moved that unit from Quantico to

His residence in Washington was

Opposed First Merger Plan.
Gen. Geiger was severe critic
of the original proposal to merge
the armed services. Appearing be-
fore the Senate Military Affairs
Committee in December, l945, he
charged the merger plan ignored
the, new principles and ideas gained
from the war.
He was born in Middleburg, Fla.
on January IS. 1885. After receiy-
ing his bachelors degree in law
from the John B. Stetson University
In De Land, Fla, in 1907, he Joined
the Marines as a private. Two years
later, on February S, 1909, he was
commissioned a second lieutenant

day it would cost far more"
The two officials also pointed out
that Fort drive is not part of the
comprehensive highway program for
the District recently presented to
the Commissioners by Highway
Director H. C. Whitehurst. This pro-
gram was developed by the High
way Department with the advice
of outside engineering consultants
and it is scheduled to exhaust all
expected revenues in sight for the
highway fund for the next eight
years.
Still other categories Of the COM
prehensiye plan go still further into
the future and would also be very
costly, it was added.
Fort drive, in our opinion" they
said. never will be built because
there is no need for it and there
will be no money for it."
Referring to the fact that the
Highway Department consultants
found Fort drive had no bearing on
the Districts traffic problems. the
officials asked: .
as it likely that we will live to
see project built which would
absorb every cent of the Districts
available highway funds for a de-
caoe and contribute nothing what
soever to solving our urgent traffic

To Submit Proposals.
Both Democratic and Republican
members of the committee have
shown a great deaf OF interest in
the hearings so far. Those who have
taken the lead in determining where
and how much the Government can
cut its personnel and still maintain
efficient operation are Senators
Baldwin of Connecticut, Thye of
Minnesota, Ecton of Montana and
Langer, all Republicans. Democrats
showing keen interest in the prob
lem at the hearings are Senators
O'Conor OF Maryland, Chavez of
New Mexico, Umstead of North Car

some remedial action in connection
with privately owned tax-exempt
land. Abandonment of the Fort
drive was suggested as good start
ing point.
Fort drive, according to the re-
port, was conceived as a boulevard
around the outer fringes of the city,
probably modelled after similar
pleasure boulevards developed in
some European cities in the 10Th
century,"
TT may have made some sense
from the viewpoint of so years ago, y
the officials declared. 1T makes no
sense today"
As planned, the report continued,
tine drive would be approximately
211a miles long with no grade inter-
sections. It's proposed route passes
through the center of built-up hous-
ing developments in many parts of
the city and intersects many streets.
This would require expensive sepa-
rations, the report declared.

unless in unusual cases Of emer-
gency.
MI. Wright told the committee
that the CAA with its 12,600 en-
ployes has the major responsibility
for the maintenance OF safety stand
ards in civil aviation. He re-empha-
sized that despite public alarm and
the recent series Of crashes, Amer
ican commercial air lines still are
from three to twenty times as safe
as any in the world.
Members of the committee plan to
visit the Naval Air Station at Patux-
ent. Md, Saturday to learn more
about why military flying seems so
far ahead of civilian aviation in the
use of aids to all-weather neviga-
ton and landings.
Civil Aeronautics Board Chair
man James M. Lands, who occupied
the stand during the whole Of yes
terday's opening session, said he be-
lieved future air safety lies more In
chronological research and develop
ment than in the field of regulation
and enforcement. Asked by Repre-
sentative Hinshaw, Republican of
California, who has the response
bility for recommending to Congress
the adoption of new devices like
ground controlled approach radar,
instrument landing systems and
fog dispersal units, Mr.. Lands re-
Piled:
"I don't want to duck anything,
but I think it would be the respon-.
sibility of the Civil Aeronautics Ad-
ministration." This agency, headed
| by Mr.. Wright, has the duty of
maintenance and improvement of
Federal airways services and en-,
forcement of the CABS regulations.
| Dissatisfied With Radar Use.
Several committee members, dur
ing their questioning of Mr.. Lands,
expressed dissatisfaction with the
progress being made to adopt war
developed radar and other devices to
civilian use.
A complaint that a pilot said to
be an epileptic had been granted
Federal license to fly passengers was
brought up at the hearing by Rep
resentative Miller, Republican, of
Connecticut, who added he could
not discuss the case in public.
Mr. Miller later told reporters,
however, that attempts in his State
to have the pilots license revoked
so far had proved unsuccessful. He
added the flyer had license to
carry passengers but not airline pas
sengers. Mr.. Miller did not iden-
| tify the pilot.

has been brought out in the legal
thus far.
AS things now stand, the brief
declared:
ut is submitted that If the find
ings of this court, based upon the
evidence, do not disclose periods OF
preliminary activity of longer dura-
ton than those appearing in the
present record, the de ninimis rule
would be applicable and therefore,
the action should be dismissed"
tThe de minimis rule means liter
ally. "the law does not concern
itself with trifles.''}
Acted as Friend Of Court"
The Justice Department intervened
in the case as friend of the court. u
This is a legal proceeding whereby
q party with an indirect interest is
sometimes allowed to be heard in a
case not involving him directly
Testimony before congressional
committees has been that the Gov
ernment's indirect interest, through
effects of the ruling on other cases
may run into billions of dollars in
taxes and in revision of war contract
terms.
The department said the Supreme
Court left to the district court
(Judge Picard the decision as to
whether any of the talking and
"make-ready" activities involves q
substantial measure of time" and
added:
In making its findings on this
question the court should take into
account not only the percentage re-
1ationship that a particular period
of preliminary activity bears to the
work week or the work day. but also
the effect Of the decision in view of
the realities of the industrial world.
THE evidence appearing in the
record before the Supreme Court
suggests that each period devoted
to preliminary activities by the
claimants may properly be regarded
as within the de minimis rule.
=. More Evidence Suggested.
However, that record may be re-
garded as inadequate to disclose
all factors necessary to the courts
decision. 1t is suggested that ex-
ecution of the mandate would war
rant the taking of additional evil
dence in order to make the spe-
cific findings directed by the Su-
preme Court"
The department said no period
of walking or "make-ready" time
disclosed in the record of the case
was Of sufficient duration to be
as substantial"
sElaborating on this point, the
brief noted that the Supreme Court
decision requires the determina-
tion Of the amount of walking time
involved and the amount of make
ready activities performed, giving
due consideration of the de mini
mis- doctrine" Then it added:
That doctrine, in view of the
pertinent cases, both ancient and
modern, requires the courts to take
account not only of the relative
amount or value in controversy be-

daughter on his lap.
Despite fascinating side issues, the
committee plowed through reams
of testimony on the profits the Cars
sons and their interlocking firms de-
rived from 7s,o00,0 in war con-
tracts.
+ Major concerns in which the
Garssons were interested were Erie
Basin Metal Products, Inc, of Elgin,
ILL.,; the Batavia Metal Products,
Inc, Batavia, ILL.,, and the Inter-
