Langley Field Research
Chief Wins Medal for His
Aviation Work.

DR.. George William Lewis, director
of aeronautical research Of the Ma
tional Advisory Committee for Aero
nautics, who supervises important re-
search activities at Langley Field. has
been awarded the Daniel Guggenheim
Medal for 1896.
The medal was awarded for "out-
standing success In the direction Of
aeronautical research and for the de-
velopment of original equipment and
methods" an Associated Press dis
patch from New York said.
He is the eighth to win the award,
established in 1927 by the Guggenheim
Fund. DR.. Lewis, who designed the
first experimental roots-type super
charger for aircraft engines, lives at
65o2 Ridgewood avenue, Chevy Chase,
Md. He became attached to the Ad-
visory Committee in 1918 and has
been director for more than 10 years.
u. S. Leads Field.
The award was not for any one
technical study, but for the long-con
tinued supervision and direction and
conduct of fundamental research at
Langley Field, 1t was explained last
night by John F. Victory, secretary OF
the committee.
Improvement Of research facilities
and methods has pushed American
aviation development methods to the
front and other nations now are copy
ing American methods, he said.
"Other nations until a year or two
ago." Victory explained, were putting
their eggs into one basket-into de-
velopment-seeking the manufacture
of bigger and better aircraft. They
built bigger but not better.
U. S. Winning Markets.
"They found that American man
ufactures were running away with
efficiency, that in many countries
American manufacturers were winning
the markets. During the last year
numerous foreign missions came to
this country to study our methods and
paid visits to the laboratories at Lang
ley Field"
DR.. Lewis is credited with having
played an important part in American
research.
Born at Ithaca, N Y, he obtained a
degree in mechanical engineering at
Cornell University in 1908 and a mas
ter's degree in 1910. He taught en-
gineering at Cornell and then at
Swarthmore College, going to Phila-
delphia sales and research posts after
that.

they are escaping notice only because
those involved do not die outright of
starvation Churches, friends, rela-
tives and a final ounce of human
courage keep them living, but without
hope.
Meanwhile, in the six weeks of cur
tailment, the public assistance division
has closed four branch stations and
cut "a persons off its administrative
personnel. Most of these are serving
out furlough notices with the pessi-
bility they may return to the pay rolls
after July /. Others are scheduled to
leave between now and that date. In
one department of the division, the
employees themselves devised a system
of alternating the work, cutting them
selves to four or five days per week
and thus saving four or five jobs.
Study of possibilities of granting aid
to destitute "employable" persons who
were dropped from the relief rolls April
l, or at least to some of them, was
ordered yesterday by Commissioner
George E. Allen.
Unless considerable additional saw
ings can be effected during the Sum-
mer months, adoption of the sug-
gestion would mean that the 1887
District relief appropriation would be
spent as needed rather than being
apportioned evenly month by month
through the next fiscal year.
Commissioners Melvin c. Hazen and
Dan I. Sultan, it was reported, have
told Allen they will support such a
plan if relief officials find the need
of the abandoned relief clients is
serious enough to warrant the shift
of the relief measures.
Allen directed Welfare Director
Elwood Street and Relief Director
Alice Hill to report on the present
and possible future rate of expendi-
lures for relief.
Street said yesterday the relief ap-
preparation proposed by the Senate
would be more than sufficient for
the cases of 'unemployables."
Allen has asked for reports show
ing what savings will be made this
Summer when relief costs decline be-
cause costs for fuel are eliminated
and because clothing costs are less.
He hopes some means will be found
to extend aid at least to the most
needy cases of families in which there
are persons able to work who have not
found jobs.

To show the effect of relief curtail-

l. Mr.. and Mrs. S. have nine chill
dren. Mr.. S. is employable and has
been making 81 a week since April
l, when he was cut off relief. The
money was barely sufficient for food
so they were unable to pay their

dren, father and brother, invited
Mr.. S. to bring his family into their

are "A persons living. Five of the
children have tuberculosis. Mr.. S, has
just received a w. P. A. Job at S45

be sufficient to enable them to move

medical attention and meet other OBJ
legations.

William, II, was becoming dull and

that his father supports seven chii-

3. Mr.. x. has wife and 8-year old
son. Some time ago he suffered an
injury to his back, which prevents
him from doing heavy work. He was
unable to secure w. P. A. employment
because OF. this handicap, but lost his
$40 per week relief check because of
a border-line employable status. He
now earns $3.50 per week doing jani-
tor work, an amount insufficient for
such obligations as rent and clothing.
4. There are eight children in the
A. family. Mr.. A. makes S45 per
month with the w. P. A., but lost
his supplemental relief on April /.
Since then their gas and electricity
