A successor TO Maj. John c. Gotwals.
whose term as District Engineer Com
missioner will expire tomorrow, prob
ably will not be appointed until Presi-
dent Roosevelt returns 10 Washington
next month. Meanwhile. Maj. Got
walls will continue to serve on the
board, it was indicated at the White
House today.
No decision has been reached as TO
his successor, and in addition, 1t was
thought best for Maj. Gotwals TO con-
tinue on in his work with the District
government since ne has several i'm
portant matters still to complete.
These include the investigations be-
ing conducted preliminary 70 decid-
ing on gas company valuations, as well
as the telephone rates. and the pre-
liminaries incident to the starting OF
the new sewage disposal project.
Two outstanding Army Engineers
are known TO have been under con-
sideration for Mai Gotwals' District
post. They are Maj. Brehon B. Som
ervell, now attached to the Engineer
Corps headquarters. and Lieut.. Col.
Daniel I. Sultan. who recently vas in
charge OF the engineering survey incl

complaining witness will tell one story
before the opening of trial. In the
meantime, damages will be settled
outside of court and the complaining
witness will then tell very much
modified version of the accident and
degree of drunkenness when he ap-
pears before the jury
Convictions in drunken driving
cases also are difficult because the
witnesses have different versions of
the degree of drunkenness and the
cause of the accident
However, it is the duty of juries to
protect the citizens of the District
from drunken driving. and this new
ruling may help to effect it. Liquor,
of course, is now available to every
one and the natural result is that
there are more people driving after
having drunk some liquid Of alcoholic
content. The result is that there are
more cases of drunken driving than
in the prohibition era"
Assistant Corporation Counsel Ed
ward De Neale said the first cases of
drunken driving on the docket since
Prettymans recent order for man
datory Jail sentences probably would
come up in Police Court Saturday be-
fore Judge John P. Mcmahon, and
that he would recommend jail sem
fences in cases of convictions.

the drunken driver menace IN Wash

today OF the Washington Board of
Trade, which pledged full co-opera-
ton.
The board. which is about to inau-
gurate, in collaboration with police
and traffic officials, a city-wide safe

alton Counsel E. Barrett Prettyman

jectives of his action.
At the same time. the stricter policy

dent of the trade body. the boards

you its fullest cooperation and

appalling death toll due TO tratflc
accidents.
The board. through our TrafflC
Committee, will be pleased TO lend
every aid in your efforts and to CO.
operate to the fullest exent where
ever you feel We can be of assistance.
Assistant Corporation Counsel Ed
ward N. Welliver. assigned TO Police
Court, said every effort would be
made to comply with Prettyman'S
request. but that there were many
aspects of jury trials on charges Of
drunken driving which were not i'm
mediately apparent to the genera
public.
I'VE have noticed change in the
attitude of Juries toward drunken
driving cases since repeal" Wellivei
said, lin that they are more ready
to return convictions than before
repeal.
However, trials on drunken -driv-
ing charges are difficult because o.
the changing attitude of complaining
witnesses. This change is due, II
part. TO the practice of settling dam
ages involved in accidents outside o.

panies, against which the Public
Utilities Commission Of the District
and many State regulatory groups,
including that of Maryland. have pro-
tested, 1t was announced today in a
lengthy memorandum outlining the
issues involved.
The commission did not, however,
enter an order, pointing out this mat
ter is now one that the new Federal
Communications Commission will be
called upon to handle. Its findings,
which include recommendation for
some amendments, are being trans
mitted to the new agency.
The I. C. c. report points out the
position of the Utilities Commission
of the District "is essentially one Of
defense of its own Jurisdiction, rather
than direct attack on ours"
Commissioner Patrick J. Farrell
dissented from the issuance of the re-
port and was joined by Commissioner
Clyde B. Aitchison. Farrell, who
wrote the dissent, declared the ex-
pense connected with publication Of
the report is "unjustifiable because
no order could be issued"
Riley E. Elgen, chairman OF the
Public Utilities Commission. said the
I. G. c. report had not yet reached
that body. He said the Utilities Com
mission will take its case before the
new Communications Commission and
hopes to get sympathetic ear.
He said many points for which the
commission had argued were granted
in the new Federal communications
law. and the commission consequently
feels Its position is much better than
before.

leased a total of s33,5l5.66 to trustees

old bank.
The payments we're made to trustees
in the cases of Edmund D. Rheem,
SwartZell, Rheem a. HenSey Co., and
the Hamilton Hotel Corporation.
The checks were turned over. as a
result of recent court decision

ruptcy we're entitled to all the funds
they had on deposit instead of only
the so per cent dividend which so
far has been paid out to other de-
positors and creditors of the District
National.

D. Rhem case, $26,34205; Swartzell,
Rheem & Hensey Co., $6,969o3, and
Hamilton Hotel Corp, Sl96.58.
George C. Shinn, receiver for Ed
mund d. Rheem. said today's payment
was a substantial step in settling the
estate, and would probably make 1t
possible to close it up, with payment
of dividends to creditors, some time
late next month
There will be between $4,000 and
$50, 900 available, MI Shinn estimat-
ed, to meet claims from about l,400
creditors for around 81 100000.
The deposit in the District Bank
for the Rheem estate had virtually
been secured. Mr. Shinn explained,
and a recent court decision upheld
the right of the estate to 100 per cent.
William z. Richardson. attorney, was
associated with Mr.. Shinn in the case.
