flying prospects, a Catholic nun OF

few nuns to hold student pilot S
license. yesterday told an interested
group at Catholic University.
Sister Mary Aquinas, who will
have charge of the division of age
education at Catholic University
this summer, said she had found
that boys and girls of that age have
the energy. enthusiasm and red
blooded American spirit that makes
successful flyers. aeronautical en-
gineers and craftsmen.
Even at 49," she added. they
have passed that peak and lost some
of their enthusiasm.
Sister Mary Aquinas became in

subject several years ago when she
found her pupils conversation at

discovered that aviation revived q

Wisconsin Unit
Joins Gfeenbe|t
In Rent Fight
GreendoIe Project
May Cooperate
In Legal Action
By ]. B. ZATMAN.

Greendale, Wis, has joined Green
belt, Md, in fighting rent increases
which become effective in both towns
today, while the third housing de-
velopment affected by the rent
boosts has been asked to enlist in the
fight. IT was learned today.
A new rent schedule was set up
for the three towns by the Federal
Housing Authority last month. This
action precipitated vigorous pro-
test by Greenbelt residents, who
last week authorized a rent protest
committee to employ a Baltimore
legal firm in an effort to obtain an
injunction against the increases.
Martin Miller, chairman of the
committee, said he had received a;
letter from John P. Schroeder. sec
retary of the Greendale Citizens
Association at the Wisconsin devel-
opment, suggesting that the two
projects join forces in the legal bat
tie. Mr.. Miller added that he had
written to Mr. Schroeder, agreeing
to the proposal and had also asked
GreenhllLs, near Cincinnati, to state
Its attitude on the rent increases.
In his letter Mr.. Schroeder said
he had appointed a committee to
come to Washington to protest
against the increases. but that the
FPHA had stated it had no time
to see the committee
A meeting has been called bv
the Greenbelt Citizens Association
for o'clock tonight in the Green
belt Elementary School to hear a
report on the progress of the fight
and to take any further steps neces-
sary to take the action into court.
The three so-called "Greenbe]t"
housing developments were estab-
lished about five years ago by the
Farm Security Administration to
provide housing for persons of mod
crate incomes. They were taken
over by the FPHA last year.
In ordering the rent increases.
FPHA officials pointed out that
salaries of residents of the three
towns have increased and that the
new graded rent program was based
on ability to pay.

-Four Are Injured
In Bus-Car Crash
.0n 18th Street
Motorcycle Policeman
Hurt While Chasing
Speeding Driver

-Four persons were injured In a
crash involving a heavily loaded bus
and two automobiles during the rush
hour this morning at Sixteenth
street and Spring road NV.
Police said the bus rammed into
the rear of one automobile which
in turn crashed into the back of a
second automobile.
Injured were:
Mrs. Helen Barnes, 40. of 1O4 East
wood avenue, Silver Spring, Md,
shock.
Robert Barnes, 43, of the Silver
Spring address, abrasions. Both
were treated at Garfield Hospital
for shock.
Thomas Callahan, %. of 59l7 Six
teenth street NV, treated at Gar
field Hospital for shock.
James E. ODonnell. 80, also of
the Sixteenth street address, treated
at Garfield Hospital for a neck in
jury.
Police said all of those injured
were in the same automobile which
was struck by the bus. No one in
the second car was injured Police
listed the driver of the bus as Will
liam NJ Shaded, %, of 1885 N street
NV.
In another accident this morning
Policeman John Sobolewsky, "a. suf-
tered serious head injuries when
he was thrown from his motor
cycle while chasing a speeder at
Chevy Chase Circle and Western
avenue
Police said Pvt. Sobolewsky skid
ded on the wet streets while pur-
suing an automobile with Motor
cycle Policeman Donald G. Drager.
The driver was not apprehended, as
Mr.. Drager stopped to assist his fel-
low officer.
Pvt. Sobolewsky was still uncon-
scious this morning in Emergency
Hospital.
Meanwhile, statistics prepared by
the Police Accident Investigation
Unit for last week reflected the gas
oline famine. Figures showed a
decrease of more than 20 per cent
in total accidents last week as COM
pared to the average of the previous
two weeks.
Accidents involving pedestrians
dropped about 80 per cent last week
and motor vehicle collisions de-
creased about 20 per cent.
Police traffic experts regarded as
significant the drop in pedestrian
injuries, since, in theory, the num-
Der should have increased, due to
the steady increase in pedestrian
traffic. An increase in pedestrian
injuries was expected in spite OF
the curtailment of motor vehicle
traffic.
Figures for the three weeks be-
ginning May 8 show:
Week of May 8: Accidents, 1877:
injuries, 81; deaths, 2. Week Of May
