Airport Site

Recently Prof. Wright Of
Cornell University published
statistics giving a long-range
forecast on the growth of
aviation. Similar forecasts have
come from the CAA which
have been of doubtful value.
The accuracy of the basic in
formation from which these
statistics have been developed
would not stand up to serious
investigation. Howeve all
these studies do emphasize one
very important fact-that very
soon our new aircraft will not
have sufficient airport facili-
ties to handle them.
I was very pleased to read a
letter recently directed to you
by an airport operator who has
years of flying experience.
This letter urged further in
vestigation of the Belmont
site for a new airport to serve
the Washington area. The
writer explained the potentials
for expansion of this site and
refuted arguments that an air
port project here would be too
expensive.
I cannot believe that the
Burke site can any longer be
justified. True. the CAA has
spent moneys for a possible
airport at Burke. and it won't
be their last mistake; but If
an airport is finally built there.
I dare say that it will be obso-
lete before it is completed.
Considering only the real
estate developments in the
Burke area. there just will be
no room for expansion.
Those who are still inter-
ested in the Burke site should
read the recent story in the
newspapers about the growing
scarcity of air space, again
taking into consideration the
types of aircraft which will be
with us in the next few years.
Apply this information to air.
port planning and you will
readily see that more thought
will have to be given to some
new airport site. and soon.

The Navy has made a success
ful tiled down" test of the first
stage Of a triple rocket engine,
in preparation for eventual
launching of the earth satellite
A Viking rocket was used in
the test Thursday at Patrick Air
Force Base, Fla. with a fuel load
lighter than that which will be
used in actual air-launching of
the satellite vehicle. The Navy
said it was highly pleased" with
the results of the test.
The firing Of the rocket en-
CINE. which was secured to the
ground so that it would not take
of. was in preparation for the
next test which will involve
launching of two of the three
stages. For that test. the Viking
rocket will be refueled. then a
solid-fuel rocket placed on top
of 1t. The Viking will be fired
aloft, then the solid fuel rocket
ignited when the liquid-fuel
engine burns out.
Solid Fuel Test Slated
The purpose Of the next test
will be to try out the solid fuel
design which will put the 20
inch satellite sphere into It's 49,
900 mile per hour orbit.
The complete satellite launch
ing vehicle will consist Of two
liquid fuel rockets for the first
two stages and solid fuel third
stage.
The Thursday test was the
second to be made in the satellite
program with the Viking rocket
Last December a Viking was
launched from the Patrick base

miles and attained a speed Of
1000 miles per hour.

NEGRO College Fund

After several years abroad,
! returned to America to find
encouraging evidence of in
creased opportunities for
higher education for qualified
young Negroes. While abroad,
I had all too often been con-
fronted by the opinion so
widely held that we in our So
called democratic America can
scarcely boast of democratic
treatment of Negroes. espe-
cially in the many States where
they are denied entrance to
white universities and colleges.
I was acutely aware that the
eyes of the world are Upon us.
that we are being judged &C
cording to our progress in such
matters.
Most of our 81 Negro coll
leges and universities are To-
Gated in States where Negroes
cannot enter white colleges.
Each is. however. a vital center
both for higher education for
Negroes as well as a center
where white and Negro stu
dents and academic leaders
can meet together for better
inter-racial understanding and
cooperation and in some
States they are the only
campuses where such meetings
can take place.
The Washington quota of
the total appeal in support of
these colleges is only $4,000,
an appeal to assist some 49,
900 Negro stuGents who could
not enter the 81 colleges with
out financial assistance. and
to help the colleges meet ur-
gent demands for increased
enrollmentS and to pay sala-
ries high enough to maintain
high standards of education.
1t should be no great task
to raise such a sum in this
city where there are so many
graduates of Negro colleges
and so many white persons
who are vitality interested in
education for Negroes. II 5000
persons contributed only SIS
apiece. We would go well over
our quota, but find that there
is a surprisingly small list of
contributors. and experience
has shown that in the past
the raising of the Washington
quota has been a lonely and
difficult task.
We greatly need to enlarge
our list of contributors among
both Negroes and whites, for
1t is hardly fair that so few
should be asked to raise this
quota for the whole city. If we
raise more than our quota, it

Mons Best Friend

r. .. kVUWdI1 complains OF
dogs running loose in Mont
gomery County. But Mr.. Ro-
vans real complaint seems to
be founded on the mere fact
Of stray dogs in his neighbour
hood. although he talks of the
damage done by such dogs
to shrubbery. which damage,
strange to say. has not hap
pened to me in 80 years resi-
dence in Chevy Chase. Md.
I am not one who prefers
dogs to children. yet it is a
fact that one uninhibited child
in a neighborhood who is per-
mitted to run loose, and un-
supervised, by its unconcerned
parents will do more sdamage
to lawns. flower beds, etc., than
a pack of stray dogs. Mr..
Rowan speaks of lack of CO.
operativeness by dog owners.
1t has been my experience
that those complaining of
dogs are the first to resent any
complaint about the depreda-
tons done by their offspring
in running lawns by using
them as Fairgrounds and rid
ing bicycles and carts over
newly seeded and wet lawns
and flower beds.
incidentally, I favor a con-
troll over dogs running loose
in Montgomery County to the
extent that they should not
be of the owners premises
unless on leash or under the
immediate control of a person
capable of managing the dog.
/ am for this because it will
protect the dog from dog poi
soners. dog stealers, and from
an untimely and often agoniz-
ing death under the wheels OF
automobiles. ! also favor such
a control because it would pro-
tect the rights of non-dog own
ers. who, while liking mans
best friend, do want some pro-
lection from careless and in
different dog owners who are
unwilling to exercise reason
able restraint on the move
mentS of their dogs. No fair
minded person should or would
blame the dog for the sins of
the master. too many of whom
should never be permitted to
have the honor of owning a
dog. I hope Mr.. Rowan will be
more charitable to the dog: it
is not the real offender.
Dog Owner.
$50
If Mr.. Rowan will furnish me
with his address. / will deliver
to him an American pit bull
terrier. weighing about so
pounds. which. If chained in
his yard. | guarantee will keep
all the stray dogs in Mont
gomery County of his prop
erty. I haven't had a stray dog
come on my place and go away
in one piece in the last 20 years.
Pete Sparks.
Fairfax County, Virginia,
has just as many stray dogs
as Montgomery County. The
only difference Is that Fairfax
County has a law that owners
of dogs must keep them penned
up. That should solve our
problem. but. alas. our dogs
are so ignorant. they can't read
and don't know about this law.
Apparently many of the dog
owners are likewise handi-
capped.
There is only one way to
beat this dog problem. Mr..
Rowan-do as did and spend
$3.50 and fence yourself in.

they shouldn't shovel snow into
