and highway safety, held yester-
day In the 1900 block H st. N. w.
The committee held that de.
structive power Of the automo-
bile has increased 100 per cent in
the past few years, due to In
crease in power and speed. Sys,
tematic inspection Of lights,
brakes and steering apparatus and
regular checking of tires to mini
mize the blowout hazard were
recommended.

YOUTHFUL REDS
MAY BALK At
FLAG SALUTE

A court battle may enSue should
the youthful Communists attend
ing the high schools Of the Dis
trict Of Columbia refuse to comply
with the order, issued yesterday
by DIR. Frank W. Ballou, super
intendent of schools, requiring
that students salute and pledge
allegiance to the flag In at least
so per cent Of the assemblies held.
School officials pointed out that
the order was not the direct re-
suit Of revelations that Commun-
ism is spreading in the schools,
but that patriotic organizations
are responsible for the order.
Some time ago the request was
made Of the Board Of Education
to have the students salute the
flag and the matter was referred
to the superintendent.
Youthful Communists gathered
at Communist Hall last night to
observe the third anniversary Of
the death Of Charles E. Ruthen-
berg, founder Of the Communist
party in the United States. Cues
toned about DR.. Ballou's order
they declared that they had not
made up their minds but that
they did not think they would
obey 1t.
Should the high school Com

it was pointed out, discipline will
be corrective rather than punitive
in cases where the action is of
the students own volition. II,
however, it is found that the
disobedience of the pupil is caused
by his parents, the case will
probably be turned over to the
Federal authorities to be settled
in court.

UTILITIES GROUP SEEKS NEW TAXICAB CHECK
RIGHT To LIMIT
NUMBERS IS
SOUGHT

The Public Utilities Commission
today made another move in its
efforts to obtain rigid control
over the hectic taxicab situation
which is rapidly developing.
The commission asked Congress
to enact legislation which would
provide that no vehicle shall act
as taxicab without the owner or
operator first having obtained
from the commission certificate
that public convenience and neces-
sity require such operation.
The Senate District Committee
was asked to make this proposal
q part of the pending bill which
would give the commission power
to require proof of financial re
sponsibility of taxi owners and
operators and which would also
give the commission power to
regulate all rates and fares.
Under the amendment Sug-
gested by the commissionl certifi-
Gates of convenience and necessity
would be automatically granted to
those operating taxicabs in good
faith on May ! of this year.
provided they had complied with
orders and regulations Of the
commission standing as Of tnat
date.
Members of the Senate District
Committee see in the proposed
amendment to the public utilities
law an effort by the commission
to meet the complicated taxicab
situation growing up through the
competition being afforded the
old line taxicabS by the new flat
rate operators.
Control Divided
It is pointed out that taxicab
regulation in this city has "just
growed" and that there has been
no orderly and concentrated
authority over this form Of pub
lie utilities. Authority over the
cabs has been divided, some Of
1t resting with the Police Depart
ment, some with the Public Utili-
ties Commission, and some with
the licensing authorities.
With the Public Utilities Com
mission authorized to issue GER
tificates of convenience and
necessity before a cab could
operate, it is pointed out, the
commission would be in a posi-
ton to control the number Of
cabs to be operated in the city
and the conditions under which
they are to run.
The Washington times., 1930-03-14

cal general contractors, subcon-
tractors and supply houses.
The letter also stated that these
out-of-town concerns employ out
side labor in so far as possible, not
only working hardship on Wash
ington construction workmen, but
taking large sums Of money out
Of the District.
The Board Of Trade was asked
to take some decisive action des-
ignated to prevent further en-
croachments by outside builders
on the local building trades. The
letter has been referred to the IN
dustrial interests committee of
the board, Of which C. Phillips
Hill is chairman, but no action has
been taken.

HEART BEAT" TEST
OF NETWORK FLOPS.
Publicity Promoters Loath to
Announce Details of
Results.
BY MARTIN CODEI

Some news and gossip from the radio
realm
Having scored brilliant successes in
rebroadcasting programs from England.
Germany and Holland, one of the ma
tional networks is quietly making plans
for an exchange of programs with italy
and Russia. Diplomatic delicacy will
probably dictate combining the program
from the land of the SOviets entirely to
music.
Giving prohibition the air. with all
the diverse views on the subject repre-
sented, has furnished a real dilemma
for broadcasting. If one partisan uses
the radio, all the others demand equal
opportunities Accordingly. the chains
at least are trying to pursue a policy of
avoidance, although one of them let
down the bars in recent weeks to carry
the speeches of two Representatives, one
a bone-dry and the other wringing-
wet.
The heart beat" test, conducted on
one of the networks to determine how
listeners react to different types of radio
programs, turned out something of a
flop. The so-called ''supersensitive
electrical stethoScope" was applied to
the hearts of group of prominent New
Workers. picked as typical of all classes
OF listeners, but the publicity promoters
of the experiment are loath to divulgc
details of the results, beyond saying
that the martial strains of march
create the greatest emotional response
Devotional music ranked second, but
nothing is said about how jazz music
works to quicken the heart beats.
The fight in the Senate over confirm
ing the appointment of Radio Commits
sioner w. D. L. Starbuck, the only one
of the five whose nomination was not
ratified last week. may be bitter and
long drawn out. Since the tariff bill is
the business before the Upper House of
Congress, one Senator's objection can
keep the nomination from coming up
for consideration, though 1t takes only
