Plan 10 Cut Dangers
And Noises Of Airport,
By ChorIes J. Yorbrouoh

A plan to reduce the annoyance
and exposure factors of the Ma
TONS airports was proposed to
the Doolittle Commission today.
The commission, headed by 1t.
Gen. James H. Doolittle, was ap-
pointed by President Truman after
three high-fatality transport
crashes in New Jersey. Its pur-
pose is to study air transport
safety and airport problems, par
ticularly. in densely-populated
areas.
Today's 10-point proposal looks
at the problem along that line.
1t was submitted Jointly by the
Civil Aeronautics Administration
Airports Advisory Committee, the
Airport Operators Council and
the American Association of Air.
port Executives - all civilian
groups.
Practical Steps Sought.
Generally, the resolution seeks
adoption by the entire aviation
community of practical steps
which will improve the relation
ship between airports and their
adjacent communities"
Specifically it asks:
l. Establishment of a maximum
noise level for aircraft, even
reaching to engine manufacturers
2. Proper zoning regulations tc
provide for the protection of air.
port approach and departure
channels. To this end it proposed
Federal Government financial
participation up to IS per cent
for additional alnd extending from
Ithe ends of existing airport run
ways to remove buildings and
other hazards.
Runway Re-Shuff1e.
8. Use of preferential runways
so that landings and takeoffs are
over the least built-up areas. Ad-
tional airport construction was
proposed for some fields to make
possible diversion of more all
traffic away from built-up areas
4. Installation of additional
radio, radar and lighting aids.
The resolution stated fatty that
lit is impractical to relocate civil
arports or to make any major
change in existing airport con-
If1gurations."
It urged that the military "oc-
Icupy civil airports only as needed
and coordinate their use so as
not to interfere with civil use OF
the airport and not increase the
traffic exposure of the surround
ing area"

Labor Unity
OF AFL.-CIO
Seems Likely

WASHINGTON R - Like tide
regularly creeping up the beach
of American labor, and as regu-
larly receding, there has been re
curing talk of AFL-CIO unity for
more than a dozen years.
1t now seems to have reached
highwater mark. George Meany.
AFL's new president, in very con.
ciliatory tones has suggested a
merger. And the CLOS new presi.
dent, Walter Reuther, is going to
discuss it with him.
Meany's approach Is different
from the condescending manner of
the AFL's late president, william
Green. When Green suggested
unity, he told the CIO to "return
to the house of labor."
Meany and Reuther have both
said they would step aside if that
was necessary.
Most Of the unions which make
up the AFL and CIO are not in
direct rivalry with one another.
But some are.
Mixed in with the problem of
leadership and rivalry as a STUN
bling block to unity is the old
question of jurisdiction: just what
union has the right to claim what
kind Of workers. For example:
Reuther's own union, the CIO
United Auto Workers, claiming
], 1,40O, 900 members, has not only
organized workers in the giant
auto industry but has organized
many in the aircraft industry too.
There it has run head on into
AFL's machinists union (about
100000 members), which has also
claimed the aircraft workers as
its province. To stop raiding each
others members, those two unions
have worked out an agreement:
Where one of them has already
organized a plant, the other stays
out. But where a new and unor-
ganized plant springs up, In both
60 to sign up members.
Clothing is good example of
an industry where two big unions
might be able to live comfortably
side by side in a merged AFL-CIO.
Those two unions are the CLOS
Amalgamated Clothing Workers
and the AFL's international Ladies
Garment Workers.
So long as the garment union
sticks to signing up workers who
turn out women's wear and the
amalgamated confines itself to
workers producing mems wear,
they should be able to do all right.
The AFL, which claims Sla mil
lion members, has 100 unions. The
CIO, claiming between five and
six million members, has SO un-
ions. There is plenty of rivalry
among those 142 unions.
If it had been left to the rank
and-file members of both organi-
cations, AFL and CIO, there prob
ably would have been a merger
long ago. It's the men at the top
who have to reach the agree
mentS.

(CHRISTMAS GIFT by Margaret
! Cousins, eight Christmas stories,
219 pages, Doubleday and Co.,
New York City,
Margaret Cousins is the editor
of Good Housekeeping and her
stories first appeared in that ma
gazine, in American, Cosmopoli-
tan, Ladies Home Journal and Nc
Calls. Their particular brand of
peace and good will is gift wrapped
for the slick magazines.
The situations are neatly plotted,
and the endings are happy. The
characters fit within the taboos of
the first mediums of their publi-
cation. Even when Miss Cousins
handles a safecracker, a carnival
barker who deserts his family, and
a petty thief who plays Santa
Claus, they have no dash of Mickey
Spillane or Dostoevsky in their
criminal antics.
And of course the smell of cedar
and the sight of the baubles on the
tree In Rockefeller enter dis
solves the wickedness of these
fellows. For the Yuletide at least
they revert to the pattern of kind
ness associated with the birth lay
Of the Christ.
All the old types and situations
delightful to the slick magazines
are in the stories.
In the first one, "The Home
made Miracle" all the Main Street
types are brought to a church in
Our Town on Christmas eve, They
are the maiden lady, the clergy
man, the young lovers, the bride
of a year, the harassed mother,
the school teacher and the dog
and cat.
Immediately preceding the ga
thering near the tree, there is a
point counter-point description Of
the problem Of each character. A
very small accident in the church
sets in motion a train Of incidents
which solve all their problems in
a manner only possible IN heaven
and the slicks.
In Gideon, the hero Of "Small
World" there is the American
business man engrossed IN his
work and neglecting his family. To
give him a Yuletide touch, Miss
Cousins imposes on him q lonely
Christmas and some Of the quail
ties Of Scrooge. He is the man i'm
mersed in his work. building the
worldwide network Of his business
and forgetting love In the process.
Then there is that situation-de-
light Of the women's magazines,
the grandmother whose children
have grown up and left her alone.
Entitled "A Baby Sitter for Christ
mas" the problem of the prota-
gonist Is solved to the tune Of a
white Christmas. and two children
who aren't her grandchildren.
A mid pleasant collection OF
stories and q happy Yuletide es-
cape from the indifferent and the
unhappy, the cherries and the
lonely, which continue to be q part
Of the world even at Christmas.

This Rock Of Ours" You see,
we purchased a lot over at the
corner of White and Laird Streets
and in about a year we expect to
build on it and become home
steaders for at least seven
months of the year. Three years
ago we spent five days in Key
West and loved it so much that a
few months after returning North,
Mr.. Clayton flew down and
bought the lot because they SEEM
ed to be scarce in that vicinity
and more and more people were
becoming interested.
On Dec. Is, this year, we are
leaving for Key West to spend
about three weeks there. You
might tell Bill Gibb that we
loved the broken pavements,
stone walls, the. old houses, the
friendly people, the night bloom
