Less Aircraft Noise Ordered
For Areas Near Airport

Georgetown, Arlington and
Alexandria residents can look
forward to less roar in the air
this summer.
Pilots who use Washington
National Airport got a perma-
nent reminder yesterday to keep
down aircraft noise.
The reminder is in the form
of four 30-foot-long signs telling
pilots on north, south, north
west and southeast bound run
ways to fly over the Potomac
River until they get about 1000
feet in the air. The planes have
been noisy over the Georgetown,
Arlington and Alexandria sec
tons at attitudes of 500 feet.
The first of the signs was I'M
yelled yesterday by B. H. Griffin,
airport director. The other three
will be installed next week.
The signs were the idea of
the Washington Airport Survey
Committee, a group formed in

plane noise here could be mini
mized. The group represents
airlineS serving Washington, the
Air Line Pilots Association, the
Civil Aeronautics Administration
and the director of Washington
airport.
The committee feels that. II
the airliners follow the course
of the Potomac on takeoffs until
they reach Chain Bridge flying
north and Hunting Greek flying
south, aircraft rumble will be
reduced for sections of town that
have complained Of the sound.
Under weather conditions
when the planes must fly on in
struments, however. pilots will
fly the shortest course under di-
rection of the control tower.
The takeoff routes will not
cause any traffic problems or
slow the schedules or endanger
flights, a spokesman said.

A friend Of Comdr. Crabb told
the News Chronicle last night
representatives Of Royal Navy
intelligence and Mis-, Britain's
counterespionage organization,
had questioned him twice about
Crabb since the diver vanished.
"Going for q Dip"
The friend, who declined to
permit use of his name, said
Crabb had described the Ports
mouth job and previous projects
for the admiralty as going for
a Dip" He said Comdr. Crabb
expected to receive 80 bounds

Soviet Premier Bulganin and
