Airport
Plan Told
By Reese

Montgomery County Manager
Melvin L. Reese disclosed Mon
day night that several private
interests "are assembling land"
and conducting engineering
surveys in Montgomery County
toward the goal of building an
airport with two landing strips.
News Of the holly argued issue
of airports in the county came
at a meeting of the Bethesda
Chevy Chase Chamber of Com
merce.
Reese told the group that so
far as he was concerned, nobody
has yet demonstrated that 1t is
feasible and advantageous for
the county to build such an air.
port. Rather, he pointed out,
private interests might be able
to make an airport a going con-
Germ.
He acknowledged, however,
that Federal aid to help build an
airport would not be given to
private developers as 1t might
be to a government.
The county failed to take ad.
vantage of over 100000 in
matching Federal funds to help
build an airport last year, de-
spite the fact that it approved
the expenditure of $4,000 to hire
an independent airport en-
gineer to explore the feasibility
of a county-built municipal air
port.
Cyril c. Thompson, an officer
OF the Aircraft Owners and
Pilots Association and former
vice president of United Air
lines last week categorically
denied that anyone has "as-
sembled" any land to build an
airport.

criticism because of its fail
ure to recognize the unusual
propensity of youngsters for
exploring railroad yards,
construction projects, exca-
vations, docks and similarly
fascinating facilities. Law
yers for injured children
argued that owners ought to
take this factor into account
and adopt measures to safe
guard child trespassers from
hidden industrial dangers.
A landmark industrial case
arose some SO years ago,
when several children en-
tered a railroad yard and
started to play with the
switching mechanism. One of
them was hurt and his fam
lily collected on the ground
that the railroad should have
realized that its equipment
held strong allure for minors.
