New Agency
Requested f or
Modernizing
Airways Control
By ED CREAGH
WASHINGTON, UP)—President
Eisenhower asked Congress yes
terday to set up a new agency to
decide on ways of modernizing
the nation’s airways control sys
tem so it can handle the ever
increasing traffic.
“This measure will greatly ex
pedite the improvement of air
traffic control and air navigation
and I therefore urge its early en
actment,” the President said in a
special message.
His recommendation accompan
ied a report by Edward P. Curtis,
who was appointed a special pres
idential assistant more than a
year ago and assigned the job of
tackling the air traffic problem.
Curtis has been an Eastman Ko
dak Co. vice president and an Air
Force general.
Curtis proposed a three-mem
ber Airways Modernization Board
to decide what devices and sys
tems are needed to control civil
airplanes which, he estimated,
will fly 70 billion passenger miles
a year by 1975.
He noted, too, that military and
civil planes share the same air
space and he said the over-all
traffic control system “is an es
sential part of our national de
fense against air attack.”
Curtis said present government
efforts to cope with the problem
are too “scattered” to be effective.
Until now, he said, selection of
control methods has been “dan
gerously slow”; with the result
that the present system is “anti
quated and under strength.”
Curtis said the board would
conduct “a joint analysis, test and
selection activity which recog
nizes that the national system
must accommodate the civil and
military air traffic in peace or
war.”

CAREN CRABBE
DIES AT 20 YEARS
LOS ANGELES, tPl—Actor Bus- i
ter Crabbe said today that the
cause of his 20-year-old daugh
ter’s death yesterday was “loss of
appetite due to a nervous condi
tion.”
His attractive daughter, Caren
Lynn Crabbe, a coed at the Uni
versity of Southern California un
til a month ago, was found dead
in a bed at her grandparents’
home.
An autopsy failed to find the
cause of death. A coroner’s physi
cian said Miss Crabbe weighed
only 60 pounds at the time of her
death.
However, Crabbe told a report
er that doctors had informed him
that a “mental disturbance” had
caused his daughter to lose her
appetite.
“She was going to a psychiatrist
five days a week,” he adde. “Only
last Tuesday the doctor thought
she was making progress.,

Senators Want
Study of U.S.
Financial Condition
WASHINGTON LTV—The Senate
Finance Committee today unani
mously voted a far-reaching in
vestigation of the “financial con
dition of the United States” in
cluding interest rates, revenues
and the handling of the public
debt.
One Democratic member, ask
ing that his name not be used,
called it “the Democratic Investi
gation of the Tight Money Policy
To Be Conducted by This Con
gress.”
He said it is apparent that Pres
ident Eisenhower’s proposal for a
somewhat similar probe by a
group outside of Congress is dead.
Eisenhower, in his State of the
Union message this year, asked
for a study of the fiscal and mone
tary policies of the nation by an 1
independent commission. B il 1 s
