One of 48 Airline Passengers
Slept Through Crash Landing
s. Escape Injury
As Plane Is Brought
Down in Virginia
By m. Associated Pres.

RICHMOND. Va. July 90
Eastern Air Lines officials today
were investigating the crash land
ling near here of one of it's big
Consultations, in which the "a
passengers and five crewmen es-
capped injury.
The pilot, Capt. j. B. Armstrong,
Iof Miami, skillfully landed the
plane on its belly in a pasture
late yesterday after running into
engine trouble in a violent storm
Just south of Philadelphia.
The landing was so smooth that
one passenger said he slept
through it.
The passengers remained calm
as the craft skinned across the
grass, ripped through a small
fence and came to a stop near a
wooded area on a large estate Is
miles southeast of here.
The New York-to-M Miami Con-
stellation was not scheduled to
land at Byrd Field in Richmond
The control tower at the field re-
ported the pilot notified them
about 4 pm. that his No. 4 engine
was on fire and he was going to
set down.
The airline said tie plane was
not carrying any passengers from
the Washington area.
Flames licked up over a wing
tip after the plane came to a halt
in the pasture, but they caused
little damage. Airline officials
said the fire was caused by fric-
tion with the ground.
The passengers, including ]. H.
Brock, vice president of Eastern
Air Lines, had high praise for the
pilot. Mr.. Brock said:
Il don't think any of the
passengers knew we were going to
make an emergency landing.
And it was only after we had
bumped into the field and had
come to a stop that any of them
knew anything was wrong"
What spot for a landing, I"

Still Uncertain
Project Protested
At Hearing Before
Legislative Group

Efforts to block a new Wash
ington airport at Burke, Va,
were pressed by opponents of the
project today. but without pros
pect of immediate help from a
State committee investigating the
matter.
A seven-man subcommittee OF
the Virginia Advisory Legislative
Council heard a full day of argu-
ment on the project yesterday,
and opponents plan to present
more material in writing to the
group within few days.
They hope. the group will pre-
vail on the Virginia Assembly TO
intervene in the controversy.
Meanwhile. spokesmen disclosed
an attempt also will be made to
get Congress to change its mind.
But State Senator ]. D. Hagood.
committee chairman, said after
yesterdays hearing that his group
cannot meet again until August
II, in Richmond. Meanwhile, Fed
eral appraisers and surveyors
plus bulldoZers-already are at
work in the 4,500-acre Fairfax
County area in preparation for
land condemnation and purchase.
Three Witnesses Back Plan.
All but three of the II wit
nesses who appeared before the
committee yesterday indicated
strong disapproval Of the Con-
gress-authorized plan to convert
Burke to a major air terminal.
Two of the three proponents
were officials Of the Civil Aero
nautics Administration, in charge
of the project and responsible
for selection of the site.
They said the Burke location
is the best of six areas in the
county that were studied intens-
lively before the choice was made.
The lone resident who spoke in
favor of the plan. Lehman H.
Young of Fairfax, predicted
county property values will rise.
But none of more than 60 others
who crowded into the Fairfax
Courthouse responded when
Chairman Hagood asked II any
other proponents wished to speak.
Bitterest opposition centered on
the question of payment for the
condemned land. Mason Hirst,
veteran Fairfax real estate man,
referring to a Government esti.
mate of an average payment of
$500 an acre, asserted:
ut looks like we'll be held up
in broad daylight and robbed"
Some at S1,500 an Acre.
Declaring that some property
has sold recently for as high as
$500 an acre, he added:
THE worst acre OF land In
Fairfax is worth more than 5000
an acre"
Mr.. Hirst blamed people from
washington who don't know cow
from a bull" for the valuation esti-
mate. Herbert H. Howell. airport
project director, told the hearing
no figure has been definitely de-
termined yet, however.

