say no" One barber commented:
1T takes more time to cut bald

Stack Problem
Cited in Support
OF AirportBi||
Senote Group Studies
Measure to Let U. 5.
Condemn Aerial Space

Plans Of the Braddock Light a.
Power Co. to build 190-foot smoke
stacks on the new plant in Alex
andria near Washington National
Airport were cited by witnesses be-
fore a Senate subcommittee today
in support Of a bill empowering the
Government to acquire rights to
air space near Federal airports.
George Burgess. deputy admins
traitor of the Civil Aeronautics Ad-
ministration, and former Repre-
sentative Ramspeck, Democrat. of
Georgia, executive vice president
of the Air Transport Association,
discussed the smokestack problem
with the subcommittee headed by
Senator Brewster, Republican, of
Maine.
Mr.. Burgess admitted work on
the Alexandria power plant has
proceeded SO far that it would be
expensive for the Government to
acquire by condemnation rights to
the air space above the project.
Refers 1t to Alexandria.
1--WE would have to buy their in
vestment to date" Mr.. Burgess
testified.
Mr. Burgess said the stacks will be
about 40 feet above "our minimum
level" Mr.. Ramspeck, asked by
Chairman Brewster if the problem
has gone beyond solution, replied:
L wouldn't say no solution is
possible. 1t would be possible to
use lower stacks if the city of
Alexandria would let them"
Witnesses testified that lower
stacks would create a smoke nui-
sance and hazard from fumes.
II the pending legislation had
been on the books, Mr.. Ramspeck
said, the CAA could have acquired
clear rights for air travel in the
space above $50 feet before the
power company started work.
Official Expresses Indecision.
One CAA official said off the
stand that the agency has not
decided how far it would 20 in
using the power in the bill. If
passed, in dealing with the Alex
andria situation.
Chairman Brewster wanted to
know whether, from a legal stand
point, Alexandria could proceed
against the Government for the
smoke nuisance if it forced lower
stacks by acquiring rights to the
air space above $50 feet.
Witnesses agreed with the Sem
ator that such situations near air.
ports will develop new problems for
the courts.
The testimony indicated that the
smokestack hazard in this case
would interfere with the use of the
National Airport in foggy weather.
Stresses Importance in War.
Chairman Brewsters commented
that "all-weather flying" is the key
to the future of aviation and that
1t would be. serious matter to have
Washington cut off from air trans
portation in foggy weather.
Mr.. Ramspeck told the committee
that the public interest in WASH
ington National Airport Is even
greater than in any other airport,
especially because of its Importance
in time of war.
The hearing ended at noon and
the subcommittee took the measure
under advisement.
