Both prosecutors and judges

loath to convict in negligent

reason for the low rate of con-

But the facts fail to bear out
this explanation. If the cases

more often than they acquit.

Burke Airport Vote
Delayed Until 1857
Senators Defer
Action on Funds,
Ask More Study
BY DON S. WARREN

The Senate Appropriations
Committee, a member told The
Star last night, has decided to
defer until January the question
OF funds to build second WASH

This decision. repeatedly, was
reached late yesterday afternoon
lat closed session of the funds
group while it was considering
items President Eisenhower has
asked to be included in the final
supplemental appropriations bill.
Two Reasons Given
/ Two reasons were offered for
the decision.
One was the confusion of
arguments as to whether IL
would not be quicker and
cheaper to use Friendship Air
port near Baltimore.
The other was the declared op-
position of some residents of the
Burke area. backed up by Vir.
ginia's Democratic Senators
Byrd and Robertson against
building big port in the nearby
Virginia area.
The Star was told the commit
tee did not vote against the re-
quested $34.7 million. Instead. it
was reported, the committee de-
clded to name a special subcom.

anime all aspects of the matter
and to have report and recon-
mendations ready for the Appro-
priations Committee next Janu-

use OF Friendship airport is un-
