a three-year course in warship

guards selection as Professor of
Naval Construction at the Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology
in 1901.
During World War I, Hovgaard
submitted to the U. S. Navy nearly
100 technical memoranda and his
work was used extensively in the
design of pressure hulls for SUBJ
marines.
Professor Hovgaard retired from
his post at NIT in 1884 with the
title. of Professor Emeritus and
moved to Brooklyn, where he en-
gagged in consulting work on spe-
cial projects for the Navy and
Tor private concerns.
In World War II, Hovgaard,
still active at So, was a consultant
for the Navy and Gibbs & Cox.
Inc, New York, who prepared
many designs for the Navy. Some
of the principal subjects treated
include General and Structural
Design of Destroyers." Cruisers
and Escort Vessels" stability
and Turning of Destroyers, and
an extensive investigation and
mathematical treatment of the
stresses in high pressure steam
piping.
In addition to his newly acquir-

In accepting the Foundations
award, the nonagenarian recalled
his early impressions of America
when he became a professor at
NIT.
MY students were much young
er than l." Hovgaard said. but
from the very beginning I felt as
if I was among a group of young
er comrades"
Chiefly through my relations
with the students, l discovered
soon a specific trait of character
which I shall describe briefly, al
though imperfectly, as generous
tolerance and friendly helpful
ness"
This trait is not, believe,
generally recognized as something
specifically American, although it
pervades American life in many
various forms.
II observed it in the hospitality
and helpfuiness to foreigners, in
a general spirit of cooperation and
teamwork and in a strong wide
spread humanitarianism. 1t finds
expression in many special fea-
lures as, for instance, in the beau
tiful American domestic life"

Russia's demand for control o1
all commercial air transport tC
Berlin appeared early today tc
be a far greater price than the
Western powers are willing to
pay to get the Soviet blockade
of Berlin lifted.
This was the outstanding point
seen by authorities here in the Mos
COW radio broadcast of the Soviet
version of how the Berlin crisis
came about and the points of diff
ference.
State Department officials after q
preliminary consideration OF the
Moscow statement refused any i'm
mediate comment.
It seemed certain that the state.
ment would be considered by tor
officials of the United States, Brit
ain and France in Paris today.
1t was regarded as significant here
that the Russians led off their list
of points by declaring their insist
ence on absolute control of all land
water and air transport into Berlin
This is a right which in the view
of the Western governments the So.
viets do not now have and If they
gained it they would have the lega.
power to shut off the airlift by
which the American and British aii
forces have been able to overcome
the blockade.
Thus in the future the Russians
would be in position to impose a
far more effective blockade than is
now in effect.

About one of every three families
in the Washington Metropolitan
District had an income OF $4,000 or
more in l947,, the Census Bureau
reported yesterday.
The average income OF Wash
ington families was $4,000. This
was $500 less than the average in
come of $4,000 received by families
living in the Maryland and Vir-
ginia parts of the Metropolitan
District. The Census Bureau de-
fines the metropolitan district as
the District of Columbia and Prince
Georges and Montgomery Counties
in Maryland, and Fairfax and
Arlington Counties in Virginia, and
Alexandra.
The bureau reported that one
half of the families living in the
entire area had an income OF
81, 200 or more. About the same
proportion of individuals, usually
dodgers or persons living alone, had
an income of $4,000 or more.
The average income of white fam
lilies was $4,000, nearly twice that
received by whites. White m
diyiduals not included in a family
unit received an average income OF
50 500 as compared with $1,4O0 Tor
non-whites.

owners than city families. About
40 per cent of the homes and
apartments in the entire distrlc,
were occupied by their owners. while
only 20 per cent of the Washington
homes were owner occupied.
The average monthly rental was
$50 in all parts of the Metropolitan
District. The report pointed Out
that while family income doubled
on the average between 1889 and
l947 rents increased by only ~ PEI
cent during the same period.
Persons living in Maryland and
Virginia parts Of the metropolitan
district, on the average, earned
more than those in Washington.
The average earnings ranged from
So 900 to 50, ZOO for the nearby Mary

pared with $1,000 for residents OF

Government employees had higher
average incomes than persons work
ing for private employers. For men,
the average earnings as civilian
Government employees were 5000

Decision to Agree or End Par|eys
Put F|at|y Up to Western Powers
Reds Price for Lifting Siege
Far High, Officials Here Say
Moscow Seen Trying to Get Air Route Rule
To Throttle Future Supply Line to City

Quite contrary to Russia's demand
on this point, the Western powers
have contended since the start of
the crisis that they have full legal
right of access to Berlin and that
Russia is acting illegally in main
tanning the blockade.
Moreover, in all the negotiations
in Moscow the West has insisted
on this right and demanded that
the blockade be lifted before there
is any negotiation on outstanding
German issues other than the spe-
cif1c problem of currency in Berlin.
In connection with the currency
issue the Russians stated the second
of their three points in such a way
as to suggest that they may be un-
willing to agree to the kind of real
four r-power control over Berlin cur
rency which the Western nations
want.
The three Western powers are
understood to have declared their
willingness to let Soviet currency
be used exclusively in the city but
only on condition that it be fully
controlled by joint four-power ac-
ton.
In their statement last night the
Russians said they could not permit
any control system which would in
effect allow the Western powers to
interfere in currency operations in
the Soviet zone as a whole.
Russia's third point, an express
sion of readiness to agree to four
power control over Berlin trade, ap-
peared on brief consideration here
to be a relatively minor concession
in comparison with the demand for
full power over all transport.
