 School children were fortunate today in not having to go to school. Yesterday they suffered consider ably and the school officials and teachers did everything possible to make them comfortable. Milk men and others out early this morning found the cold severe enough. Due to the fact that factories suspended most of their activities on Saturday, the workers were also fortunate in not having to get out in the cold to- day. Yesterday, in all the factories, many employees had to be sent to the company hospitals suffering from frozen ears and feet.
 At midnight, last night, the mer- cury was two degrees below the zero mark. It climbed to one be- low at o'clock in the morning and then at o'clock jumped to one above. At 10 o'clock this morn- ing the Democrats recording ther- mometer registered above. In various sections of the city exposed thermometers showed tempera- ture a little lower. For instance, at o'clock this morning on Bauby's corner 1t was one below.
 The break in the discharge line of the Tompkins street pumping station occurred at about z o'clock last night. This line goes through the meadows near Brookside and then across Watertown avenue to the Bunker Hill section of the city. The line broke in the meadows. The gate was imm edlately shut off, temporarily stopping water service in the area served. This morning crew of water department men were eXcavating to make repairs. Not long after the line broke a switch in the service was made and water was sent into the district affected from the East Mountain reservoir.

. said. "They have a proud record of achievement. They have rec ord for not getting killed They recognize that dead pilot is of no value to the service"
 The air corps has force of be- tween 1900 and 1900 seasoned flying men who could qualify in pinch to carry the mail. Mac- Arthur said. But the first consid- eration will be to keep in service the regular air mail pilots, Mac Arthur said.
 Most regular air mail pilots hold commissions as reserve officers in the air corps, and any of those who 1oce job because of cancellation of the mail contracts will be called into active service in the air corps to carry the mail.
 Some way also will be found to utilize the services of mail pilots who are not reserve officers, if they lose their present jobs, the chief of staff said.
 Under the law, the companies with which the contracts were can celled were barred for five years from obtaining the government mail contracts.
 Cancellation of the contracts amounted to withdrawing a gov ernment subsidy of approximate ly $20. 100000 annually for the postoffice air service.
 Firms affected by the contract , cancellations were:
 American Airways, National Air Transport. Western Air Express. Boeing Air Transport. Pacific Air Transport, Northwest Airways, Kohler Aviation Corporation, Pennsylvania Airlines, Eastern Air Transport, National Parks Airways, United States Airways and Trans | continental and Western Air Inc. Begin to Fight New York, Feb 1O.-(UP)- Heads of the nations leading mail carrying air lines prepared to-day to fight the governments decision cancelling air-mail contracts. Richards W. Robbins, president of the Transcontinental and Vest ern Air Corporation, telegraphed a protest to President Roosevelt. He demanded a hearing "as a mat ter of fair play"
 Robbins offered to carry the mails for the next 30 days pending an investigation. If, after a hear ing, it were found that the con- tracts had been illegally obtained, Robbins offered to waive payments for the mileage flown.
 Philip G. Johnson, president of the United Aircraft & Transport corporation and of United Air Lines, said that the contracts of his companies and their subsidiar- ies were obtained strictly as a re- suit of competitive bidding. Captain Thomas Doe, president of Eastern Air Transport, which operates along the Atlantic sea board. also insisted his company's contracts came through compet- itiye bidding.
