Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, September 21.-Chauf-
feurs' licenses of five bus drivers who
, v.cra Gan=4cted en- charges OF reckless
dri ring or exceeding the speed limit
were suspended yesterday by e. Austin
Baughman, commissioner of motor We
hicles, following a hearing before
George w. Munford, legal examiner for
the commission.
for 80 days and, the other two for 20.
The differer1 Ain the time of the Sus-
pensions waSA result of the fact that
the latter two drivers had no previous
violation record.
The charges on which the drivers
were convicted were the result of an
investigation made September on the
Washington Boulevard by Paul M. Hart,
investigator for the commission.
Drivers Who Lest Permits.
The two drivers who lose their driv-
ing permits for the 20-day period are
Elwood F. Queen, chauffeur for the
Peoples Rapid Transit Co., and Frank
Elmore, a driver for the Nevin Line.
The other three drivers are Raymond
Romm and Harry Gouff of the Nevin
Line and Otto W. Narer of the Peoples
Rapid Transit Co.
In recommending the suspension of
the licenses, Mr.. Munford told the
drivers that. because OF the size of the
vehicles they operate and because of
the number of lives in their care as
passengers, they should be more careful
than other drivers.
The drivers admitted speeding their
buses, but placed the blame on the
operators Of the two lines for failing to
equip the vehicles with adequate speed
Ometers.
Defects in buses, revealed by Public
Service Commission inspections, either
have been eliminated or are being
changed as rapidly as possible, 1t was
said yesterday by shop foremen and
local officials of companies operating
out of Baltimore.
The problem of adequate inspection
SO that the BUSES are al perfect con-
dition at all times has occupied the
attention of operators for more than
year. and system whereby daily in
Spections Will be made is being con-
sidered.
Hope to Develop System.
The owners hope to have such a
system developed for submission to
the Public Service Commission when
that body meets with representatives
tt.e E::s companies in the near
future.
1t is believed that a single inspection
system for all companies, particularly
for those which share the bus terminal
quarters at Liberty, Park avenue and
Redwood streets. would be the most
satisfactory and most economical.
Officials declined to commit them
selves to approval of this plan until
further study and communication with
home Offices An official of the Peoples
Rapid Transit Co. explained that every
measure to eliminate unsafe operation
will be undertaken Immediately.

A MOVIE COMPROMISE

Recommendation by the ordinance committee of the Common Council that the hour for the opening of Sunday movies be advanced to four o'clock is a compromise which evi- dently is expected not to give the theater managers all they would like 10 have and yet make them more satisfied with what they get; and to clergymen it will not look as bad as having them open earlier in the aft eInoon.
 The Sunday movie question is one of the most controversial ina ginable. Various clergymen, claiming to represent the wishes Of large part of the city, have been adamant against change in the Sunday hours; theater owners. on the other hand, claiming to represent the wishes Of large part Of cinema fans. equally as stalwartly claim earlier opening hours are needed on Sunday to avoid the congestion around the thester doors at six o'clock
 Of this congestion, Of course, there can he little doubt. In the cool months, especially, long lines are formed of those eager to enter the theaters. Parsons no doubt might well envy the pull of the screer drama on a day in the week origin. 1 ally reserved for religious duties.
 Just how many people desire i o'clock Sunday movies on Sunday however, will not be discovered m, | der the present system. The con 1 tending sides may represent the pro, | and cons of the citizenship. but the l actual total on each side can onll
 be estimated.
 One guess is that the innocent by sanders who don't care one way O the other are in the majority.

