The only sound policy that will meet these oblga-

There is then in the Bell System incentive to earn

requirements goes toward extending the service or

BALLOU ANALYzES
NEEDS OF DISTRICT
School Head Speaks Before

Solution of iong-standing problems
affecting the welfare and development
of Washington in national aspects,
await better public understanding. DR..
Frank W. Ballou. superintendent Of
schools declared last night in an ad-
dress at the annual dinner of the Wom-
ems Guild of American University In
the college dining hall on the campus
Most of our difficulties grow out of
lack OF understanding of the character
of the District of Columbia and how
these problems are to be solved" DIR
Ballou said There are frequently
harsh things said about Congress and
the District in regard to what we want
and what We don't want badly enough
to pay for it fully. I think most Of
these harsh words grow out of lack Of
understanding on the part of the cit
liens of the District on the one hand
and of Congress on the other"
Conflicting Views.
He spoke of the tendency of some to
regard Washington as a municipality
like other cities. and of the conflicting
viewpoint of those who wish to regard
1t as a national city. In due course of
time. he expressed the belief. there
would come a solution based on prin-
ciple of responsibility and counter
| responsibility which would lead to the
development of Washington fully and
completely. so that Ii will represent
something more than mere
municipality"

At the conference, too 1t was de-
cided that the Bremen would not at
tempt to rise from the ice-covered
reservoir into which il fell and thus
shove off at once Rather. because of
the limited length of the run IL was
felt that after the repairs were made
Capt. Koehl would take of the plane
alone. with not more than half a dozen
gallons in the fuel tanks. and hop it
tc the Straits flight of not more than
10 minutes.
Il rather think Capt. Koehl will de-
eide 10 do thus" Mai Fitzmaurice said
1t would be hazardous to try to take
OF the Bremen from the reservoir with
a heavy load of fuel. The St. Lawrence
presents an unlimited runway We
could fuel I'D then and the three OF
us hop in and fly To Murray Bay. Fog
is the only thing that may cause us to
break up the fight into stops. / have
