are said to have been sent through
the mail under his congressional
frank.

Hudson, publisher of a paper in
Omaha, Nebr., entitled America in
Danger" He recently purged him
self of contempt of court charge

BIackout Officials Await
Reports on Last Test

Conclusions on the effectiveness
of the Tuesday night blackout test
and plans for another one await de-
tailed reports from chiefs of the va
rious services involved. civilian Of
ficials said today.
The service chiefs have been given
a week to deliver their reports, which
are to contain recommendations
flaws noted, the number of civilian
defenders on duty, how the COM
munications system worked and
similar information designed to give
ranking officials picture of the i'm
provements which must be made in
Washington's preparations.
It was thought probable that the
communications system would have
to be modified to prevent clogging
of outgoing wires. The national o.
C. d. manual recommends that a
control center be established for
each 100000 persons. Washington
has only one control center for its
entire population.
Officials said there would be no
further blackout tests until the re-
ports. have been turned in and
analyzed and immediate improve
ments made. 1t was believed likely
that the next test would come early
in May.

His remedy
The school system of America is
challenged by this important as
signment. We must begin immedi-
ately to adjust the roster of every
student in all of our schools to pro-
vide for ut least one period daily of
physical activity.
Somewhere between the so-called
gym classes now so prevalent and
the brutally effective training of a
socialized state like Germany, there
must be an intelligently democratic
way of realizing our aims"
Students in the District junior

Utilities Commission
Concludes Hearinq
On Taxicab Zones
Findings to Be Ready
In About q Week,
Honkin Says

Public hearings on proposed new
taxicab iates and zones we're con-
cluded today by the Public Utilities
Commission, and Chairman Gregory
Hankin said probably week or
more would elapse before a decision
was announced.
The mass of statistical data and
argument taken from scores of taxi
operators and private citizens, he
said, will be carefully studied by
the commission.
He said he felt one of the real
questions developed at the hearings.
aside from the need for a better
zone system and the basic rates,
was whether a limited charge should
be ordered for short trips regardless
of what zone or subzone boundaries
were crossed.
Plan Generally Approved.
The new zone and SubZone Sys-
tenn developed by members of the
commissions staff was generally ap-
proved at the hearing. There was
strong opposition, however. to the
proposal that for trips of mile or
less, regardless of zone boundaries,
the charge be two-thirds of the
charge for any one-zone fare.
There were definite indications
that the commission probably
would order a new zone system. with
the second, third and fourth zones
divided into Subzones, with the
commission definitely stating what
should be the fare for trips between
any zone or Subzone. Taxi drivers
have protested any new fares which
would be lower than the present
temporary 30-40-60-S0 cent system.
20-Cent Rate Opposed.
Outspoken opposition to adoption
of any reduced rate for taXicab
trips OF one mile or less was voiced
by several Spokesmen for the in
dustry yesterday afternoon.
J. H. Royer. jr.. president of the
District Taxi Owners Association,
an organization of about a dozen
cab companies and associations, de-
/ clared no one wants 20-cent
rate" and that he anticipated there
would be thousands of complaints
each day If the commission ordered
two-thirds of a one-sone fare for
trips OF a mile or less. Use of
speedometer readings for such a
test, he said. would be impossible.
Request that the commission per-
nit l0-cent service charge for
! drivers who answer telephone cal
box calls for taXis was filed by Mr.
Royer He said he had found the
cost of operating call boxes was IL
cents per call, not counting dead
mileage, waiting time under five
minutes and failure of the customer
TO wait for the responding cab.
