PLAN BILLION DOLLAR AIRPORTS PROGRAM

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2 (U. P) ~~ Rep. Jennings Randolph (D. W.Va.) said today that hearings would begin soon after congress reconvenes in January on his bill calling for a $1,000,000,000 program of airport construction during a 10-year period after the war. Stating that millions of homecoming Rjlots “must not be coms pelled to drive 50 or 100 miles to the nearest airport to fly,” Rep. Randolph said he thought his bill or a similar one would be passed by early spring because congress agreed on the need for a post-war afrport pro~ gram, His bill, he said, embodied the plan proposed by the civil aero-

the federal government to match state funds on a 50-50 basis to build 8050 new airports and improve 1625 existing airports. The CAA proposal, which he said was “well received” by congress, would cost the government about $1,250,000,000.

COUNCIL OUSTER GOES TO COURT

Suit Asks Restraining Order On Commissioners; Trial Set Dec. 14.°

A legal showdown to detefmine if county commissioners have the authority to oust. the county council from the latter's newly established headquarters office in the court house annex at 148 E. Market st will be heard in circuit court Dec. 14. The council has filed a suit, asking Judge Earl R. Cox to restrain the commissioners from carrying out their threats to oust councilmen from their office. and stop payment of the salary of their secretary, Mrs. Esther Karabell. Last Tuesday commissioners for-

cate the office and ‘return to dealers about $700 worth of equipment councilmen ordered delivered to the place. See Authority Lacking

Commissioners .. contended the councilmen set up their offices afid ordered the furniture without proper authority, that it should have been done - by advertising bids through the commissioners’ office. The council's. suit asked Judge Cox to mandate the commisisoners to pay for the new furniture and pay Mrs. Karabell’s salary. Fails to Issue Order Judge Cox did not issue a temporary restraining order but indicated that if commissioners should attempt to carry out their threat he would issue a restraining order, pending the hearing Dec. 14. The ouster move appeared to be vpart- of a two-year-old factional feud over county financial policies, with the commisisoners aligned with the regular Republican party and the council supporting anti-organi-zation forces of the City Hall Republican Victory committee.
