WASHINGTON
(CP)
President
Eisenhower
today
spoke
out
against
"disregard
of
standards
of
fair
play"
in
congressional
investigations.
He
specially
lauded
'Brig.
Gen.
Ralph
Zwicker,
whom
Senator
Joseph
McCarthy
had
termed
"unfit
for
command."
McCarthy
promptly
reported
he'd
go
on
investigating
communism.
The
President
implied
criticism
of
McCarthy's
methods
without
mentioning
the
Wisconsin
Republican
by
name
when
he
said:
"In
opposing
communism,
we
are
defeating
ourselves

either
1
by

or
through

.Stevens'
last
week
accused
Me-
Carthy
of
abusing
an
army

bemedalled
Brig.
Gen.
Ralph
W.

McCarthy
denied
any
such
abuse
and
Stevens
retreated
on

order
to

to

further
about

case
of

With
the
announcement
that
he
had
the
backing
of
Elsenhower,
Stevens
said
he
had
been
assured
that
there
would
be
no
"browbeating"
of
army
witnesses
when
he
retracted
his
order.
McCarthy
called
lust
night
for
a
moratorium
on
statements
between
him
and
his
critics.
He
turned
aside
a
thrust
by
Leonard
W.
Hall,
Republican
national'
committee
chairman,
who
told
reporters
after
a
White
House
conference
with
the
president
Tuesday:
"My
feeling
about
it
Is
this:
While
Joe
is
fighting
communism
I
go
along
and
we
all
go
along.
When
he
begins
to
attack
persons
who
are
fighting
communism
just
as
conscientiously
as
he
is,
I
can't
go
along
with
him."

This

besides
Mr.

were
Mrs.

Announcement
This
Is
disclosed
in
a
letter
;
from
Transport
Minister
Chev-rier
read
at
the
monthly
meeting
of
t:
Chamber
of
Commerce.
The
announcement
came
as
a
shock
to
the
Chamber
which
has
campaigned
for
years
for
an
airport
here
and
brought
heated
criticism
of
the
government
action
In,
once
again,
shelving
Rupert's
request.
"This
city
Is
a
natural
cross
roads
for
all
modes
of
Pacific
travel,"
said
Lou
Felsenthal.
"Without
a
land
airfield.
Prince
Rupert
is
again
destined
to
lose
its
natural
advantages."
.
Norton
Voungs,
chairman
of
the
Chamber's
airport
commit-
tee,
said:
"Surely
the
government
is
not
blind
to
the
needs
of
a
land
airport
here."
He
was
appointed
to
probe
further
Into
the
matter
and
sent
a
telegram
to
Ottawa
today
requesting
the
report
of
a
survey
conducted
on
Digby
Island
last
year
by
the
Department
of
Transport.
The
Dlgby
site
was
arrived
at
following
study
of
various
sites
in
the
two
previous
years.
EXPANSION
LIMITED
Mr.
Chevrier
said
the
1953
survey
indicated:
i
The
terrain
on
the
Island
Is
such
that
while
an
air
strip
could
be
constructed,
possibilities
of
airfield
expansion
would
be
seriously
limited.
.
.
.
-
While
weather
conditions
on
Digby
appear
better
than
here
"the
Island
is
still
in
an
area
where
weather
is
a
serious
handicap
to
flying."
These
limitations
on
the
usefulness
of
the
airport
are
accentuated
by
the
fact
that
the
neighboring
mainland
territory
is
mountainous
...
ADDITIONAL
EXPENSE
.'
i
in
addition,'
to
construc
tion
of
an
airstrip,
it
would
be
necessary
to
construct
road
facilities
on
the
island,
provide
for
a
water
taxi
to
the
mainland
and
related
docking
facilities,
and
possibly
improve
mainland
road
connections
as
well.
This
would
add.
materially
to
the
cost
...
Construction
costs
would
be
extremely
high,
in
fact
several
times
our
normal
airport
construction
costs.
Total
cost
of
constructing
even
a
single
runway
with
limited
length
would
run
well
over
$2,000,000.
Mr.
Chevrier
said
additional
expenditures
te
make
the
field
operational,
such
as
lights,
aids
to
navigation,
buildings
and
a
road
would
probably
send
cost
to
$4,000,000.
"As
a
result
of
this
situation
when
the
estimates
of
my
department
were
recently
before
the
Treasury
Board,
decision
was
reached
that
no
