Two NACA Men
Receive Medals

The National Advisory Com
mittee for Aeronautics tNACA)
has given distinguished service
medals to two employees who re-
moved the unconscious pilot from
the X-IA last year after that
experimental plane was wrecked
by an explosion.
The medals for Outstanding
bravery beyond the call of duty
were awarded yesterday to John
w. Noise and Charles w. Little
ton of the NACA high speed
fight station. Edwards, Calf.
Mr.. Noise and Mr.. Littleton
were in a B-29 mother plane
which took the X-IA to $1,000
feet on August 8, 1855 and was
preparing to loose it for a test
flight. Seventy seconds before
the scheduled drop there was an
explosion in the X-IA. This
wrecked the oxygen supply for
the X-IA's pilot, Joseph A.
Walker, and he quickly became
unconscious.
Mr.. Noise and Mr.. Littleton
went through the bomb bay of
the Bog onto the X-1A and re-
moved Mr.. Walker.
! NACA gave an exceptional
service award" to Mr.. Walker
who, after he was removed to
! the B-29 and recovered con-
seriousness. returned to the x-1A
and sought unsuccessfully to
dump fuel which it was feared
might explode momentarily."
/ Exceptional service awards also
were made to Stanley P. Butch
art, pilot of the B-29. and Rich
ard E. Payne. crew chief of the
IX-1A.
| Letters of commentator were
given John B. Mckay. co-pilot
of the Bog, and three members
of its crew: Rex L. Cook. Merle
C. Woods and Richard A. De-
more.

Court Considers
Taxi Limitation

Judge F. Dickinson Let's took
under advisement yesterday the
question of whether the Public
Utilities Commission, under pres
Ient law. has the power to limit
the number Of taxicabs operating
i'm the District.
The issue came up in the q. s.
District Court for the District
of Columbia in the form of mo-
tons argued on a suit fled last
February by the Associated Taxi
cab Operators, Inc, against the
Public Utilities Commission.
Court Order Sought
The taxicab group seeks a
court order to declare the COM
mission has the power to limit
the number of taxicabs. The
complaint is in the form Of. an
appeal from a ruling by the
commission that it does not have
any such authority.
Attorney James Shenos, rep
resenting the Associated Taxicab
Operators, argued that, under
the law creating the Public IT'LL
tiles Commission, the commission
has the power to set zones ana
rates and has the implied power
to limit the number of taxicabs.
He argued that, in any event, it
has the power to freeze the
number of taxicabs at the pres
ent number by not approving
any additional taxicabs.
Authority Disputed
Assistant Corporation Counsel
Lloyd B. Harrison argued that
the commission under present
law does not have any power
to limit the number Of taxicabs
or to refuse to approve addi-
tional ones.
Mr.. Shenos said the Associ-
ated Taxicab Operators repre-
sents owners Of some 5000 taxi
cabs. SO companies and 10 aSso-
Citations.
Mr.. Shenos argued there are
so many taxicabS on the street
that they "are detrimental to
themselves and detrimental to
the public. 1.-THE number al
lowed to operate should be de-
termined at a public hearing. he
suggested.

fairly well as a salesman, we own
our own home with a small mort
gage. we have a few shares OF
stock and balance in the bank
My husband. however. is terribly
dissatisfied and thinks ! ought
to learn an occupation.
He doesn't seem to understand
that we can't afford it. He
doesn't begin to realize how much

shopping and our house manag-
ing carefully and thrifty. He
suggests that I take some train.
ing but he little realizes how
much of my time it takes tc
manage our house with practi.
cally no help and to provide oc.
casional parties for our children
just can't understand his
harping on this subject because
we are still young and in a few
years our burdens will decrease
and I may then have time for
other interests. He wants to
tear me in two just when the
house and family demand more
of me than ever before.
Mr.. T. w. B.-I grew UP in
the home of my widowed mother
who was helpless, and I had. to

and skill seems unfounded. A
woman who can manage a good
home. a social life for her chill
dren and savings, all out of a
meager salary, is not unskilled
She would probably be useful
in some business. as a sales
woman, or in such fields as COM
sumner research.
If she knew of her husband
fears and anxieties, she would
be better able to plan for her
children as well as her husband
and herself. She might succeed
in effecting simplificatiors in
their home that would give him
more reinsurance and relaxation,
and thereby make his high blood
pressure less of q threat.
This man may be driving him
self to the grave by keeping all
the anxiety to himself. He
should share this burden with
his wife who. in turn. might
give the children an interest in
giving their family the utmost
in cooperation.
He is over-impressed by recol-
lections of the hardships of his
own childhood. His family is
past the danger. considering the
ages of the children and the ap-
parent competence of the wife
as manager. Most of this mans
trouble is of his own making. He
should talk it out.
