The technical reasons for the failure of nine Army bombardment planes -to sink the steamship Mount Shasta in recent bombing tests off the Virginia Capes will be sought by a board of offi- cers named by the War Department at the request of Maj. Gen. James E. Fechet, chief of the Army Air Corps. There is no question of personnel effi+ ciency involved, it was explained. Gen. Fechet asked that the board include one of the brigadier generals of the Air Corps and an officer of the general staff, Other officers will be named by Maj. Gen. Charles H. Bridges, the adjutant general Appointment of the board was described by general staff officers as routine procedure. The board is ex- pected 1o recommend any changes in bombing policy which may be consid- ered necessary. The Mount Shasta was taking water due to damage from the bombardment before shells fired by a Coast Guard cutter finally removed it as a menace to navigation: Preliminary data sub- mitted to the board show that a con- tributing factor in the failure of near | hits to more severcly damage the ves- sel by concussion was due to the fact she was unloaded and able to yield | more elastically to the effect of the ex- plosions than if she had been loaded. Another factor was said to have been the use of light bombs as an economical measure rather than the heavier types which normally would bave been em- | ployed.

Goldsborough, who lives at 761 I street southeast, lost his balance when he attenipted to reach a spot over his head with his brush. The house on which he was working was vacant.

Pole, president, declercd ti | morning, to consider whether that a | sociation will undertake to lend its s | port to the Columbia Heights Citizens' | Association in its fight against the transfer. Mr. Cole said that his asso- ciation had adopted a resolution iwo vears ago. in which it requested the School Board to retain the Monroe | School as an institution for white pupils as long as it could be done without transferring pupils from the Park Virw School to build up Monroe's waning classes. . Old Battle Recalled. ‘The present fight of the Columbia Heights Citizens against the transfer jof Monroe School recells the bitter battie waged successfully by the Park | View citizens two years ago against the school authorities’ efforts to transfer | some children from the Park View to the Monroe School. At that time school administration officers asserted, the definite boundaries marking the respec- tive territories of the two schools had not been adhered to, and many children | whose residences were within Monroe's territory were attending Park View | School. Efforts of the school authori- ties to order these childen to Monroe, however, resulted in a “strike” by par- ents, who refused to send their ehildren to any school other than Park View. At that time it was forecast that the declining classes at Monroe would re- suil in the ultimate closing of that | building to white children. School of- | ficials then said they could retain both | schools in the white division only if the congestion which in 1929 marked the Park View School would be relieved by transferring some of the surplus chil- dren to Monroe, but at that time also efforts were being made to secure two | additions to the Park View School to | care for the large enroliment.

This year, neither the Army nor the Navy will engage in any form of competitive flying at the National Air Races. There is a feeling in naval cir- cles in favor of reducing still further the amount of racing done by Navy pilots. The Curtiss Trophy, won last year by the late Capt.
