Air AuthOrity's
Unexplained

RICHMOND, va, June 2 R
Charles r. Fenwick of Airing
ton says there is mo intention"
that a proposed state airport
Authority should supersede the
State Corporation Commissions
aeronautics division. He says
the aim is rather ito supplement"
the division.
Fenwick's comment came yes
lterday after airlines representa-
tives raised questions about the
ladvisability Of creating such an
authority at a meeting of the
State Airport Facilities Study
Commission. Fenwick, chairman
lof the study group. was chief
patron Of the Senate resolution
creating it.
Jennings Randolph, assistant
to the vice presidnet of Capital
Airlines. said lit seems illogical
to think in terms Of state air.
port authority superirnposed on
the aeronautics division of the
State Corporation Commission. I"
Randolph said he thought the
study group had better look
over" proposals to establish the
authority. He said he had some
mental reservations about the
IadviSability of such a move.
Fenwick said the proposed au-
Ithority would be official enough"
to work with Federal and
local governments but flexible
enough" to do some things the
state as such might not be in a
position to do"
Richard B. Hager, vice presi-
dent of the Piedmont Airlines,
said his company gets along well
with existing facilities. commits
sions and regulatory agencies
and wanted no change.
j. H. Durand, secretary of the
Air Transport. Association, said
the traditional pattern of United
States airport development has
been that of community and
Federal Government co-opera-
ton. He said he could see no
advantage to creation of a State
authority.
The study commission con-
ferred in a closed session yester-.
day with two officials of the Civil
Aeronautics AUTHORITY.
Fenwick termed yesterdays
hearings as cropping for infor-
nation" to guide his group on
what is required to keep the

This has met all the criteria
laid down by the Central Intel

would not need any additional

mined that the site is immedi-

BIumed on Bows

The cause of fire in a storage

reason for igniting the fire with
matches and alcohol, Marshal
Woltz said. They were picked up
at the scene of the fire by cam
pus police.
