asks $4.2 billion for the Ma

Past wars call for S5.4 billion

Peace scares have been

CAB Examiner
Asks Inquiry
IntoAir Routes
BY the Associated Press


A Civil Aeronautics Board
examiner recommended today
denial Of the application of
Northeast Airlines for a perma-
nent route between New York
and Florida.
Examiner Walter w. Bryan
said more service is needed
than is now provided by Ma
tional and Eastern Airlines. but
he said Northeast Airlines has
not shown it was able to pro-
vide the service authorized.
He recommended that the
CAB start an investigation into
the adequacy of air service in
the New England area, and be-
tween that area and New York,
Philadelphia, Baltimore and
Washington. ~.
He also recommended that a
proceeding be started to select
an airline to provide the service
required.
Mr.. Bryan said that the
Hughes Tool Co., which has
acquired control of Northeast.
may itself be financially fit to
provide the air service involved.
But he added it is not the APP
plicant for the route award,
nor has it said how far it would
go to sustain Northeast in the
future, should operating losses
occur.
The examiner noted that
Toolco had indicated that it
was unwilling to lend Northeast
cash to pay off back debts. and
added that there seemed to be
little hope, in the foreseeable
future. for Northeast TO make
a profit to pay off its past in
debtednesS.
THE vagueness surrounding
Toolco's future commitments
to Northeast forces the conclu-
sion that If a permanent certi-
ficate is not forthcoming in
this proceeding, then no further
financial aid would he granted
to Northeast" Mr.. Bryan said.
The examiner said an inves-
tigation is long overdue into
the adequacy Of air service in
the New England area, where
he said air service has been
deteriorating for the past few
years.
He characterized a proposal
by Delta Airlines for a route
between New York and Florida
as cream skimming." anc
recommended that the appli-
cation be denied.
Mr.. Bryan also recommended
denial of the application o.
Allegheny Airlines to operate
nonstop service between New
York and Washington.

40 PCT CAPACITY BOOST
Huge PEPCO Plant Takes Shape
By TRUMAN r. TEMPLE
Star staff Writer

Star staff WRITER
A huge new electric power
generating plant. capable Of
lighting the entire States of
Nevada and Wyoming. with
juice to spare, is taking shape
in Southern Maryland.
When finished 1t will add
nearly 40 per cent to the exist
ing capacity Of Potomac Elec-
trio Power Co.
Yet the plant contains only
two units, a symptom Of a long
range trend in the industry.
Like other utilities, PEPCO is
moving away from multiple
units Of small output and to-
ward a few big generators Ca
pable Of supplying power singly
for an entire city or sparSely
populated State.
The rule Of thumb in the in
dustry is one kilowatt per per-
son. Thus, PEPCO's new plant
at Chalk Point on the Patuxent
River in Prince Georges County
will deliver $4,000 kilowatts, a
comfortable margin above the
needs Of the combined 6l5,344
population for the States men,
toned above.
1905 Plant Operating
Chalk Point is a far cry from
the utility's oldest plant, the
one on Benning road NE. near
Minnesota avenue in the Dis
trict. Built in 1905. it has II
units, some Of which can pro-
duce no more than 12,500 kilo-
watts.
The industry has steadily i'm
proved efficiency while moving
toward giant generators. Edi-
sons early models in the 1880s
required about 10 pounds Of
coal to produce a kilowatt-hour
Of electricity. Today's units use
less than three-fifths Of q
pound.
The new Chalk Point facility,
located IS miles southeast of
Washington, is budgeted at 500
million and will be the largest
in PEPCO'S system Of five
plants. Others are Buzzard
Point, which began operations
in 1888; Potomac River. 1949,
and Dickerson, Md. 1859.
Chalk Point will be opened
in two stages, the first unit in
the spring of 1864 and the Sec
; ond a year later. Its boilers
will be II stories high and
its massive generators, built by
General Electric Co., will kick
out $4,000 kilowatts apiece.
Wide Area Of Need
A railroad siding seven miles
long is being constructed off
. the Pennsylvania Railroads &C.
dar Point line to deliver coal
to the plant, which is expected
to burn 2 million tons of coal
a year.
A company spokesman said
the new plant is being added
to meet demands of growing
population and increased use
of electricity in the 643-square-
! mile area Of Maryland and the
! District served by PEPCO. The
utility has also acquired several
T, other sites for future expan-
sion, including one far to the
: south. at Morgantown, Md. OF
; the Potomac.
Location Of the Chalk Point
station on a 1,15S-acre site oil
Swanson Creek, near the Pa
tuxent. was partly dictated by
the need for an abundant watel
supply. since the generators
are turned by steam turbines.
Among the reason fol

program, which will reach {
