Airport Chiefs Hope
To Reduce Delays in
Baggage Deliveries

/ National Airport and airline repre-
sentatives said yesterday that every
/ effort is being made to eliminate
the cause for complaint by incom-
\ ing passengers over unreasonable de-
lays in the delivery of their baggage
in the airport checkroom.
/ The capacity of the system which
delivers hand luggage from the air.
craft to the checkroom counters on
the main floor of the administra-
/ ton building is badly strained if
not overtaxed during peak hours
when several big four-engine air.
planes may be unloading simultane-
ously. One big DC-4 can bring in
as much as four tractor trailer loads
of baggage, and the two elevators OF
the delivery system have capacity
of only one truck each.
| Mail Gets Right of Way.
/ Another reason for delay, the air.
port management said. has been the
practice of some airline employees
who delivered mail to the Post Of
/ flee before hauling the baggage to
the, elevators for delivery upstairs.
/ The plane elevator deliveries
are made by individual airlines,
while the luggage is handled in the
checkroom upstairs by "skycaps"
employed by a committee repre-
senting all the ~airlines operating
into the National. Two "skycaps"
are regularly assigned to the ele-
vators on the busy daytime and
evening tours of duty, but on the
early morning trick the elevators
are operated when the need arises
by "skycaps" from the baggage room,
it was said.
Baggage Room Enlarged.
The service was improved some
what a few weeks ago when the bag
gage room space was enlarged, al
though the management feels that
it is not practical to install another
elevator. The annex to the admin
lstration building, which will provide
a 25O-foot extension to the south,
is to contain an additional baggage
room and freight elevators. Spokes-
men for the "skycap' committee
said continuous time checks are be-
ing made on baggage delivery and
that the average for the day is
about to 10 minutes. They ad-
mitted, however, that many pas
sengers had just grounds for com
plant and some are forced to wait
as long as 80 or 40 minutes when
facilities aresjammed by simultane-
GUS arrivals of large airplanes.
