Prospects for a county air port on Whidbey Island began to pick up filgtlt speed this week with an announcement that the Navywilldeclaresur• plus Its outlying field near Coupeville. First word of the pending transaction was flashed to Whldbey by Sen. Henry M. Jackson, who has been work ing closely with Navy, FAA aoo county people to secure the unused field as a base for clvlllan air traffic on the Island. Subsequent telephone calls from Congressman Jack Westland explained in detail the action that yet must be taken before the 660 acre air• field property becomes avail able to the county. Attempts to secure the out· 1 ying field for cl vlllan use have been going on for months, Earlier, zilavy officials had declared the field too close to NAS Whldbey air traffic to be suitable for civilian filghts, Jackson's telegram noted that In approving disposal of the airfield, the ~avy wlll ask that It be placed under the Jurisdiction of the NAS control tower, and be subject to Navy use In case of emergency moblllzatlon. County officials Indicated Monday that neither request will create any problem. Congressman Westland 's Public Relations man -- for mer Belllnl!ham Herald re• porter Sid ~alley -- reported for Westland Tuesday that ap proval to dispose of the property has been granted by the Chief of Naval Operations and forwarded to the office of Assistant Secretary of Navy Kenneth E, BeLleu. County officials , meeting Monday, appraised the sltua• tlon and agreed that CoWlty Enl!lneer Richard Hulseman Is the man to oversee acquisi tion of the property, Hulse man, It was noted, has been the most active in trying to Parents rush to beaten son in Anchorage Mr. and Mrs. Hill Barring· ton of Midway Boulavard, Oak Harbor made a rush trip to their son Bill In Anchorage Alaska last week.

In giving him the go ahead to k~p a finger on pending activity, It was Indicated that too many agencies dabbling In the affair might queer the county's chances of getting the field. Hulseman has been working In close cooperation with Sen. Jackson. Westland's office said Tuesday that once the Navy request to dispose of the field clears BeLleu It will really be airborne, since approval by Secretary of the Navy Patil Nltze ls merely a formality based on BeLleu 's decision'. Exactly what the county's next steps are In gaining ownership of the field at that point are not yet jelled, Hulseman will work out these details with Sen. Jackson. Sen, Jackson's telegram to the Island Telegraph last Thursday said; "The Department of the ~ 1 :';ll make surplus Its uy landlng froeld at Coupeville, Sen, Henry M, Jackson said today.
