The
Rambler
Visits Site
OF New Airport
BY GEORGE KENNEDY


would you like to go out
with me to see the ground
breaking at the Chantilly
airport?" Chick Yarbrough
asked.
The Rambler is always
ready I'd go but he would
have thought twice had he
known what he was in for.
II think you will enjoy
riding in my new sports car"
said Chick as we walked over
to the garage. "It's an Eng
lish car, an Austin-Healey
Sprite. It's little more than
a roller skate, but it gives you
a remarkable ride"
Chick, who is an early re-
write man on The Star and
does a Monday column,
wings and Wheels" on the
financial page, is a sports car
enthusiast.
Little more than a roller
skate was right. 1t was not
designed for the Rambler
who is 6-foot-2 and weighs
over 200 pounds. AS it is an
open car and the top was
down, it was easy to sit in
the bucket seat. But that
left the problem of getting
legs and feet in through the
little door. At first it seemed
that it would be necessary
to remove the shoes, but at
length the problem was
solved.
To Chick II was no problem
at all. He's about 5-foot-6;
weighs less than 125 pounds.
We crossed the Memorial
Bridge and went out Airing
ton boulevard Route 50). 1t
was long after the rush hour
but there was too much 'traf-
fic for comfort. In a little,
low car like that with the top
down you feel naked and de-
fenseless against the jugger-
nauts rolling in both direc-
tions, big diesel trailer trucks
with towering boxes.

away?"
While there were plenty of
CAA officials present, includ-
ing william B. Davis, the
acting administrator, there
was no nonsense about sit
ting at the controls of the
big machine for the photog-
raphers.
The man who knew how to
run it, c. H. Williams,
mounted to the cabin and off
it moved to a hedgerow OF
trees, cedars and oaks for
the most part.
Down the row it went, and
over went the trees.
THAT hurts me" said
Chick, when you think of
all the work it takes to get
a tree growing on your front
lawn, and here they just
push them over"
Following the tractor we
picked up shattered bits OF
aromatic red cedar, the hane
of moths, and sassafraS
which grows to a tall tree.
We checked the millege or
the way back. 1t was 29.t
miles to The Star.

Planning
Sewer Plant
Facility to Serve
ChontiIIy Airport

The Civil Aeronautics Admin
istration has indicated it will
build a sewage treatment plant
for Chantilly Airport which
would discharge into the Poto-
mac River above the Districts
water supply. the Fairfax Board
of County Supervisors was told
today.
The County Board has pro-
posed that the Government pay
for construction of a treatment
plant which would serve both
the airport and a portion OF
county territory and would dis
charge into a stream flowing
away from the Potomac.
The plant proposed by the
county would cost about Sis
million and would discharge
into the stream which flows
into Occoquan Greek.
Primary Consideration
County Executive Carlton C.
Massey told the board that air.
port officials have indicated
they will give primary con-
sideration to the amount OF
money involved. He said air.
port engineers say they can
build their own treatment plant
on the airport property and
discharge it toward the Po-
tomac for about half the initial
cost of the county's proposal.

Further Conferences
The board voted to seek fur
lther conferences with airpor
officials "as quickly as possible
to try to get further consid'
Grafton for the county's pro
lposal.
"These things have a way o.
getting into engineering plan
before. we can do anything
Iabout it and then they claim

Mr.. Moss.

be named to head such an in
formal advisory group.
3O-Man Board
Under the bill, a board Of
trustees including Is ex-oficio
members from the Government
and Is citizen leaders will be
named by Mr.. Eisenhower to
plan, raise funds and direct
construction of the center.
Mr.. Thompson suggested in
a letter to DR.. Eisenhower
yesterday that nine of the
ex-officio members who are
specifically named in the legis-
lation should be available right
away to help the President with
suggestions for the board.
Stressing the Importance Of
the board, which will determine
ultimately whether the center
will actually be established, he
noted that the Secretary Of
Health. Education and Welfare
will be the ranking member Of
the Executive Branch of the
Government on the board.
This suggests, think, that
one way in which the President
could be legitimately aided in
making the very best appoint
ments would be to have the
-officio members of the board
of trustees draw up a roster of
names for his consideration"
he wrote.
Other Ex-O ffici0 Members
The other established ex-
oficio members are the liz
brarian of Congress, the Assist.
ant Secretary of State for Pub
lie Affairs, the chairman of the
Commission of Fine Arts, the
president of the Board of Dis
Itrict Commissioners, the chair
man of the District Recreation
Board, the director of the Ma
tional Park Service, the COM
missioner of the United States
Office of Education and the Sec
retary of the Smithsonian In
stitution.
Mr.. Thompson reported ear
lier he had talked with DR.. Eli
senhower, president of Johns
Hopkins University, and that
DR.. Eisenhower had expressed
extreme interest" in the center
and said he would discuss the
matter of appointments with
the President.
Mr.. Thompson also wrote to
Presidential Assistant Sherman
Adams, inclosing a copy of his
letter to DR.. Eisenhower and
stressing the Importance of the
appointments.
Mr.. Thompson included in
his letter to DR.. Eisenhower and
Mr.. Adams copies of an article
from The Sunday Star report
ing the Congressman's concern
that the strongest possible
board of trustees be selected.
Funds must be collected with
in five years. Otherwise, the
legislation provides that the
money raised toward the center
will revert to the Smithsonian
Institution for an art museum.
According to present think
ing. a $40 to $25 million center
is to be built. Sponsors hope
to build an 1,800-seat theater
and a more adaptable, perhaps
600-seat, arena for smaller the
atrical productions.
Boundaries of Tract
The bill locates the center
on a Potomac riverside tract
bounded by the proposed inner
loop freeway and approaches
to the Theodore Roosevelt
Bridge. and Virginia avenue.
Signing Of the school lunch
bill clears the way for the
District Commissioners to in
clude money for an expanded
program in their budget for
the next fiscal year, due to go
to Congress next January.
Retired teachers benefit
legislation affects teachers and
survivors of teachers who re-
tired before October /, 1856. A
