FAA Creates New Unit
To Test Pilots Aging

things a man loses with age
that make him dangerous as q
pilot or an air traffic controller.
Heretofore. geriatric research
has been carried on in seq
mented fashion, but the new
operation connects these seq
ments with new and, in some
cases, rare devices and elec-
tronic computers.
1860 Rules Cited
The FAA last year ordered
two highly controversial rules
all commercial
airline pilots at the age Of so;
taking all those of SIS from the
controls of turbine powered
aircraft and denying any pilot
license to a person with a car
diac history.
These brought fast and vig-
orous protest from the Air Line
Pilots Association and the Air
craft Owners and Pilots Asso-
citation.
The new research branch
staff will carry out studies or
volunteers from pilot groups
air traffic controllers, solicited
volunteers from the FAA anc
university personnel.
1t will do regular examina'
tions Of pilots, but they will moi
be required to take all the test

Highway Chief
Cites Big Cost
Of Subway
BY GILBERT GINfBLE
Star StaR Writer


District Highway Director
Harold L. ,Aitken said today
he's not so sure that subwayS
or rail lines would provide
area commuters with rapid
transit" -,
He told a member Of the
District Citizens Advisory
Council that it would probably
be more correct to refer to
subways as rail transit"
rather than rapid transit"
The city's highway director
said that it may turn out by
the. time commuter drives or
walks to a subway or rail sta
ton in, the suburbs he may
find his committing time to be
considerably longer than II he
just stepped on an express bus
nearer his home which would
carry him closer to his office.
Opposes Freeze
Mr.. Aitken made the COM
ment during q discussion Of
the effect of a five-year freeze
that Congress has placed on
new major highway constrtlc-
ton in most Of the Northwest
area. He said highway Off
cials are firmly opposed to the
freeze and that it already has
delayed some highway plan
ming.
The citizens council is con.
sidering whether it should
back a move to win repeal
of the highway construction
freeze. The Washington area
division Of the American Au-
tomobile Association has rec
commended such q move.
Mr.. Aitken said he did not
want his remarks to be con-
strued as meaning he is op-
posed to all rail transit for the
District area. He said that it
should be part Of a balanced
mass transportation system"
Cites Bus Flexibility
But he emphasized that
modern buses running along
express freeways would pro-
vide a more flexible and eco
nomic transit system. He said
studies show subways would
cost $40 million q mile COM
Ipared to $12 million o mile for
freeways. 81 {
The National Capital Trans
Iportation Agency Is now devel-
oping q plan for q mass transit
system for the Washington
region which is to be ready in
about q year and a half.
Mr.. Aitken said the five-year
freeze which was included in
the act establishing the trans
portation study agency. has In
directly delayed planning for
the proposed Three Sisters
Island bridge and its approach
roads. The proviso also has
held up plans for the Glover
Archbold parkway which has
been tied up by an injunction
suit brought in District Court
} by opponents Of the parkway.

7.6% Increase
In Teacher Pay
Proposed Here
Hansen Estimates
Cost to District -.
At $3.4 Million
BY JOHN ROSSON
star Staff Writer

School Supt. Carl r. Hansen
and two committees of the Dis
trict School Board yesterday
asked for q rs per cent increase
in teachers salaries.
If the full board approves
the proposal ut q meeting next
week, the plan would then 60
to the District Commissioners
and finally to Congress.
The plan, DR.. Hansen said,
would add about $3.4 million
annually to the cost Of present
salaries. Last March, the city
asked the legislators for q
teacher salary boost of about
IS per cent, but Congress
granted a raise Of 71a per cent.
In effect. the board is now
seeking the balance Of the
request.
Not all salary levels are
affected In the new proposal
The greatest changes would
come at the maximum level in
each Of the salary classes
which would be reached In Il
steps instead Of the present 13
The plan also calls for a sin.
gle pay scale for all principals
Elementary school principals
now get from $10.643 to $l0,S5s
annually: junior high principals
$11.073 to $11,28S, and senior
high principals $11,395 to $11.-
$40. Under yesterdays pro.
posal. the single scale would rur
from $12,4 to $4,000.
Also included in the plan Il
an increase in the superintend.
ent's salary from $4,000 tt
$25, 900. a request which was cut
from the proposal approved BY
Congress last year.
Under the new bill. the mini.
mum salary for a beginning
teacher with q bachelors degret
would remain at $4,000, but TIT
holder Of q masters degree with
80 teaching credits could ge'
$500. or about $1,000 more I
year than is obtainable undel
the present scale.
Teachers with masters de-
srees but with less than 81
credits could earn $500 Will,
those with 80 credits could &c
$9,100. In each case, the DIFF
ference Is approximately 81, l,00

