The Navy Department, ac cording to reports coming out of Washington this week, has re opened consideration of the Har- ' vey Point site here for use by the DefenseDepartment.

Bantz on May 4 for the purpose of officially determin ing if there is some good use the government can make of the base. Bantz, accompanied by other top Navy officials, will fly to Harvey Point, where he will meet Congressman Herbert C. Bonner at 10 A. M. to confer about the possibilities of reacti vating the facility. The Wash ington announcement stated Mr, Bantz will be accompanied here by R. T. Wilson, deputy chief of naval operations for logistics and Rear Admiral E. J. Peltier, chief of the Bureau of Yards and Docks. Local opinion is the action being taken by the Navy De partment comes from the prod ding of Congressman Carl Vin son (D-Ga.) chairman of the House Armed Services Commit tee, who was angered when the Navy announced earlier this year it was abandoning the sea plane program after having spent some $11 million in preliminary preparation of the Hertford i base and other millions in de- va. wuow.
