When the Public Utilities Commits.

this afternoon William NICK Clayton
of the Federation OF Citizens Associa-

any additional one-man cars in Wash

Mr.. Clayton, 1t is understood, takes
the view that the use of one man
cars on certain lines has the effect of
giving that territory a different kind
of service, which he holds is contrary
10 the intent OF the utilities act.
The question arises at this time on
a proposal to substitute a more mod.
ern type Of oneman car for the type
now in use on the Anacostia line.
The commission held hearing some
time ago on this application, but MIR.
Clayton later asked permission to
present his views to the utilities

North Sea. Then motor trouble de-
veloped which the pilots unsuccess-
fully tried to remedy.
Their difficulties increased. when the
Europa ran into dense fogbank. 1t
was then that they decided it would be
hopeless to continue, and reluctantly
turned back toward land. So dense
was the fog, Edzard said, that he could
not see his hand before his eyes. In
his opinion it would have been crimi-
nally foolhardy to continue.
Sees Lights With Difficulty.
The airmen were able to discern the
lights Of the Bremen Airdrome only
with great difficulty, and circled
around a half hour trying to find the
landing place. Eventually they made
bunny landing. The tail Of the ma
