by the Commissioners of the District
to decide whether free tuition for
public school training here should
be allowed in the case of children
Of nonresident parents who are

auditor, Maj. Daniel j. Donovan
that many other pupils in this mon
resident" classification were admit
ted and taught in the public schools
under similar circumstances. The
corporation counsel had held that

ing Of two airliners bound to Wash
ington Airport from Pittsburgh.
The accident resulted in a power
pole being knocked down, cutting of
current to the Civil Aeronautics

ing the airways out of Washington.
Two airliners were on their way
here from Pittsburgh, flying on in
struments through thick weather,
when the range went out Of opera
ton. Pennsylvania Central Airlines
and American Airlines, operators OF
the two airliners, sent radio instruc-
tions to the pilots not to attempt to
come through until the range re-
sumed operation.
The Pennsylvania Central plane
at Martinsburg, w. Va, returned to
Pittsburgh to wait. The American
Airlines transport, with 600 gallons
of fuel aboard, was directed to cruise
back and forth on the southwest leg
of the Pittsburgh range beacon be-
tween Magnolia and Mount Pleas
ant, Pa, until the trouble cleared.
The beacon went out at 2:13 pm
and was back at $40 pm, after

sumed their trips. Eastern Air
Lines, operating through better
weather along the seacoast, brought
one airplane in during the range
