WAAsks Approval 10 Fly
Atlantic Minus Naviqators
By the A.,oeia,ed Pres,

NEW YORK. July 1S.-The
strike-crippled Trans World Air
lines today asked the Civil
Aeronautics Authority for per-
mission to fly the transatlantic
run without special navigators.
TWA, whose overseas flights
have been cut IS per cent by a
walkout of navigators, said two
experim en- tai no-passengers
flights without nevigators have
been completed successfully.
The CAA observers were along
on the trial flights from Idle
wild Airport to Scotland and re-
turn.
Most overseas airlines use a
combination pilot-navigator as
a second or third officer. TWA
is repeatedly the last major air
line still employing an officer
solely as a navigator.
The navigators' strike by
members of the CIO Transport
Workers Union started last week
when the TWA removed navi-
gators from its Paris Rome
flights.

.cityHeads Criticize
1-Way Proposal for
10Th and 18th Streets

While the matter was not
brought to a vote, the District
Commissioners today indicated
that. the proposal to convert
Twelfth street NV. one-way
north and Tenth street NV.
one-way south will be turned
down when the time comes.
The proposal was made several
weeks ago by Traffic Director
George E. Keneipp to ease the
flow of traffic through the down.
town area.
Col. Giles Evans, assistant en-
gineer commissioner, recon-
mended that the one-way plan
be adopted for six-month trial
period. Commissioners F. Joseph
Donohue and Renah F. Camalier
promptly announced their op-
position. Commissioner Cana
lier said he didn't mind traffic
going one way south on Tenth
street. but he added that the
swift movement of traffic on
Twelfth street during rush hour
would be a detriment to sur
rounding merchants. CommiS-
sioner Donohue pointed out that
Twelfth street is one Of the few
arterial routes into the wharf
area Of Southwest Washington
and that traffic would be COM
plicated if Mr.. Keneipp's pro-
posal were adopted.
The city heads decided against
putting the question to a vote
when the new Engineer Com
missioner, Brig. Gen. Louis w.
Prentiss, said he wanted more
time to study the proposal. not
withstanding Mr.. Donohue's re-
port that the Engineer Commis-
sioner's predecessor. Brig. Gen.
Bernard L. Robinson. would have
voted in favor.
The Keneipp proposal would
affect the two thoroughfares in
the area between Pennsylvania
avenue and Vermont avenue.
Twelfth street already is one
way over part Of that stretch
during the evening rush hour.

8 District Agencies
Assessed $15O,000
For New Department

An assessment of nearly $780,
600 today was made upon SO
District Government agencies by
the Commissioners to finance
the six-month-old Department of
General Administration through
the end of this fiscal year,
June 80.
This was the second such as
sessment to be made in less than
four months. The last, in Sep
tember, totaled $93, 400 and was
levied against 80 agencies.
The action comes under au-
thority contained in the Reor-
ganization Act of 1852 which
established the administration
department to take over many
of the administrative functions
formerly handled by individual
Government sections.
The funds to be taken from
unexpended balances in the de-
partmental budgets may be
transferred to the administra-
ton department under the Law
since that department has taken
over certain Of the functions OF
the individual agencies.
Because of the greater size al
their appropriations, these de-
partments will be hardest hit:
