CITY FIGHTS FOR AVIATION ‘LAB

Delegation of Leaders May Carry Plea to Aeronautics Advisory ‘Board.

- City and Chamber of Commerce officials made new plans today in the hope of bringing the proposed $10,000,000 Federal aeronautical research laboratory here. ‘Myron Green, Chamber industrial secretary, said he will organize a delegation of City business and governmental leaders to be sent to Washington for hearings on the selection of the laboratory site before the National Advisory ‘Board for Aeronautics when hearing dates are set. : . The laboratory was provided for by Congress in the Appropriations Bill ‘and was orignally designated in the Bill to be located at Sunnyvale, Cal. . Rep.

mittee members still favor the California location. "Mr. Ludlow, in a letter to Mr. Green, said he “still retained hope of bringing the laboratory here and asked that a delegation be sent to present the City’s case before the committee. It is understood that ultimate plans call for creation of other large aeronautical research centers and City officials declare that if Indianapolis doesn’t get the first one effouts will be made to get the second.
