Detroit-W yandotte Proposed as
Site for Airport Under Federal
Plan No,o Before US. Congress
Government to Match Local Expenditures
Dollar-for- Dollar in Proposed Program

Washington - Spurred by a rec
ommendation from President Tru-
man, Congress is expected to act
soon on the National Airport Plan
under which Detroit Wyandotte
has been proposed as the site for
a new $4,000 airport.
Meanwhile, airport planning en-
gineers, working in cooperation
with the Civil Aeronautics Admin
istration. are developing typical
plans for runways, hangers and
administration buildings which
might be used on the more than
5000 new airfields suggested in the
plan.
Under the proposal now before
Congress, the federal government
would match local expenditures
dollar-for- dollar for the develop
ment of airport sites. The CAA
estimates the total cost at $780,
600 900, half to be contrlouteo ny
the government.
Planning engineers agree that
the postwar airport should be lalo
out with an eye to attractiveness
as well as efficiency and safety.
For example, wartime development
IF fire-resistant lumber and ply
wood has made it possible tor
hangar designers to plan an attrac-
tive timber structure for the indl-
vidual plane which combines safety
with durability and inexpensive
construction.
High strength in lightweight
structures is obtained by laminat-
ing wood with new plastic cementS'
Fire hazards are minin1ized by the
use of wood made fire resistant by
impregnation with chemical
known as Minalith which will repel
even direct flames from blow
torch. The price Of these small
hangers is now estimated at about
$3.50. The same design principles
are today embodied in huge multi
plane hangers used by the Army
and Navy air arms.
The Civil Aeronautics Admins
tration foresees more than 100000
private and commercial aircraft
using the airports on the postwar
aviation map - sixteen times the
number of planes in the air before
the war.
