BUS FARE
RAISE TEST

The Washington Rapid Transit
Company should not be granted a
permanent increase in bus fares
until it has shown more definitely
that its losses are due to lack of
patronage rather than inefficient
operation, Peoples Counsel Ralph
B. Fleharty declared today in u
memorandum TO the Public Utilities
Commission.
The commission recently com.
pleted hearings on the company's
application for a straight 10-cent
cash fare. 1t is expected to reach
q decision within a few days.
If the commission decides that
the company's losses are due to
lack of patronage, and an increase
be granted such an increase should
only be effective for definite
temporary period of six months in
order, that the commission will
have a check on It's promise of i'm
proved service, F1eharty added.
Fleharty asserted that the pub
lie should not be called upon to
bear losses which may be due to
ineffiency.

NEW
AIRPORT PLAN
MISS RoEsCH

In case the Army IL unwilling to
permit the use of It's facilities at
Boiling Field for the temporary
handling of the airmail service, it
will be possible for the District to
establish its own temporary airmail
field at Giesboro Point, adjoining
Boiling Field, at a cost Of about
$35 900, 1t was announced today
by Lieut.. Donald Duke, chief of
Army airways.
Col Charles A. Lindbergh, who
arrived in Washington today. will
be Invited to inspect the available
airport sites for the National CAPT
tai from the air tomorrow
II he accepts the invitation he
will be flown by Lieut.. Donald
Duke. chief of Army sirways, who
has been assigned by the War De,
partment to assist the District
Commissioners in selecting a local
port.
"Lfndy" Is Interested
Colonel Lindbergh is deeply in
terested in the development of com
mercial aviation and in one of his
speeches here he advocated the
creation OF municipal airports in
every city, and large town in the
country.
Lieutenant Duke indicated that
the airmail service could land on
Boiling Field, taking advantage OF
the lighting system installed there
but could use it's own hangar and
buildings at the south of the field
near the steel plant.
This would meet the objection OF
the Army against having civilians
mixing with the Army personnel
and so confusing the two services
1t is not expected there will be any
objection to the air mail flyers
using Boiling Field for landing and
taking off, especially as the air.
mail flights will be made entirely
at night, when the Army field is
not normally in use.
Will Cost $4,000
In case this plan is followed. it will
become necessary for the District
to construct hangar, at an esti.
mated cost of $4,000; install one
flood light, at a cost of $500
erect a machine shop, office and
supply room, at cost of So 900,
ana lnSIdiI PLUMBING 10 furnish a
water supply, gasoline tanks and
other miscellaneous equipment. at
a cost of about 81 500. The rest OF
the $35 900 would care for leasing
of the necessary land.
Lieutenant Duke today IL com
plotting a report to the District
Commissioners covering all of the
possible airport sites in and near
the District. The report probably
will be ready by Saturday.
There are only six sites which
are worthy of consideration as pos
sible airports in the Washington
area, Lieutenant Duke stated. Two
of these have been virtually elimi
mated because of lack of size and
two because of their distance from
the center of the city.

Wife Shuns Kiss OF
Mate Sent Up
For Year

CLARENDON, Va, June %.
A wife who followed her hus-
band to court here today and
then heard him plead guilty to
a statutory offense against a
girl who made her home with
the family, refused the hus-
band a kiss when he was SEN
fenced to serve a year in the
penitentiary.
Robert L. Davis, the husband
in question, wept as he stood
before Judge Samuel G.. Brent
and begged for leniency. The
wife witnessed the proceedings.
AS Davis left the courtroom
in the custody Of an officer, he
clutched at his wife and sought
to kiss her. She repulsed him
and, dry-eyed, walked away.

clear away the effects of too copious
French provincial hospitality. The
previous night, at lie Touquet. was a
sleepless one, the transatlantic flier
suffering from ptomaine poisoning.
His three companions, Bert Acosta,
George Neville and Bernt Balchen
spared the ordeal OF speechmaking
which fell to Commander Byrd as
leader of the expedition, showed no
i'll effects from the long series of
banquets.
Yesterday was the lightest day
they had yet, the ceremony OF giving
them the freedom OF the city of lie
Touquet being made as simple as
possible out of considera ion for the
commanders indisposition.
During the day Byrd was received
by the Prince of Wales and they had
a friendly chat. the heir to the Brit
ish throne recalling that he had oc-
casion to offer his congratulations
to the aviator on his North Pole
flight. The prince was much inter-
ested in the projected air expedition
to the South Pole AMI asked a
number of questions concerning the
plans.
In the afternoon the Americas
crew went to the soldiers cemetery
at lie Touquet to place wreaths on
the graves of allied soldiers buried
there.
This program was a simple one,
calling for a visit to Caen, where
they passed their first night on
French soil, and a farewell to the
kindly folk at Yer sur-mer. who
aided them when they dropped from
the fog into the waters Of the chan
mel after their fight across the
