QHUEf tHkA new ptaH tt fA Auitt pOb- sible for the prospective student to de- eide to take a flying course in the morning, interview the school, make out his application, take his physical examination and begin actual flying the same day. This will greatly assist both the school and the student and there will be no further delay for stu dents wishing to take flight instruc- ton. aeronautics experts here believe. According to the new method the student should make out his applica- tion for a students permit in dupli- Ieate, one form being sworn to and at- tached thereto two photographs of himself. He may then take this appli- |cation to the authorized examining physician who win check and accept 1t.
 No longer is it necessary for the student to send his application to Washington. If he successfully passes the medical examination, the physician will issue him letter of authority al- lowing him to operate pending the re- eeipt of the permit from Washington, thus eliminating delays of frequently months duration for the student.
 To cpeah Tn otate
 Voters of Connecticut in all prob ability will be given an opportunity to hear Senator Charles Curtis from the public speaking platform before the close of the coming campaign. Rcpub- lican leaders believe. Senator Curtis, as Republican -vice-presidential nom- inee, will speak in Connecticut at least once and perhaps several times before election next fall, c. o. P. steersmen opine.
 The organization of a campaign 'ian to win the colored voters of the coun- try for the Hoover-Curtis ticket is now under way at the Republican national headquarters here, and Republican steersmen through such campaign ef- forts hope to gain the support of Con- necticut negroes for the Commerce Secretary. thus aiding in the fight to win the Nutmeg state in the election next fall. The National Association Of lColored Voters will work in roopera- tion with the National Re 'bliean committee in the drive to E. ! the support of the negro vote.

District Committee Head
Repeats Stand Against

Senator Capper of Kansas, chairman
of the Senate District committee, who
has been in New York for the past 10
days, returned to the District today for
a short stay for the twofold purpose OF
giving further attention to the street
railway merger study and also to attend
a meeting Of the Republican senatorial
campaign committee.
Chairman Capper indicated that ne
has been following developments In the
street car rate hearing now in progress
before the Public Utilities Commission,
and reiterated his opinion against an
increase in carfare. The Senator SAID
he felt that Peoples Counsel Ralph b.
Fleharty was justified in opposing the
pending application.
Senator Capper will confer on Mon
day or Tuesday with DR.. Milo r. Malt
bic the expert who is inquiring into the
merger proposal of the local companies
for the Senate committee. DR.. Maltble
at that conference will make a preliml-

mittee for their information, while DR..

RULES ON STATUS
OF UTILITIES BODY
McCarI Places 1t, in Part,
Subordinate to D. c.
Commissioners.

The official satus of the Public Utili-
ties Commission as subordinate, in part,
to the District Commissioners was es-
tablished definitely for the first time
yesterday by Controller General j. r.
McCarl, who handed down double
edged opinion denying at the same time
a $500 salary increase to the two ap-
pointed members of the commission
and peoples counsel.
McCarl held that utilities commits
sioners are not in the classified service,
and Furthermore ruled that if they are
now to be classified so as to take adj
vantage of the pay increase under the
WEIGH act, such action must be brought
through the action of the District Com
missioners and the personnel of the
Classification Board.
The salaries in question are $500
and would have been raised to $4,000
had they been considered as falling
within the classification service. Those
affected by it are Chairman John w.
Childress, Col. Harrison Brand, jr., the
two appointed members, and Ralph B.
Fleharty, peoples counsel.
The particular sting in the denial OF
the salary increase may be partly laid
at the door of Brand and Fieharty. AS
attorneys both of them studied the
WEIGH act and determined not to join
with the District Commissioners in be-
ing classified or permit themselves to
be put in the classified list. Had they
agreed upon that course, they would
now, he eniovino the same salary in
crease as the District Commissioners
received.
Col. William B. La Due Engineer
Commissioner, also is a member of the
commission, but his salary is not
affected by the controller generals
opinion. The difference between his
pay and the salary of Commissioner
is paid out of the funds of the District
Government
The controller generals ruling was
handed down in response to a letter
from Chairman Childress inquiring as
to what effect the WEIGH act had Oh
the salaries of the two appointed men,
bers of the commission and peoples
counsel.
Quoting a line of, decisions, the con-
troller general said that they held in
effect that "if positions in the District
of Columbia, the rates of compensation
of which had heretofore been specific
ally fixed by other law, had not been
allocated under the original classical
ton act prior to July /, 1928, the auto
matte provisions of the WEIGH act were
not for application on July /. 1928, for
the obvious reason that there was no
grade determined on which the auto
matte provisions might operate"

Maj. Bowie, who was for Is years

into rough weather without warning
During every minute of the flight he
