Civil aviation is in an uproar
over a proposed switch-over July
l from statute measurements to
nautical miles and knots.
The opposition to the change
raised its voice at an all-day Civil
Aeronautics Board hearing Thurs
day. For one thing. pilots object
ed that the change would be con-
fusing and dangerous.
The Air Co-ordinating Commit
tea Federal inter-agency or
ganization in the aviation field
decided late in 1949 that the cur
rent system of measuring speed
and distances in statute miles and
miles per hour should be discard
ed July /, 1852. so far as air travel
is concerned.
Navy Flyers Use System.
The decision came after the Air
Force announced that it wished
to change to the nautical system.
to which 1t had been slowly con-
verting for several years. in order
to conform with the practice of
other nations.
Navy flyers have been using the
nautical measures all along.
The CAB decreed that civil
aviation should 60 along in order
to avoid a double standard.
A statute mile is $3.50 feet,
whit q nautical mile is about g.
080. A knot is measure of speed.
meaning one nautical mile per
hour.

Airline Heads, Pilots Fight Plan
} To Shift to Nautical Measures

| The CAB hearing was ordered
after belated protests against the
change began to pile up.
Calls Change Dangerous.
Robert c. Robson, veteran
American Airlines pilot, called the
change dangerous.
He said that with modern trans
ports 1t is not simply a case of re-
membering one new speed, but
many - stalling speed, cruising
speed, holding speeds and instru-
ment approach speed, to name a
few.
Mr.. Robson said that use of
strange air-speed indicators re-
duceS the confidence of the pilot
in his ability to fly the airplane
at the proper speed and leopard
ICES the safety of passengers.
He said that the fact that the
nautical dial indicates slower
speeds than pilots are accustomed
to is especially dangerous in emer-
gencies connected with takeoffs
and landings.
Airline Head Is Critical.
Carleton Putnam. founder and
chairman of the board of Chicago
e. Southern Airlines. argued that
manufacturers will find it imprac-
tical to advertise the speed of their
product in knots.
"Lockheed will not state the
speed OF its first jet transport as
$50 knots when it can state it as
670 miles an hour" he said.

it is $40 statute miles by automo-

Ban on County Jobs
For U. 5. Employees
Irks Arlington Official

Robert w. Cox, Arlington
County Board chairman, ha!
taken the stump" to acquaint
county residents with the prob.
lens raised by a court decision
barring Federal employees from
holding local Office in Virginia.
He told members of the Fair
Ilington Civic Association last
night that he has addressed Il
civic organizations since the deci-
sion was announced on May S
The ruling was handed down by
Arlington Circuit Court Judge
Walter T. Mccarthy.
An appeal filed with the Vir-
ginia Court of Appeals will be
heard during the week Of June
10 in Richmond.
Ruled Employe Ineligible.
Judge Mccarthy ruled, in a sui
filed by six taxpayers, against
Alan L. Dean, a Federal employe
elected last November to the Ar
Ilington County Board. He sale
an old Virginia law forbids Fed
eral employees from holding loca
office. He also ruled that a Law
enacted in 1928, exempting Ar
lington from the ban, was uncon
stitutional.
The legality of Mr.. Cox's cleo
ton is in question because he is
Federal employe.
A third board member, DAME
A. Dugan, was elected when 6
Federal employe, but he now is IL
business for himself. His tenure
also may be in doubt. The three
represent a non-partisan majorit,
on the five-member board.
"It appears to be a perfectl!
ridiculous situation when abou
half of the people of Arlington
County cannot be eligible to hole
public Office" Mr.. Cox declared.
! "Our political opponents are il
a box. It appears that the public
| in general feels there is something
unfair about this situation" HI
did not elaborate on this remark
Sees Judge Filling Posts.
Mr.. Cox raised the possibilit!
THAT the same Judge who decided
the court test in Arlington "coule
fill the vacancies created through
this year and all Of 1885,"
Should the appeals court uphold
the local court. it would be highly
unlikely that legislation correct
ling the situation could be enacted
at a special session of the Vir'
ginia General Assembly this year
Mr.. Cox said.
/ He argued that legislators from
areas outside Northern Virgins
are not favorably inclined towart
Federal Government workers.

