While discussing the, efforts to
bring about the reopening of the
Tidal Basin yesterday afternoon Presi-
dent Coolidge is represented as having
said that he believed the people of
this city should have this public
accommodation. During this conver
sation the President reminded his
callers that the fact that he is a
supporter of the idea of maintaining
a public bathing resort at the Tidal
Basin was made very evident last
year when he recommended to Con
gress, through the Budget Bureau,
the appropriation of sufficient
amount of money to provide for the
maintenance of necessary bathing
beaches, but that his suggestion was
thrown out when some one in the
Senate arose and moved that the
bathing beach be discontinued.
The President is known to have
been deeply concerned about the
safety and welfare of the public of
this city during the very recent long
heat wave, especially regarding the
welfare of the many thousands of
employees of the Federal Government,
for whom he feels responsible, mas

Offer to Fly Langley Plane Is Hit
By Wright as Erosion of Issue
Declares Manly's Challenge Is admission of Charges
of ''Frm,duIent Nature of SoCaIied Tests
of Craft at Han1mondsport in 1914.

The evident purpose of the chal-
lenge which Mr.. Manly has announced
in the press is 10 draw attention from
the real issues of the controversy be
tween DR.. Walcott and myself. Those
ISSUES are the charges which ! have
made that the Smithsonian Institu-
ton is not a safe repository for his
toric relics.
THE issues of this controversy do
not relate to events of the future but
to events of the past. I therefore
see no reason for introducing dis
cussion Of future experiments into a
discussion which has to do only with
experiments of the past. This pro
posal to do so can only be taken as
an admission of the truth of my
charges as TO the fraudulent nature
of the so-called tests OF the Langley
machine at HammOndsport in 1914"

Request for Permitting Po-

and DOff Coats.

A proposal that traffic policemen be

was laid before the Police Department

sociation.
In a letter from Ernest N Smith,
general manager, the association Of
fers 10 contribute $3.50 Immediately
for the purchase of the blouses in case
no appropriation for the purpose is
available.
Cites Benefits of Change.
Mr.. Smith pointed out that this
change would add greatly TO the COM
fort of men directing traffic in the
broiling sun, with an accompanying
improvement in morale and efficiency
The traffic police of this city are a
mighty fine set of men, who have to
operate under conditions that must
try their spirit very sorely during a
hot spell" wrote Mr. Smith II have
often wondered how these men could
stay on duty standing on top of a
hot oven for hours at time, because
our streets for some time past have
been little less than hot ovens"
Granted in Other Cities.
Mr. Smith said he had just returned
from touI ol CitleS dIoHS lfe Al
lantic Coast and observed that in a
number of them the traffic officers are
permitted to substitute a uniform
blouse for coats.
Recently Acting Superintendent of
Police Evans issued two orders, one
permitting policemen TO open their
coats and the other allowing traffic
officers to leave their posts for 10
minute intervals throughout the day
in hot weather to seek relief in the
shade.
