Presidents Proposal Shares
Attention With Lind
bergh Address.
HONOR WRIGHT
Exhibition Also Is Planned
In Connection With the
Conference.

WASHINGTON, Dec. tR-The
calling of an international conference
in washington next December for a
thorough discussion Of civil aviation
was suggested today by President
Coolidge in a letter to the civil
aeronautical conference in session
here.
Mr.. Coolidge recommended that an
aeronautical exhibition be held in
connection with the meeting rs a
means of increasing the interest Of
the public in the accomplishments
and possibilities Of aviation.
The message Of the president
shared attention at today's session
with an address by Colonel Charles
A. LindbeFgh The famous trans
Atlantic flier recommended the pro-
mitigation of commercial flying, regu-
Iations, and inspection and licensing
by the commerce department. Of
planes and pilots to increase the con.
fidence of the public, popularize fly
ing and develop the industry.
Pointing out that next December
will mark the 25th anniversary Of
Orville Wright's first flight in a
heavier than air machine President
Coolidge informed the conference that
he had "flad in mind that this inl-
portant anniversary might be properly
celebrated by holding here in Wash
ington an international civil aviation
conference and exhibition in con-
junction with your annual meeting. .
Assistant Secretary MacCracken of
the commerce department, VINO pre-
sided over the conference, read the
presidents letter. The communica-
ton was complete surprise and
aroused much comment and en-
thusiasm.
The conference, attended by about
300 representatives of flying concerns
schools and institutions, closed today
its five day session after discussing
commercial flying in all its aspects.
Colonel Lindbergh, in a short ad-
dress, said that despite the improve
ment in modern aviation methods, the
aeronautical industry can never be-
come truly great until it has the full
confidence of the public. In order
to gain that confidence we must
assure the user OF aircraft of both
reliable equipment and experienced
personnel for its operation.
The greatest mission that can be
accomplished by the department Of
commerce is that of guaranteeing
safety in air travel to tine public
through intelligent regulation and
guidance of. training schools, operat-
ing personnel and commercial air
craft construction"

TALKING JUROR
ENTERS TRIAL
SINCLAIR, BURNS
Kidwell Gives Statement
That He Had Been Ap-
preached in Oil Case.

WASHINGTON Dec. 9 (P)-EdWard
j. Kidwell, Jr., juror in the FallSin-
clair oil conspiracy trial who has
bobbed in and out of the limelight
since the case was declared a mlstrlal,
popped through the curtain of secrecy
again today and gave to District At
torney Gordon a statement that he
had been approached" by persons
Gordon refused to name.
Kidwell, timid and apparently
frightened at the unusual publicity
surrounding him, was charged in af-
fidavits filed prior to the mistrial with
talking freely about the oil case and
with having said he expected an auto
mobile "as long as this block" when
the trial was over. Since the mistrial,
except for occasions when he sought
to get his denial of the affivadftS be-
fore Justice Frederick l.. Siddons in
, the supreme court, the juror has been
nearly forgotten
Every day this week ne has come
| silently into the court room where
criminal contempt proceedings against
Harry F. Sinclair, the Oil man, William
| j. Burns and their associates, were
being heard by Justice SiddonS. Ar
irving just before court convened, he
usually slipped into a seat near the
door, where he would be nittle noticed
4 When Assistant District Attorney
Burkinshaw told him yesterday that
; he would not be called as a witness in
/ the contempt proceedings for a few
days, he asked if Burkinshaw would
be willing to let him make further
i statement.
Arriving at Burkinshaw's office at
o'clock this morning, he was closetet
with the assistant and a stenographel
until shortly after noon, when ne was
taken into the private office of DIS
trict Attorney Gordon. Gordon char
acterized his statement as highly I'M
portant and refused to divulge Wha
the juror had told.
BurkinshaW said that intimatlon
made earlier in the day that offers 0
a bribe might have reached the juro
through some persons were not born
out by Kidwell's statement. It ha
been ascertained, however, that KID
well had described how he was shad
owed and approached by persons h
did not know at the time.
The district attorneys office wa
emphatic in saying that while Kidwe
had not said he was directly offere
money, his statement would have a
important bearing on the contemI
case and that the former juror, VII
two weeks ago was urging that he
made a party to the criminal conteml
proceedings, now would become one
