Sub Drive Lag in Pittsburgh
Calls for Quick Correction

PITTSBURGH, Pa.-Lack of rev.
dictionary action in the Daily
Worker circulation drive is still no.
ticeable among numerous units and
mass organizations in the Pitts
burgh District.
So far this important concentra-
ton district has obtained only about
225 new subs on a quota Of 900
daily and Saturday subscriptions.
Is this poor showing due to lack
Of interest amonc workers in the
Daily Worker? Experience proves
this is not SO.
Get Subs
Activity by comparatively few
comrades in the New Kensington
section, fer example, resulted in 10
new subs for the Daily" The
Brownsville section obtained nine
new subs; NIcKeesport gained eight
new subs; the Monessen Unit alone
secured six new subs. Within few
days comrades in the Turtle Greek
Section secured 81 new subscrip-
tions. In all these territories the
workers are poverty stricken, but
they gladly subscribe to the paper
that fights for their interests.
These results prove decisively that
if workers are approached and the
role of the Daily Worker explained
to them, they subscribe. The trouble
is that only few comrades arc
active getting subs. If every work
ing class organization would mobi-
lie its membership, if every class
conscious worker would go out for
new subs, we could easily double our
circulation

The results of the local elections
in South Wales this year bring out
more clearly than ever the big pros
poets for building strong Com
munist Party in the area.
While South Wales shared in the

feature about the election results
where there we're Communist con-
tests is that the swing to Commu-
nism was much greater.
This is proved conclusively by
taking twelve places where Labor
and Communist candidates con-
tested both in 1888 and 1884:

ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE, Va,
September 15.-The County Board of
Arlington County last night unani-
mously voted to employ former State
Senator Frank L. Ball to defend the
county against efforts of the Federal
Government to obtain title to a por-
ton of the river front through the
Virginia District of Columbia Boun-
dairy Line Commission.
Among other matters taken up at
an earlier meeting yesterday was the
question of salary to be paid the Com

State law, final adoption of the street.

Salary Set at $4,000.
The board was in receipt OF a let
ter from the new State Compensation
Board setting the salary of the Com
monwealth's attorney for Arlington
County at $4,000 annually, but with
out any allowance for clerical or other
expenses of the office.
Neither the County Board nor Com
monwealth's Attorney Lawrence w.
Douglas was in favor of what appears
to be a partial return to the fee sys-
tenn, SO it was agreed to defer definite
action and attempt formulation OF
better plan. Since the county now
receives half the fees paid for services
rendered by his Office, the State get
ting the other half, Douglas said that
he would be willing to accept the sal
ary set by the State if the board
would agree to continue the payment
of SI0o a month toward the salary of
his secretary and $3.50 a month for his
assistant. Either the county board or
the Commemorative attorney may ap-
peal the decision of the Compensation
Board.
Before adopting the street-naming
lication, the board attempted to meet
objections OF citizens to the general
name of place" for the shorter streets
by substituting road" The ordinance
will become effective after publica-
ton for two weeks.

FLYING TIME CUT
BYDRAST|C ORDER
Airline Pilots Limited to
1000 Hours a Year, After
Bitter Fight.

One Of the most bitterly argued
questions in the history Of air trans
portation development in this coun-
try has been settled by the Bureau Of
Air Commerce, Commerce Depart
ment, with a ruling that 1000 hours a
year shall constitute the maximum
allowable flying time for pilots Of
scheduled airliners.
The question of maximum flying
time deadlocked the recent national
conference between air transport op-
orators and the Bureau of Air Com
merce and was in dispute for two
days. The conference adjourned after
appointment of special commission
to finally settle the matter.
On the basis Of this commissions
work. Eugene L. Vidal, director Of air
commerce, late yesterday fixed the
new 1,000-hour maximum, which av-
erages about 80 hours per month. It
was stipulated, however, that airline
first pilots may fly maximum of 100
hours per month during busy seasons,
but for not more than four consecu-
tive months.
A new regulation was promulgated
requiring airline first pilots to undergo
special examination every three
months by physician designated as
an airline pilot medical examiner by
the Commerce Department to deter
mine fitness, with special attention to
fatigue or flying staleness. In the
past pilots have been examined only
each six months by a Commerce De-
partment medical examiner.
At the recent conference, the air.
line operators demanded q greater
maximum than / 900 hours and the
pilots less. The question previously
had played a vital part in the labor
disputes between pilots and airline
operators, which several times
reached the point of pilots walk
cut, averted only by the National
Labor Board.
In discussing the new 1,ooo-hour
limitation, Vidal said: I'VE are con-
fident that any question of overwork
is satisfactorily regulated"
The medical examiners to be desig-
mated by the department to conduct
the new special examinations of all
first pilots on the Nations airlineS
will be selected at airline terminals,
including Washington, by DR.. r. z.
Whitehead, chief of the medical sec
ton of the Bureau of Air Commerce.
DR.. Whitehead is flight surgeon Of
many years medical experience and
holds a transport pilots license.
"Our connection with the matter
of maximum flying hours" Vidal ex-
planned, "is concerned solely with
public safety and has nothing what
ever to do with labor and personnel
problems. Congress at the last ses-
sion authorized the Department of
Commerce to regulate the airlines
from the standpoint of safety and
this regulation comes under that au-
thority."

lard E. Tydings, who will make the
recommendation for the appointment

but it was learned he feels that since

Federal patronage. Mr., Ray was
resident of Chillum district, Prince
Georges County.
