T Request Funds Neuberger's office was in formed by CAA r that federal funds would be requested for a Salem tower as soon as Salem shows the minimum traffic count but tbo budget cycle would require abouttwo years before action could be expected. Mean while, Neuberger was told, "the only quick solution we can sug gest is to olfer to establish and operate the Salem tower on a reimbursable basis." - The CAA said it would prepare cost estimatea if Salem showed interest in the proposal.

The trailer court is half a mile from where the molten mass landed. One of the planes was from Mac Dill Air Force Bace near Orlando.
