Second Airport Vitol

II taere was any QOuDI IN any oIle iiliio
as to the urgent need for another national
airport in the Washington area, the Com
merce Departments report on air con-
gestion here should settle the question.
The report shows that air traffic using
the Washington National Airport already
has reached the Saturation point and
that during the next five years the con-
the saturation point.
The Civil Aeronautics Administration
long has been worried by the growing
amount of commercial traffic at the pres
ent airport. The recent series of accidents
at Gravelly Point accentuated the prob
lem. The tragedies also served to arouse
public concern and to bring pressure on
Congress for necessary legislation. Chair
man Johnson of the Senate Commerce
Committee has welcomed this public in
terest, for he was one of those who saw
the need for second airport long before
the tragic crashes occurred.
It was an airport bill introduced year
ago by Senator Johnson that prompted
the convincing report of the Department
of Commerce. The report disposes en-
phatically of suggestions that the present
airport be enlarged. Expansion of the
National Airport, the department points
out, would not solve the big problem of
separating the traffic patterns of the
civilian airport and of the nearby military
fields in Anacostia. Certainly any solution
that fails to deal with the hazards inherent
in such close proximity of the two types
Of flight operations is not a satisfactory
one. Anyway, the only direction in which
the National Airport could be enlarged
would be toward the river-and that would
encroach on river traffic in the channel.
The only sensible and safe plan is to
build an entirely new airport in nearby
Maryland or Virginia. The department
says that Andrews Field is regarded as
necessary to national defense, so proposals
to oust the Air Force and convert the field
into second civilian airport are out of
the question. Also disapproved are recon-
mendations by Marylanders that the new
friendship Airport, near Baltimore, be
used as an alternate terminal for Wash
ington.'
The best solution is that advocated by
the CAA-a big alternate national airport
on major highway convenient to WASH
1ngton. The construction of such an air.
port Is properly the responsibility of the
Federal Government, for neither the Dis
trict nor any of the nearby counties could
afford to finance such an undertaking.
The Nations Capital should have ade-
quate, safe airport facilities and it is the
responsibility of the Federal Government
TO see that they are provided before more
accidents occur across the river.

Rent Control Is Habit Forming

Chairman Mcmillan of the House Dis
trict Committee may be correct in his
belief that rent control will be required
in the District of Columbia for at least
another year. But that opinion should not
be accepted as fact without really thor
ough investigation of existing conditions
in Washington. And If the tremendous
amount of new residential construction
in Washington and adjoining counties
not subject to rent control-warrants
such action, then rent control on older
properties should be ended
Rent control is sort of opiate, neces-
sary in the treatment of emergencies, but
dangerously habit forming. 1t was wisely
lifted from new construction as an induce
ment to build and it has proved to be a
definite incentive. But the longer 1t is
permitted to apply to older properties the
more marked becomes the discrimination
against the owners of such property, Nor
hidden by law to exceed levels which other
rising costs in other lines of private enter
prise have left far behind. 1t is impossible
to escape the sinister suggestions in Sem
ator Sparkmans conjecture that rent
control in such cities as New York, Chi
cago, Los Angeles and parts of Connecticut
may always" be necessary But the
longer decontrol of rent Is del l1Bed, the

more fixed it becomes and the harder it
will be to get rid of.
The District Committee is well advised
in. beginning its consideration now of
whether to extend the local law. But that
consideration should include a careful
factual study of the market now, the
amount of new housing already added to
the supply in the past year and the
amount that will be furnished in the
twelve months beginning next June While
1t is undoubtedly advantageous in the
District to retain our own, separately
administered rent control statute as long
as control is necessary, final action on
local rent control could well be delayed
until Congress makes up it's mind on what
to do about extending national control.
Whatever policy is followed in lessening
such control for the Nation at large should
apply to local administration While an
emergency may continue to exist in the
District, it will be dangerous to regard it
as permanent fs9

Asleep at the White House

On October 25-more than three months
ago-the President signed the bill author
1zing three additional judges for the
Municipal Court. Since then nothing has
happened. -.
The undermanned and overburdened
court has been plodding along, getting
farther and farther behind in its work.
AS Chief Judge Barse pointed out last
month in his annual report, "it is obvious
that limited number of judges, even by
their best efforts, could not continue to dis
pose of progressively increasing amount
of business" Yet the business continues to
increaSe-10,000 more cases in 1949 than in
1948, an increase of 7 per cent. And at the
White House, where the power to correct
this situation resides, nothing happens.
The situation at Municipal Court does
not differ greatly from that within the
Public Utilities Commission. On that i'm
portant local agency, month after month,
vacancy has gone untitled. And mean
while Chairman Flanagan finds himself
sinking deeper and deeper into the hole
of unfinished business.
So far as The Star can find out, there
is no good reason why these appointments
have not been made. To the President, of
course, they are bound to be matters of
minor consequence. His time and energies
are occupied with questions of infinitely
greater Importance. But to the people of
the District, these long continuing vacan-
cies are matters of some moment. The
inaction, in all probability, is attributable
not to the President, but to faulty staff
work at the White House. Somebody there
is sleeping on these appointments. 1t is
to be hoped that the slumberer is not
another Rip van Wrinkle, who, we are told
slept for twenty years.

Mr.. Lewis On Free Men"

In his letter to President Truman, John
L. Lewis said that the mine workers are
free citizens in free country" and that
they have an inherent right" to pass upon
the considerations under which they will
work. The experience of Joseph Dickmon
shows just how "free" the miners really
are, just how destitute they are of the most
elementary rights of free citizens in a free
country.
Mr. Dickmon, a young Navy veteran,
married and father of child, wanted to
work five days week instead of the three
oecreed by Mr.. Lewis. He said that Mr.
Lewis was a dictator, and that the miners
should ignore his three-day week. He
wrote to Pittsburgh newspapers, pointing
out that Mr. Lewis is not starving"
For this he was haled before a meeting
OF his local branch of the United Mine
workers, and charged with violating a.
section OF the Mine Workers const. tuition
which forbids false statements" about
union leaders. Mr.. Dickmon's statement in
his letter was not false. John l.. Lewis en-
joys a salary from the mine workers of
$4,000 year. He definitely is not stary-
Ing. Was it false to say that Mr.. Lewis is
dictator? Mr.. Dickmon's local evidently
thought so, for he was adjudged guilty and
suspended for six months, which means
that he cannot work at his trade during
that time.
Other people may differ with that judg-
ment. 1t is perfectly clear that no individ-
Nal miner can openly oppose Mr.. Lewis
without penalty. Most of them probably
have no, desire to oppose him. But for
any who may wish to do SO, the experience
of Joseph Dickmon stands as lesson and
warning. Within the union, the power of
John L. Lewis is absolute. And he uses
that power, not only to crush opposition
within his union, but in an attempt to
impose his will on the people of the United
States.
It is in this power enjoyed by union
bosses, not in the Taft-Hartley Act, that
one finds real enslavement of the American
worker. Under the Taft Hartley Act, if the
mine workers were compelled to obey It,
Joseph Dickmon could not be expelled for
opposing Mr. Lewis. That is one reason why
Mr.. Lewis does not like the law. And it
may be hoped that the President of the
United States will remember the case Of
JOSIAH Dickmon when he again considers
