Record as
I'd Busiest

Airline operations at National
Airport during 1859 were the
second highest in the world,
the Federal Aviation Agency
reported today.
Summing up for last year,
the FAA announced that total
aircraft movements handled by
the Washington air traffic con-
trollers averaged one takeoff
or landing every 100 seconds,
day and night, throughout the
365 days.
1t was an all-time peak, as
was the total of 5,050,69O
passengers who passed through
the terminal. The passenger
increase was ia per cent over
1858, or 517,067.
Inc 3I3,44o aircraft opera
tions, which includes CONNER
cial and all others handled by
the National tower, represented
an increase of 11.3 per cent over
the 28l,6 ,686 handled in 1858.
Busiest day of the year was
on June 10, when the tower
handled 1905 takeoffs and
landings, or an average of one
every 70 seconds.
In terms of airline operations,
Washington was second high
in the Nation, and thus in the
world, with 249,41 takeoffs and
landings.
Only Midway Airport at Chi
cago, with 345,170 operations,

Weather
Warning Due
ForDrivers

A bad weather warning sys-
tenn for motorists to cover the
Metropolitan Area is being de-
viSed as a result of the recent
number of traffic accidents in
cluding the five highway fatal
tiles that occurred on rain
swept streets and highways last
Friday.
District Engineer 'Commis-
sioner A. C. yelling announced
yesterday the plan has been
agreed to in principle by traffic
officials throughout the region.
The warning to keep off
streets and highways whenever
possible would be sent out when
heavy rain or fog conditions
were expected similar to the
snow warning system now in
use, Brig. Gen. yelling said.
The warning would be broad
cast on radio and television
stations.
He said traffic engineers also
will study the feasibility of
special distinctive lights or sig
mails which would usually eau
tion motorists or pedestrians
during bad weather conditions. p"
Assistant Engineer Commits
sioner Jess Unger, executive di-
rector of the Metropolitan Area
Traffic Council, is in the pro-
cess of devising the bad weather
warning system. Col. Unger said
the proposal has met with ap-
proval throughout the area.
Gen. yelling stated that the
problem becomes more acute
when bad weather conditions
hit during the evening rush

Fer Dinner
BY JOHN McKELWAY

A veteran of the quick

dinner out of the way-the
Substitute Rambler hid in
the shadows until dinner
was served.
Obviously, the guests had
come to dine of the finest
attending lie Diner des
Amis d'Escoffier, held this
year and last night at the
Kenwood Country Club. And
at least one guest was not
too sure of his Truffle Sau-

Monopole to engage anyone
in conversation without run
ming the risk of complete
exposure as nothing more
than a can opener.
The Substitute Rambler
crouched behind a piano and
waited.
Soon, about 70 men went
in to dinner. They sat down
and there was a discussion
over whether the napkin
should be placed immedi-
ately in front of the Adams
apple or slightly to the right.
Some said it didn't matter;
others said it did.

back into the cab and asked to
be driven to First and F

When the cab arrived there
the man suddenly held a pen
knife to Mr.. Bingler's throat.
Mr.. Bingler grabbed the mans
hand, and the pair tumbled out
onto the street. BY the time
the struggle was over, the rob-
ber had ripped the cab drivers
rear pocket off, and cut him on
a finger and on the throat. He
ran off with Mr.. Bingler's
wallet.
The driver was taken to Dis
trict General Hospital, treated
and released. Police are looking

Teachers Pay Raise
Urged at Annapolis
Crowd of 1000
Jams HEARING
On Two Bills
By PAUL HOPE
Star Stan Writer

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 9.-More
than 1000 persons jammed the
State House today urging the
General Assembly to give
teachers higher pay.
Arriving by buses and cars
from all sections of the State,
the crowd overflowed the House
of Delegates chamber where a
Joint hearing was held by the
Senate Finance and House
Ways and Means Committees.
Under consideration are two
bills: The James bill, supported
by the Governor, which would
give raises only to veteran
teachers, and another spon-
sored by the Maryland State
Teachers Association which
would give an average $460
raise to all teachers.
Tawes Stands Fast
Even while the crowd was
milling around in State House
corridors. Gov. Tawes told leg
islative leaders he is standing
by his teacher pay proposal and
does not intend to bow to pres
sure for more money.
The Governor met with lead
ers of the House and Senate
and the chairman of several
important committees. The
Governors program would cost
about $4.3 million while the
teachers association bill would
cost about S13 million the first
year.
Big posters urging support Of
the teachers association bill
were hung over the balcony at
the hearing. One of them pic
tured an infant asking. Who
will teach me?"
Another poster criticized the
Governors recommendation to
freeze $12 million of an esti-
mated $22 million surplus. The
Governor wants to keep the
S12 million to help balance the
1862 fiscal budget.
The poster said that 3,777
teachers at the beginning of
the current school session did
not have college degrees. Lets
raise the, roof a bit and make
the necessary financial re-
pairs" the poster urged.
Support Pledged
Mrs. Fred Bull of Prince
Georges County, legislative
chairman for the Maryland
Congress of Parents and
Teachers, said that the teacher
association bill lis very realis-
tic and sound and is needed
now"
Today's hearing followed a
mass demonstration last night
by Prince Georges County citi-
zens favoring the teachers as
sociation bill. Nearly 1000
Prince Georges residents in a
200-car caravan appeared for
last nights session of the Leg
islature.
They drew from the Prince
Georges County legislators a
pledge to support higher
teacher pay than that proposed
by Gov. TaweS.
