District Appeals Court JUS
tiCe Reverses order
for Receiver.
EQUITY MAY NOT ORDER
. WHAT LAW PROHIBITS
First Wife of John L. McGrew Is
Forbidden Federal Receiver
to Collect Alimony.

The action of Justice William Hitz of
the District Supreme Court in appoint
ing receiver to receive the pay of a
Government employee, to be applied to
the payment of judgment for ar
rears of alimony, was reversed today by
the District Court of Appeals in an
opinion by Chief Justice Martin. The
appellate tribunal held that this would
nave the effect of permitting a judg-
ment creditor to do in equity what he
Is directly denied at law and would tend
TO embarraSS the Government in the
public service.
Brought Suit In EQUITY.
Mrs. Olive McGrew recovered a judg-
ment against her former husband. John
L: McGrew or $7,629.75 March 30,
1921, whtc' s-.Ie has not been able to
collect. November 3, 1926, she brought
suit in equity against the husband and
nj; present wife, Catherine McGrew,
charging fraudulent concealing of as
sets and colluSive holding of real estate.
she asked that the property, 3168
eighteenth street, in the name of the
new wife be declared in trust for the
husband, that he be held to own an au-
tomobile purchased in November. 1922.
that a probe be made of the Contents
OF a safe deposit box and that a receiver
be appointed to collect the husbands
salary of $4,000 annually from the Gov
eminent. With the exception of the
real estate petition the lower court
found on all the questions in favor of
the former wife and named a receiver
to take over all but 500 per month of
the husbands salary.
1t Is conceded" says Chief Justice
Martin, that the defendants salary as
Government employee cannot be
reached by attachment or other process
issued in an action of law. To permit this
at all times would be found embarrass-
Ing, and under some circumstances it
might be fatal to the public service,
The funds of the Government are spe-
clfically appropriated to certain ma
tlonal objects, and if such appropria-
tons may be diverted and defeated bv
State process or otherwise the func-
tons of the Government may be sus-
pended. The reason for this rule ap-
plies with equal force to a court order
compelling a public officer or emplove
under the penalties of the law to nav
over his salary, or part thereof, as and
when received by him, to be credited
upon a Judgment Heretofore recovered
at law against him."
Former Wife to Pay Costs.
The appellate court found that the
new wife owns the automobile, and the
husband may not be required to dis
close the contents of the safe deposit
box. The costs of the appeal are as
sessed against the former wife and the
case is remanded to the lower court

BRIDGE OVER
FORESEEN
House Leaders Confident
Construction Near Great
Falls viii Be Authorized.

House leaders who are particularly
active in supporting the Capital devel-
opment program said today that they
feel sure that legislation will soon be
passed authorizing a specific appropria-
ton for erection of free bridge across
the Potomac River near Great Falls.
In the Cramton bill authorizing the
parkway development along both banks
of the Potomac River from Fort WASH
lngton and Mount Vernon to Great
Falls an amendment was passed in the
House prohibiting the erection of a toll
bridge at Great Falls, for which a per-
NIT had previously been given to a pri-
vate construction company known as
the Great Falls Bridge Co. The same
legislation which is now pending in the
Senate includes provision for a free
bridge at Great Falls. A separate bill,
however, will soon be introduced author
izing an appropriation to carry out the
provision for free bridge.
The House late yesterday passed the
Swanson and Moore bill authorizing the
Great Falls Bridge Co to erect a toll
bridge between Maryland and Virginia
at Dahlgren. This bridge would run
between the districts represented by
Representative Moore of Virginia and
Representative Gambrill of Maryland
The latter made the principal speech
in the House yesterday in favor of this
project. The House passed the bill
which now goes to the Senate.

PLANE RAD|OPHONE
TESTS SUCCESSFUL
New Invention Employs An
tenna That Eliminates In
reference From Motor.