Executive Sessions Produce Fireworks

It is said that the state Of Con- necticut has no star chamber ses- sions during the duration Of the meetings of the legislature. That's true, but it has dignfied the naughty Gppellation by calling such closed door meetings executive sessions. The violation of the affairs of ar executive session is enough 10 get the legislatore very indignant, and, if the goings on appear in print, why the writer will be excused from fur l ther confidence at Capitol hill.

due to an almost universal drought rather than to the beneficent admin istration of the new farm board.
 The farmer is expected to under stand perfectly that the administra- ton is entirely to have the credit for the price increases. President Hoover and Republican Congress are all but openly credited with be- ing drought makers.
 Perhaps some farmers will be in- telligent enough to understand the situation. But ask any Republican leader and he will tell you that an intelligent farmer will vote the Re publican ticket anyhow.
 Congressional elections are due next year. It looks as if the Repub- licans simply get another lucky break, as current jargon has it.

AIR MAIL FROM HOLLYWOOD

Air mail boosters are telling busi- ness firms that a letter which arrives embellished in the red. white and blue uniform Of air mail transporta- ton is likely 10 receive preferred at tention by the recipient. regardless of the fact that the letter in reality may be no more than a circular.
 How that works was brought 10 our personal attention the other day.
 Mail from the Hollywood moving picture industry usually receives only a cursory examination in this office. It is heavy in volume, the industry evidently thinking that newspapers exist for the prime purpose of pub fishing columns of moving picture propaganda.
 The other day an air mail letter arrived. It had nothing but the ad- dress on the envelope, and it looked important.
 Yes, the editor did grab the let ter ahead of the others. this action being due entirely to the fact it was drssed in the red, white and blue of the air mail service. But the contents also went into the waste basket ahead of the others | When the hard boiled editor dis 1 covered the contents consisted Of an account of how some movie star was doing the greatest acting of her career in the latest sex and crook drama he fired the propaganda where it belonged quicker than usual.
 Air mail is speedy. It even reaches the waste basket terminus faster than regular Hollywood mail.

SOIND ADVICE NEEDED

Governor Trumbull, it is said, is hopeful that one validating act may return all the nullified laws to their proper standing.
 Others believe every act must be passed separately and signed by the governor.
 It is essential that only the most thorough going legal advice be se- cured before it is decided upon a legislative course of action.

Inspector's Determination OycrcOmeS Many Obstacles.

Talk about seeing a thing through, If some of the taXpay- CTS of New Britain who let loose every little while with criticisms or city officials who are pictured as holding down soft snap jobs at good salaries attempted to follow Plumbing Inspector Clay A. Peter son on the trail he pursued 10 bring about the adoption Of an or dinance requiring the connection or eas water heaters with hue pipes, they would think they were dong a marathon, and they might be con- vinced that there is something 10 one of those city positions besides the title and the salary.
 The ordinance has not been adopted yet. but if is expected that it will become a law next month because the common council ap- parently has exhausted every req sonable objection to it, If, however i some member finds another obstacle to throw in the way, Inspector Peterson. in all probability, will be found following it right along untlI all the hurdles are cleared whether it takes another month or another year
 The ordinance, which is in the form of an amendment to the plumbing code, is in effect in a great many cities, and is one form oi safeguard against asphyXiation fol it requires that the heaters be con- nected. Bit by bit, the counci picked it to pieces after the ordi- nance committee had done somc picking in advance. First, there was a dispute about the retroactive feature, and then about the matter Of enforcement. The size and kinc of the pipe were converted into sub. iccts for argument and every time there was an argument there was 2 months delay.
 Still, Inspector Peterson never was dismayed. Disappointed bu determined, he accepted the ineVi la ble and kept right on, agreeing 10 changes when he realized it wa! the only course to take IT ne WOult get the ordinance on the books, anc now it looks as though it will b. put there. He has been from th' corporation counsel 10 the chair man of the ordinance committee back from the latter to the forme and in and out Of ordinance com mittee meetings until he began t
 feel al home only when someon was talking about flues and heaters
 It meant nothing to the inspecto personally whether the ordnanc
 was adopted or not More work a a matter of fact. but he looked a the other side of the proposition always stressing the advantaseou
 features. He is deserving of credi
 for his determination and the com mon council should adopt the ordi
 nance in the same spirit in whic 5 it was recommended-to protect th
 householders from vital danger.