Public Heariinq
Delay in Treating
Water Is Urged So
Experts Can Testify

A group of Washington resi-
dents started a drive today fol-
a public hearing on the contro-
verSy over f1uoridation of the water
supply.
Organizing as an incorporated
Citizens Committee on Flourida-
tion. the group wrote to the Com
miSSionerS urging that the water
treatment program be postponed
until medical authorities and
others have a full opportunity to
express views.
Miss Vera E. Adams, the presi-
dent, said the committee was in
corporated last week by about a
dozen private citizens. 1t hopes
to become rallying ground for
other District residents who want
more information about f1uorida-
ton before they approve or OBJ
ject to it's use, she explained.
Object to Handling.
"Our group is not opposed to
the use of f1uorides to prevent
tooth decay in children" she said,
But we do not like the way this
matter has been handled without
any chance for District people to
do anything about it.
"Our drive may be something
like the citizens protest in the
case of the bus radio broadcastS.
In this instance we want the facts.
It's not question of f1uoridation
as such. It's the principle of the
thing. Somebody has got to draw
the line against forcible paternal-
ism"
The committee has no formal
headquarters except the Office ad-
dress of its secretary, Mrs. Edith
j. Lee at 1101 Massachusetts, ave-
nue. NV. Interested persons
were urged by Miss Adams and
Mrs. Lee to communicate with
them there.
The committee now consists of
about a dozen members but al
ready is receiving promises of
support from others, Miss Adams
said.
Congress has appropriated funds
for fluoridating the Districts
water supply. The Commissioners
approved the project without pub
lie hearings. At House committee
hearings last February and March
there were wide differences of
opinion about the value of f1uori-
dation in a public water supply.
Urge Public Hearings.
The letter to the Commission
ers today declared that compre-
henSive public hearings should be
arranged if only to determine
whether fluoridation might be in
furious to some adults.
Due to evidence of public con-
cern over a program, the results
of which are definitely uncertain,
as expressed in newspaper COM
ment and elsewhere, the Citizens
Committee on Fluoridation is ap-
pealing for an early public hear
ing on the subject" the letter
stated.

The snowballing panty raids
spread across the Nation from
Maine to California today despite
efforts by some co-eds, police and
college authorities to stymie them.
Many of the latest forays were
all in fun but others wound up
in violence.
The worst brawl last night was
at the University of Oklahoma
where a demonstration labeled a
'lust for lace" ended in an egg
tossing riot.
And at the University Of Geor-
gia students were routed by tear
gas and bombs after hurting rocks
and eggs at police patrol cars.
The strange fad, in which COL
lege boys invade women's dormi-
tories and sororities in search of
undergarments, began several
weeks ago but became widespread
this week.
40 Schools Affected.
Since Sunday undie Sorties have
occurred at more than 40 schools,
many Of them large universities.
In the Oklahoma wrangle at
Norman last night, about 1000
male students made off with
lingerie loot from 16 women's
dormitories.
The crowd got out of hand and
local officers called on State troop
|ers and police from three nearby
towns for help. The panty -pilfer-
ing lark turned into an egg throw
ing battle after officers tried per-
suasion, tear. gas and finally high
pressure hoses.
Twelve students were arrested.
DR.. George L. Cross, Oklahoma
president, called it a disgrace,
adding:
II was fearful after reading Of
such incidents at other colleges
but kept hoping our students were
a little more stable, a little more
sophisticated. I'm deeply
ashamed of what happened"

Smith Will Ask House
TO Rebuff Committee
And Grant 5c Gas Tax

Representative Smith. Demo-
crat, Of Virginia. Monday will try
to get the House to grant the
Districts plea for a higher gaso-
line tax.
The House District Committee
yesterday turned down a penny
per gallon increase. But Repre-
sentative Smith said he will seek
to have the committee overruled
on the House floor when the bill
comes up Monday. Some other
committee members are expected
to support him.
The committee, by an 8-to-7
vote. recommended keeping the
tax at the present 4 cents. Dis
trict officials Immediately warned
this would cost the city over $1.25
million year and seriously hurt
the projected $40 million high
way program.
Opposition Is Negligible.
Virtually no opposition to the
increase was expressed at public
hearings. But Chairman McMil-
Ian said some committee men,
bers felt the increase should wait
until there is some relief from
other taxes.
Representative Smith has been
sponsoring the penny increase in
the House. The Senate already
has approved it.
The tax actually is scheduled to
drop to 3 cents July unless Con-
greSs acts.
Brig. Gen. Bernard L. Robinson,
the Districts Engineer Commits
sioner, said failure to get the s.
cent tax would delay several prior
ity projects in the new road-build-
ing program.
These include the East Capitol
street bridge. the New York and
South Dakota avenue connections
with the Baltimore Washington
parkway, and the Southwest Free
way. Gen. Robinson said. Work
on the bridge is scheduled to start
this summer.
"Keenly Disappointed"
Gen. Robinson said: Were GER
tainly very keenly disappointed
that the committee did not see fit
to allow the people of Washington
to spend their money for improve
ments they have demanded"
The action would prevent the
District from obtaining some Fed
eral aid matching funds, in addi-
tion to cutting available tax
money. the general said.
Commissioner F. Joseph Dono-
hue called the committee action
another reason for home rule"
Gen. Robinson emphasized that
even with the tax increase the city
still won't have enough money for
the entire road program. With
the scent tax, there would be a
shortage of $50 million. Without
it. the shortage would be about
$18 million more, he said.
A special Citizens Committee
now is devising a way to provide
the extra funds-possibly a bor-
rowing program.
"We're in bad fix as it is, even
with the tax increase" Gen. Rob-
inson said. "And without it, the
situation is hopeless"
