ARMY CARVING 0UT MODELARFIELD New Bolling Field Begins to Assume Shape South of Present Area. Out of a dusty, desolate waste along the Potomac River south of Bolling Field and the Anacostia Naval Air Sta- tion the Army is hard at work carving out what will eventually be one of the | finest military flying fields in the East. Clouds of dun-colored dust, Tising above what used to be small farm fields, shack buildings and the widely-spread plant of the steel works at Giesboro Point, hide tractors, scrapers and;’ '\' leveling off the 300-acre | On'the foot of the hills which rise above the landing area to Anacostia the steel, concrete and brick skeletons of a large and impressive group of hangars | and buildings are rising. Farthest advanced of the buildings on the post is a block-long barracks building in the prevailing Colonial arch- ftectural motif. This building, four stories high. is partially roofed and soon ‘will be ready for interior work. It rises | four stories above ground level, the | lower story walls of field stone and the | remainder of the building of brick and limestone. The main entrance is| through a white-pillared portico. Retarded by Economy Act. ‘The steel frames for two of four large | steel, brick and stone hangars are near- ing completion on the edge of the field several hundred yards below the bar- | racks building. and the foundations are being completed for the administrative and operations building at the edge of | the fleld. Time of completion of the field grad- ing and construction has become rather indefinite owing to the congressional economy program, but funds for a num- ber of new buildings have been included in the proposed general relief bill.

The present field, really safe for only two-way operations, is so low as to be subject to flooding at times of high water in the Potomac and has the reputation of being one of the wet- test and muddiest flelds used by the Army.
