helps the committee do a hard
and sometimes thankless Job.
They are out to curb, or at least
explain, airplane noise over
Washington and its suburbs.
Before November. 1854, when
the committee was set up to look
into complaints about the racket
of airplanes overhead. citizens
barraged the airport, the Civil
Aeronautics Administration or
anyone they could think of.
Complaint Bureau
Airlines and airport officials
decided a central complaint
bureau was called for. And, they
reasoned. perhaps something
could be done about the source
of the trouble.
A telephone answering service
which operates night and day to
take complaints, was the first
step taken by the new commit
tee. made up Of representatives
from Washington National Air
port, the CAA. Civil Aeronau-
tics Board, Air Transport ASso-
cation. the Air Line Pilots AS
ISOLATION and airline operations
officials.
BY calling Sterling 3-0474,
citizens get one Of the commit
tees complaint forms which
they then can mail to the group.
After it had received enough
complaints to analyze, the COM
mittee began to get at the noise
makers themselves.
Problem Explained
Here's the problem the COM
mittee had to tackle:
Washington National Airport,
which handles 60-65 landings
ana takeoffs an hour, is small
(722 acres) and completely sur
rounded by residential areas.
The skies over a large portion
Of the downtown Washington
area including the Capitol,
Lincoln Memorial, Washington
Monument and the White House

by President Truman in 1948.

After initiative. the employers
rated secretarial virtues in this
order: The ability to type quick

Many older secretaries have
complained it is difficult for them

almost impossible after so. The
poll showed considerable justifi-
