CHANGES LANGLEY
AERODROME LABEL
Smithsonian Again Invites
0rviIIe Wright to Bring
Original Plane.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Smithsonian Institution has
changed the label, on the Langley
aerodrome and again invited Orville
Wright to deposit the original Kitty
Hawk airplane in the institutions
museum.
Charles c. Abbott, secretary of the
institution, in a statement made public
today, reviewed the long controversy be-
tween the WrightS and the institution
over the labels on the Langley plane
and said that as a gesture of good
will. he had directed that the label
be so modified as to tell nothing but
the facts without additions of opinion
as to the accomplishments of Langley"
The label now reads:
Langley Aerodrome. r - -.
The original Samuel Pierpont Lang
ley flying machine of 1908. restored.
Deposited by the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition"
The label to which the Wrights OBJ
jected said:
Langley Flying Machine. THE
original Langley flying machine of 1908,
restored. In the opinion of many COM
petent' to judge, this machine was the
first heavier tnan-air craft in the his
tory of the world capable of sustained
free flight under its own power, carry
ing man \"
Orville Wright, whose objection TO
the label was so positive that he sent
the original Kitty Hawk machine to
The British museum, maintained that
The Langley plape was not flown until
1914. and then only after alterations
were made.
Declaring that since his election as
secretary in January 1923, he had
sought to end the controversy, DR..
Abbott reviewed the history of the
institutions relations with the Wright
brothers.
He listed seven points to illustrate
the recognition by the Smithsonian of
the Wrights' achievement in being the
first to make sustained human flights
in poWer-propelled, heavier than air
machine. This recognition, he said, in
cluded the publication of articles by
the Wright brothers in the Smithsonian
annual reports for 1902 and 1914, and
of other articles descriptive of their
achievements; the award to the virgins
brothers of the first Langley gold medal
for aeronautics, the request made in
1910 for Wright planes, including the
Kitty Hawk plane, to be exhibited in
the National Museum; and the public
exhibition in the Museum of the
Wright plane of 1908 deposited by the
War Department., and of all material
o0tainab!e on the Wright achievements.

WRIGHT MAKES STATEMENT.

[: DAYTON, Ohio, September 30 (R.-
Orville Wright pioneer of the air, to-
night reiterated his suggestion to sub
NIT his controversy with the Smith
sonian Institution to "disinterested per-
sons" after reading the statement of
Charles G.. Abbot secretary of the in
stitution, announcing that the label on
the Langley aerodrome had been
changed.
Wright issued the following state
ment:
In the friendly conference with me
last April, to which DR.. Abbot refers,
he expressed a desire to have the
Smithsonian-Wrigh controversy settled
without the intervention of outside
parties. Later he said that there is
nothing which binders me from going
very far to satisfy Mr.. Wright and
the insistence that we confess our
selves to be insincere knaves'
II then told him that all insisted
upon was a correction of the false i'm
pressions created by the Smithsonian
Institution in the public mind. His
present paper does not make those cor
rections and l infer that he found II
| impossible to make them without ex-
posing the past discreditable conduct
OF his institution, which the present
paper attempts to justify.
"At times it becomes amusing. II
Offers an explanation of why, when we
suggested the Kitty Hawk plans fol-
! the National Museum in 1910, the Off
Gals preferred one of our machines Of
five years later date.
"At the time we assumed that it was
because the National Museum then
would have an 1896 Langley flying
model, a 1903 Langley aeroplane ana
only 1908 Wright aeroplane. This tc
us seemed significant. but it is now
explained that the Smithsonian officials
preferred the 1908 Wright plane be-
cause that plane seemed to them more
interesting than the first plane that
ever few Is it not time that our
National Museum is put into the hands
of some one with better knowledge
of and appreciation of the relative i'm
portance of historical objects?"

almost three years work. The wall
runs along the gulf shore Of Har-

miles from Biloxi on the east,
through Gulfport and on to Pass
Christian to the west. The seawall
protects the Old Spanish Trail
through Harrison county, paved
boulevard, overlooking the Mexican
gulf.
The road protection commission of
Harrison county, composed of five
citizens from the five beats Of the
county. serving without compensa-
ton, had charge of the undertak-
ing, working as a committee under
the Harrison county board of su-
pervisors.
Financed by Gas Tax
The Mississippi legislature grant

Of the wall. This tax of two cents
per gallon on the gasoline relieves
