Second Atlantic AirmaiI
Subsidy Hit by 1Ydings

BY the Associated Press.
Battling an administration re-
quest for Subsidizing second trans
Atlantic airmail line, Senator Tyd-
ings, Democrat. of Maryland, told
the Senate yesterday that this was
an extravaganza at a time when
Congress was going to bleed the
people white with new taxes"
He urged defeat of an 100000
subsidy to begin a weekly round
trip flight to Europe by American
Export AirlineS, Inc, subsidiary OF
American Export Lines, steamship
company now operating over the
only route open to Europe by way
of Lisbon.
BY 13-to-12 vote the Senate
Appropriations Committee had in
cluded the 100000 to begin the new
trans Atlantic line and S416.000 to
add q fourth trip weekly by
Pan American Airways, which pio-
neered the present transatlantic
airline as well as routes to South
America and across the Pacific.
OcldIOi 1yOllleS SOulltCicu Cldlliio
of administration supporters that
Pan American now has a monopoly
of European air traffic with the
statement that American Export
Lines held a virtual monopoly on
ocean surface passenger service to
Europe.
Support for the proposed second
airline to Europe came chiefly from
Senators Hayden, Democrat, of Ari-
zona and OMahoney, Democrat, of
wyoming. They said Pan Ameri-
can Airways already had received
more than $90,O00,O0O in Govern
ment subsidies although the Gov
eminent had sold less than SAC, 0,000,-

Wafer Supply Safe
And Pure in District,
Experts Report
PorIey Studies Possible
Gross Connections;
Rotionine Fear Dispe|led

Assurances that the District water
supply is safe and pure were given
today by District officials as it was
announced that a joint conference
between Federal and District eX-
perts had been called to consider
correction of any possible cross
connection" which might cause
contamination.
Possibility that cross connections
of pipes carrying Washington's puri-
fled drinking water and untreated
river water or we'll water. such as is
used in air conditioning units or for
other building purposes has been
under study by District and Federal
officials for at least two years.
However, Engineer Commissioner
David McCoach said: Washing
toms water supply is excellent. We
are having ,tAese conferences to see
that Nesdfs doing all possible to
remove hSrSfnotest possibility that
it will not stay excellent
Conference Called May 1S.
Col. McCoach said the next Joint
conference would be held at 2 pm.
May 19 and that representatives of
the Federal Works Agency, which
is in charge of public buildings: the
Federal Security Administration,
which has charge of the Public
Health Service: the United States
engineers office, which has charge
of the Districts water supply sys-
tenn: the District Health Depart
ment, and the District plumbing
division were asked to be repre-
sented.
Some officials have suspicious
there may be cross-connections IN
Federal buildings and other places,
particularly where untreated water
is used for air-conditioning.
An official of the United States
engineers Office said today the bac-
terra count in the Districts water
supply is exceedingly low" one OF
the best in the country.
Improvements Planned.
Since 1888, the United States Pub
lie Health Service has given the
District only a provisional cer-
tificate for its water supply, on the
basis, it was said, of reports which
indicated there was some potential
danger of cross connections. Dis
trict officials said this did not indi-
cate an alarming situation at all, but
that improvements were so planned
that the District could get an un-
qualified certificate.
Fears that it might be necessary
to ration water to Washington resi-
dents. because of the drought, were
dispelled earlier today by declara-
ton by Edwin A. Schmitt, principal
civilian engineer Of the District en-
gineer office. Mr.. Schmitt said the
District had been using about 120,-
100000 gallons of water day
whereas the Dalecarlia supply sys-
tenn was capable of supplying 155,
100000 gallons a day.

not be moved and there will be no
encroachments upon 1t.
Underpass at Dupont Circle.
An underpass is planned at Du-
pont Circle, where at present it is
impossible for the volume of traf-
flc to pass. This is 10-point in
tersection, with two heavy streams
Of traffic, supplemented by feeder
streets. A similar structure is pro-
posed under Washington Circle,
where K street will be placed un-
derground, while a third the tun-
mel for Sixteenth street under Scott
Circle, is 40 per cent complete.
Other grade separation structures
will be placed at Fifteenth and
Benning road, at New York and
West Virginia avenues, at Thir-
teenth street and New York ave-
nue. and at West Virginia. Mon
tana and New York avenues. all
points of heavy congestion Traf-
flc there is so great, it was ex-
planned, that the divided time of
stop-light cycles will not provide
sufficient opportunity for cars to
pass through without undue delay
At New York avenue and Ninth
! street the avenue will be tun-
neled under the street in connec-
ton with the approaches to the new
Ninth street bridge.
BY far the costliest phase of
the grade separation program Is
caused by the great volume of
traffic along K street. After much
study and consideration, it was
determined finally that the only
solution would be to resort to ele-
waited and depressed highways.
ChanneliZations, according to Capt
Whitehurst, would result only in
congestion.
Bypass for NJ Street.
The present grade separation
structure at K street and Rock
Greek was designed to take super
structure that would give access to
an elevated highway. Such high
way is planned in the new program
as bypass for M street in George
town, now one of the most congeSted
arteries of the District.
This bypass would start with
depressed highway along K street
just west of Connecticut avenue
and would connect with the overpass
at Rock Creek and Potomac Park
way. From there it would con-
tinue as an elevated street, pass
ing under Key Bridge and having
suitable interchange roads thereto.
1t would continue across the c. G.
o. Canal and connect with widened
Canal road. providing a direct con-
nection to Canal road to the west,
to Conduit road and to Foxhall
road.
Major streets will be bridged over
the depressed highway, each of
these spans costing an estimated
$4,000. Capt. Whitehurst said he
was unable to predict at present
which streets would be extended
across the depression in this man
ner, but that he thought most of
them, because of their importance
to the neighborhood, would be in
cluded.

Warning Again Loses
Plea for Freedom
On Habeds Corpus
GoIdsborough Rules Jury
Is Arm of Law, No Matter
Where Approached

Emmett R. Warning, former king
pin of District numbers operators,
lost today in his second attempt to
gain freedom from the Lorton (Va)
Reformatory on a habeas corpus
writ. Warning is serving sentences
for contempt of court in connection
with alleged jury tampering.
Defense Counsel Myron G. Ehrlich
had contended that the alleged con-
tempt did not take place within
close proximity of the courthouse
and so was invalid under Supreme
Court decision of las tmonth.
However, District Court Justice T.
Alan Goldsborough said, in denying
Warning his freedom today: mo
matter where the jury was ar-
preached. it was still an arm Of the
law" He pointed out that, in a
sense, jurors are judicial officers and
they act as judges of the facts in
case.
Mr.. Ehrlich said the decision
would be appealed to the United
States Court of Appeals. On a pre-
vious unsuccessful habeas corpus at
tempt, Warning claimed that when
Justice Bolitha j. Laws sentenced
him on the contempt of court con-
viction, the jurist failed to observe
the maximum and minimum pro-
visions of the Indeterminate Sen
tence Act.
Assistant United States Attorney
John w. Fihelly, who represented
the Government at today's hearing
contended the contempt charge and
the subsequent sentencing were
within the province of law.
Warning received three to nine
months sentence on charge of in
come tax evasion, and rs months
on the jury tampering charge.

last night.
Caution Against Propaganda.
Cautioning the ministry against
using the pulpit for the purpose Of
propaganda. Bishop Freeman insist

the institutions We hold indispens-
able and sacred"

Bishop Freeman said that while
the sympathies of the church are
clearly defined and generously ex-
pressed" it remains for wise and
Christian statesman to determine
the Nations future course"

would be that of arbiter when peace
is restored
Bishop Freeman announced that
