Condemnation Suits
On Burke Airport Site
Dismissal Action Covers
Over Hulf of Owners
Of Virginia Troct

The Government today pre-
pared to drop further condemna-
tion of property for the proposed
Burke Airport site.
A dismissal was drawn up by
the Justice Department for the
remaining condemnation suits
still pending in Alexandria Fed
eral Court. 1t was to be filed
later today, the Justice Depart
ment said.
This action will dismiss con-
demnation proceedings against
more than half of the owners of
the 4,500-acre site. The Gov
ernment already owns close to
1000 acres, but ran out of funds
for further acquisitions.
The Justice Department said
it had no instructions involving
that portion of the airport site
already owned by the Govern
ment and assumed it would be
held until a final decision is
made about the location of a
new airport in the Washington
area.
Ralph Luttrell. attorney in the
Justice Department lands divi-
sion. said the dismissal action
did not mean the Government
had abandoned the Burke air.

demnation proceedings could be
brought if Congress ultimately
