ready to announce the chairmen Of
the other subcommittee He has al.
ready named the following: Taxes,
Representative Nichols Of Oklahoma:
public utilities, Representative RAN

public health, Representative Jenckes
OF Indiana.
MIR. Collins plans to have the Dis
trict Commissioners attend the first
hearing on the District appropriation
bill, to be followed on Tuesday by the
District auditor. Daniel J. Donovan.
Approves School Plan.
Mr.. Palmisano announced that he
heartily approves the proposal to com.
pei nonresident pupils in the public
schools Of the District to pay tuition.
Himself resident of Maryland, Mr..
palmisano said: There is no justice
in forcing the taxpayers in Washing
ton to pay for the education Of Mary
land or Virginia children. I antici-
pate that some residents Of Maryland
and Virginia will complain II they are
compelled to pay tuition; but they
certainly would complain much more
vociferously If they had to provide
schoolhouses, teachers and text books
for Washington children"
The plan for forcing out-of-town
children to pay their way in District
schools Is embodied in bill drafted
by Corporation Counsel Elwood Seal,
which is to be sent by the Commits
sioners to the House and Senate Dis
trict Committees as part Of their legis-
lative program. An effort was made
some years ago to. have such legisla-
ton passed but 1t was defeated through
the efforts of the late Representative
Zihlman Of Maryland, who was then
chairman Of the District Committee.
Would Save d. C. S250,00o.
that DR.. Frank w. Ballou, superin-
tendent Of schools, has estimated that
such legislation would save the Dis
trict taxpayers upwards Of $250,000
annually.
Last year Court OF Appeals ruling
held that the effort to bar from Dis
trict schools Maryland and Virginia
children whose parents are employed
in the District was illegal. It was
shown that upward of 5000 out-of.
town pupils are in the Washington
schools, only SO of whom paid tuition,
Other District measures which
Chairman Palmisano will bring to
the attention Of his committee at the
meetings Wednesday include: Pro.
posals to tighten the criminal code in
regard to slayings committed during
hold-ups; establishing a farm for
inebriates: minor amendments to the
new inheritance tax law; substituting
a medical examiner for the present
office of coroner, and creation Of
commission to design a suitable OH
cial flag for the District.

today when King George and
Queen Elizabeth decked out in
their robes of royalty, partici-

LAKEHURST, N. j., May 10
Q.N.S0.-Comdr. Charles E. Ros-
endahl, of the Lakehurst Naval
Air Station, testifying today at
the Department of Commences
inquiry into the cause of the dirigi-
BILE Hindenburg disaster, which
caused the death Of IS persons, de-
clared that in his opinion "condi-
lions we're entirely satisfactory
for landing.'s
The American ground crew
functioned properly in the crisis,
according to Rosendhal. At his
instructions they rushed clear Of
the wreckage when the linden
burg burst into flames. But they
returned almost Immediately to
the burning ship to help rescue
passengers and members of the
crew.
Heroic Rescue Work
He described how the ground
crew worked heroically to rescue
the victims; the making Of tele-
phone calls for help and how one
of the crew, Allen Hagaman, Of
Lakehurst, suffered burns that re-
suited in his death. He said:
eve have accomplished land
ingS in transforms much like the
one in the hour preceding the
Hindenburg'S arrival. There was
occasional lightning in the South
and Southwest but local cOndi-
tiOns were improving rapidly"
RoSendahl said the Hindenburg
was due to arrive at 6 a. m. Thurs
day but he received dispatches
telling of headwinds and showing
the ship would be at least IL hours
late.
231 Handled Ship
Arrangements were made for a
ground crew of 231 men-92 Navy
men, 139 experienced civilians.
He testified:
1--WE sent radio messages to the
ship saying the weather here
was unsettled. There was a low
pressure area around the sta
ton with moderate thunder
storms at 4 p. m. At $3.50 p. m.
the local thunderstOrms were
continuing"
Soon afterward the storms
abateo and at 5:43 p. m. EST,
he sent a message to the linden
burg reading:
Landing conditions unsettled.
