Air Industry Reports
Loss,
Larger Than in '46
BY the Associofed Press

Reporting an operating loss of
nearly 100000, 900 in 1947, the air
craft manufacturing industry ex-
pressed hope yesterday that a new
national air policy will halt "the
discouraging deterioration of air
power in the past two years"
Oliver P. Echols, president Of the
Aircraft Industries Association, said
in a year-end statement the losses
sustained by the Is major plane and
engine manufacturers this year will
be about one-fourth larger than in
1916.
The net loss after tax credits, he
said, will be more than double the
$l1 ,684 900 of last year.
Encouraging Factor" Noted.
Citing the recognition accorded
air power and the need for a
healthy industry as "the most en-
couraging factor" for 1948, Mr..
Echols said:

Macarthur Boulevard
Jurisdiction Studied

Montgomery County States At
torney Walter w. Dawson last night
said he would look into the police
jurisdiction dispute over whether
county authorities or the Army En-
gineerS can enforce the law on
Macarthur boulevard.
Assistant States Attorney Thomas
M. Anderson expressed the same
intention earlier i'll the day.
The question of who has juris-
diction over the Governmental owned
road was raised yesterday when
Trial Magistrate Warren Browning
of Bethesda Police Court said he
will dismiss any cases involving
miSdemeanorS on the boulevard
He considers that the Federal Gov
ernment has exclusive jurisdiction
over the boulevard. He said that
United States Commissioner F..
Archie Meatyard, jr., and counsel
for the Corps of Engineers here
supports his opinion. Judge Brown
ing said last night, however, that
the Army Engineers, under whose
authority the road comes, had
asked that county police help pa
troll it.
Montgomery County police will
follow a hands off" policy and
make arrests on the boulevard only
for serious crimes, according to
Bethesda Police Capt. James S.
McAuliffe. The county police will
patrol the road in the interest of
public safety until the question is
settled, but will make arrests only
for felonies or breach of peace -
Judge Browning said the Depart
ment Of Justice apparently has
never had any doubts about the
Governments exclusive jurisdiction,
for Congress passed a law limiting
speed on the boulevard to 25 miles
per hour.
Although the Washington District
Office, Corps of Engineers, has been
closed since Christmas and has
made NO official comment, Edwin

Secret Burch Report
Seen Stirring Fight
In Virginia Assembly
BY the Associoted Press

RICHMOND, Va, Dec. 27.-The
major points of what may develop
into one Of the liveliest legislative
topics of the 1948 General Assembly
will be considered here Monday at
meeting Of the As members of the
Burch Commission on Reorganiza-
ton OF the State government.
Recommendations of a nine-mem-
ber executive committee headed by
former U. S. Senator Thomas G.
BurQh of Martinsville, who is also
chairman of the commission, will
be submitted to the full member
ship.
Contents of the report, completed
at a session here early this month,
have not been disclosed. Nor is it
likely that either the committee re-
port or the commissions actions
will be made public Immediately.
The meeting, scheduled for 10
am. in the old Senate chamber at
the Capitol, will be an executive
session. Gov. Tuck is expected to
attend.
On the commissions findings,
Gov. Tuck will base his recommen-
dations for State governmental re-
organization to the 1948 assembly,
which will convene January IA.
Mr.. Tuck has indicated he will
reserve any announcement on re-
organization plans until he submits
his program in full to the legisla-
ture-probably in a special message
timed to reach the lawmakers about
week after the assembly opens.
Thus he will deliver at least three
major messages to the 1948 ses-
sion-a general report and recon-
mendations covering affairs of the
Commonwealth on the opening day,
and the budget message probably
on the following Monday.
The Governor, so far, has declined
to be drawn into speculation, on the
shape of any of his major legisla-
tive recommendations.
There have been indications that
he will not recommend any major
tax increases or new taxation, par
ticularly general sales tax such as
that proposed recently by the Moses
Commission to support public school
improvements.
On the reorganization plans, Mr..
Tuck has given a few general hints
that he will propose some major
consultations, mergers and other
streamlinings of the present sprawl
ing array of State departments, di-
visions, bureaus, boards, commits
sions and other agencies.
All OF these charges would be in
the name of economy and efficiency.
The governor has little hope, in the
face of rising costs and heavy de-
mands for expanded State services,
of actually reducing the total State
budget. He has pointed out, how
ever, that improvements can make
the taxpayers dollars 60 farther,
and that in this sense important
economies probably can be achieved.
Thus far Mr.. Tuck has been on
excellent terms with the legiSla
ture, and his recommendations
generally have been approved. 1t
appears that the 1948 version of the
Assembly will be, if anything, even
more in accord with the Democra-
tic reorganization and the Tuck
viewpoints.
Iot of
of the government, any mergers or
regroupings will involve rearrange-
ments of jobs and omceholders. The
latter are not without their con-
nections in the Assembly. So, the
seed of opposition and controversy
is present.
