State Department
Awaits British Action
On Ocean Airway
French Permit for
Flights May Prod
Enolish Move

The State Department unoficially
was watching today for British ac-
ton which might lead to inaugura-
ton Of direct transatlantic flights
between the United States and Eng
land.
1t was thought that Frances sign
Ing of a permit for flights between
this country and France might be
prod to the British. The State De-
partment announced the French &C
yesterday.
The United States and Great
Britain reached an agreement on
the ocean airWay in December,
1885. Britain, however, has not yet
signified her readiness to carry out
her part of this service, and the
agreement specifics that both sides
must start simultaneously.
The French permit enables one
or more American transport lines
to offer commercial airline service
TO France. Now, even if Britain
still holds back, Americans will be
able to fly between here and Lon
don by way of France.
The United States promised
France she would be willing to en-
ter into negotiations with the French
government for the conclusion OF
reciprocal air transport agreement,
the State Department announced.
The permit granted by France
calls for a maximum of four round
trips per week for period of six
months from the date of the first
fight. The American Embassy In
Paris told the French government
that one or more American COM
panies would be prepared ito COM
mence transatlantic air service
within the near future"
If France applies to the United
States for a similar permit and her
application is denied, France is given
the right to cancel the six-month
permit.
The Civil Aeronautics Authority
here must grant a certificate of
public convenience and necessity"
before an American company can
begin to operate the transatlantic
run.
The State Department did not an
nounce the names of air transport
companies ready to begin service.
However, the Pan-American Always
and the American Export Airlines,
Inc, are most prominently men
toned.
The route to be followed was not
mentioned, but it is known Pan
American Airways has permission
from the Portuguese government to
use the Azores Islands as a midway
landing point.

the new job list would be director
for the proposed new District De-
partment of Employment and Social
Security. Mr.. Lewis proposed that
this executives salary be $500. or
$500 higher than that of the Dis
trict Commissioners and higher than
any regular District job other than
that of the superintendent of
schools.
Under this new executive there
would be to assistant directors at
$4,000 and another assistant director
at $500, in addition to various Spe-
cial technicians for occupational
and vocational work, medical super
visers, nurses and SO new case
assignments.
The remainder of the bracket of
this additional $629,800 fund, or
$4,000. would be spent for pro-
posed new rehabilitation services,
such as establishment of a training
camp for needy youths, special
training center for unattached
youths at Camp Eustis and Dis
trict training center for youths
above C. c. c. enrolment age.
Revolving Funds Proposed.
In addition to these items, Mr.
Lewis proposed provision of $308, SAT
for revolving funds for the WASH
ington Self Help Exchange, re-
volving fund for youth training CEN
ters and miscellaneous expenses in
connection with these items.
Against all these suggested new
outlays by the District and Federal
Governments, Mr.. Lewis reiterated
his belief that by proper handling
of relief and w. P. A. programs in
the District there could be saved
annually sum amounting to $717,-

Federal construction, four months
of direct relief would be sufficient" j."
costing 1929 400. He has argued that
employment of w. P. A. clients on
Federal construction jobs here would
greatly cut relief needs.
The investigator repeated that he
believed SIS per cent of the 4,791
cases on the w. P. A. waiting lists
could be eliminated from immedi-
ate consideration. Counting on P.
w. A. projects to absorb many others
on the list, he estimated that some
900 would remain in need and he
suggested $25 a month relief over
a period of five months, at a cost
of s113,5OO.
Then he figured that of those on
direct relief of the Public Assistance
Division some 1900 persons would
need an extra $40 a month for
treatment and rehabilitation" cost
ing an added s156,000 year.
There then would be left some
557 practically unemployable and
older women, found by those in
charge of the women's projects in
w. P A. to be too inefficient for
any present employment, said Mr..
Lewis. To put these on direct relief
for one year, at $3.50 per person,
would cost $780, $50.
Adds s629,00O.
In addition to the outlays pro-
posed for special relief problems,
Mr.. Lewis suggested expenditure of
an additional s629 300 for two pur-
poses: Increased personnel and new
special rehabilitation activities.
The net increase proposed for new
personnel was calculated in this tab
ulation at $209,8OO, providing for
more than 80 new jobs. Heading

Mr.. Lewis also suggested that the
Gallup and Fortune and other polls
OF public opinion might be employed
as guides to sentiment here on
many phases of relief programs. In
this connection he asserted that the
support of the people of the District,
plus the fullest cooperation of the
District and Federal Governments
rather than ANY more buck pass

demonstration of how to deal with
long-range planning for the relief
and unemployment situations.

Against Girl
| Is Dismissed

Substitute Trial Justice c. r. Ahalt
in Arlington (Va) County Court to-
day dismissed warrant charging
perjury which was brought by a
Washington woman against her
daughter, in which it was alleged
that the daughter had given an in
correct age in obtaining marriage
license.
Mrs. Catherine Gleason of Oil
Potomac avenue Sc, mother of Mrs.
Margaret B. Cantrell, the defendant,
told Judge Ahalt she wanted her
daughters marriage voided. County
marriage records showed that
Thomas j. Cantrell, jr., a sailor at
the Receiving Station at Washington
Navy Yard, and Margaret B. Gleason
were married last December.
Judge Ahalt advised Mrs. Gleason
that conviction on the perjury
charge would mean a Jail sentence
for her daughter. Mrs. Gleason said
she didn't want that but she did
want the marriage voided because,
she said, her daughter was only II
years old.
Judge Ahalt also dismissed the
warrant for Mr.. Cantrell.

the huge, often smoking, freplaces at
which we might have had to cook. But
in the Twenty-first Century some
writer will pore over our books and

our faces have grown flushed, like hers,
