FALLS, Sec’y. Buy U. S. War Bond* a Stamps Congressman Puts Finger 'On Air Traffic Growth Pointing to tenfold expansion forecast in airplane lake-offs aad landings by 1950. Congressman Bulwinhlo. seletnu North Carolina l.ejfis lator, explains the need for Federal airport zoning. The charts shoeing air trafiic oter airway routes, with one landing and one t ^ht-off each counted as o:te unit, indicate ii million movement* in lWi!, t he projec tion line Ciriiatr...’ ■■ CC rn.lJ'on movements by 1950. By ALFRED L. BULWINKLE Congressman, North Carolina The Lea-Bailey Bill now before Congress proposes a nation-wide system for zoning the vicinity of airports so as to regulate the height of structures to the extent ne cessary to protect the flight approach paths. Such zoning is as essential to safety in the An Agt as is Federal regulation of obstacles to the navigable wat ers with which we have long been familiar. The I.ea-Baiiey Bill wisely provides that the states and mu nicipalities shall be encouraged to* take the initiative in provid ing for sucli airport zoning. It provides further that nationwide standards for zoning should be worked out in co-operation be tween the state, municipal and the Federal authorities. Finally, it provides tiiat, where necessary as a last resort, the Federal gov ernment may step in and itself enforce height regulations. The question of maintaining reasonably unobstructed ap proach paths to airports has, as yet, been seriously considered in only isolated cases. Unfortunate ly, however, there have already occured fatal accidents due to the wholly unnecessary presence of trees or poles near airport boundaries. Moreover, there have occured instances of -spite-in spired erection of poles and oth er obstructions directly in the approach paths. ,A pole, erected out of sheer spite and costing on ly a few dollars, has actually put out of commission or materially curtailed the use of air airport costing many hundreds of thou sands of dollars—not to mention the commercial loss involved in inability of aircraft to use the airport. Sucli unreasonable and unnec essary obstacles can hardly be tolerated in the Air Age. The punctuality of the mail, the safe ty of passengers, the delivery of cargo Cannot be jeopardized by such obstacles. But far more serious is the danger to our military air force. During the present war literally millions upon millions of dollars have been spent in providing a strategic network of airports ne cessary to the complete mobility of our airforces if our nation is to be properly defended Unless there is to be reasonable regula tion of the structures which can be erected in the vicinity of such airports, the Government’s in vestment in them can be render ed valueless and our air forces can be seriously crippled if not made impotent. In the case of our navigable waters, the Secretary of War has the most drastic powers for removing obstacles without any compensation whatsoever to the landowners. These drastic powers have been in existence for fifty years and their propriety has never been seriously questioned. The proposal in the Lea-Bailey Bill is much less drastic. It pro vides the localities with every op portunity to act upon their own initiative and to deal with the problem locally. And if as a last resort the Federal Government must step in, adequate compen sation is provided for. The rea sonableness of such a measure j should appeal to everyone. A few years ago one of the great airliners of an airline which had never had an accident took off from an airport from which it had regularly operated for many years. A few seconds after the takeoff it crashed into a high-tension line. The plane, its occupants and Its cargo were bullied. That high-tension line had been strung during the night and without warning a short dis tance from tlw airport boundary America’s conquest of the air can never be complete until such tragedies as this are prop erly guarded against In tin- law of the land.

Quick passag* was expected in the Senate and administration leaders said President Roosevelt would 1st it ’become law. The 250 to 114 House vote relegated to history the bitterest party legislative battle of recer.t years, in which House Republi cans supported and Democrat’ opposed various Versions of the P.uml plan to skip an entire year 'The bill received the votes of 89 Democrats and 167 Republicans, while 99 Democrats, 12 Republi cans and three minor party mem bers opposed it. Today’s action was on a com promise, devised after legislative machinery fell into a four-month? stab mate on the Ruml issue Representative Knutson Republi can of Minnesota, described the compromise as ‘*75 per cent of the Rural plan." 'file bill provides: 1. 100 per cent, abatement for each taxpayer owing up to $50 in taxe^ for the one year, 1942 or 1943, in which he had the smallest, taxable income. 2. A flat $50 abatement for euch person whose abatement year (1942 or 1943) tax bill in between $50 and $66.67. 3. An abatement, of 75 percent for all persons with an abatement year bill over $66.67, with the remaining 25 per cent to be paid on March 15, 1945, in addition to current taxes. (Persons in the $50 to $66.6? classification also would pay off their small remain ing debt in two such install ments.) FINAL BATTLE A segment of Democrats wag od a last ditch battle against the compromise. Representative For and. Democrat of Rhode Island, declared "This compromise is nothing but the Ruml plan in a new dress," and Representative Disney, Democrat of Oklahoma, saving ‘this is sorry busines." In the one-hour debate, Chair man Houghton, Democrat of North Carolina, of the tax-fram inp ways and means committee, was one. of the few Democrats to support the compromise, while BctvuhKcan after Republican spoke for it. The most immediate effect of the measure will be the withhold in" levy, under which, one month, from today, the government will begin deducting 20 per cent (after family status exemptions) from pay envelopes and salary iheckt. The legislation does not excuse tax-payers from payment of the •econd installment of their tax obligation as shown in returns filed last March. This installment falls duo just two weeks hence, on .lune 15. For most taxpayers the met sure will mean that they will re mit morp in income taxes during war years than they would have under the uresent law. The abate ment will not show in the taxpay ing history of the average person until his income falls off. he loc or. his join, or at death. But nay a® you-go transfers the million of taxpayers to a system of re mirting in one year on the bo;s of income of the same year, ir stead of on the previous year's irrotue as at present. Installments paid before July 1 on the basis oF 1942 income wi’i he transferred as a credit in 194-1 earners will begin paying July 1 obligations. Wages and salar » the remainder of their 1943 bio ♦hvourh the withholding ilev\ Persons with incomes other the [wages and salaries must est: mate their income for the cu re nf yerr, and continue to pay by quarterly installments. Sim* | larly. nersons with wages or sa' j aries above the 29 nor cent with 'holding level will estimate the:” j upper bracket income, and par [ quarterly on that part of the: I' blie-ation above tKe withholding level. Next March 15. all taxpavev* —as at present-—will file their final return on 1943. On this r^ turn adjustments will be made for differences between the est i mated or withheld tax. and the ■ correct tax reported by the tax : payer.
