to cope with a threatened gas
shortage next winter.
The industry men met with
officials of the Petroleum Ad-

which would cut of natural gas
to heat homes of additional Gus
toners, and require PAD approval
of any new "large-volume" Gus

No final action on the tentative
order is expected until early. next

Virginia Agency
Joins Studyof
AirportSite
Special Committee of
Legislative Council
Names Membership

A new agency moved into the
Burke Airport conflict today as
the Virginia Advisory Legislative
Council announced membership
Of its special committee to study
the establishment of an alternate
Washington airport in Fairfax
County.
The first function Of the new
committee will be to hold public
hearing at 10 pm. July 19 at Fair
fax on possible airport sites in the
county.
Members of the committee are
State Senator j. D. Hagood, chair
man: w. Marshall King, State
Corporation Commissioner; j. A.
Anderson, State Highway Commis-
sioner; Raymond v. Long, Division
of Planning and economic Devel-
opment; John r. Booth, mayor
elect of South Boston; State Sem
ator Andrew w. Clarke Of Alex
andria and Fairfax: Delegate Ed
win Lynch of Fairfax, and Dele
gate Armistead L. Boothe Of Alex
andria.
Mr.. Booth and Mr.. Lynch were
co-patrons of the House resolution
adopted in the 1850 General As
sembly authorizing the Legislative
Council to make the study.
Resolutions Provisions.
The resolution provided that:
1.-The Qegislative) Council shall
consider the suitability of all avail
able areas. the cost of construction,
and how the same may be fl
nanced, the administration and
operation of such an airport and
the revenues which might be de-
rived therefrom, and such other
matters as it deems appropriate.
The council is authorized to call
upon all officers, employees and
agencies of the State in making
this study"
The 4,500-acre Burke site which
the Government has selected for
Washington's alternate airport has
met strong opposition in the
county. The Board of Supervisors,
the Planning Commission, and
other county officers have pro-
tested the location to the Govern
ment, but so far without success.
State Senator Clarke, one of the
new committees members. said he
was delighted to find that the
State of Virginia is going to make
some study of the proposed Burke
site"
Questions Encr0achment.
''If there is any way the State
can prevent encroachment of the
Federal Government on States
rights. then the Commonwealth
should take some recognition of
it," he added.
Mr.. Clarke said he personally
felt it was unfortunate that Fair
fax County had been selected for
location of the airport because
about $4,000 acres in the county
already have been taken by the
Government for other Federal pur-
poses.
"The Burke site is an area of
the county that has recently been
made available for beautiful resi-
dental areas because of its loca-
ton near Shirley highway, and
because of the availability of
water in the area from the Vir-
ginia Water Co. trunk line from
Occoquan," Mr.. Clarke said.

are due to be brought up to date
