and ran down her cheeks and she
turned her face into her pillow.
She waited until late in the
morning TO appear downstairs,
hoping that her mother would
have gone out. But Mrs. Winston
met her in the hall, followed her
into the breakfast room. Did you

Page consented to the egg,. to

her lips tightening. She said:

looked a little sharply at Page.
"Why did you ask that?"

Radar at New York
To Guide D. {. Planes

Airplanes operating between
Washington and New York soon
will have constant radar guidance.
The War Department announced
yesterday long-range radar equip
ment, similar to that now being
set up at Washington's National
Airport, will be installed next month
on the grounds of Queens College,
8 miles east of La Guardia Field,
New York.
The $5OO,0OO AAF equipment will
be used by the Civil Aeronautics
Administration and the Airborne
Instruments Laboratory, an affiliate
of the Air Transport Association,
in tests to evaluate such radar de-
vices in the control of heavy air
traffic over metropolitan areas.
The AAF believes that, when both
long-range radar units are installed
in New York and Washington, the
route between the two cities will
be completely covered by the over
tapping of the two radar sweeps
Pilots flying blindly can be ground
ed safely at either airport.
New York is providing the site
for the radar units and is assum-
ing tie cost of construction. The
equipment will have a sweep range
of $50 miles, somewhat less than
that att Washington. 1t also will
be able to determine the location oil
thunderstorms and other weather
conditions.

Big Drop Revealed
In Teacher Aspirants

An explanation of why there are
nearly 400 temporary teachers in
Washington's public schools was seen
today in report of the examining
board showing only 10 white can
didates for nonacademic teaching
posts qualified as a result of annual
examinations held last December.
The Is were chosen from a hist of
q applicants. Two additional white
teachers were selected for physical
education posts out of three who
took the test. To be spread through
all grade levels, the new permanent
teachers will instruct such courses
as music, art, home economics and
shop.
School officials said that while
the percentage of those qualifying
was good, the yield was poor. An
average of about go persons would
have applied for the positions dur
ing prewar years, it was pointed out.

Liquor Trade Holds Up
Plan 10 Return Stores
To prewar Schedule

A plan to return to prewar hours
for liquor sales was halted today
by the District Commissioners under
pressure by the liquor trade.
The change, approved today, was
ordered held in allegiance after a
conference between the city heads
and four representatives of retail
and wholesale dealers.
The order authorized liquor stores
to be open for business from 8 am.
to midnight six days week. In the
war this had been changed 10 am.
to 9 pm. five days a week, and
10 am. to midnight on Saturdays.
Those attending the conference
from the liquor trade included F.
Joseph Donohue, attorney for Milton
S. Kronheim, wholesaler; Jerome B..
Mckee of the District Retail Liquor
Dealers Association; Sam Brisker
of the Star Liquor Store, and Ben
Rose of Roses Liquor Store.
Details of the discussion were not
disclosed, but in a letter submitted
earlier to the commissioners, Mr..
Mckee limited that the reversion to
prewar hours might antagonize the
public toward the industry.
Commissioner Guy Mason told re-
porters he would ask the Federation
of Citizens Association for an opin-
ion before the matter is decided.
The Commissioners call for pre-
war hours Tuesday reversed a rec
ommendation by the Alcoholic Bev-
erage Control Board for the con-
tinuance Of the wartime schedule.
After repeal of prohibition the
liquor business here maintained
hours Of 8 am. to 8 pm. In 1894
this was twice changed, first from 8
am. to 10 pm. and later from 8 am.
to midnight. In 1941 q return to 8
am. to 10 pm. was ordered which
two years later was amended to the
wartime schedule.
Midnight closing on Saturdays
was constant throughout the entire
period

How was the unfortunate bandit
to know that Mr. Schulman had
no gun? He simply turned and fled.
Last night, the Schulmans were
confronted by two assailants, one
of whom was armed. They ordered
Mr.. Schulman to lie on the floor
and directed his wife and a GUS
toner to do likewise. while they
rifled the cash register.
But Mrs. Schulman refused to
comply She screamed to her 90
year-old daughter, who was out of
the gunmen's sight in the dining
room:
Jessie, phone the police!"
Although the store contains a
phone, the Schulman living quar-
tiers did not. The bandits didn't
wait to find out, however, and after
they fed police were. notified on

advice when they got in a JAM"
