spot checks by the Civil Aeronautics
Administration indicate airports tend
to increase, rather than depress, land
values and land utilization in their
areas.
National Airport. with its s 500 EN-,
ployes, is one Of Washington's big

expansion of residential areas near

The men now toiling around the
clock to make sense out Of the wreck
age, fear and confusion at Elizabeth,
N. j., are up against one of the
toughest jobs Of their careers. They
know they must produce some logi-
cal answers, or the whole commercial
aviation industry win suffer along
with the victims Of the three disas-.
ters. Yet the series of Newark Air
port accidents in the last two months
appears to defy q logical approach.
Federal, State and local investi-
gators have uncovered nothing to link
the crashes, with their death toll of
118, to any common cause-nothing
to suggest that they were anything
more or less than q colossal coinci-
dence. The one immediate an
swer, the closing of Newark Airport
Monday, was purely local in scope,
and probably temporary in effect.
In the Same Boot
The Understandable near-panic at
Elizabeth has spread to densely pop
ulated communities around the great
complex Of airfields operated by the
Port of New York Authority. inelud-
ing La Guardia and Idlewild. Po-
htical leaders are being prodded to
demand the removal of heavy traf-
fic terminals to far outlying districts.
Nor is this mood confined to New
York. More than 60 important cities
have airports as near their. residen-
tial areas as Newark Airport is to
Elizabeth.
But it seems most unlikely, when
the tumult and shouting is over,
that the considered solution will be
simply to Danish airports to the him
terlands. Even at Elizabeth, a more
moderate view may eventually pre-
vail. The loss to the community OF
over 1000 jobs and an annual pay
roll Of more than $40 million, as a
result of closing the airport. is only
one proof Of the extent to which
commercial aviation has become an
integral part of our National econ
omy.
In other words. the passenger air
plane is here to stay-but only so long
as terminals can be provided with

ton centers. At present more than

100000 persons are employed at some
40 major airports near enough to
traffic generating centers to operate
efficiently.
Driving Time Counts
Thirty to 40 minutes of driving
time from downtown sections is
about the outside limit for successful
airports. Beyond that. an airport's
business volume tends to fall off.
Moreover, residential areas tend to
follow big airports when they are
located well out in the country.
Community centers spring up, natur-
ally enough, when jobs are nearby
and highway and other facilities
have been improved.
Denver is a. case in point. When
Stapleton Airport was built with q
view to relatively uninhabited, un-
impeded approaches, real estate men
were advised not to develop COM

NATO, says Gen. Eisenhower, Is
like can of worms, with one thing
wriggling loose as fast as another
settles down. Right now, the biggest
worm in the can is on a rampage
which threatens to delay much of the
progress that had been expected from
the Lisbon meeting of the North At
lantic Treaty Organization Council,
scheduled to open next Wednesday.
The biggest worm. of course, is the
age-old French German wrangle.
Until recently there was high hope
that NATO could work out three Spe-
cif1c problems at Lisbon: /. It's
relation to the new six-nation Euro
pean Defense Community. which had
agreed to provide an international
army as one component of the
all NATO defense forces. 2. Yearly

munity defense buildup. 8. Stream,

policy making bodies, which are
tripping over themselves and COM
plicating Gen. Eisenhower's job. .
Only Tentotiye Progress
! Now. however. the German French
fiare1p takes away most of the mean4
ing of any action which may be taken
on either of the first two points.
NATO can make only the most tenta-
tive plans, SO long as there is a
question whether the important
European defense force can be Or
ganized.
Administration Of the coal-rich
Saar basin touched off the present
French German dispute. as 1t has so
many previous ones. The French are
administering the territory tempo
rarily until its status can be settled
in a final peace treaty. Recently the
French announced they were elevat-
ing their administrator to the rank
of ambassador. The Germans imme-
diately sensed a plan to wean the
Saar away permanently. Recrimina-
tons have been flying back and forth
across the Rhine ever since.

Letter To The Editor

To The Editor:
Fiat currency is paper money
like they have in China today. It
is printed money with nothing be-
hind it except the printing press.
To be specific, it is paper cur
rency of government issue which
is made legal tender by fiat or
law, and which does not repre-
sent, or is not based, on specie and
contains no promise of redemp-
ton.
Our currency of today is GER
tainly fiat currency.
Congress has authorized the is
suance of Federal Reserve notes
against government bonds. This
,, was done the first time in the
history of our nation during the
Roosevelt administration and has
been kept in practice ever since.
Government bonds are govern
ment debts. The debt itself has
been made the basis for the is
suance of paper currency. That
currency itself is an obligation of
the government; it, too, is gov
eminent debt.
Congress has specifically auth
orized the issuance of Federal Re-
serve notes, based on government
debts and such notes are not con-
vertible into coin. Thus Congress
has authorized fiat money.
The result? In 1880 we had
shout four billions in circulation.
Today we have nearly 30 bill
lions. Does this debased currency
mean anything to you? Do you
wonder with this situation, that
your printing press dollar buys so
little?
Your government has erected a
paper currency monster-a Frank
enstein-one which may readily
be built. but cannot readily be de-
stroyed.
