BACKGROUND

6AI n h1HOOND-
An ultimatum by airline pilots
that they uiH refuse to continue
operation of large transport air
planes at Washington Airport pre-
cipitdted crisis in the 11-year
fight for an adequate airport TOR
Washington. Pilots dlloued so days

Monday Congress made public rec

Springs, Md.
Drafting Of Federal regulations
which will relieve individual airline
pilots of responsibility for deciding
when conditions make operations at
Washington Airport unsafe for large,
high-speed airliners is in progress to-
day.
1t is probable that the special regu-
lations developed for Washington Air.
port may become model for other
airports as the development of giant
new air transport airplanes outstrips
the growth of ground facilities for
them. according to Director of Air
Commerce Fred D. Fagg. jr.
Drafting Of the special rules was
begun following a long conference
late yesterday between Fagg and David
L. Behncke. president of the Ma
tionsl Air Line Pilots Association.
Behncke was empowered to draft a
proposed set of rules governing de-
tailed operations at Washington Air
port. which will be discussed at a
further conference tomorrow morning.
The regulations, it is understood,
will prescribe wind directions and We
locities and other conditions under
which landings at Washington Air
port will be regarded as safe for va
rious types Of aircraft and conditions
under which attempted landings or
take offs will be forbidden.
Unsuitable for Some Types.
1T is not that Washington Airport
OF itself is unsafe" Fasg explained.
1T is just that it Is not suited to
the operations of certain types of
new high-speed aircraft. The Queen
Mary could not come into Washington
harbor. It could not dock at certain
types of wharves in New York harbor
That does not mean that Washington
harbor is not safe or that wharves
in New York harbor are dangerous.
It means merely that they are not
suitable for the Queen Mary.
THAT is just the condition at WASH
ington Airport and will be the condi-
ton at other major air transport ter
minals as airplane sizes increase. For
small, light airplanes. Washington
Airport may be ideal eut for the larger
types Of transports 1t may not be suit
able under certain conditions"
There now are Federal regulations
prescribing minimum weather condi-
tions under which airplanes may oper-
ate along Federal airways, such as
minimum ceiling conditions at ter
minals en- route. It is proposed to
extend this idea further In the case
of Washington Airport.

w. Warner, jr., son Of the multi
millionaire retired Speedometer
manufacturer, described in detail
here the agony he suffered when
photographs brought to his ears
the voice Of his beloved, Jean
Macdonald, weeping for him as
her lost "love captive"
Warner was making a deposi-
ton in his $4,000 accounting suit
against Mrs. Pearl Antibus, a
private detective whom he had
engaged to learn whether Jean
loved Tommy or Tommy's papa's
money. Tommy finally decided.
largely as a result Of the dicto-
graph incident, that Jean really
loved him.
LEARNS "THE TRUTH"
The photograph scene, he said,
took place in a final, desperate
effort to learn the truth about
JEAN" In a room adjoining the
girls apartment, he sat with Mrs.
Antibus before a telephone. Ear
phones connected them with a
highly sensitive microphone next
door.
Tommy picked up the telephone
and called Jeans number, he said.
Then:
IT used a very brusque voice.
I said, Who is this you've been
running around with?' She said,
