SUSPENSION
LIFTED BY HOOVER
s A. Reiss Wins Return of
Pilots License and Re-
duction of Fine.

Secretary Hoover today lifted the
90day license suspension placed on
S. A. Reiss, an aviator of 1888 Twen-
tieth street. 33 days ago, and at the
same time mitigated the fine of $500
to which Reiss was liable for alleged
violation of the Commerce Depart
ment air traffic regulations. He i'm
posed on Reiss a fine of $25.
The suspended aviator was notified
in letter from Mr.. Hoover that sus-
pension Of his license. ordered October
-, is lifted today and that after to-
day Reiss may act as licensed air
plane pilot.
The aviator, who is Il pilot for the
commercial aviation company using
Hoover Field. at South Washington,
Va, was accused of low flying over
the field the morning of October 13,
during the course of which he is said
to have struck a pony with the land
ing gear of his plane and killed the
animal. There has been no charge
placed against Reiss in connection
with the killing of the pony, which
the Commerce Department holds is
entirely a matter for the State courts
of Virginia.
Called Moral Victory.
Jesse Duke, attorney for Reiss. on
receipt of the notification from Mr..
Hoover, issued n statement claiming
that lifting of the suspension consti-
tutes a mora! victory for his client.
and indicated that he will not, as he
has heretofore hinted, present the
matter to the District Supreme Court,

operated from Hoover Field.
