A Steering Wheel Talks

TRAIL, B. Cat Kimberley,

Second Airport Vital
To Meet Needs Here,
CAA Aide Declares

The tremendous expansion Of
air traffic makes 1t imperative
that Washington have a second
commercial airport, a Civil Aero
nautics Administration official
pointed out yesterday.
Joseph D. Blatt. assistant adj
ministrator for program co-or-
dination, speaking before the Ex-
change Club in the Hotel WASH
ington. explained:
IF Washington is to maintain
its natural position as one of the
major air hubs Of the United
States. and of. the world; If
Washington is to participate in
the economic benefits of an ex-
banding air transportation sys-
tenn; II Washington Is to con-
tinue to be a mecca for world
tourists and provide the most
advanced and safest gateway,
then q second airport must be
provided"
Mr.. Blatt said he could not
forsee where such an airport
could be situated. He said that,
although Washington National
Airport, which comes under
CAA jurisdiction, has. outgrown
its capacities, it remains one of
the best managed airports in
existence.
Washington, Mr.. Blatt de-
clared, is faced with an air space
problem, as well as an airport
problem, because of the proxi-
nifty of military fields.
Last year. 2,750.0OO passengers
moved through National Airport,
and by 1860, this figure will be
better than 4 million.
Clearly" he added. sit will
be impossible to meet this, de-
mand at an airport which today,
with all the best in traffic con-
troll and landing aides, can han
die only 40 operations an hour
over an extended period"

A suit brought by seven women

the seven women have relin-
pushed their membership in the
organization.
Memberships in the corpora
ton were sold for $50 each, ac-
cording, to court papers. The
suit contended the corporation
had done nothing toward build

Grand Old Man

Any one watching and listening to Winston
Churchill yesterday would find it difficult in
deed to believe that the Anglo-American
partnership is seriously threatened For when
Sir Winston speaks of the "unbreakable unity"
of the Engsh-speaking world, that unity seems
to take on something of his own sturdy, con-
f1dent, good humored durability. One may
know quite we'll that the partnership is beSet
with strains and stresses But they seem to
recede in imminence and in magnitude when
Brtain's Prime Minister talks to and with his,
audience
The joint statement issued after the White
House meetings reveals little 1t reflects a
stiffening Anglo-American attitude toward
French foot-dragging on the European army
project. And with respect to the more con-
troversial matter of Southeast Asia, it says:
1--WE will press forward with plans for collective
defense to meet either eventuality" Success or
failure of the Indo-China negotiations). Mr..
Churchill interpreted this as meaning that
work will be pressed forward now, Immediately,
so that we shall have our own ideas ready
whether or not an agreement is reached on
Indo-China, and, of course, if no agreement
is reached our ideas might we'll be different
from what they would be if an agreement is
reached"
This, plainly, is language which could
ment between the British and ourselves has
been that we wanted to move faster than the
British have wanted to move in doing whatever
could be done to organize concerted defense
against advancing communism in Southeast
Asia. Mr.. Churchill's statement might mean
that Britain has agreed to expedite at least
the planning phases of this task and that we
are prepared to wait a little longer before
moving into the action stage. But whether this
really is the case or not must await develop
ments Neither the joint statement nor the
Churchill remarks gives any clear answer.
There is one additional point which might
be mentioned. Sir Winston was eloquent and
persuasive in his appeal for time and oppor
tunity for patient COOL friendly examination
of what the Russian intentions really are"
There is no disagreement on this point. The
President and Mr.. Dulles may not be hopeful
of the results of such an examination, but they
do not want to foreclose it. What they want
is to take such steps can be taken to keep
strategic areas of the world from going down
the drain while the examination of Russian
intentions is being made. For if it develops
that RusSia's past actions are the true guide
to her future intentionS-if, in other words Mr..
ChurchillS examination reveals that Russian
communism is still bent on world domination
it may be too late then to take the measures to
save the areas and the people and the resources
which could be essential to survival of the
West.

Starlings and common sparrows, like
others brought to this country against
their will, just settled down to the
realities Of life.
Before many years had passed, they
found their numbers growing.
Being hardy, intelligent and capable
in the school of hard knocks, they
made the best Of things.
This took a little hustling, of course.
Such creatures could not be as gentle
as the wood thruShes, in their very
nature.
They had to find their food where
they could, and get it how they could.
There was no standing on ceremony
with them.
Sparrows take over the nests of
bluebirds?
Yes, they do, but the bluebirds are
not utter fools.
If they find they cannot nest one
place, they go to another.
StarlingS chase away robins?
Yes, but the robins are urged to
go elsewhere by millions Of years of
living behind them.

A resident of Nineteenth street
writes:
''This year three families of robins
built nests in trees in my yard in
downtown Washington.
"Starlings, leaving the business dis
trict, came to our neighborhood shortly
after the robins had laid eggs.
THE robins seemed terrified by the
hordes of starlings. and, in fact, left
the trees altogether.
1.-THE eggs were never Matched.
Does this foretell the extinction
of the robins by a stronger but far
less attractive race?
Respectfully, ]. M"
Our correspondent need not worry.
If the robins ever become extinct, it
will be due to man, not to other species
of birds.
When an observer happens to see
three such cases-especially in his own
back yard-he naturally inclineS to the
belief that something is happening.
Actually, what he has seen is just
a tiny facet of nature.
There are probably 100000 robins
in America.
Two of that huge number the writer
has seen crushed in the street by
automobile tires.
There are thousands of casualties in
every bird species every summer. but
it takes more than these to end any
bird line.
