Plane Menace | abel
Is Given Abandoned
Silver Spring Tower
By J. B. Zotmon

A controversy over whether
500-foot abandoned radio tower
in Silver Spring is a menace to
low-f1ying airplanes has revealed
that the Civil Aeronautics Ad-
ministration is powerless to re-
quire the owner to keep warning
lights burning on the. structure.
Located about half-mile of
Old Bladensburg road near Whea-
ton, the towers warning lights
are frequently off at night, &C
cording to the CAA and at least
two nearby residents.
Arthur Katims, attorney for the
owner. the FIN Equipment Corp,
said the tower was erected in
1913 but was never used. He added
the corporation is engaged in ne
Igotiations for it's sale.
Although he refused to name
the firms officers, he identified
one of the stockholders as Theo-
dore Crank, who conducts the
American Forum of the Air"
Mr.. Katims insisted that burned
out lights are replaced as soon as
complaints are received, but he
commended the periods during
which the lights are out are few
and far between.
But a different story came from
Mrs. Madeline Allnutt, whose
house at GOT Gable street is about
200 yards from the tower, and
from Mark Reno, a Justice De-
partment attorney, of 11055 Old
IBladensburg road.
Since she moved there last De-
cember, Mrs. Allnutt said, she has
rarely seen the lights burning at
night on the steel framework.
I'm afraid a low-fying plane
will come over one of these nights
and crash into it," she asserted.
A similar fear was voiced by
Mr.. Reno, who said the lights are
frequently out since he began OBJ
serving the tower after he moved
there about year ago.
A CAA spokesman said the
agency has received about 10
complaints about the lack of lights
on the tower during the last two
years, but that it lacks authority
to require the owner to keep the
lights on.

Finders Keepers but Hotels Return Money Daily

, apparel. jewelry, watches, money
or whatever, is carefully classified
as to room number and name of
person last occupying room.
Many times lightning will strike
the guest and he will either return
or write for the article. But just
as often the hotel will start its
own hunt. There are instances
where all the people occupying a
room for three months are writ
ten before the lucky person is
found.
Hotels have their own policies
about the time they will hold
articles before giving up the
search. At the Shoreham, it's
three months; at the Mayf1ower
one month. The Ambassador will
keep valuable merchandise for a
year, let others go after three
months.
These establishments and many
Iothersturn unredeemed articles or
cash over to the finders at the
end of the grace period. In most
cases, the lucky ones are maids,
who leave no pillow unturned dur
ling the days chores.
Hotel men say the finders
keepers policy boosts morale
among employees.
Between IS and IS per cent of
the neglectful guests get their
belongings back, various hotels
estimated. Sometimes such val
uables as watches are never re-
turned. for they fall into some
niche in the room and may not
be recovered for a year or so
after the owner left it.
Hotels are cagy about the way
they notify potential owners. In
most cases. the person is required
to give a good description Of the
article claimed.
