Bur ton doesn't exactly like are blizzards, a radio code called "Charlie 14 and carelessness, Burton, known as Lou to hundreds of avalation people, happens to be director of Washington National airport and is rated one of the top airport chiefs in the world. Burton runs an airport that is one of the nation's biggest and busiest (as many as 1 264 flights daily). His domain includes 264 employes rang ing from janitors to highly trained safety specialists. It also Includes 760 acres of cement real estate that can add up to about 20 major headaches a day. The biggest is weather, par ticularly heavy snow. A bliz zard to Lou Burton means working 24 hours around the clock, trying desperately to keep runways open and planes flying. During recent winter storms that clobbered the Eastern Seaboard, i Bur ton's snow-r e m o v a 1 crews worked 100 consecutive hours mostly a losing battle, but a winning fight in one respect Washington National always had at least one runway open for any lost plane that had to land somewhere. !

Send all orders tor either plans or books to Mln. walha Estea. P.O. box 404-T. North- rids. Calif. His main creed is safety. National airport has one of the best emergency setups in the country and it is due mainly to Burton's fetish for preparedness. When "Charlie 13" blares forth over the air port's loud speaker system (the code for any emergency situation), every man on duty knows exactly where to go and what to do. The . airport's 14 firemen can wake from a sound sleep and hit a runway in exactly 13 seconds. The airport police are specially trained in hand ling crowds and traffic. And Burton, a bug on training, makes sure everyone knows the other guy's job as well as his own. During the snow emergency, for example, an upholsterer found himself op erating a snow plow. Burton holds regular meet ings with airline representa tives, mostly to refresh them on emergency procedures. His advance planning even goes so far as to order the batteries on the airport fire , trucks checked twice, dally, so there can never be a stalled emer gency vehicle. The engines on all fire and rescue trucks are pre-heated so they'll start fast in any weather. . ' ;. ' Burton gets to ' work as early as 7 a.m. His first task Is to take a radio-equipped police cruiser and tour every nook and corner of the air port grounds, taxiways ' and runways.. He always stops by the Airport . Operations and safety. Office and . gets a briefing on any -unusual events. He gets dictation done by 10 a.m. and holds the rest of the morning open for staff conferences and meetings with airline officials, conces sionaires and others. - Afternoons generally con sist of further conferences on future airport construction and facilities planning, Right now, Burton is up to his ears with plans for a new baggage center ("It'll be the most mod ern setup possible," - he en thuses) and other moderniza tion projects. Among his problems is con stant liason with the Secret Service. When the President decides to fly out of Wash ington National, Burton or ders pre-arranged security plans Into effect. It isn't generally known, but when the President greets an arriving foreign dignitary, the airlines are notified their flights may i be subject to slight delays so the welcom ing and responsive speeches won't be drowned out by en gine noise. "We had a beautiful setup with President Eisenhower," Burton recalled. "He'd wel come an incoming foreign of ficial on a little platform. I'd stand right near the platform with a walkie-talkie and just before Ike would start his lit tle speech, I'd flash the word to the tower." The tower, Burton explain ed, in turn would notify all planes parked in the ramp area not to start engines until the tower advised the cere mony was over. "We even distributed a lit- EP Students Will Attend Music Event Eagle Point -r- Five Eagle Point High school students will participate in the 14th annual Music in.

The theft of a binder chain and cable binder from a Butte Falls area home was reported yesterday. . vA pump, irrigation pipe and a butane heater were taken from the Lee Dean Mead ranch on the Ginko rd. near Prospect last September, Helen Rosenberger, 119 North Central ave., reported to depu ties yesterday. ?- Sheriff's deputies Tuesday learned that clothes . and a, month's supply, of canned goods were taken from a Gold Hill area residence. The theft was reported by Gordon Folkestead, route 1, box 353, Gold Hill. ' . ' : ' tie speech for pilots to make over their cabin PA's, Bur ton said. "Something to the effect, "Ladies and gentlemen there will be a slight delay In take-off because the Presi dent of the United States is greeting a foreign dignitary and it would be discourteous to disrupt the ceremony by starting our engines.' " . : Burton once came a crop per with Eisenhower, , how ever. Ike, it seems, f never minded if an airplane drown ed out his own remarks, but he got obviously angry if anything disturbed his visi tor's answering remarks. "I don't remember who the visitor was on this occasion," Burton said, "but everything was quiet while Eisenhower was speaking and just as the visitor started talking, some body started up his engines, All I could see was the red on the back i of Ike's heck, mounting slowly until it cov ered his whole face and head. He just . looked at me and glared." Burton s spacious office al so is a complaint department and the gripers range from irate passengers who find parking places to con cessionaires who storm In and say, "So-and-so is selling Items which we're supposed to have exclusively. "People also complain to us about late flights," Burton added somewhat wistfully. I have to tell them this is an airline problem and there's nothing we can do about it." Surveyors Attend Corvallis Meeting A group of local surveyors attended a technical confer- ence at Corvallis recently which was presented by the Oregon section of the Ameri can congress on surveying and mapping. Making the trip were Ice land P. Lovejoy, Edward A. McGinty, ; Charles H. Hurst and Harry L. Lake, : party chief. , , i Subjects at the conference included aerial and geologi cal mapping in Oregon, legal aspects of determining, rights in property abutting a body of water, : and .the St, Johns can't Renewal plan. Burton also acts as 'some-i thing of a police commission er. His 39-man police force Is assigned the duties of en- forcine airport, traffic laws generally written by the di rector himself. Burton has au thority to j post'- automobile speed limits on roads in the airport area as well as air plane . speed limits ' in the ramp area. He also distributes seven different types of, aw ing licenses for the various airport vehicles, ranging from giant fuel trucks to baggage cars. - "The tests are rough," Bur ton remarked, "and now and then we throw a refresher test at a driver just to make sure he isn't getting careless. Fuel truck drivers in partic ular get a lot of watching be cause they're hauling around potential . disaster," Burton's hobbles are gon and fishing, neither i of which he enjoys very frequently. "I guess my job s my hobby now, . he mused. 1 Even wnen I'm driving home I've got a shortwave set in my car tuned , to the airport ..fre quency."
