|Hitch-Hiker
Is Robbed by

Motorists are often warned not to
give rides to hitch-hikers. Here is
a warning to mixers.
Henry Garretson, Cincinnati, Ohio,
was given a lift from Maryland into
the District this morning by a mo-
torist.
Arriving at First street and Massa-
chusetts avenue NE, the motorist
asked Garretson to do him a favor.
Run into the post Office and get me
two Scent stamps" he said. Gar
retson complied willingly.
When he came out, however,
stamps in hand, the motorist was
not to be found, nor his car. In the
automobile was Garretson's suit case
containing all the clothes he had
brought with him from Cincinnati.
He estimated his loss at $25.

Chicago Grain
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated PreSS,
CHICAGO, Jan. 14-Wheat prices
tended minor fractions downward
early today and the market moved
within range of Il cent. Trading
was at low ebb.
The market was somewhat
stronger than expected in the face
OF lower than due Liverpool quota
tions and precipitation in much of
the domestic wheat belt.
Contributing to the better tone
here was improved strength in Sc
curities. Traders took note also of
lessened tension in the European po-
litical situation.
Liverpool quotations, due 1s-A
lower, on the basis of action here
yesterday, closed ss-as off. Other
foreign wheat markets also closed
fractions lower.
Broomhall said trading in Liver
pool wheat futures was very slow
and prices eased on scattered selling,
Influenced by easier offerings from
shippers and lack of demand for
the actual grain.
In the domestic wheat belt pre-
cipitation fell overnight on much
of the area. Weather continued un-
settled with more snow predicted
IN all States except possibly Kansas
and Nebraska.
Chicago corn paralleled the wheat
market. Selling was of small volume
and scattered. Corn receipts were
estimated at 112 cars, the largest Of
any day this week, but country Of
ferings were extremely light. Steady
shippers offers were reported in the
United Kingdom, but demand failed
to improve, according to cables. The
Buenos Aires corn market closed

Oats and rye were little changed
following wheat and corn. Provi-
sions were somewhat higher, reflect
ing better hog prices.

to slide" on straight path to a

nel' fog dissipator, were seen today
as sciences latest weapons against

Massachusetts, Institute of Tech
nology engineers reported they be-
lieved it soon would be possible for a
pilot to glide on straight, invisible
path through the overcast, as dis
tinguished from curved" ap-
proach already tested with some
positive results by experimenters.
And twin aid to the invisible
"chute," they announced, was a
tunnel into which local ground fog
can be sucked, clearing space enough
for an aviator to see a fence 5000
feet from his point of contact.
Radio Beams Used.
Prof. Edward l.. Bowles, reporting
on a decades study of blind land
ing" possibilities and control of local
fog, said en- route flying would be
aided by the blind-landing research
being made here under the auspices
of the Civil Aeronautics Authority.
His colleagues, H. G. Houghton
and w. H. Radford, declared an
other possible application of the fog
dissipator would be on airplane car
riers at sea, and the investigators
also have set as goal the solution
Of the problem of bringing ships into
fogbound harbors.
Prof. BoWles explained that the
M. I. T. devices on which positive
results have been obtained expert
mentally, was designed as develop
ment of other instrument landing
systems using radio beams. He said
Army pioneers, some air lines and
several commercial organizations
had obtained positive results in m

But, he added, the Tech method
was aimed as an improvement, with
the new departure being transla-
ton of radio beams from the field
into three lights on the plans in

These lights, on an aircraft in
strument board, he explained, simu-
late geometric plane which might
be formed by three guide lights
placed in triangle on a landing
field.
In the same way that a flyer
could land safely by following an
imaginery line exactly bisecting
such a triangle, so, he can follow
the guidance of the "radioed lights
on his instrument board.
It's when a planes wheels touch
the ground that the Tech fog dissi-
pator would begin its work. The

Hearings on Lea Rail
Proposals 10 Start
On tuesday
Other Problems to Get
Prior Consideration
In Congress
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
Administration leaders in thu
House tacitly Endorsed today tho
principles Of proposed legislation to
aid the railroads, but they indicated
other problems would receive con-
gressional consideration first.
Informed persons said that, al.
though President Roosevelt spoke in
his annual message to Congress Of
the necessity Of "ameliorating" the
general transportation problem, he
had not asked his leaders on Capi-
tol Hill to rush any rail aid program
to passage.
Hearings to Start Tuesday.
Chairman Lea of the House In
terstate Commerce Committee yes
terday introduced a bill which he
said should enable the carriers to
operate on "self-supporting basis"
Hearings on this proposal are sched-
uled to start next Tuesday.
Representative Lea, who prepared
the legislation in cooperation with
representatives of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, the Civil
Aeronautics Authority and the Mari
time Commission, talked 1t over
with Mr.. Roosevelt yesterday, but
did not indicate what the Presi-
dents attitude was.
He said he did not know whethe"
the President would send Congre,
special message on the subject
railroads as he did last spring.
The Lea proposal calls for:
Reorganization of the I. C. C.
Extension of its jurisdiction to Q
types Of interstate transportation.
Would Enlarge Commission.
Authority for the I. c. G. to Fl :.
minimum rates and fares.
Authority for the carriers, rathe"
than the commission, to originate
reorganizations and consolidation
proceedings.
Labor and equipment loans to the
railroads from the Reconstruction
Finance Corp.
Establishment of a special rail-
road reorganization board.
The commission would be in
creased from the present II members
to 10 and. instead of all the mem
bers handling rate, finance and ap-
peal problems, they would be divided.
into three groups.
An administrator would be ap-
pointed to study the special fitness
OF one type of transportation to
carry particular kind of freight.
He would make recommendation
on this question to the full COM
mission for consideration in fixing
minimum rates.
Representative Lea said the COM
mission would have power to pre-
scribe minimum rates charged by
each transportation agency-rail-
roads, trucks, buses, coastwise ship
ping, inland water carriers, pipelines
and air carriers. He explained:
This power is to be exercised
only upon the commissions own
initiative in the public interest
when it has reason to believe that
the rates Of any transportation
agency now subject to regulatory
laws of the United States are
unreasonably low or destructive"
In usually informed quarters it
was said the administration was
not yet ready to indorse any pro-
gram Of rail legislation. Mr.. Roose-
welt intends to confer next week,
however, with Senator Wheeler
Democrat, Of Montana. chairman
of the Senate Committee on Inter
state Commerce.
