east-west direction when winds are
across the main 4,200-foot runway, to
which operation of DC-2 and DEB
airplanes now is restricted.
Compares Landing Danger.
There is far more danger con-
nected with landing on the long run
way with 10-mile-an-hour cross
wind with any type Of Douglas plane
than there Is in landing the DC-2
planes on the east-west runway with
out any wind or with 10-mile head
wind" Rickenbacker said.
The new Federal regulation permits
use Of the long runway by both types
of Douglas airliners unless the cross
wind component exceeds 10 miles per
hour. This means that these air.
craft may land and take of legally
from the long runway in a right
angle or 90-degree cross-wind of up
to 10 miles per hour.
The hazards involved in operating
at Boiling Field in bad weather are
much greater than in operating at
Washington Airport at any time, in
Rickenbacker's opinion, because of
the risk of interference by itinerant
military pilots from all parts of the
country who come here and who, in
many cases, are unfamiliar with the
airline operation or with the local
field regulations.
Eastern Airlines, Rickenbacker
pointed out, has put into effect its
own restrictions upon the landing and
take-off Of the larger DC-3 airplanes
at Washington Airport and other
fields along its routes. These re-
strictions, he said, are not necessary
in the case Of the smaller DE- type,
which can be operated safely where
the 49, cannot. This fact should
have been taken into more careful
consideration by the Commerce De-
partment in establishing it's new re-
strictions, he argues.

Transit Journal Ne,us Hints
Error in Dropping 81 Pass

Did the Capital Transit Co. make
a mistake in abolishing its 81 weekly
pass?
The Transit Journal News, pub
lished in New York, discloses in its
latest issue that more persons than
the company anticipated stopped
buying passes when they had to pay
SIPS instead of 81, and that there
was decrease of between 4 and
per cent in total passengers.
The company abolished the 81
weekly pass January with approval
of the Public Utilities Commission.
The Transit Journal News report,
which it said was based on q study
OF the result since that time, showed
that before the change the revenue
from the 81 pass represented about
So per cent OF total passenger re-
ceipts.
When the 81 pass was Withdrawn
tho company was selling about o0,o oc
. week Of both Il and 3l.25 passes

improvements made at Washington
Airport since they went into opera

restrictive regulations has been de-
nounced as unfair and unwarranted"
by Capt. Edward v. Rickenbacker,
general manager of Eastern Airlines.

planes has been equipped with new
850-horsepower engines, replacing
former power plants of 750 horse
power each, according to Ricken-
hacker The change, Just completed,
cost approximately 100000.
Constant Speed Propellers.
In addition, the airline now Is
equipping each Of its DE- airplanes
with constant speed propellers, which,
according to Rickenbacker, are making
possible a very material improvement
in the take-off and climb character
istics of these airplanes with full load.
The East-West runway at Wash
ington Airport, the shorter of the two
paved runways, is approximately 5000
feet long and is ample for our DE-
planes to take off and land safely
under the old ceiling and visibility
limitations" according to Ricken-
hacker. The ceiling and visibility
limitations, applied to operations at
all airports under the air commerce
act, are sufficient to guarantee safe
operation Of the DE- type at Wash
ington Airport under all conditions,
Rickenbacker believes.
He also has protested against the
new regulation in that it limits oper-
atoms strictly to the paved surface
Of the long runway. All of WASH
ington Airport's landing area, within
the boundary lights, is dry and suit
able for the landing and taking off
Of transport airplanes, Rickenbacker
said. BY departing from the paved
runway area and using the remainder
Of the field, he pointed out, it is pos
sible to get maximum distance of
approximately 1900 feet in a general

DAIRY LOSESF|GHT
I FOR 11-CENT MILK
U. S. Judges Deny Highland
Farms Plea to BaIk a.
Cent Minimum.

ALEXANDRIA, Va, September II.
Plans Of the Highland Farm Dairy
Co. OF Washington to sell milk here
and in Arlington County for IL cents
q quart have been knocked awry by
three Federal judges.
The jurists, sitting in special ses-
sion in the Post Office Building court
room yesterday, denied temporary
injunction sought by Highland Farms
to restrain the Virginia Milk Com
mission from forcing the dairy to
sell for IA cents, the minimum fixed
for the State by the commission.
Interstate Plea Made.
. Philip Resented. Highland attor-
ney, told the judges the dairy was
operating in interstate commerce and
outside State control when it ac-
cepted orders in Washinton for milk
and then delivered in Virginia at q
total price Of IL cents.
Justice Morris Sopef of the Fourth
Federal Circuit Court, Baltimore, pre-
siding, told Rosenfeld the transac-
ton involved interstate transporta-
ton but not necessarily interstate
commerce, because there was q ques-
ton whether the sale was made in
Virginia or Washington.
Way Also Sits on Case.
Sitting with Soper were Justice
Luther Way, senior judge of the
United States District Court for the
eastern district>of Virginia, and Jus
tice Robert N. Pollard OF Richmond,
Va. district judge for the same
district.
Assistant Attorney General Edwin
Gibson of Virginia represented the
commission.
The court agreed to reopen the
hearing II the dairy would reframe
its bill OF, complaint The Virginia
Supreme Court already has denied
the contention OF the dairy that the
commission has no jurisdiction over
the order-and- delivery sale.

BOARD WILL HOLD
TEACHER HEARING
Protests Against New Night
Instruction Plan Will Come
Up Tomorrow.

Protests against the new night
school teacher selection plan to be
inaugurated In the District public
school system this year will be heard
tomorrow in special session of the
Board Of Education at the Franklin
Administration Building following a
board Personnel Committee meeting
at 8 am.
Two features of the new proposals
are under fire. One requires degree
Tor appointment and the other "per-
mits" 80 per cent Of the appointments
to be from the ranks OF the day school
teachers.
Opponents of the plan assert it does
not spread employment sufficiently
and also criticize the fact that former
instructors not having the required
degree under the new plan are not
allowed to make up the deficiency.
The philosophy of the board as de-
cided in recent committee meetings
however, has been that the schools
are not being run to provide jobs, al
though spread was attempted wher-
ever possible during the depression
years. The board feels that SCHOOLING
OF the children should be the primary
credentials.
Franklin officials explained that the
ruling under which former nigh,
school teachers are not allowed to
make up deficiencies is because they
are appointed for one year only, where
as day school teachers are permanen,
employees pending good behavior and
competency.
Concerning the objection to the &c
per cent clause, it was understood tina
the tentative list of night school an.
polntments which DR.. Frank w. Bal.
lou, superintendent of schools, ex-
pected to present at the last boarc
meeting and will introduce tomorrow
contains only about Is per cent da,
school teachers. Last year there were
2l9 night school appointments in both
white and colored schools.
Meanwhile, school buildings hummec
with activity today as vacations ended
Tor more than 5000 teachers in the
school system, and buildings were be.
ing prepared for the grand openins
Monday.
