Airports Made of Headaches As Well As
Washington-flJPD-Among the
inings mat Lucius w. 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.

Today's Ranch and Modern Home Plan
Br HIAWATHA ESTES
Home buyers today are
moving up-to homes design
ed with, taste and built with
quality. This large home has
an outstanding floor plan plus
an imposing exterior. It of
fers many of today's popular
ly preferred, features. ,
The gable , roof over the
garage continues uninterrupt
ed past the, family room to
cover and protect the porch.
The root at the porch is sup
ported by two posts to which
has been attached a framed
screen which gives some pri
vacy to the porch and adds
to the exterior beauty of the
home. Some texture screen
has been used In the design
of the garage door,
Stone has been used for both
the planter end the chimney.
This material goes well with
the board on board siding,
the aluminum windows and
the cedar shake roof. The
unusual roof treatment re
sulting in the wide gable at
the front of the house marks
this designs as a truly mod
ern ranch home.'
A "must" when planning
a new home today is good
circulation. Note , the ease
with which you can move to
all areas In this home from
the entry without having ,to
pass through any room.
Although there . Is . access
from the garage to the rear
of the lot, . there is also a
door leading directly to the

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-

Thefts Investigated
By County Deputies
Jackson county sheriff's
deputies are investigating
three burglaries reported to
them this week.
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

A group of local surveyors
attended a technical confer-
ence at Corvallis recently
which was presented by the

cal mapping in Oregon, legal

Burton also acts as 'some-i
thing of a police commission

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.
