Editor Times:
One Of the most hopeful signs of
the times is the fact that Dwight
W.. Morrow, who hopes to be Sena-
tor from New Jersey in the near
future, and is one Of the oldest
friends Of President Hoover, is an
advocate of the modification Of
the prohibition act.
Morrow is generally accounted a
"dry" personally and is more or
less identified with the interests
/. Of the Administration. It is sig
ntficant that, at q time when the
President Is insisting on 1llore ef
ficient enforcement laws and do.
Ing all he can to carry out the die!
tateS of the dry forces, such a
lieutenant of his as Dwight Nor
row finds it necessary to become
an outright modificationiSt in or
der to win primary in New Jer.
sey.
His opponent in the Republican
primary, j. c. FreylinghuSen, is an
acknowledged wet, and is likely to
defeat Morrow, even gith all the
Administration prestige behind
him. And although the President
seems to think his party is COM
rletely bound to follow the Anti.
Saloon League problem, I think
the coming congressional elections
will bring him considerable diSillu.
sionment on that score. The Ad-
n1lniStra ton will find that it can.
not remain mere rubber stamp
for the dry interests without en-
countering very heavy going, just
as Dwight Morrow already has
found. NEW JERSEYITE.
Editor, Times:
Today I read an article in your
paper referring to a gliding ma
chine.
think that you made a very
unfair statement in this item, in
aSmuch as you referred to this
gliding machine as the first glid-
ing machine built in Washington.
If you will refer to your files
of November, 1927, and March,
1928, I think you will agree with
me.
A young man by the name Of
Dashiell Wright built and flew
several gliders about this time.
! think that he is not only due
the credit Of flying the first
glider in the District, but also
the credit for awakening the ma
tional interest that our citizens
have shown.
Wright is q friend of mine,
