there. It may take two or three years to complete the project, but the expense, extended over a period of time, will not be out of reach 3 . The expense ehould 80 beyond $5,000,000 or $6,000,000 for -tn ‘A-l-A'1 airport, which is the e An area of 350 acres may be made evailable for use at Gravelly Point with- in a very short time, he said, and from 800 to 1,000 acres may be added later. The Capital must look forward to estab- lishment of a field of that size, he said, ‘c?u light of the experiences of other es. “Idaho Potatoes” On Capitol Menu Arouse Snow’s Ire Representative Snow of Maine says he will keep right on pro- testing until he gets Idaho po- tatoes off the House of Repre- sentatives restaurant menu. Not that Snow objects to the serving of Idaho potatoes. “It's potato propaganda,” that he de- nounces in a loud voice. “Several times lately,” said Snow, “I have found Idaho po- tatoes listed in red ink on our restaurant menu. I am not ask- ing that Maine potatoes be listed in red ink. I am saying that the House menu is no place for propa- ganda in any form, and that no variety of potato should be printe ed in red ink.” site, he said, would improve the beauty of Wi n very materially. It would harmonize with the park develop- ment of the river front and would fit in well with the Mount Vernon Memorial Boulevard project, which now is prog- Tess. In introducing Mr. Hall, Robert J. Cottrell, in charge of the day's program, hasized the fact that the airport project is of profound importance to all commercial and business men and organizations in the Capital. Establish- ment of the fleld, he said, will put the National ital on the airways map of the Nation, from which it now is notice- ably absent. HOLD HOUSEWARMING. Ben W.

Cer. tainly, too, the mild minerals, subtly combined by Nature, aid in the ever- lasting battie against ketone acidosis.
