A guinea pig" student pilot VINO
has taken all his instruction at night
is expected to make his first solo
fight this week.
Arthur I. Mosier, after his recent
discharge from the Army at Fort
Belvoir as a warrant officer, applied
for flight training under the CT bill,
He enrolled at the Ashburn Flying
Service, Hybla Valley Airport, near
Alexandria.
What Mr.. Mosier. a veteran of the
India theater, did not know was
that he was going to do his flying
when fellow pupils were relaxing at
home, taking in movie, or visiting
with the boys in the back room.
He agreed to be a guinea pig for
the instructors at the field who had
just decided to experiment with
night instruction.
In the past, night flying has been

Charter Board Asked
About Limitation on
Council Legislation

The question whether it is possible
to draft a constitutional charter
under which the county council
could pass laws more than one
month a year was raised again last
night in Montgomery County.
]. Bond Smith, attorney for the
Maryland National Capital Park
and Planning Commission, raised
the issue in a letter to members OF
the board now drafting a charter
He said:
1.-THE fundamental defect in any
county charter . is the constitu-
tional prohibition which prevents
the county council from exercising
any legislative functions except dur
ing one month in IL.
"It has seemed to me and to other
members of the bar that this man.
datory requirement, which the Con-
stitution itself requires to be incor-
porated in any county charter, elm
mates such a charter as an effective
vehicle of county government"
Mr.. Smith said he wrote to the
board as a private citizen and not in
his official capacity. Howard p
Bailey, board secretary, said the
letter had been received and would
be considered by the board.
Mr.. Smith, in his communication
cited a letter written in 1943 to the
former county charter board, headed
oy Frederic P. Lee, in which he raised
the same issue.
"I respectfully suggest" said Mr.
Smiths latest letter to the board
that before presenting another
charter to the voters, it Is the duty
of your board to give full and serious
consideration to the question OF
whether the instrument would not In
any event be fatally and incurably
defective for the reasons which
thaye suggested" !"

Student Pilot, Taught at Night,
Due for First Solo 7 his Week

only by students Tor commercial
license.
According to Fred Birchnall, Mr.
Mosier's instructor, the experiment
was undertaken for two reasons: To
make provision for students who
cannot get away from their work
during the day, and to demonstrate
that night flying, when the air. Is
smoother, is more pleasant than
daytime flying.
So far, he says, his guinea pig
has shown great aptitude. If he
solos this week, it will be- after 9
or 8 hours of instruction-about the
same time required to a daytime
pupil.
Mr.. Mosier made his first fight
as passenger on a C-47 IN India
The landing gear became stuck and
the plane had to make belly land
ing that shook up the passengers.
The incident inspired Mr.. Mosier

|HyattsviI|e Meeting
Called Thursday 10
Protest Bus Reroutinq

A mass meeting of citizens Of the
Hyattsville area to press the fight
for restoration of direct Capital
Transit bus service to downtown
Washington has been called for
I8 pm. Thursday. at the Hyattsville
High School by the Citizens Trans
portation Committee.
The committee, of which Arthur
H. Koonce, 4003 Oglethorpe street,
Hyattsville, is chairman, has been
campaigning since early December
against the routing of buses into
the Mount Rainier terminal where
changes are necessary to continue
into Washington.
The committee has filed with the
Maryland Public Service Commis-
sion petitions bearing 1,461 sigma
lures of persons protesting the dis
continuance of direct service from
College Park and Riverdale, via
Hyattsville, TO Ninth street and Con-
stitution avenue NV, which had
|served the residential sections ot
that area for many years.
In place of the. former direct serv.

lt11e Ao-c61]ed master PLAN, Of ths
FC6urlty Independent Trade Associa.
tion. The Maryland Public Service
Commission later extended the trial
Iperiod until March 1.
Will Consider Strong Protest.
The mass meeting Thursday night
will consider making strong pro-
test to the PSC against what the
Citizens Committee describes as the
great inconvenience of the rerouting
into the Mount Rainier terminal
where changes must be made to
other buses or the streetcar line.
The committee says that many
transit patrons report their travel
time to downtown Washington has
been heightened by 10 to Is minutes
per trip. The committee also con-
tends that the Mount Rainier termi-
nal Is traffic hazard.
Also to come up at the meeting
is the Prince Georges County Civic
Federation,s counter-proposal to the
Independent Trade Association's s
plan. This counter proposal was
filed with the PSC on April 20, 1916,
but no official action has been taken
by the commission. The federation's s
proposal provides for direct service
to washington from the suburban
communities and also for a cross
line linking the various bus and car
lines to speed up transportation
within the county.
Counter Proposal to Be Given.
Walter F. Mulligan, president of
the federation, has been invited to
present the counter proposal at the
meeting. Speakers who have assured
they will attend to help explain the
proposed routing are Arthur w.
Brunei, Riverdale councilman, who
has long been active in the fight for
improved transportation: Louis A.
Day, chairman of the Public Util-
tiles Committee of the federation,
and G. D. Anderson, who was for
many years secretary of the County
Chamber Of Commerce.
Meanwhile. the Civic Federation
also is scheduled to hold its regular
monthly meeting at the same hour
in the County Service Building,
Hyattsyille. Similar action protest.
ing the present system of trans
portation also may be taken at this
meeting, according to Mr.. Day.

REINSTATEMENT OF
VETERANS

The 93,648 veterans in Cuya-

their G. I. insurance valued at
approximately one billion dol
lars to lapse, have a second
chance at easy reinstatement
without a medical examination
under the terms of the legisla-
ton signed recently by Presi-
dent Truman, it was pointed out
today by Lee H. Tucker, region
al insurance director for the Vet
erans Administration.
The new law extends the
deadline for reinstatement with
out medical examination from
February 1 to August 1, 1947.
Two monthly premiums and a
statement certifying that the

health Of the applicant IS as good
as when his or her policy sNent
out of benefit are the only re-
auirements for reinstatement Of
a lapsed National Service Life
Insurance term policy. i
Several improvements in the
NSLI program were made pos.
sible by the new legislation,
Tucker said. Chances include:
1. Under the new law a vet
eran may obtain any permanent
NSLI plan from the VA with
out the necessity of previously
holding term insurance. How
ever, a physical examination is
required under such circum-
stances just as in the case of
new commercial insur rance
policy.
2. The new act also provides
in certain cases for automatic
conversion of term insurance to
a permanent plan for policy
holders who are totally dis
abled. This is possible in cases
where the premium on term in
surance is waived to the end of
the term and total and perma-
nent disability still exists. Then
the policy is automatically con-
verted to ordinary life although
20 and 30-pay plans are avail
able if requested. &
