INQUIRY PLANNED
Commerce Department to
Determine Airport Haz-
ard Question.

Investigation by officials Of the aero
nautics branch Of the Commerce De-
partment of plans for erection Of a
rendering plant with 100-foot CHM
ney within 400 feet of the boundary Of
Washington Hoover Airport, was plan
ned today.
A. Pendleton Taliaferro, chief Of the
airports section of the branch, was ad-
yised today by officials Of Washington
Hoover Airport that the plant was to
be erected and that the chimney would
constitute an obstruction to air naviga-
ton from the airport.
Taliaferro indicated his section would
go into the plans as soon as possible TO
determine how serious a menace to the
safety of air transport operations out
of the local airport would be created by
the proposed chimney.
Oficials of the Post ONCE Depart
nent airmail service said they have not
been officially advised Of the plans for
construction Of the plant. Legally, the
department can take no action in the
matter, in case it is found that airmall
planes are endangered beyond the
bringing of its influence 70 bear to have
the plans abandoned or altered.
In several similar cases in various
parts Of the country. where erection
of obstructions has been planned in the
vicinity of airports from which mail
planes operate, it was said the locaI
postmaster has been advised by the de-
partment to use his influence to pre-
vent construction of the obstacle. This
procedure probably will be followed in
case of the Arlington County plant, II
