Airport Certificate
Proposal Rejected as
Reforms Are Pushed
BY the Asseelated Press

The Government said yester-
day 1t is carrying out as rapidly
as possible most of the airport
safety recommendations of the
Doolittle commission of 1852.
But at least one recommenda-
tion-that airports be required
to obtain certificates-was re-
jected outright.
Others, such as the proposal
that all planes in certain con-
gested areas be under positive
radio traffic-cop control at all
times, have been accepted with
reservations. The reason: "Im-
mediate implementation would
be an almost impossible task"
This information on what the
Government agencies involved
are doing to carry out the recon-
mendations was announced by
the Inter-departmental Air CO.
ordinating Committee.
1t. Gen. James H. Doolittle,
headed the commission named
by former President Truman to
study the entire field of airport
safety in the light of a series of
fatal plane crashes in the Eliza
beth IN. j. area. The COM
mission outlined dozens of pro-
posed safety measures.
Rejected as Needless.
The ACC said the proposal
that airports be certified for
meeting minimum safety stand
ards was rejected by the Civil
Aeronautics Board and the Com
merce Department as unneces-
sary.
Those agencies reported that
the, CAA already has adequate
control over airport use.
Commerce and the CAB con-
Cured in establishment of posi-
tive air traffic control in con-
gested zones, at all times regard
less of weather, las an ultimate
objective"
But they said the Civil Aero
uautics Administration, which
operates the Federal airways,
lacks the funds, personnel and
electronic equipment for salts
factory control in congested
areas, 'let alone the where
withal to control the various Off
airways and uncontrolled areas" ;"
The Doolittle commission rec
commended that the dominant
runways of new airport projects
be protected by cleared extern
sions at each end at least half a
mile long and 1000 feet wide,
completely free of housing or
other obstruction.
Only Where Feasible.
The Commerce Department
concurred. but said the safety of
aircraft operation does not de-
pend upon cleared runway ex-
tension areas. 1t added that
levelling of the extensions should
be accomplished "only where
economically feasible"
Commerce accepted a Doolittle
recommendation that at new
airports a fan-shaped zone al
least two miles long and 5000
feet wide at it's outer limits be
established beyond the half
mile cleared extension. But il
added: Safety of aircraft oper-
ations does not depend on a fan
shaped zone."
Both Commerce and Defense
said they were rearranging flight
patterns and taking other steps
to reduce noise nuisance, in line
with commission recommends.

NEGRO VETERAN SLAYER OF
Three BRINGS OUT BIGGEST
MAnHUNT In HISTORY OF STATE
Area Wide Search Of Homes Spread
Terror Among Negro Citizens
Widespread Search Fails To Uncover
Reputed Expert Rifleman

LEXINGTON, Miss, Jan. 49,
(DSN) - The national spotlight
was again focused on'the state Of
Mississippi as the Staying Of three
white men and wounding Of two
others by a Negro veteran Of
World War II, reputedly an ex-
pert rifleman, brought out one Of
the biggest man hunts in Missis-
sippi history.
Up to Tuesday afternoon, the
third day following the slayings,
according to some estimates, more
than 800 armed white men, includ-
ing sheriff's officers, highway pa
trolmen, and citizens volunteers,
had Joined in the hunt for the lone
Negro, assisted by bloodhounds
from the Angola State Prison in
Louisiana, and the state prison at
Parchman and a spotter plane
circling over the area in which the
man was supposed to be in hiding,
but all efforts had failed to un-
cover the mans hiring place. Late
Tuesday afternoon Sheriff Richard
F. Byrd is reported as having said
that he was calling off the search.
The search for the slayer spread
terror among Negro citizens of an
estimated fifteen square mile area
when officers and members of the
posse made systematic search of
all Negro homes, not waiting for
the formality of obtaining search
warrants. Before the search was
called off by Sheriff Byrd of
Holmes County late Tuesday after
noon, members Of the posse had
burned down the slayer's home,
setting it afire with q rain Of
rifle, shotgun, pistol, and tear gas
bombs in the hope that the man
had returned to his home. One
of the slayer's brothers, with q
white flag in his hand had been
forced to act as a decoy in an eff
fort to bring the slayer out Of sew
eral suspected hiding places.
