HouU About Airport.

AS I recall, The Times pub
lished several months ago a
statement by the air line pilots
that the Washington Airport
was unsafe and they would not
fly in and out Of there.
But every day the planes land
and take off. If the airport is so
unsafe, as the pilots claim, then
why are the lives Of persons en-
dangered each day?
It is to be hoped that after
months of study and discussion,
the new Congress will reach
some conclusion about the air
port. A. I. RADIN.
