efficient air traffic control system,
outlined four positive steps he felt
should be taken to bring about
safer, more efficient air travel.
The four steps according to
Haskell, are:
"a The establishment of a CEN
tralized, Independent Aviation
Agency.
(2) The provision for sufficient
funds appropriated to the Agency
to provide, in conjunction with
present military air defense radar,
complete radar network through
out the United Stases with trained
personnel in sGEcient numbers to
operate it.
90 Closer cooperation between
military and civilian aviation inter-
ests.
(4) An accelerated program of
research and development in the
field of aeronautics.
at is in this latter field" said
Haskell, "that a good deal of work
must be accomplished. The Air
ways Modernization Board, under
General Quesada, has made consid-
cradle headway since being estab-
lished, but we are so far behind in
our technology that we must con-
centrate money and effort in this
area so that we will be able to
keep abreast of the fast changing
technology in cir travel
''It is evident, in view of recent
disastrous mid-air collisions. that
positive steps must be taken to
bring aviation of all kinds under a
single operating agency. / feel
that the establishment of the Fed
eral Aviation Agency will be a big
step forward in solving some of
today's aviation problems and l
strongly urge passage of such leg
islation," concluded Haskell.

Hal Haskell Introduces
Air Safety Bill

A bill to provide better air safe
ty through the establishment of a
Federal Aviation Agency as rec
ommended by the administration
was introduced this week by Con-
gresham Harry G. Haskell, Jr.
(R-DeD.
Congressman Haskell said, This
rev bill includes the recommenda-
tions made by most of the outstand-
ing aviation officials in the coun-
try for a centralized agency to CO.
ordinate both military and civilian
air traffic throughout the u. S.
This bill also includes recommen-
dations above and beyond those
contained in present Senate and
House bills.
Our aviation responsibilities in
the Government up to this point
have been spread all over the place
with no one agency having any
thing resembling complete respon-
sibility. AS result, our military
air power has been seriously ham
pered and the safety of 40 million
airline passengers, plus the large
number of private flyers, have been
endangered. In addition, this lack
of coordination of aviation respon-
sibilities has cost the country mil
lions upon millions of dollars. 1t
can be expected that the new avi-
alton agency will result in sub
stantial savings to the taxpayer"
continued Haskell.
Haskell, who co-sponsored the
Airways Modernization Board and
the National Aeronautics and Space
Agency bills and who has been a
leader in the fight for safer, more

Hyde Expects
Hearings on
Canal Park

A bill to create a Federal

of the Chesapeake & Ohio
Canal sis not dead" Repre-
sentative Hyde. Republican of
Maryland, said last night.
In a televised interview
(WRC-TV), the lawmaker said
he expected House hearings on
the bill. which has already
passed the Senate. sometime
next month.
Asked If he did not think the
need for new schools and adj
ditional teachers more impor-
tant. Mr.. Hyde replied:
The very children we are so
anxious to educate must have
some place to play" He said
he envisioned a recreation area
reaching 1853 miles. to Cumber-
land. Md.
He was then asked If he
thought it reasonable to pro-
vide q picnic area along a pol
luted river.
Mr.. Hyde replied that the
Potomac was not polluted all
the way to Cumberland. and
that creation of a park would
generate public demand for
cleaning up the river.

extensive Stun clearance should
be postponed until the results
of the current Southwest re-
development program are seen.
Small clearance projects to

suggested as q starter. in order
to provide quarters for those
displaced later.
John r. Searles, jr., execu-

yesterday planners hope to have

Also being prepared for submis-

The initial upgrading project
is to cover an industrial area

They specifically suggested
concentrating on small projects

rather than slum clearance,

the projected inner loop ex-
presSway, which is to cut
through the area in question.
The highway construction is
not scheduled for several years.
15-Page Letter
The Commissioners views
were contained in a l5-page
letter commenting on prelim-
mary plans for the Northwest
program. The 914-acre area is
bounded by Fourteenth street,
Massachusetts, avenue. K street.
Union Station, Florida avenue
and U street.
The planning commission is
directing planning for the area.
But the Commissioners must
approve final project plans.
Planners are seeking to meet

sion Of general plans to the
Housing and Home Finance
agency in order to assure Fed

Must Put Up $56 Million
The District, the Commits
sioners told the planning COM
mission. would have to put up
about $56 million Of its own
funds to carry out the tenta-
tive plans for slum clearance
and new public facilities. in
GLIDING highways and build
ings.
Another $50 million would be
obtainable in Federal highway
funds. they said. And $87 mil
lion would be sought from
HHFA in urban renewal grants.
The Commissioners called
the local outlay required by the
plans tremendous" and called
for economy in land use plan
ming for public facilities.
The city heads said the Dis
trict will only be able to meet
its share Of the cost If public
works tied to the program are
stretched out over "a substan-
tial period Of years."
They also focused attention
on the problem Of relocating
residents to be displaced by
slum clearance.

DILL introduced last year at the
request Of the District Bar As
ISOLATION.
Mr.. Feldman noted that the
committee is still very much"
interested in the bill and plans
to ask Senate approval before
the end Of the current session.
Senator CLARK s. Judiciary sub
committee Of the District Com
mittee win study the bill within
the next four weeks. he said.
Present Laws Provisions
Last years bill would have
limited to 10 per cent the
amount Of q salary that could
be attached to collect q debt.
Present law allows a creditor
to take anything over 5000 a
month from . married debtors
wages. or anything over $50 q
month from q single persons
salary.
Mr.. Feldman said he does not
expect to recommend chang
ing the bills proposal that one
punishment would act as q
lien against a debtors paycheck
until the debt is entirely paid.
Backers say this would re-
duce the rising workload at
Municipal Court. Records show
that more than $500 earnish-
ments are now filed every
month.
Number on Increase
Under present law, debtors
entire salary can be seized until
the court determines what por-
ton Of it is exempt from at
tachment. and a garnisment is
effective against only one pay
check at q time.
The number Of garnishments
have increased since last year,
according to William M. Ned
row. chief deputy clerk for the
civil division Of Municipal
Court. A total Of 3.729 were
issued in January, 4.614 in Feb
ruary and 4.4l8 in March. COM
pared with an average Of fewer
than 1000 q month during the
same period last year.

The feels the nonconformance
law should be changed so that
all 5000 odd properties in that
category could improve their
premises and stay where they
are.
Fear Revenue Loss
The city is worried about its
lowered revenues" he said,
but the way this has been 60
ing on we're just driving busi-
nesSeS out of town."
On the opposite side Of the
nonconformance code, a zon-
ing consultant to the District
has recommended that legisla-
ton be provided to empower
the Commissioners gradually
to acquire such properties as
the gas station over the years.
The proposal. however. has
run into opposition not only
from the affected businesses
but from taxpayers. who con-
tend the cost of such an un-
dertaking would be prohibitive.
One possibility for a solution
to the gas-station problem
came to light. yesterday. Com
pany and park officials alike
expressed interest in it purely
as a possibility in a situation
that to date has been impos-
sible. The idea goes this way:
The government would OBJ
tain title to the station prop
erty by agreement with the
owners. The owner then would
beautify it in keeping with the
character of the neighborhood
and use 1t rent free for a fixed
number of years. At the end
of that period the station
would be abandoned, and the
Government would take over
jail together to finish develop
ing the triangle as the park
for which it is intended.

Two bills to permit this have

their legal aides-are simply
that to make a special excep-
ton to coming laws applied to
such nonconforming properties
would open the way to the
