B—4 *x PRESENT AIRPORT SITE HELD IDEAL Board Will Be Asked to Withdraw Objection to Closing Road. B 8 Staff Correspon fent of The Star. ARLINGTON, Va. July 13.—The Arlington County Board will be asked to withdraw its objection to closing of that portion of Military road run- ning through Washington Airport at its meeting tomorrow morning. Samuel J. Solomon, vice president of the National Airport Corp. and manager of the airport, told members of the Board of Directors of the Ar- lington County Chamber of Com- merce last night that the air terminal would continue to do business “at the same old stand” regardless of any plans for other landing fields in nearby Virginia or Maryland. Site Held TIdeal. The present terminal, he said, is fdeal for the convenience of the pub- lic and can be made so from the viewpoint of necessary technical fa- eilities if the road is closed. “We did a record business Sunday— | B21 take-offs and landings between 8 am. and midnight Solomon said. “1 doubt if any airport in the coun- try did any better. “I am not worrving about any air- port at Camp Springs, Md, or any other place. The additional time and inconvenience resulting from con- struction of an airport farther out would cut into the short haul traffic on which lines here count so much. It would be necessary for each line to | maintain bus service between hotels | and the airport and add to the cost in that way. ‘Wants Settlement. “With completion of Lee Bnuls\nld and an additional right of way lead- | ing to Columbia pike, I am sure that elosing of Military road will not in- convenience the public. It will make it possible to develop the present site into & model airport at no cost to the District, which is facing a deficit and | has no funds to buy new airports anyhow.” Solomon said that he hoped the board members would reconsider their former objections to closing the road | 80 that the long-standing controversy | could be settled and work of improv- | ing the present site begun in the near | future.

There are no boundary lights | It would be necessarv for the air- lines to provide what temporary facilities they might require in the | way of storage space for parts and supplies, passenger facilities and servicing equipment The fact, however, that ground transportation time between downtown ‘Washington and the new Army field ranges from 30 to 45 minutes, depend- ing upon traffic eonditions, is rezarded ! miles from the District road from Good Hope Hill to Southern Marvland, according to officials of the Maryland State Roads Commission at Marlboro. The road is hard sur- faced, only 20 feet wide and sharply winding | David L. Behncke, president of the National Line Pilots’ Association, who has inspected the general area | from the air, expressed satisfaction | with the Camp Springs site from the aeronautical standpoint. Gravelly Point in Valley. Chief objections to the Gravelly | Point site from the standpoint of the | airline pilot, Behncke said, are thnt} it is in the river valley, subject to | floods, and that it is close to Bolling | Field. If the land were raised above flood level, he admitted, one of the principal objections would be over- | come. It still would not be as desir- able for bad weather approaches as & site entirely away from the city, he pointed out. | The added travel time between | downtown Washington and an airport | Eite as far out as Camp Springs is & source of grave concern to the local | especially to Eastern Alr: e F St. at Seventh lines, in connection with its hourly schedules to New York. The addition of 20 or 30 minutes to travel time between the Washington business, hotel and governmental area would seriously affect the New York service, traffic officials of the airline admitted. Total travel time between Washington Airport and the Pennsyl- vania Hotel, the New York terminal, is just under two hours. Actual flying time is 80 minutes, frequently is less and sometimes more. Ten minutes usually is allowed for taxicab time be- tween downtown Washington and the airport. Railroad time between Washington and New York has been reduced to 3 hours 35 minutes on the fastest Penn- sylvania Railroad electric schedule. This is from Washington Terminal to the Pennsylvania Station. Commerce Department records show that location of major city airports too far out or in locations where traffic congestion increases the travel time has already resulted disastrously in several cases. The outstanding example is Floyd Bennett Airport, built by New York 8s a municipal air terminal. Floyd Bennett was expected to supplant Newark Airport as the base for the Nation-wide system of airlines oper- ating Gut of New York, and the city poured millions of dollars into a mag- nificent air terminal. But when the airlines found how much more time was required for transportation be- tween Floyd Bennett and downtown New York than between Newark and the city, they refused to move. Detroit and Los Angeles had like ex- perience. 'RED CROSS WILL SEND SPAIN $2,500 MONTHLY | | Sum to Be Divided Between Both | Sides in War, Chairman Cary T. Grayson Announces. A contribution of $2,500 a month for the immediate future for war re- | lief work among both factions in Spain will be made by the American Red Cross, Chairman Cary T. Grayson an- nounced today. The money will be expended by the International Com- mittee of the Red Cross, with head- | quarters in Geneva, which has a staff | of workers in Spain with both insur- gent and loyalist forces The American Red Cross already has contributed $57,000 for relief in | Spain. Of this sum $26.000 was used t0 repatriate American citizens, $26.000 went to the International Committee and $5.000 was given to the French Red Cross for rellef among Basque refugee children THE ' EVENING - STAR, - WASHINGTON, BUSINESS GROUP J THENREW Ile HITS BRIDGEAGTION $10,000 for Repair of Penn- sylvania Avenue Span Held “Thrown Away.” Disappointment over failure of Con- gress to retain an item of $325,000 in the 1938 District appropriation bill for starting construction on the Penn- sylvania Avenue Bridge, was voiced at a meeting last night of the South- g east Business Men's Association. 3 The item was reinstated by the Sen- : ate after the House had stricken it out and substituted instead $40,000 for re- pairs. The conferees, however, elimi- nated the appropriation and allowed only $10,000 for repairs, which the business men contend will be “thrown away.” * Citing a traffic fatality recently at the intersection of Fifth street, North Carolina and Pennsylvania avenues southeast, the organization again re- quested a traffic light at the inter- section. The group expressed a desire for a recreational center in Southeast Wash- ington similar to ones in Takoma Park and other parts of the city. It was announced at last night's meeting, which was held in the offices of the president, Charles F. Donohoe, 314 Pennsylvania avenue southeast, that the association's annual outing would be held July 27 at Marshall W G A MOTHER RESUMES WORK AFTER BABY IS BORN | | Wife of St. Louis Raw Food Ad- vocate Interrupts Household Duties Only Two Hours.
