Customs Experience
At Friendship Airport

Thus we had only customs
to go through when we landed
at Friendship. And the facili-
ties at this comparatively mod
ern airport seemed woefully
inadequate to handle any in
crease in international flights.
They were installed before
the customs men had their
brilliant idea about the super
market checkout" system, tried
first at New York's Idlewild
and since installed at other
major airports.
Under this system, your
baggage moves along a belt
atop the counter, and is
checked out by the customs
inspector at the end.
Plans for international IA
cilities at Dulles Airport call
for IL customs inspection
counters of the supermarket
variety. These are to be ar
ranged along six H-shaped
structures.
Airport authorities here feel
these, along with immigration
and health facilities planned
for Dulles, should be adequate
to meet the requirements Of
traffic expected to develop for
some years to come.-J. j.
Success of American Air
lines "flightseeing" flights
over Washington from Ma
tional Airport has led to the
scheduling of three more dates
