be intrusted to joint board of con-
troll. 1t seems to me that the ap-
pointment Of representative citizens
to cooperate with the Commission
ers or city managers should operate
to hasten and not to delay the plan
OF representation in Congress.
Some delegates have criticized the
plan proposed by the committee of
the federation for the selection of
this advisory council or committee
for fear that it would impair the
usefulness of the Federation of Citi-
zens and perhaps destroy it. Per-
haps better plan could be devised.
l am decidedly of the opinion that
at least one amendment should be
made to this plan-namely-that the
candidates for members of the pro-
posed committee or council should be
members of neighborhood associations
and not selected from the general
civic bodies which are members OF
the federation. If citizens, who
might be candidates, are now mem
bers of the general civic bodies and
not members of the neighborhood
associations, il would be very
simple matter for them to join their
neighborhood association.

Must Go to Congress.
There are problems of courts and
the proper administration of justice,
of school boards and the direction
and management of education that
are not now essentially part of the
duties of the Commissioners. The
problem of the budget for a great
city, even though it be the National
Capital where more than half the
citizenship owns more than half the
property, calls for the separation of
the District budget from the general
Government budget. Whatever pow
ers Commissioners may have, what
ever duties may be delegated to
school boards, and coming and public
utilities commissions, appropriations
must be secured from Congress.
The proper adjustment of financial
ARRANGEMENTS between the Federal
Government and the independent cit

DR.. AT. zAHM GETS
NOTRE DAME HONOR
aLaetare Medal Bestowed on
Director of Navy's Aero
dynamicaI Laboratory.

By the Associated Press.
SOUTH BEND, Ind, March 2l.-Dr.
Albert Francis Zahm, director of the
erodynamical laboratory, Navy De-
paytment, Washington, has been
awarded the annual Laetare medal
from the University OF Notre Dame.
II was announced today.
The medal is the highest honor ac-
corded by the university to member
of the Catholic laity in America. 1t is
given each year to man or woman
who distinguishes himself in public
service. Notre Dame began award
ing the medal in 1883,

tire yesterday of the honors accorded
him. The award of the medal will
take place here, he believes.
Made Vital Researches.
The medal is in recognition of i'm
portant aerodynamical researches
conducted by DR.. Zahm since 1900,
when he established at Catholic Uni
versity here the first aerodynamical
laboratory in America. At that time
he constructed one of the first wind
tunnels" ever used in such researches,
besides many other devices for test
ing the fea asibility of proposed air
craft
This pioneer laboratory was finan-
ced by group of men supporting the
late Hugo Mattullath. inventor who
had planned a gigantic flying boat
capable of carrying 80 persons, and
who wished to have his invention
tested out in model form before pro-
ceeding to the actual construction.
Mattullath died, however. before the
tests were completed, and the plans
collapsed.
Before America entered the World
War, DIR. Zahm left his position as
professor of mechanics at Catholic
University to become head of the re-
search department of the Glenn Cur
tiss airplane works. With the en-
trance of America into the war he
was called to Washington by the
Government to take over the Navy
Departments aerodynamical labora-
tory at the navy yard, where he has
conducted many valuable experiments
in aircraft construction and opera
ton.
Models OF Famous Airship.
DR.. Zahm tested models of the
Shenandoah before construction on
the big ship was begun. tried out
models of the famous NC4, which
crossed the ocean. approved plans for
the Navy speed planes which estab-
lished world records, and he has eX-
perimented. in fact, with every i'm
portant new type of aircraft used by
the Navy.
He is now engaged in writing a
handbook on aerodyamics and in in
vestigating the cause of the recent
crash at the Naval Air Station at
Anacostia. in which a new type ma
chine fell, spinning like a leaf, to
the ground. He found the spinnin e
was caused by the shape of the fusel-
age, and by testing out a different
shape solved the problem definitely.
DR.. Zahm formerly was member
Of the faculty of Notre Dame.
He resides at the Cosmos Club.

be returned to Mrs. Mary Dean Reed
widow of Werner Y. Reed, oil million;
aire, by virtue OF a decision of the
United States supreme court, which
held that the government had no right
to impose an inheritance tax on trusts
formed before the law taxing them
was passed. Such an lmpost. 1t was
held, is unconstitutional as it is of a
retroactive nature.
Mrs. Reed paid s9TS.O00 tax on her
husbands estate to the federal gov
eminent In May, 1924. In July, 1924,
she sued for the return OF the money
with interest at 8 per cent. which
brings the total due her to more than
100000.
According to the suit filed originally
by Mrs Reed, her husband established
In 1902, In Paris. France. a trust fund
for the benefit OF Mrs. Reed and their
children This fund was added to
from time to time. until II grew to In
clude more than S3,000OO0 Of the $14,-
O0OO estate.
When Reed died In 1919 the federal
government made an assessment OF his
estate. as a result OF which an inheri-
lance tax Of $685. 600 was found TO be
due from the estate on the trust fund.
In order to avoid dlstralnt Of her prop
erty, Mrs. Reed stated In her suit she
had paid this assessment and filed
action for It's return at the earliest
possible date.
