PILOTS BLAMED
IN AIR DEATHS

The greatest cause Of aircraft
accidents, according to Clarence
M. Young, Assistant Secretary
Of Commerce for aeronautics, is
the human element.
In his report yesterday on civil
aviation for the first six months
Of 1929, he said 500 per cent
Of accidents were laid to person
mel. His analysis Of accidents in
the civil field bore out the find
ings Of the Army Air Corps and
the Navy bureau Of aeronauticS
in military activities.
Army pilots in 1928 were held
responsible for 63 per cent Of
fatal accidents, while Navy filters
for the 1929 fiscal year were
termed the. cause Of TAG per cent
Of fatal crashes.
There was one fatal accident
for each 1894 miles flown.
Accidents decreased in percent
age in face of the fact that q
total Of 56,2O1.338 miles were
flown by aircraft, more than
three times as much as during
the first six months Of 1928.

High pressure" solicitation for

must be avoided when the CO.
operative drive to take care Of
the Capitals charities and other
worthy enterprises with one com.
bined rush is begun, John Poole,
president Of the Federal Ameri.
can National Bank and general
chairman Of the chest, warned
workers who met at the willard
Hotel last night.
can workers should avoid the
appearance Of coercion in at
tempting to obtain contributions
for the chest" Chairman Poole
said. Every man knows the
state Of his own purse better
than anyone else. We do not
want people to deprive themselves
or their families In order to
make contributions.
THE Chest idea must be good
enough to sell itself, and there
must be no appearance Of dis
pleasure no the part Of solicitor
If q prospect fails to give, or else
the whole purpose of the Chest,
which Is to bind Washington into
one great civic community with
one great civic interest In its I'M
fortunates, will be lost"
Linn C. Brooke, scout executive
for the District Of Columbia, told
what the Chest had done for the
city's Boy Scouts.
I'VE have been able to do more
efficient work than ever before"
he declared, land that success Of
last year, which is the best year
the Scouts have ever known, Is
due, I feel. entirely to the aid
given us by the Community
Chest. Our relations have been
most happy and satisfactory"

We Want Firewoman,
Murch School
Mothers Cry

A woman is O better fireman
for District schools than a man,
in the eyes Of the mothers Of
small children attending the
portables at the B. w. Murch
School.
Fires in the portable school
stoves have been tended by q
colored woman for three years
and no complaint has been
raised. But yesterday q man
substituted for the 'firewoman,"
and two classes, the second and
the sixth, reported that they
were so cold that they went
outdoors to get warm, declares
Mrs. Leslie B. Wright, leader
of the fight to have q woman
fireman at the Murch School
when it opens February I.
A plea Of the mothers for q
woman fireman at the Murch
School was refused by the
Board Of Education last WedneS-
day on the grounds that the
work is too heavy for q woman.

CONCENTRATE
ON MEASURE

Efforts Of Federal employees
are now being concentrated on
obtaining support for the Brook
hart bill( designed to correct
Inequalities in the WEIGH act,
which Is likely to be the next
measure bearing on the Govern
ment personnel to come before
the Senate for consideration and
action.
The Brookhart bill is now on
the Senate calendar, being the
tenth measure on that listing.
AS soon Is the Senate adjourns
overnight, instead Of taking It's
daily recesSeS, the calendar will
be called.
Several Of the bills which pre-
cede the Brookhart bill on the
calendar are non-controverSial,
and others win be allowed to 60
over for further consideration by
their sponsors. This makes it
most likely that the Brookhart
bill will be reached on the first
call Of the calendar.
The bill, which has been favor
ably reported by the Senate Com
mittee on Civil Service, Is especi-
ally designed to iron out the in
equalities which arose over ad-
miniStration Of the WEIGH act.
Under its provisions all en-
ployeS who were advanced only
one step within their grades as a
result Of the ruling Of the comp
troller general interpreting the
WEIGH act, will be moved forward
another step. Those who OBJ
tanned the two full Step-ups
which Congress intended they
should have under. the WEIGH
act, win obtain no benefit under
the Brookhart bill.

JONES WOULD LET DOWN BARS ON .. c. HEADS
| ONGRESIDENCE
REQUIREMENT
ISMOD|F|ED

with the appointment Of two
District Commissioners imminent,
Senator Wesley Jones Of Wash
ington today moved to hberalize
the law governing residential
qualifications Of appointees to the
office.
Senator Jones introduced q bin
which would make maintenance
Of office or place Of business
within the District for three
years, without actual residence
within the city. sufficient quail
fication.
The bin also provides that
maintenance Of a voting residence
elsewhere shall not offset the
qualification.
Many Disqualified
The present law requires that
the appointee shall have been an
actual resident for three years.
In several instances In the past
registration Of voting in outside
States has been held to disqualify
Presidential nominees for the
Colmmissionership.
The purpose Of the measure"
according to Senator Jones, sis
to give the President a wider field
from which to select candidates"
He refused to say whether or
not the bill had been introduced
ct the request Of the White
House
Indications at the White House
today are to the effect that o
number Of nominations will be
made next week by President
Hoover for local offices, the terms
Of which have either expired or
whose incumbents have resigned.
It is confidently expected that
the President on Monday win re-
appoint for another term Gus A.
Schuldt, presiding Judge Of the
Police Court whose term expires
on that day. Judge Schuldt has
no opposition, and has the In
dorSement Of the legal fraternity
as well as the political powers
that interest themselves In local
appointments.
Another appointment which
may be expected next Monday
is that Of successor to Ralph
=. Fleharty, who recently placed
his resignation as Peoples Coun.
sci into the Presidents hands.
It does not seem improbable
that Judge James A. Cobb, Of the
municipal court, whose term ex-
pires in February, viii also be
named to succeed himself next
week.
The question Of making a selec-
ton for successor to Chief Jus.
tlce Mccoy, who resigned his posi-
ton on the District Supreme
Court bench, seems to be more
complicated than for the other
places. It is q position Of great
importance and is regarded as
such by the President, who is
taking the greatest care and
making every effort to find "the
right man for the right place"
Justice Wendell n. Stafford.

Of whom, 1t IS generally believed,

There are more than 80 an
plicants for the two jobs, among
them being q number Of retired
Army officers, rather q new

District Of Columbia. It is not
likely. as things look now, that
the President will be ready for
another week or two to announce
his selections.
