Burke Is Logical Site
For I'd D. {. Airport,
Economist Hoyt Says
Star staff Photo

Land Economist Homer Hoyt
still thinks Burke, Va, is the
most logical site in the Wash
ington area for a second COM
mercial airport.
DR.. Hoyt said last night that
official approval of Friendship
Airport will not be enough to
make Washingtonians use it,.
Most people are just not
going to drive that far to catch
a plane" he said. They'll wait
until they can get flight out
of Washington National Air
port"
DR.. Hoyt, speaking at the
ninth annual banquet of the
Annandale CVaD Businessmen'S
Association at Walnut Hill said
that while he is not an expert
on the airport question, he feels
that Burke is the best site in the
area for several reasons:
/. It is in a less-populated
area than any other site of equal
distance from Washington.
2. 1t is closer to Washington
than any other suggested site.
8. Land-acquisition problems
would be simpler there than
elsewhere.
DR.. Hoyt said that perhaps he
ought to be disqualified from
giving an opinion on Burke, be-
cause he owns some property
nearby.
But can say to other land
owners, frankly, that I don't
expect an airport at Burke would
hurt my land values" he said.
II know that land I own across
from the Chicago Airport has
not gone down in value"

time. In August. 1945, two
months after the baby died, his
7-year-old sister told neighbors
her stepfather had smothered
him.
Police dropped the case when
the Vaughns convinced them the
baby had become entangled in
bedclothing. The girl later was
cared for by neighbors and now
is living with a minister.
Vaughn and his wife. also
known as Anna Edith Under
wood, related stories to States
Attorney Blair H. Smith of
Prince Georges County that re-
suited in two other murder
charges. Vaughn gave his Wash
ington address as 1912 Fourth
street NE. and Mrs. Vaughn
as 205 Eighth street NE.
Cites part of Bargain"
In her statement Mrs. Vaughn
said that on May 10, 1851, she
wrapped their baby boy in a
blanket shortly after he was
born in a trailer they occupied
near Piscataway.
She said her husband buried
the baby in a three-foot grave
near the trailer "aS his part of
the bargain.
Yesterday police took Mrs.
Vaughn to the spot and dug up
some bones which were sent to
the State Pathological Labora-
tory in Baltimore for examina-
ton.
The second charge involved
the death of son born in the
PiscataWay area in August, 1852.
In her statement Mrs. Vaughn
admitted her husband was not
the father of the child, although
they were living together at the
time.
Cremation Admitted
The States attorney said Mrs.
Vaughn admitted cremating the
hour-old son on a pyre she kin
died for the purpose in the yard.
She placed the remains in a
cardboard box and dumped it
near the trailer home, she told
authorities.
Vaughn denied knowledge of
this death and his wife did not
implicate him. Vaughn also
denied he had planned with his
wife to dispose of the baby born
in 1851.
Details of the case began un-
folding after Sheriff j. Lee Ball
discovered a letter Vaughn had
sent his mother. The mention of
murder" touched off the investi-
cation,
Vaughn had just drawn pro-
stationary sentence on charge of
sodomy involving a l4-year-old
girl. He has Just completed near
ly two years of sentence for
carnal knowledge of the same
girl since she was 8 years old.
On March, 1945, Vaughn was
given a 1-to-3-year sentence for
bigamy.
A hearing for Vaughn on the
new murder charges was post
poned in Upper Marlboro court

JAWS GUARANTEED
EMPL 0YAENT PLAN

QUESTION: Will workers health
insurance contlnoe wnile he is re-
ceiving guaranteed wage pay
mentS?
ANSWER: Yes. The basic principle
of the Guaranteed Employment
Plan is that the workers living
standards are to be maintained
while he is laiN off. He is not to
be penalized for involuntary idle
ness. Health insurance, medical
and hospital benefits and pension
credits, for example, are just as
much part of the workers living
standard as the things he buys di-
rectly with his wages. These bene-
fits will be maintained while the
worker is on layoff and eligible
for guarantee payments just as
though he were still at work.
QUESTION: Are we asking for pay
for idleness?
ANSWER: Company propaganda
has suggested that our Guaranteed
Employment Plan is "just demand
for longer paid vacations" THIS
IS FALSE!
Workers will not receive guar
anteed wage payments except as a
result of the employers action in
laying them off. The worker must
be available for work. Not only can
he be recalled at any time, but he
must accept a suitable job else
where if it is offered him.
We are not asking for pay for
idleness-we are aSking for steady
jobs. But when employers fail in
theif responsibility to provide
steady work, they have moral

