Airport Aid May Be Available
Washington June 20. President Roosevelt must sign a bill to unlock twenty five million dollars in Works Progress funding to aid airport expansion in Amarillo. The 75 25 cost split could see federal funds cover most of elaborately planned runways at English Field if designated a strategic Army air defense site, though private operator Thornton Oxnard continues airport work nearby. Texas ports San Antonio El Paso Midland are certified. War Department has halted delegations while Johnson reviews routing. Carl Hinton of the Amarillo Chamber of Commerce expects possible participation.
