Ldnphier Fdvors
Northwest Site

The Northwest airport site was
recommended Saturday by Col.
Thomas G. Lanphier. former Self
ridge Field commandant as the
site which would best serve De-
troit's future needs.
Just returned from three-year
tour Of duty as chief air intelh-
gence officer Of the u. s. Army
in Europe, Col. Lanphier has sur
veyed all sites proposed thus far
in the airport controversy. y
GEOGRAPHIC CENTER =
He made the study at the heA
quest Of the group Of businessmen
who originally proposed the North+.
west (8l2 Mile and Wyomingl4
site. which has been sidetrackedh
in favor Of the Wayne County
Airport. -,
Col. Lanphier's chief reason for,
selecting the Northwest site IS
that "it is almost the exact geo@
graphical center" Of the Detroit.
metropolitan area, and thus would.
be convenient to the greatest
number of people. 6.
TECHNICALLY IDEAL
'In technical factors, the site
Is almost ideal" Col. Lanphier
added. "Jt will afford runways /, /.
to accommodate the largest =
ships that will be flying for :.
years to come. II is free of =.
smoke and weather conditions =
that hinder landings and take
offs"
Arguing that the site is necess
-sary If Detroit Is TO receive tha
fullest possible aviation benefits,
he concluded:
Even If the airport were a.
nuisance from the noise. should
the shortsighted interest of the,
5000 people who are Opposingt
the Northwest site be allowed
to outweigh the basic economic
future of the 100000 othert
people who live here, all the .wayy
round from Monroe TO Port
Huron?"