The

Ponders on
Memorial Form
Ry.GEORGE KENNRpY

What form should . mod
ern memorial to o great
leader take?
That question became para
mount yesterday in viewing
the models and drawings
entered In the contest for q
design for q Franklin D.
Roosevelt Memorial to be
erected in West Potomac
Park between the Tidal Basin
and the river. -..
The models are being ex-
hibited by the American
Institute Of Architects in the
Cercoran Gallery.
The show opens today with
some ceremony.
But william r. Peterson,
the winner of the $4,000
prize, will not be on hand.
His office is in New York.
In the days of the New
Deal, leaders of commerce.
and industry had an under
standable complaint that the
Washington atmosphere was
not friendly to business.
Apparently Mr.. Peterson
feels, with much justification,
that the Washington atmos-
phere is not friendly to mod
.ern art or architecture.
His suggested monument
has been mockingly called a
goth Century Stonehenge
after the prehistoric mega
lithic memorials to some
thing everyone has forgotten
that rise from Salisbury
Plain.

CREATIVE SPIRITS are

.
CREATIVE SPIRITS are
very sensitive. ! am sure Mr..
Peterson has been hurt by
the reception accorded his
design. The $50,000 prize he
won is insufficient balm.
AS Henry Dora, assistant
director of the Corcoran,
suggested yesterday, Peder-
sons "team'-there are q
landscape architect and a
sculptor in on the plan
probably spent more than
that working on their de-
sign.
You can realize that when
you see the model and the
drawings submitted.
AS everyone knows by this
time the suggested memorial
is a number of stone hinges
chats as good a term to
describe them as any OF
various breadth and height,
The largest ones will be over
165 feet high.
They would make an in
tereSting addition TO the
washington skyline where
everything conforms to the
classical except the towers Of
the old Smithsonian and 0
few steeples.
The drawing states that
they are to be "incised"-I
like that word-with the
writings and speeches OF
FDR.
What should q modern
memorial be? Lincoln sits
comfortably within his col
onnade. Jefferson stands
nobly in his rotunda.
II bronze were used FDR
with his legs in painful
braces could be coming down
the ramp Of his plane with
the'long cigarette holder and
the famous smile that showed
his indomitable spirit.
But that's out. Anything
representational is not mod
ern. None of the drawings I
examined suggested O sculp-
tured figure
A Mr.. Barnett Of the Cor
coran staff pointed out that
several OF the contestants
had been shooting in the
same direction as the win
ner. One suggested q number
of masonry pylons (for want
Of d better word) Of varying
rectangular cross section and
varying height. I
APPARENTLY PILGRIMS
could enter rooms In the
bases. The lettering on the
drawing suggested that this
memorial would provide for
vocal and visual reproduc-
tion Of the great events in
FDR's career. s.
Now to this journalistic
mind that suggestion makes
sense.
Franklin D. Roosevelt was
Governor In New York when
the great change came In the
movies-sound. e..
Sound was Immediately
successful in the newsreels.
There used to be little thea
ters that showed newsreels
only.
More than 10 years ago Sc
lected newsreels were strung
together into a full-length
movie called "The Roosevelt
Story" 1t was a good picture
for those interested In recent
history.
Let the monument take
what form distinguished
architects and laymen decide
on. But let's not be content
with the great FDR phrases
''incised" In stone. We have
something more modern than
that.
Let's make use Of 1t to in
sure that future generations
Of school children visiting
Washington will not 80 away
from the memorial unaware
OF the man for whom II waa
constructed.

few days ago. Wittgenstein,
who was born In Vienna,
made his debut as a pianist
in 1918. He lost his right
arm in World War I, and set
about making a career as q
one-armed pianist. He COM
missioned concertos from
Pr0kOfiev, Ravel and Rich
ard Strauss. Sir Thomas
Beecham, age 81, died early
Wednesday. He had an ex-
traordinarily varied repertory
and an equally remarkable
ability to make Second-rate
and worse orchestraS sound
almost great. Readers who
remember his autobiography,
"A Mingled Chime" (1943),
know that his reputation as
wit and raconteur is not
exaggerated.
