Testimony that the Department of
Commerce aviation facilities are in
sufficient as to equipment and per-
Sonnel was given the Senate Com
merce Committee today by Thomas S.
Tomlinson, former Navy flyer.
He said there should be more radio
ranges near the major terminals
identified as those at Newark, Kansas
City, Chicago and Los Angeles.

went out of commission for as long
as DAY at time. He said further
that weather reports, in outlying
areas. were made by some farmer OF
a youngster."

be taken only by skilled meteor
ologists.
A greater coordination of Govern

BILL
STAND OPPOSED
Union Labor Committee Asks
District Heads to Dis
CuSS Rent Woes.

Protesting "vehemently" against the
Commissioners recent adverse report
to Congress on the Ellenbogen bill,
which would establish a rent COM
mission here the Central Labor Union
Committee on Rents and Low-Cost
Housing today asked the District heads
for an appointment to discuss the
matter.
"All the objections which you have
raised to the establishment of rent
commission" Henry Rhine wrote the
Commissioners, were raised by real
estate operators during the hearings
on the E1lenbogen bill held by the
House District Committee last year.
Those statements are contrary to all
the evidence cited by the Committee
on Rents and Low-Cost Housing and
other groups interested in lowering
rents.
"The wartime rent commission did
provide an appeals procedure for vic
Tins of rent proflteers and in many
cases ordered substantial reductions
in rents. In order to guarantee re-
duction of rent to Washington tenants,
the Central Labor Union Rent Com
mittee suggested that the bill be
amended to provide that in no case
shall rentals exceed those paid as of
January /, 1884"
Rhine charged the high death rate
in the District could be partly charged
to poor housing, to which people Of
moderate means were driven by high
rentals.
Even the printed publications of
the real estate operators themselves, "
said Rhine, &c .clusively prove that
an acute housing shortage exists"
The adverse report Of the Commsi-
sioners on the Ellenbogen bill. Rhine
charged, lacks any basis in fact
I'VE therefore request that you set a
date on which you can meet with rep
resentatives of our committee, that
we may discuss with you the facts sur
rounding rents and housing in Wash
ington."

The wife of Albert McDermott. alias
John slim" Dunn. now on his way to
Washington from AlcatraZ Prison, will
be called as State witness when the
former Tri-State gangster goes on trial
here for the mistaken identity" mur-
der of Allen B. Wilson, newspaper
route carrier.
1t was learned today that Dunn's
wife appeared last month before the
special Montgomery County grand jury
that returned indictments against
Dunn, Edward Sutton, Ernest Myers
and William Cleary for the Staying of
Wilson, and that she will be called
as a witness when the case goes on
trial.
Dunn, manacled and under constant
guard, is being brought back to the
Capital by Detective Lieut.. Floyd A.
Truscott and Detective Sergt. Earl
Hartman. members of the so-called
Wilson squad of the Washington Po-
lice Department that broke" the
murder mystery.
The two detectives left last week
for the Federal prison off the Califor-
mia coast, where Dunn has been serv-
ing time for participation in hold-up
at the Heurich Brewery in Wash
ington They are expected to reach
the Capital within a few days.
Safeguarding against any attempt
by gangsters to free their prisoner,
Truscott and Hartman are planning
to take Dunn off the train at some
point near Washington, surround him
with heavy police guard. and pro-
ceed the rest of the way to the Dis
trict Jail by automobile.
Wilson was shot down early on the
morning of october %, 1884. by gang
sters lying in wait for Mickey" Nc
Donald, Washington gambler, outside
the Mcdonald residence near Takoma,
Park, Md A rain of bullets snuffed
out his life as he drove up to the
gate to leave newspaper.
Instituting what appeared to be
a futile search for the murderers,
special squad of Washington detectives
we're assigned to assist Montgomery
County authorities with the case and
finally announced its solution month
ago. The four men were indicted on
January 81.
With the exception of Dunn, all
of the men under indictment are being
held in Washington. Extradition pro-
ceedings against the quartet will be
started by States Attorney James H.
Pugh when Dunn arrives in the

Bill in House Would Boost
Punishment for First
0ffenSe.
$500 AND SIX MONTHS
MAXIMUM is PROPOSED
City Heads, Approving Measure,
Cite Traffic Directors View Law
Now Too Lenient.
BY JAMES E. CHINN.

A bill to increase the penalty for
f1rst-offense reckless driving-the first
direct result of the congressional in
vestigation of Washingtons trafic
situation-was introduced today by
Chairman Norton of the House Dis
trict Committee.
The proposed legislation, recon-
mended by the Commissioners, would
provide fine of not more than $500
or imprisonment of not more than six
months, or both, for conviction for
the first offense of reckless driving.
The present penalty is a fine of not
more than sl00 or 80 days in Jail.
Budget Bureau Not Opposed.
The Commissioners advised Chair
man Norton the Budget Bureau has no
objection to the proposed legislation
and added:
"The District of Columbia should be
equipped with adequate traffic laws
carrying such penalties as will prove
to be a deterrent to the breach of such
laws.
AT the present time, the penalty for
the first offense of reckless driving is
fine of not more than S100 or i'm
priSonment for not more than 80 days.
At the time this provision was enacted
it was understood that the penalty be-
ing fixed at not more than s10O or 80
days. the defendant could not demand
jury trial. Subsequently, the case
of the District of Columbia versus
Colts, held that under the Constitu-
ton a defendant charged with first of
fense of reckless driving was entitled
to jury trial.
"The director of vehicles and traffic
has recommended this legislation for
the reason that it is his opinion that
the existing penalty for the first Of
fense of reckless driving is much too
lenient and that the increased penalty
as provided in the proposed bill is
more commensurate with the serious
ness of the offense."
Study to Resume Tomorrow,
The study of traffic conditions will
be resumed tomorrow at 10 am. by
a special subcommittee of the District
Committee headed by Representative
Carpenter, Democrat, of Kansas. Capt.
Herbert c. Whitehurst, director of
highways, and Walter Kern. electrical
engineer of the District, will be the
principal witnesses.
Capt. Whitehurst will outline plans
proposed for widening streets to re-
duce congestion and Kern will ex-
plain the effect of automobile acci-
dents resulting from the curtailment
of street illumination.
