His toughest mission was over
the st. Omer air field, when the
bomber ran into a shower of fax
and came back with more than 40
major holes in the fuselage. The
hydraulic system was knocked out
so that it was necessary to land
without brakes. Also, although no
body knew it at the time, one of
the tires was punctured. But the
pilot made a very Skillful landing
and nobody was hurt.
A radio operator in the same

into combat flying the hard wagon

the heaviest antiaircraft fire they

"One piece" Sergt. Bailey says,

Final Argument Heart
In Fight on Order
To Reduce Bus Fares
Three-Judee Tribunal
Expected to Take Case
Under Amusement Todoy

A three Judge tribunal sitting ir
District Court was scheduled to take
under Amusement late today argu-
ments of four Washington area
transit companies contesting valid
ity Of the Interstate Commerce
Commission order directing the lines
to reduce bus fares between the Dis
trict and Government buildings ir
Arlington.
Counsels representing the -four
companies and the Virginia State
Corporation Commission at Rich.
mond concluded their arguments to-
day. Robert Pierce, special assistan,
to the attorney general, began hi.
reply in defense Of the ICC order.
Answering charges that the area
served by the companies in Arlington
was considered within the CONNER
cial zone of the District, and was
not interstate commerce, Mr.. Pierce
said the act defines interstate COM
merce as commerce between any
place in a State ana any place in
another State"
"A passenger who travels from
any point in the District to one of
the Government installations across
the Potomac in nearby Virginia is
making an interstate trip" Mr.
Pierce asserted.
THE fact that it may be neces-
sary for him, in order to accomplish
his journey, to change vehicles at
some point en- route or to utilize
the facilities of two or more of the
respondent carriers does not change
the essential character of the con-
tinuous interstate trip"

1t. Boyer says, lone can take evasive
action. There the attempt is to
catch individual ships and good
deal depends on the pilots skill in
lodging. AS everybody knows
especially the Germans, American
pilots are pretty good at it.
But there isn't much to do with
a barrage except to go through it
and trust to luck. The enemy
knows there is only one thing in
the neighborhood in which you have
the slightest interest. Unless you
can hit it you might as well go back
without opening your bomb bays.
But never have heard of anybody
turning back and pilots are getting
skillful even in the face of barrages
AS soon as the bombs are away it
is possible to carry out radical
evasive action. In the distance a
barrage looks like a whole bunch of
little black clouds. When you get
in the middle of it there is just q
mess of explosions all around"

he says, was over the airfield at
st. Omer when the hydraulic system
was shot out of action. An emer-

the wheels, but 1t was necessary to
make rough landing without any
brakes. In consequence the plane
ran off the runway but was not

Report Calls for Use
OF Social Workers
In Public Schools
Boord of Education
Advisory Committee
Submits Findings - -.

An advisory committee recon-
mended last night that the Board
of Education consider installing a
corps of social workers in the public
school system as one of number of
suggested steps to meet present and
postwar child problems.
The committee, adopting the
recommendations of its six subcom-
mittees, also urged a program of
psychiatric services for the public
schools.
Completing a study of commu-
nity-wide aspects of child problems
the group, appointed last June, ap-
proved en- mass recommendations
made by its subcommittee on the
school, home, recreation, protection
church and health. Its report will
be presented to the Board of Edu-
cation at its next meeting.
Legislation Required.
Under items requiring legislation
the board was urged to seek authori-
ty to use teachers salaries for en-
ployment of counselors to serve both
pupils in the schools and parents
in the home. Also recommended was
legislation to raise personnel stand
ards In recreation fields through in
creased salaries and retirement
plans.
To help meet the problem of n.y.
per-active, emotianlly unstable pulls
the committee recommended extern
sion of special adjustment classes
and the establishment of rooms to
provide rest periods for such pupils
wherever possible in the elementary
schools.
1t further suggested that school
principals and counselors, working
with heads of children's agencies
and Juvenile Court probation Off
GERS, set up cooperative plans and
procedures for a more systematic
handling of pupils having problems
of personality, behavior or of home
circumstance.
Health Report Approved.
Apr wing the report of its Sub
committee on Health, the group rec
commended courses of instruction in
sex hygiene adjusted to the COM
prehension level of junior and senior
high school students, sex delinouents
in other grades and persons con-
templating marriage, among others.
It also recommended instruction for
pre-school and elementary school,
age children in sex hygiene by
parents after they have received
proper instruction.
Courses in child problems for
groups of parents through Cooper
alton of local universities were rec
commended through the subcommit-
tee on the school.
Through its subcommittee on the
church the group urged prepara-
ton Of a pamphlet designed to guide
parents on the care of their chill
|dren, with the emphasis on the basic
value Of the home. It was suggested
that supplementary religious Sec
ton be included in such a manual
A recommendation for smaller
classes in the schools was given spe-
|cial emphasis.
Employment of a matron on the
custodial staff of large elementary
schools to serve in the rest room
girls lavatory and other assign
ments was suggested.

FPC Aide Testifies
Pepco Rate Base
Should Be Altered
Smith Tells PUG Firm
Should Use Prudent
Investment Method

Charles w. Smith, chief of the
Bureau OF Accounts, Finance and
Rates of the Federal Power Commits
sion, testified today before the Pub
lie Utilities Commission that he be-
lieved the rate base of the Potomac
Electric Power Co. should be fixed
by the prudent investment" method.
On the basis of this method, he
submitted figures indicating the rate
base of Pepco should be nearer
$82, 100000 than to the sos 900 900
current base. The witness defined
the prudent investment method" as
the cost of used and useful property
minus accrued depreciation, plus
working capital"
Mr.. Smith, who appeared several
weeks ago as witness on deprecia-
ton for the PUG in the annual
power rate hearings, was brought to
the stand today by Allan tombstone
general counsel for the Federal
Works Agency, intervenor in the
hearings.
Mr.. Smith defended the prudent
investment method as the "only
practical, reasonable, fair and
equitable method I know Of" Under
1t, he said it was possible to de-
termine the rate base in a reason
able time and with reasonable &C
curacy."
The witness assailed the fair
value method as fantastic" and
said that fairness would result only
as matter of accident" He said
it would take years to determine
the fair value of the property, which
includes consideration of the repro
duction costs of property.
At the request of Mr.. tombstone,
MIR. Smith prepared an exhibit
showing that on the basis of a 5
per cent return on rate base de-
termined by the investment method,
Pepco would have been entitled to a
return of $4,137 900 on its invest
ment in 1913. His figures indicated
the company earned more than ST.
100000 in excess of the S per cent
return.
At present. Pepco is allowed a
6 per cent return. Under the
present sliding scale arrangement
for fixing rates annually, v. A. Nc
Elfresh, chief accountant of the
PUG, testified that Pepco last year
earned $781 900 in excess of the
per cent rate.
Elements to be considered in fix
ing the rate base, Mr.. Smith ex-
planned, are an appraisal of the
money market for bonds, preferred
and common stocks, the geographical
location of the utility and stability
of its business.
