Two New Radio Beam,
Are Planned 10 Ease
Airport Congestion

Negotiations now are under way
for creation of two radio beams to
help relieve air traffic congestion at
National Airport, it was learned to-
day.
Numerous conferences have been
conducted by representatives of the
Army, Navy, Civil Aeronautics Ad-
ministration, the Airline Pilots As
sociation and the Air Transport As
ISOLATION. which represents the
commercial airlines of the country.
Under the plan, the two new radio
beams would be established to guide
aircraft near the airport.
Planes Are Stacked"
At present, commercial airlines
are guided here by number of
radio beams from practically all
points on the compass.
On arrival here, the planes, if
landing conditions are poor, circle
above the airport, one above the
other. The planes then are brought
down by radio instructions and, as
the lowest splane lands, the others
drop down.
Thus, the planes are brought in
one by one.
The new beams, it was pointed
out, will give additional guidance to
planes into the Washington area
and will help reduce stacking
planes over the airport by keeping
the planes just outside the airport
area until they can land.
One Over Herndon.
One of the proposed beams would
pass over Herndon just outside
Washington. The other would be
designed largely for the New York
area.
Airline officials, 1t was learned
are anxious to establish the beams
before winter to relieve congestion
both at LaGuardia Field, New York
and here.
A number of officials, both civilian
and military, said they didn't know
Of any negotiations for civilian
planes to use Andrews Field, at
Camp Springs, Md, as an auxiliary
field for National Airport, but said
this was not impossible.

The peacetime function Of Fort
Myer, once one of the Nations S
smartest and showiest Army posts,
will be combination primarily of
laundry, warehouse and housing de-
velopment for ranking officers.
Its activity was considerably slowed
down in 1912, when the Sd Cavalry
packed up and left, and again in
1914 when the wartime induction
center was closed.
Yesterday Col John j. Albright,
commanding officer Of Fort Myer,
said he has heard of no changes i'm
pending in the posts status and as
far as he know, it will continue in
definitely in its present role.
Found Things Wrong.
An inspection of Washington s
famed military reservation, COM
manded at one time by the late Gen.
Patton and also by Gen. VAIN
wright, revealed among other things:
The stables which housed as many
as $500 trim horses when the Sd
Cavalry was stationed there have
been converted into warehouses for
whatever the Quartermaster Corps
wants to put into them, and into
laundries.

Fort Myer Loses Military Snap
As Pedcetime Routine Sets In
Martial Echoes No Longer Ring on Post;
Its a Laundry, Warehouse Center Now

The spacious parade grounds
which once echoed with the crack
Of the polo players mallet, is pop
ulated only spasmodically during the
day by small groups of GIs drilling.
Made Into Courts.
The riding hall where horseman-
ship was exhibited to admirers from
all countries is used now, If at all,
as a basket ball court.
Stately beech and chestnut trees
still line the roadways and in gen.
eral the post is as beautiful and
immaculate as ever, but the CLAM
orous life has left it.
We're just service post now
said one officer as he propped his
riding boots onto his desk. 1--WE
house generals and do laundry.
That's about ALL"
There isn't even much evidence
OF uniforms on the streets. OF the
1900 personnel now stationed on
the post only a few are normally
seen at any one time.
Except for children playing on
the sidewalks and Army wives walk
ing to the PIX to do their days shop
ping, Fort Myer looks almost like
a deserted city.
In addition to its function as
laundry and commissary for Army
personnel In the Washington area
and general storehouse the post
quarters an MP battalion consisting
of about $50 officers and men.
1t also has a few horses left,
although 1t can no longer be classed
as cavalry post. There are about
go riding horses and II "grays," !"
horses used for drawing the caissons
at funerals.
With respect to funerals Fort
Myer is extremely active.
Seven Funerals a Day.
Maj. Cecil L. Propst, senior chap
lain at the post, says there is an
average Of seven funerals a day
In the post chapel, followed by
burial In adjacent Arlington Ma
tional Cemetery. Some days there
are as many as 13.
To help him he has two chaplains
and Is other assistants. The Army
chaplains do not. however, officiate
at all the funerals, as the cemetery
is for the deceased Of all the armed
services and their wives.
On the other hand, the chapel
sees only two or three christenings
week and three or four weddings
When the dead of this war are.
brought back, says Chaplain Propst,
he does not know how he can keep
up with committal services without
extensive outside help. And, as a
matter of fact, the cemetery, with
$1,000 dead, has room for only 5000
more, without expansion.
Established as. Fort Whipple, an
artillery post, in 1865, the fort later
served as signal corps headquar-
ters until 1881, when its name was
changed and the cavalry arrived.
Before the Sd Cavalry left, the
18th Field Artillery also had been
stationed there.
Socially the fort is tops. Such
high brass as Gen. Eisenhower and
Gen. Spaatz are among ranking Of
ficers who live in its sedate red brick
homes.
But about the only remaining
kinship with a military reservation
is the saluting gun, which barks
every evening at pm. the Official"