Employing portable, self-contained
radio telephone outfit, with new type
interference-free antenna, DR.. G. Fran
els jenkins, local radio inventor and
aviation enthusiast, has just concluded
successful tests of the apparatus by
holding plane-to-home communication
with his wife.
In a final test fight in his private
cabin plane, DR.. Jenkins maintained
uninterrupted telephone communication
with his laboratory here throughout a
trip to New York City, and on his re-
turn, while flying over Pennsylvania,
called his wife at home and told her
what he would like for supper.
Mrs. Jenkins, knowing that her hus-
band was supposed to be in flight be-
tween New York and Washington. was
taken wholly by surprise and scarcely
could believe her ears. She managed to
prepare the requested supper, however
The new antenna, DR.. Jenkins states,
is revolutionary in character and wholly
eliminates interference from the igni-
ton system of the planes motor, with
out necessity OF shielding the engine as
at present. Instead of the hanging,
lead-weighted wire now IL common use
requiring elaborate shielding for eff
Gent operation, the new antenna flies
horizontally from the tail of the ship,
held taut by a undressing sock"
The wire may be flown at any length,
its release from reel and its drawing
in being controlled by the press of a
lever.
The horizontal position of the an
tenna, DR.. Jenkins asserts, places the
wire automatically in an electric
shadow" or "blind-spot" created behind
the motor by the metal fire partition
between the pilot and the motor COM
partment. Static of the motors is
thereby avoided, he says.
BY thus increasing the operating eff
hc1ency of the radio set, the inventor
points out, much simpler sets, using only
portable batteries, may be employed
successfully. In his recent experiments
DR.. Jenkins used small sending and
receiving apparatus contained complete
~ IN metal suitcase" no larger than
a large briefcaSe. Since no generator
was required, it was possible to COM
mun1cate with the home station after
the plane had landed and the motors
nad been cut OF, an asset of great value
IN time Of forced landings, it was ex-
planned.
The time is near when every passen-
ger transport plane will be flown under
the direction and responsibility of
general traffic dispatcher, who will be
IN radio communication with the pilot
at all times" DR.. Jenkins said today.
The dispatcher, constantly informed
OF general and field weather. can
ground threatened ship and release
her again when safe flight can be re-
stunned. Or he may change the ships
hight course to avoid a storm or to
go around fog area"
DR.. Jenkins device has been inspect
ed by Government and private aviation
interests, and negotiations for its use
on commercial ships now are being
made, it is understood.

11;25 o'clock I climbed down the stiff
metal ladder they let down from the
Los Angeles. It did not quite reach the
glider. so had to jump about 2 feet,
landing on top of the glider. let
myself down into the seat, gave signal,
and the glider, which was connected
by single ring and link arrangement
to the mother ship, was released in an
instant.
IT do not mean that it was suspended
entirely by that one ring. 1t was sup
ported by framework, built at Lake
hurst, which held it firmly in place,
but which did not check its fall once the
ring was released. I began to descend
at the rate of 35 miles an hour-faSt
time for glider. 1t took me exactly
Is minutes to reach the ground"
Took Early Interest.
Lieut.. Barnabys interest in gliders
dates back to 1909, when as a boy,
fired by the experiments of the Wright
brothers, he had built his own glider in
the back yard of his Summer home, at
RoXbury. Conn.,, and had flown until
he smashed up and injured an ankle.
He had to wait then until another vaca-
ton time came around and he could
build another ship" But he was not
daunted by that tumble or any of the
ones that followed, which were plentiful
during the course of his experimental
tions.
Just 20 years and / day after I had
taken my first glider flight I received
my pilots license" smiled the air adj
venturer, who holds the first glider
pilots license issued in the United
States.
"Gliders have somewhat the same
appeal that a sailboat has" he con-
cluded. They are sporting crafts, and
it's sporting game to make them bend
to your will. One must outgueSs Old
Man Weather, with a minimum of
equipment used to the nth degree"
