Butler Brands
Burke Airport
Fund a Token
Predicts Speedy
Death if Bill
Reaches Senate

Senator Butler, Republican
Of Maryland, q leading oppon-
ent Of Burke Airport. said yes
terday he was not worried
about the approval by House
Appropriations subcommittee Of
$l2.5 million to get the project
rolling.
President Eisenhower last
week asked Congress to provide
$35 million for the Burke prof.
ect. The House unit acted
Thursday. and the full Appro:
priations Committee is expected
to take it up early this week.
Senator Butler ridiculed the
$l2.5 million House subcom-
mittee grant as q token"
amount, but predicted that
even it would suffer a speedy
death In the Senate If the full
House approves it.
Cost Ceiling Cited
He said administration forces
and the "air transport lobby"
favoring Burke had won only
q patrol skirmish," and that
the smallness Of the $12.5 mil
lion amount Ito carry forward
the boondoggling Burke project
is discouraging not to the OPP
ponets Of Burke but to its pro-
ponents."
Members Of the House unit
told reporters the $12.5 million
figure was voted because pres
ent law places q $14 million
limit on costs for the project.
Senator Butler predicted the
Senate will demand that air
lines use facilities at Balti-
more's Friendship Airport.
Travel Times Compared
Meanwhile, the Washington
Board Of Trade, which favors
the Burke location for critically
needed facilities, distributed
maps indicating travel times
and routes to Burke and to still
another proposed airport site
at Chantilly, Va.
The study contended it would
take 80 minutes to drive the
24.1 miles to Chantilly from
the Fourteenth street Potomac
bridge. while it would take only
70 minutes to drive the 1871
miles to Burke from that point.
From National Airport, the
distance is 1872 miles to Burke
as against 25.2 miles to Chan.
lilly. the map indicated.
Murray Toomey, chairman Of
the Board of Trade aviation
committee. noted that plane
passengers could drive six miles
from the Burke site and be on
the new "circumferential" route
circling Washington. This loop
ties to both the Jones Point
and Cabin John bridge sites,
he said. Burke passengers also
could drive straight onto Shir-
ley highway, bound for the
Fourteenth Street bridge, the
map showed.
From Chantilly, passengers
would have to drive IL miles
to the fast circumferential
route. Mr.. Toomey said.
The link to this loop is i'm