seek to do this by taking away the
power of the Federal Power Com

not only on gas bills at home, but
on many manufactured products.
Even if you use fuels other than

resentatives!
Perhaps you noticed in the To-
ledo Blade not too long ago a
uueStlonnaire to be answered,
clipped and mailed to Congressman
Thomas l.. Ashley. Wonder how
many people from this area did SO.
We have learned that the Congress
man received 1852 responses to his
questionnaire. Here's just sample
of the replies:
1. Do you believe the present
minimum wage should be raised to:
90c an hour, 214 - 81 an hour,
290 - $1.25 an hour, 528 - no
answer, 81 - no raise, 38.
4, Do you feel that top Govern
ment sources are keeping the
American people accurately in
formed on the conduct of the
United States foreign policy? ....
Yes, 341 - No, 744 - No ans
wer, 81.
Only few weeks after the guar
anteed wage agreement was signed
this Detroit Free Press report said
it already was at work to stabilize
employment.
GAS the Lincoln Division of Ford
Motor Co. announced the compile
tion of its production of 1855
models, it appeared the guaranteed
wage has already changed the pat
tern of layoffs during model
changeover perions. Line n
spokesmen said they foresaw no
layoffs - that employees would
wirk on Mercury cars or help in
the changeoves for 1856 model pro
duction."
| And in just a few weeks after
the major contracts were signed
smaller firms were welcoming the
guaranteed wage pattern. This
should answer the many questions
asked by those concerned with the
effect of the guaranteed annual
wage on smaller manufacturers
and suppliers.
The guaranteed wage principles
have been adopted in contract
signed by the Union and the Auto
motive Tool and Die Manufacturers
Association, covering 5000 skilled
workers in 70 small Detroit area

STEVE J. NovAK, PRES.
LOCAL. Ae7. UAW-clo

When the word went out that
the United Steelworkers of Amer
lea had finally reached a salts
factory wage agreement with the
United States Steel Corp, prac
tically everyone in the country
must have heaved tremendous
sigh of relief F.. the steelworkers
and their wives, workers in other
industries, the professional men
and the businessmen. Everyone
was happy that the IL hour strike
(the shortest in history was over
-. and nobody was hurt.
1t is real victory for the steel
workers and their President, David
j. Mcdonald. They obtaesNSd an
average hourly wage increase OF
a little better than Is cents, ac-
tually fifty per cent more than the
steel industry's original wage offer
This victory, coming so soon
after the historymaking UAW
negotiated victory with Ford and
GIN, strengthens the bargaining
position of every Union in the
country.
The CIO Clothing Workers have
unionized 9890 of the mems cloth
ing industry in the U. S. and is
one of its major stabilizing forces.
However, Richmond Bros, one of
the few holdouts, has consistently
refused to deal with the union.
An Ohio Judge has thrown out
two-year-old temporary" injunc-
tion against Amalgamated Clothing
Workers, which had been restrain
ed from picketing the SO stores OF
Richmond Bros.
Judge Lybarger of the Cuyahoga
County Court of Common Pleas, at
Cleveland, is to be complimented
for refusing to extend the injunc.
tion. And the Clothing Workers, by
fighting this case, have performed
service for all of labor.
Port Clinton's Lawrence Taub
who is 7th General Vice-President
of the Cement, Lime, Gypsum
Workers, AFL has been a very
busy man lately. He has been
handling wage negotiations in the
Bay City and Cement City, Mich
