Safety Chief Concern
Al New Airport,
Meeting Is Told
GroveIIy Point Aide
Describes Features
Being Developed

Concern for safety has guided the
entire development of the Wash
ington National Airport at Gravelly
Point. Thomas G. Early, admins
trative assistant to the Washington
National Airport Commission, de-
clared last night.
Mr.. Early, speaking in place of
Col Sumpter Smith, chairman of
the Interdepartmental Engineering
Commission, constructing the air.
port, who was showed in at New
York City, spoke to members of the
Washington Safety Society in meet
Ing at the Government Printing
Once assembly room.
You will recall" he said, "that
this concern for safety began with
President Roosevelt's anxiety over
the present airport" Mr.. Early then
traced the development OF the
Gravelly Point airport site.
Safe From Foundations.
"The very foundations Of the
airport are safe," he said, describ-
ing the method Of construction, in
volving the laying of gravel on gravel
rather than mud to insure solidity
OF the runways.
Mr.. Early further pointed out that
the airport buildings as planned are
all grouped within an area about
one-tenth the airport's entire cir
cumference and in the lee of Fort
Scott Hill, so that they do not con-
stitute an additional hazard.
In Operation in September.
He said that dredging operations
had been completed December 30,
the runways would be finished by
July 4, and the entire airport should
be in operation by Labor Day.
Mr.. Earlys talk was illustrated
with lantern slides showing the
segregation of traffic, both vehicular
and pedestrian, to and from and
within the airport site. He explained
that traffic into the airport would
be segregated as soon as it left
Mount Vernon boulevard by means
OF Glover leaf grade separations.
Even to the river ITSELF" Mr..
Early said, 1--WE have sought to pre-
serve safety. The outer dyke of the
retaining wall around the airport
fill has been made to slope into the
water like beach, so that small
craft can come in without danger
OF being thrown against bulk
head"
Safety for Flyers.
He said the Washington National
Airport would be as safe from the
flyers point of view as any COM
parable airport in the world and
that it would eft in beautifully with
the character of Washington's sur
roundings."
Questioned as to safety problems
involving actual construction of the
airport, Mr.. Early referred the ques-
ton to member of the Safety So
clety, R. w. Hicks, who Is District
OF Columbia safety inspector in the
United States engineers Office. Mr..
Hicks, who said three men had lost
their lives through work incidental
to the airport, declared that the
record was exceptionally good" in
view of the unusual working condi-
tlons at Gravelly Point.
William T. Cameron, president of
the society, presided at the meeting
and introduced Mr.. Early.
