FlyingRule
Reduces
PeriLs

A forward step in controlling
aerial traffic over Washington
and reducing the hazard of col
hsion has just been taken with
the adoption Of regulations by
representatives of the Army, Navy
and Washington airportS, and the
airwayS operation division Of the
Bureau of Air Commerce.
The regulations provide that
commercial planes using washing
ton airport shall not fly over
Boiling Field and that aircraft
operating at either the Army or
Navy air stations in Anacostia
shall not cruise over Washington
Airport. Essentially. the agree
ment provides that aircraft flying
in the vicinity Of the three air
ports shall enter only the opera
tions area Of the terminal they
are using as a base.
The regulations were drawn up
at a conference called by the Bu-
reau Of Air Commerce, at the re-
quest of 1t. Col William o. Ryan,
who objected to planes leaving
Washington Airport and flying
over the Army's field at low al
titude.
The restriction will apply only
to planes flying lower than 1000
feet.
Attending the conference were
Colonel Ryan, Fred L. Smith,
chief of the airport traffic control
section, and Glenn A. Gilbert,
chief of the airway traffic control
section, Bureau Of Air Commerce;
Lee Warren, manager Of the air
way traffic control station Of
Washington airport, and Comdr.

Elgen admitted the parking ban

inevitable and suggested it be en-.
forced on all important streets
from Massachusetts Avenue to the
Capitol.
The utilities commissioner esti-
mated street cars now travel at

speed were increased to IL miles

SPAIN GREETING
DRAWS PROTEST

NEW YORK, Feb. 4 Q.N.S0.-A
stinging protest against the round
robin greeting of 80 United States
Senators and Representatives to
the Spanish parliament was for
warded to Washington today by
the New York chapter of the Ma
tional Catholic Alumni Fedora
ton.
The statement condemned the
greeting as "a clumsy attempt tc
officially ally the Government OF
the United States with the forces
of destruction that are wreaking
havoc in Europe"
The protest was sent to New
Yorks Senators and Representa-
tives-none of whom signed the
greeting-with the request that
they take the first opportunity
to make known on the floor of
Congress that the views expressed
in the greeting are not those of
the American Congress or people. "

PATIENTS IN PANIC
Attendants who first reached
the scene found O'Keefe dead and
the other four victims writhing
on the floor. The other patients
were hysterical. Pandemonium
reigned in the adjacent dormi
tories as patients sought to es-
cape from the building. Some fled
through the nearest exits into the
cold. Others, in nightclothing,
huddled on fire escapes.

Police were summoned from

Mack.
Residents of all homes in the
immediate vicinity were aroused
by telephone and warned to bar
all doors and admit no one.
EMPTIES GUN
Mack, hospital authorities said,
fired all the bullets in his pistol,
but it was feared he might have
reloaded it.
How he obtained possession of
the pistol was a mystery. He ap-
parently had hidden it in his bed.
Today he apparently arose quietly
took the weapon from its hiding
place and then passed down row
of cots in the dormitory, pumping
a bullet into the occupant of each
cot until the pistol was empty.

expectation was joint congress
sional committee embracing mem
berS of the Senate and House Judi
ciary committees would be created
to- explore ramifications of the
Sherman antitrust law, Clayton
act and numerous proposals for
smashing giant corporations.
"At this time would say that
Congress is likely to adjourn in
early May" said Democratic
Senate Leader Barkley of Ken
lucky. ''I don't think there will
be any trouble about a bank
holding company abolition bill
in the Senate, but a general anti
monopoly program would likely
remain in the study stage until
the next session of Congress-"
OTHERS FOREsEE JUNE
Despite Barkley's optimism for
early adjournment, other Senators
said they believed Congress would
be in session we'll into June.
Minority Leader McNary of Ore
gon took that view, while Chair
man Pat Harrison CD of Mis-
sissippi, of the finance commit
tee, was preparing for a long, hard
fight over the new revenue bill.
No new major legislation was
expected to be recommended by
President Roosevelt for the pres
ent Congress. Democratic leaders
who have been attending the
Monday legislative conferences
with the President said they
gained that impression.
While not excluding possibly
other legislation, Barkley sug-
gested that before Congress calls
it quits, there will have been
passed the tax-revising bill, all de-
partmentaI appropriation bills, the
farm bill, national defense pro-
gram, and a measure to outlaw
bank holding companies. He de-
clined to forecast the fate of the
anti-lynching bill pending in the
Senate.
