z Policemen; 7 Held
After SO-MPH Chase

Two men nearly ran down two
Montgomery County policemen
and were arrested after an 30
mile-an-hour chase through SOM
erSet when their car crashed into
a pole on Wisconsin avenue early
today.
Charged with reckless driving
were Jorge A. Zea, IS. of Cali,

According to testimony of Pvts.
James c. Stair and Frank E.
Fisher of Montgomery County
police. they stopped to investigate
a parked car on Springfield road
near the Kenwood Country Club
about 1880 am. They said Zea
and Bower were in the rear seat,
the doors were locked and the
windows were up.
Bower, they said, jumped into
the front seat, started the motor
and "gunned" the engine as he
took of at high speed. The police,
standing alongside, were nearly
knocked to the ground.
The two policemen chased the
car through three stop signs
across River road to Dorset ave-
nue. and down Dorset to the dead
end at Wisconsin avenue. There.
the police testified, the pursued
car passed a red light and was
unable to make right turn and
jumped the center island and
crossed the left lane before hitting
a curb, losing a wheel and crash
ing into a light pole.
The police cruiser also was un-
able to make the turn and jumped
over the center island. but was
brought to halt without damage.
Additional Charges Placed.
The policemen said Zea identi-
fled himself as the son of a diplo-
mat, but the Colombian Embassy
here disclaimed any knowledge of
the man.
Additional charges of exceeding
70 miles an hour, reckless driving,
passing a traffic light and passing
a stop sign were placed against
Bower. He was unable to make
bond. At first, Bower pleaded
guilty to the charges, but later
pleaded not guilty when the court
requested counsel for him.
Hearing date for both men was
set for July II.

Hinshaw Urges
.Abandonr11entof Of
Air Bases Here
Proposes New Military
Field in Plan to Ease
Traffic at National

Abandonment of Boiling Air
Force Base and Anacostia Naval
Air Station, transfer of Andrews
Air Force Base from military tc
civilian use and construction Of q
new military lairport in nearby
Virginia were proposed today as
new solutions to the congested air
traffic at National Airport.
Representative Hinshaw, Re-
publican. of California made the
proposal at a hearing before a
House subcommittee on legisla-
tion for a new civilian airport
near Washington.
|, Mr.. Hinshaw, an engineer by
profession and a member of the
House Commerce Subcommittee
conducting the hearing, said the
national interest demands that
air traffic be stopped at both Boil
ling and Anacostia fields.
Backed by CAA Head.
The subcommittee is consider
ing q Senate-passed bill and q
House bill for construction of a
new airport. The legislation was
championed before the committee
by Civil Aeronautics Administra-
tor D. w. Rented.
He estimated that II the flights
from Boiling and Anacostia, both
across the river from National
Airport, were to be abandoned, the
capacity for handling civilian air
traffic at National would be sub
stantially increased. probably by
IS per cent.
Mr.. Rented pointed out, how
ever. that the two military fields
were built long before National
Airport and that If there was any
fault, it lay in the selection of
the site for National Airport.
The National Airport is in the
wrong place, MIR. Rented said, be-
cause it would be difficult to en-
large 1t, the weather is bad along
the river and it was placed too
close to Anacostia and Boiling.
Called Too Close to City.
Furthermore, he said. National
is too close to the city and has
too many distractions.
Maj. Gen. Roger M. Ramey of
the Air Force said the Defense
Department was supporting legis-
lation for the new civilian airport.
Gen. Ramey said Andrews Field
is the principal military airport
in this area while Boiling and
Anacostia are used largely for
official travel and proficiency
training.
Several committee members
suggested that these uses of Boil
ing and Anacostia could be shifted
elsewhere.
Representative Ellsworth, Re-
publican, of Oregon suggested that
the military turn Anacostia and
Boiling to the use of National
Airport. Gen. Ramey said there
was space at Andrews Field for
some activities of Boiling and
Anacostia, but contended it would
be expensive to build the necessary
facilities at Andrews.
Baltimore Airport Cited.
Previous proposals that the over
flow Of congested air traffic at Ma
tional Airport be handled at the
new Baltimore Friendship Airport
also were discussed. Representa-
tive Wolverton, Republican of New
Jersey, said he thought that
Friendship Field could take care
of substantial overflow.
Mr.. Rented commented, how
ever. that he did not think that
was a complete answer to the
problem.
National Airport now is operat-
ing at a profit, Mr.. Rented said,
and may show a net of about
100000 for the current year. He
predicted that a second civilian
airport also would be able to op-
crate "in the black" within five
years after it is built.
