Smithsonian Assui|ed by Noel
For Repudiotinq LonqIey Flight

r. Regis Noel, president of the
Columbia Historical Society, last
night attacked the Smithsonian
Institution for what he called its
"hypocritical reputation" Of Sam
uel Pierpont Langley to obtain the
Wright Kitty Hawk plane.
Samuel Pierpont Langley was
one Of the founders of this organ
ization," Mr.. Noel told the men,
bers of the historical society. 1--WE
should not be loyal If we failed
him now"
Mr.. Noel described as a farce"
the ceremony Of last December IT,
in which the Smithsonian InStitu-
ton accepted the returned plane.
There were at least five flights
before the alleged Kitty Hawk
fight" Mr.. Noel said. Clement
Adler. a Frenchman. he said. made
three flights in 1890. Mr.. Noel
produced snapshot taken by
Alexander Graham Bell, inventor
of the telephone. which Mr.. Noel
said showed the Langley plane in
the air on May 6, 1895. The next
flight. he said was a 12-mile flight
by George Whitehead on Long
Island Sound in 1902.
Langley, who was secretary of
the Smithsonian. was an expert
menter in heavier-than-air flight
In the COS. Orville Wright took
exception to the credit the institu-
ton gave Langley for making the
first fight. AS q result, Orville

ports clean-cut recommendations SUI
ficient to remedy any existing ills
which such investigations may have
uncovered. - l do not think it is
the proper thing for 9 men to go oat
and investigate any irregularity in a
department. / am not a member of
the Committee on Investigations but
say there is a certain amount of
honor and integrity in the men whom
we select to serve on the Committee
and it is my belief that they will make
proper investigations in any case that
may. come up and report their find
ings to Council. / believe the Resolu-
ton is submitted in good faith but l
do nottconsider it proper to place it
before Council at this time. If I were
a member of the Committee I would
consider the presentation of such a
resolution to Council an insult to me
We are all equal here & have elected
three of our members to serve on an
investigation committee and I will
stand behind those men because | be-
lieve they will give good and faithful
service and, therefore, | do not favor
the adjustment of the Resolution
creating the Committee on Investiga-
ton.
1st Member for Christiansted Town
Jacobs): Mr.. Chairman. With due res
pect to the last speaker, he has given
a very lengthy talk but it is the Graz
lest talk / have ever heard. How many
times has an investigation been made
by the Committee on Investigation?
When he says nine members of Coun-
Gil will have to go out and make an
investigation if this resolution is
passed | consider that as the eraziest
talk / have ever heard. What differ
ence would it make if nine mem
berS 60, out and make the investiga-
tion?rWe have nine members meeting
in Council often and sometimes meet
ing for nothing. When the member
says if the bill is passed nine members
will have to go out every day that is
"a joke.
End Member for Frederiksted Coun-,
try District Nodge1: Mr.. Chairman.

mark where he says l am crazy be-
cause I am not crazy. Iwant to say
that if the whole Council goes out for

PROCEEDING5
OF THE
MUNICIPAL COUNCIL
OF THE
TUESDAY. U Y l8. ls4s

With that in view, MIR. Chairman, |
firmly believe that Investigations
should be conducted by Council in
stead of a committee of three men,
berS.
lst Member for ~Frederiksted Town
MeazerC Nj. Chairman. Since this
Council is the body that sets up the
committee that committee cannot
take action. This Council may set up
one hundred committees but it is not
bound by the decision of any Of them.
End Member for Frederiksted Town
(Mc Farlane): MI. Chairman. The
Committee will not make an investi-
cation unless there is a cause, the In
vestigation Committee will 60 out &
do the ground work and find out the
basic facts and bring that to the Coun-
Gil and then the Council will proceed
to take action.
End Member for Christiansted Coun-
try District (Wulff): Mr.. Chairman.
Is it true that this Council already
has the right to investigate any de-
partment?
The Chairman (Harrigan): That's
right.
End Member for Christiansted Coun-
try District (Wulff): Then this resolu-
ton is not necessary.
End Member for Frederiksted Coun-
try District (Hodge): Mr.. Chairman.
l would like to speak briefly and
frankly in regard to this resolution.
Itsseems to me that if we have to use
the Council to investigate every case
that comes up from time to time with
III the Municipality the Council would
be at work every day because I know
that on several occasions where the
Committee on Investigation has not
functioned the Municipal Committee
has had to go into matters that have
been brought to its attention and
make recommendation to the Gov
eminent especially where financial
matters are concerned, but it seems
to me to take the nine members of
Council and pay each $500 per meet
ing for an investigation it would be a
mighty expensive proposition. ! be-
lieve a resolution of this sort would
be more appropriate when members
of Council are receiving a salary but
at present / believe it is going to be
too expensive. Paragraph 8 of the Re
solution says " the Committee shall
, 1949-06-13

From what End Member for Frederlk-
sted Country District Hodge) has
said / see no need for this resolution.
I understand him to say that the
Committee on Investigation did not
function and the Municipal Commit
tee had to 60 out.
End Member for Frederiksted Coun-
try District Hodge) /: (Intervening):
Mr. Chairman. Issaid where the Com
mittee did not function the Municipal
Committee came in and we called in
the head of the department or the Ad-
ministrator and have the matter set
tied.
End Member for Christiansted Coun-
try District (Wulff): Mr.. Chairman.
I would suggest that the House go in
to Committee Of the Whole and there
amend the bill to read Investigations
shall be made by the whole Council.
If that is done the Council can send
out three members to, make the in
vestigation and they will report back
to Council.
End Member for Frederiksted Coun-
try District (Hodge): Mr.. Chairman.
The Committee on Investigation is
!, subordinate to the Council; and it is
an easy matter for the Council to say
we do not want the Committee to go
and it can go and make the investiga-
ton. It is the same way with the Mu-
nicipal Committee, it must make re-
commentators to Council and the,
Governor. The Council finds it is bet
ter to have IN investigation commit
tee of three men.
End Member for Christiansted Coun-
try District (Wulff): Mr.. Chair
man. / mean to break up this three
men business and let the Council be
the investigation committee.
LIST Member for Christiansted Coun-
try District Chase: Mr.. Chairman. I
have listened to all that has been said
in connection with this resolution to
abolish the Investigation Committee
pro and con. In all bodies whether le-
gislative or otherwise we have a body
that conducts Investigations. In this
Municipality there have been many
complaints as regards the working Of
certain department especially at this
time and I take it that the complaints
are so many that it will take an ag-
gregate of work to investigate. If the
entire Council will take it upon itself

to Judge the matches, those
in authority should stick by
them, right or wrong. Judges
are only human and for that
reason may commit an error
But the fans who find fault
with the decisions are not
qualified to be I'D g IS, or
referees, themselves and, in
all probability do not know
enough about the sport to
act in that capacity.
Judges, and referees, see
blows landed which the ordi-
nary fan does not see, the
amount of punishment alb
sorbed by one fighter, and
the amount meted out by his
opponent are clear to the
officials who pass judgement
on the boxers.
Boxing fans should be sure
of their own knowledge oI
the game before they fine
fault with the efforts of the
unbiased officials.
If the officials are not com
petent, they should not be
selected in the first place
And when they are pickec
for their ability, they shoulc
be backed up by the pro
moters and the commission,
who license them.