|Curbs on Natural Gas
Would Ruin Heating
Trade, U. 5. Warned

The Government today had a
warning from the gas appliance
industry that q proposed Federal
order to restrict uses of natural
gas would bring the house. heat
ing industry to the verge of ruin.
A ban on use of natural gas
in any new home-heating units
as well as for some commercial
uses, is being studied by the Pc
troleum Administration for De-
fense to cope with a threatened
gas shortage next winter. The Or
ganization's officials contend the
threat stems from inadequate
steel for pipelines to carry the
gas from the Southwest.
Lyle C. Harvey, chairman OF
the Government Affairs Commit
tee of the Gas Appliance Manu-
facturers' Association, sounded
the warning at q hearing yester-
day on the proposal.
Urging the Government to con.
centrate instead on helping tt
get more pipeline steel, he de.
clared:
Even as a proposal, the PAD
tplan already has had a damag-
ing effect on the Nations sixth
largest industry. It's effect will
be ruinous to many thousands oil
people engaged in the produc-
ftion, distribution, retailing and
servicing Of gas appliance anc
equipment"
Called Blow at Defense.
Mr.. Harvey also said such an
order would usurp the authority
of State service commissions, and
would strike at the defense pro-
gram as well as curtail building
of some essential dwelling units.
c. P. Rather. assistant deputy
petroleum administrator, told the
industry any order issued would
be temporary, and will be con-
sidered Monday by PADS Gas In
dustry Advisory Council before
any decisions are made.
mo one is trying to set up a
regulatory body he de-
|clared.
In another gas development,
meanwhile, Senator Humphrey
Democrat, of Minnesota criti-
cized a new Federal Power Com
mission ruling, in an apparent
difference of opinion with Presi-
dent Truman.
Doubts Link to Veto.
The FPC two days ago ruled
against Federal jurisdiction over
rates charged for natural gas by
the Phillips Petroleum Co., a major
natural gas producer.
Mr.. Truman said yesterday he
did not think the ruling had any
connection with his veto last year
OF the Kerr natural gas bill. That
measure. sponsored by Senator
Kerr. Democrat, of Oklahoma
would have denied the commission
authority to regulate rates charged
by gas producers.
Senator Humphrey charged the
FPC action means I'VE have the
Kerr gas bill by administrative
indifference" He said the FPC
was way off base if it did not act
to regulate rates."
FPC officials said their, opinion
would "outline the situation fully
and refused speculation about
effect of the ruling on natural gas

Ferguson Hints
AtCon1pron1iise
In D. {. Cuts
Is Ready to Agree
To Exceptions in Move
To Curb City Hiring
By Don S. Warren

Senator Ferguson, Republican,
of Michigan, said today he still is
fighting for economies in the hir-
ing of District government per-
sonnel, but is ready to agree to
"some exceptions"
Economy cuts in personnel were
considered along with other city
government budget items at an
executive meeting today of the
Hill subcommittee of the Senate
Appropriations Committee.
The group did not complete its
markup of the 1852 supply bill
and will meet again at $50 am.
tomorrow.
Senator Hill, Democrat, of Ala
bama. chairman, said the sub
committee made good progress TO-
day and he thought it could finish
Its work tomorrow.
Favors Full Payment.
Senator O'Mahoney, Democrat,
of Wyoming. told reporters he
thought Congress should grant no
less than the full, authorized $12
million as the Federal share of
District costs. He and other sub
committee members are preparing
to restore the $l2 million cut in
the payment made by the House.
Senator O'Mahoney, several
years ago. sponsored plan for a
formula to determine the size of
the Federal share. This would have
increased the amount of the Fed
eral payment in relation to total
city government cost.
City Water Use Cited.
II feel that the Federal Govern
ment should grant not less than
$11 million for the general fund"
said Senator O'Mahoney. The ex-
ira 81 million is earmarked for
payment for the city water used by
Federal agencies.
Nothing ever has been pre-
sented," the Wyoming Senator
said, ito refute the reasoning in
the report filed some years ago by
the subcommittee when I was
chairman.
'The cost Of maintaining Gov
ernment activities in the District
continues to increase and the pay
ment meanwhile amounts to a.
much smaller share than it was
for many years. The least we can
do is to appropriate the au-
thorized full sum-" he said.
Senator Ferguson told report
ers he now was trying to hold
down the outlays for city govern
ment jobs to the basis of the 1851 |
fiscal year.
He did not specify what would
be covered by the exceptions he |
is willing to approve from an
economy personnel cut. Earlier
he had indicated this would in
clude teachers and hospital at
tendants and perhaps some other
groups.
Additional Employees Sought.
For the 1852 year the Commits
sioners had asked GIL additional
employees. The House granted
funds for only 10 per cent of this
number. Roughly, then, it ap-1
peared that Senator Ferguson
was seeking to keep the job costs
down to about what the House
granted.
However, there were indications
that the Hill subcommittee has
agreed to restore a good part of
extra personnel money requested
by the Commissioners for the
Police Department to permit It to
continue generally on a flve-day
work-week basis.
Under this system volunteers
are paid for working sixth day
of the week. The Commissioners
said they needed $353,0O0 to con-
tinue this plan. One report was
that the Senate subcommittee
probably will recommend most of
such a sum.

An oral motion had been made by
the plaintiff today.
The defense counsers motion to
dismiss the case because it was
so trivial was overruled by Judge
Myers. he urged as little delay as
possible, however, commenting
that while the suit might be big
in principle it still was for a small
amount.
Mr.. Chernoff's counsel told the
court he had received a number
of letters from transit riders sup
porting his position in the suit.
Mr.. Chernoff said he filed the
suit July 5 as matter of principle
He said he believed the pass should
have been sold on a pro rata basis
to allow for the three days
transit riders went without serv-
ice here. He noted at the time he
filed suit that the company had
