he is not satisfied with the FAA
decision.
More than 400 persons APP
peared at the hearing held July
II at Oakton School In Fairfax
County.
Hugh McDiarmid, Vienna real
estate man and leader Of the
protesting group, said the new
location would result in de-
struction of IL homes, and that
2l6 persons live within 500
feet of 1t. He said one house
would be taken on the original
route and only AZ persons live
within 500 feet of that one.
Mr.. McDiarmid said the new
location was decided on by FAA
without consulting the people.
Congress, any other Federal
agency or any local agencies.
Some Favor New Route
However, the new route got
some support from farmers and
home owners who live along
the original location. Gardner
C. Means. representing this
group at the Oakton hearing.
said that although the new
route would displace some
home owners and interrupt
community life, those affected
could make adjustments much
more easily than could farmers
who would be affected by the
original route.
FAA surveying parties have
continued to work along the
new location while the final
decision was under considera-
ton. FAA officials said this was
done to save time If the new
route Is finally selected. They
said they will be hard put to
get the road finished by the
time the airport opens.

wolves dividing the department
into eight units, each with its

endeavors Of the department
would be handled by divisions

The Markets Division would
work in cooperation with the
Federal Government in locat-
ing new seafood markets,
would promote the sale of sea-
food products and, through a
home economics section, would
teach housewives how properly
to prepare the bays products.
This unit, DR.. Byrd said, also
would conduct the first survey
in the States history of, the
seafood industry.
The Division of Recreation
would administer a proposed
new boat act for the State,
be responsible for channeling
money from boat licenses into
development of waterways and
recreational facilities and pro-
mote sports fishing on the bay.
1t also would offer assistance
to regattas and other water

market for his fathers novelty
firm.
Mr.. Westheimer, a 2l-year-

The beans were shipped to

million jumping beans take up
most Of the forward cargo
compartment of q Dc-6.
The beans are grown only
in Northern Mexico. They

AT Testing
Capsule

MIAMI BEACH. Fla, Sept
IL (AP).-The Air Force has
started an experiment to find
out how man might react on
q two-day journey in a space
capsule so small he can barely
move.
The experimental capsule Is
broom-c closet sizes feet long,
2 feet high, 224 feet wide.
Trial confinements started
in mid-July. They will con-
tinue until 40 men have been
tested at the rate Of one q
week.
Each of 20 volunteers will
spend 40 consecutive hours in
the capsule, from Wednesday
noon to Friday noon. through
out a six-month period.
The 20 Others will remain in
the capsule during intervals
while they are being tested, but
will be able to spend a fair
amount of free time outside the
capsule during the 40 hour
period.
Half the members of each
group will eat a special space
diet Of fruit juices, meat cubes,
cheese. roast beef and candies
while in the capsule. The others,
for comparative purposes, will
be on a conventional diet.
The experiments are under
way in a darkened room at the
Aerospace Medical Laboratory
at Wright Air Development
Center at Dayton, Ohio.
They were described in con-
nection with an Air Research

aviation exhibit at the Air Force
Association convention. srhe

studies will be used in setting
