Commissioners. ‘The official satus of the Public Utili- | ties Commission as subordinate, in part, to the District Commissioners was es- [tablished definitely for the first time yesterday by Controller General J. R. McCarl, who handed down a double- edged opinion denying at the same time a $1,500 salary increase to the two ap- pointed members of the commission and people’s counsel. McCarl held that utilities commis- sioners are not in the classified service, and furthermore ruled that if they are now to be classified so as to take ad- vantage of the pay increase under the ‘Welch act, such action must be brought through the action of the District Com- missioners and the personnel of the Classification Board. The salaries in question are $7,500 and would have been raised to $9.000 had they been considered as falling within the classification service. Those affected by it are Chairman John W. Childress, Col. Harrison Brand, jr., the two appointed members, and Ralph B. Fleharty, people’s counsel. The particular sting in_the denial of the salary increase may be partly laid at the door of Brand and Fieharty. As attorneys both of them studied the Welch act and determined not to join with the District Commissioners in be- ing classified or permit themselves to be put in the classified list. Had they agreed upon that course, they -would now be enjoying the same salary in- crease as the District Commissioners received. Col. William B. La Due, Engineer Commissioner, also is a member of the commission, but his salary is not affected by the controller general's opinion. The difference between his pay and the salary of a Commissioner is paid out of the funds of the District Government. The controller general's ruling was handed down in response to a letter from Chairman Childress inquiring as to what effect the Welch act had on the salaries of the two appointed mem- bers of the commission and people’s counsel. Quoting a line of, decisions, the con- troller general said that they held in effect that “if positions in the District of Columbia, the rates of compensation of which had heretofore been specific- ally fixed by other law, had not been allocated under the original classifica- | tion act prior to July 1, 1928, the auto- matic provisions of the Welch act were not for application on July 1, 1928, for the obvious reason that there was no grade determined on which the auto- matic provisions might operate.” Will Rogers NEW YORK—I think some of these crooks are getting killed to show they can have a bigger and finer funeral than their rival had.

Experimental Bureau May Become Regular Fixture, Says Observer. A model aviation weather service, by which a 24-hour check is kept on mete- orological conditions which affect fly- ing and warnings can be sent out at a moment’s notice is being maintained on the air mail route between Los Angeles and San Francisco, according to the report brought to Washington this week by Maj. Edward H. Bowie, senior mete- orologist of the Weather Bureau, in charge of the California office. Maj. Bowie, who was for 15 years supervising forecaster at Washington, is conducting this service as an experi- ment, but he predicts that the time is near at hand when it will be necessary for the Government to carry on such intensive forecasting on all the air mail routes and eventually all over the country. Printer Service. Indirectly this will mean not only closer weather forecasting for air pilots but for everybody, since it involves a more intensive check on conditions bringing about changes in the weather than ever before has been carried on in this country. The California experi- ment is financed partly by the Guggen- heim Foundation, and is being con- ducted jointly by that organization, the ‘Weather Bureau and the Pacific Tele- phone Co. * A printer telegraph service operates continuously, with branch printers at all the air ports. Continuous check is kept on visibility, wind direction, wind speed, height of clouds and fog levels. Forecasts can be prepared almost in- stantly. Ordinarily they are sent out MAJ. EDWARD H. BOWIE. every 90 minutes, but this is only in case there are no anticipated changes. Knows Route Ahead. In this way, Maj. Bowie says, there is almost no possibility of a pilot start- ing out in fine weather and running into rough weather without warning. During every minute of the flight he knows what to expect just ahead. Such an intensive service, Maj. Bowie says, will be essential all over the country before aviation will appeal to the people as entirely reliable and safe. Since it has been established over the California route three well patronized passenger services have been estab- lished and have not encountered a sin- gle accident. A somewhat similar service, Maj. Bowie sald, now is maintained over some of the European air routes, and explains the greater confidence felt in air transport there. COLORED G. 0. P.

BUCHAREST, Rumania, September 15 (#)—The newspaper, Adeverul yes- terday sald that Blair & Co. of New York had suddenly withdrawn a loan of $20,000,000 to Rumania authorized by Parliament.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 19767 CAPPER RETURNS 10 STUDY MERGER District Committee Head Repeats Stand Against Fare Increase. Senator Capper of Kansas, chairman of the Senate District committee, who has been in New York for the past 10 days, returned to the District today for a short stay for the twofold purpose of giving further attention to the street railway merger study and also to attend a meeting of the Republican senatorial campaign committee. Chairman_Capper_indicated that he has been following developments in the street car rate hearing now in progress before the Public Utilitles Commission, and reiterated his opinion against an increase in carfare. The Senator said he felt that People’s Counsel Ralph B. Fleharty was justified in opposing the pending application. Senator Capper will confer on Mon- day or Tuesday with Dr. Milo R. Malt- bie, the expert who is inquiring into the merger proposal of the local companies for the Senate committee. Dr. Maltbie at that conference will make a prelimi- nary report to the chairman, but Sena- tor Capper said he does not expect to make this preliminary report public at this time. He will forward it to the other members of the Senate subcom- mittee for their information, while Dr. Maltbie goes on with his study of the problem in order-to prepare a final and complete report when the subcommittee gets together in November. . “ THE BISHOP” BURIED.
