a seven-man committee to be
composed Of six fire chiefs and
one at-large member. The rules
proposed that four dispatchers
operate from the Washington
Grove center with seven others
at the Silver Spring alarm
headquarters. located at -Four
Corners.
Balance Of Power
Ofncials said the rules rep
resent q carefully worked-out
balance Of power between the
committee Of chiefs and the
county manager, who would
have administrative control
over the setup. In addition. the
IL dispatchers would be county
employees.
Control over the committee
OF chiefs would rest largely with
the County Fire Board, consist
ing Of delegates from the Is
fire departments and two res
cue squads in the county. One
rule provides that the board
would have the power by a
two-thirds vote to remove a
member Of the committee Of
chiefs. Also, II q committee
member fails to be reelected
to be chief in his own depart
ment. he would automatically
be removed fro mthe COM
mittee.

tives. in general, hailed the
regulations as the first step,
though not necessarily the
final one. toward an efhcient

today.
In a memorandum to Airport
Director L. w. Burton, Civil

James T. Pyle said that nc
ground facilities will be pro-
vided for jets at National.
He added that any airlines

Target date for initial oper-
atoms at Chantilly is late 1860
or early 1861.
The memorandum from Mr.
Pyle to Mr.. Burton follows:
I'm connection with your re-
cent inquiry as to whether the
agency has given any consid-
Grafton to the use of Washing
ton National Airport by turbo-
jet aircraft I believe the fol-
lowing information will be
helpful.
THE President directed the
Secretary of Commerce by let
ter of January IA. 1858, to de-
velop an airport on the Chan
lilly site and included for
guidance Of the Secretary a
copy of the report Of the Special
Assistant to the President.
"The report acknowledged
that turbojet aircraft will be
in commercial service before a
new airport can be constructed
at Chantilly and recommended.
to limit Of practicability. that
the airlines make interim use

Pursuant to these commune
cations :. this is to advise
that no facilities will be pro-
vided for initial commercial
turbo-jet service at the WASH

therefore, airlines desiring to
provide such jet service to the
Washington area will do so by

by demanding that the South

the release directly with the

Seoul Is Reluctant
Previously the South Korean
government had refused to deal
