their own Christmas Store"
Last year, the county's Volun-
teer Christmas Bureau. in charge
of the store, waited on more than
$500 people. Among them we're
an elderly woman who wanted,
and got. a parakeet. and a dis
abled man who wanted and got,
a radio. There is no charge.
Working this year under the
direction of the county Com

up shop in Rockville. in quarters
recently vacated by the County
Health Department on the second
floor of 331 East Montgomery

Teachers From IS States
Told Aviation Aids Culture

Some $50 teachers from IS
States yesterday heard powered
flight cited as a means by which
cultural and spiritual values
have been increased.
The teachers, assembled at a
Willard Hotel luncheon COM
memorating the fiftieth ami
versary of powered flight, were
winners in special education
contest sponsored by the Educa-
tional subcommittee for the Fif-
tieth Anniversary of Powered
Flight Committee.
DR.. James Elliott Mooney, pio-
neer aviation textbook author,
! told his audience the supreme
hope for mankind lies in the use
of aviation in bringing people
closer together through mutual
understanding. He appealed to
the teachers to help achieve this
! goal.
The speaker was introduced by
DR.. Herold Hunt, committee
chairman and professor Of edu-
cation at Harvard. Other guests

has been honest men. who have
built our great industry and who
will guide it's sound growth in
the future"
Declaring that the real legacy
Of the Wrights to their contem-
poraries was that flight had been
achieved, Mr. Martin added:
with this fact in mind. the
rest of us were enabled to sweep
all difficulties before us and
rush to our individual successes.
1t is the haunting fear that what
he is trying to do is impossible
that corrodes the will of the in
ventor. Once this fear is re-
moved, the spirit overrideS all
problems and moves quickly to
the fruition of the dream. All
of us who followed the Wrights
lived beyond such fears. Our
only problem was how best to do
the job"
1t was only six years after the
Wrights' flight that Mr. Martin.
then living in California. built
his first airplane and taught
himself to fly it without ever
having seen one.
Mr.. Martin also lauded many
of the pioneers who flew before
World War 1. He cited names
like Lincoln Beachey, Arch Hox-
sey, Ralph Johnstone, Phil Par
malice, Frank Coffin and Howard
Gill, who fostered the airplane
in the days when it was little
more than a "boxkite."
Reviewing criticism in certain
quarters that modern aircraft
are too costly, Mr.. Martin
pointed out that the condition
is not new. Even in the latter
days of World War 1, he said.
there were such crises, which
continued intermittently through
the years.
"There is a proper role for
the Government in aviation
progress" he continued. LAS a
customer, it must establish the
goals clearly and precisely that
we will be required to meet 1t
must assume the financial cost
of the research and development
work required in the perfection
of that goal"

Air Armada Scatters
After Hai|ing Wrights
AT Kitty Hawk Show

Frigid quiet returned to Kitty
Hawk late yesterday as a four
day air power salute died away
in the wake of the 50th ami
versary of powered flight.
| BY dusk you could hear the
sea gullS again.
The roaring air armada which
honored the Wright brothers
scattered to bases up and down
the East Coast: tiny private
planes and helicopters raced out
to beat nightfall home.
Although air salutes have been
held each year at Kitty Hawk,
the golden anniversary program,

been, the most complete and

With understandable modesty,
the four co-SponSors of the event
were even congratulating each
other. They were the Air Force
Association. the Kill Devil Hills
Memorial Society, the National
Park Service and the State of
North Carolina.
Despite high-speed passes by
jets and half dozen sonic
booms on yesterdays final day.
it took only two flights to re-
emphasize aviation's 50-year
stride.
One was the return flight of

Martin Predicts 25, 900 MPH
Space Ships by Year 2OO3

The second half-century of
powered flight will see inter-
stellar space ships capable of
speeds of $4,000 miles an hour,
Glen L. Martin, who has built
airplanes for almost so years,
said yesterday.
He was principal speaker at
the 18th Wright Brothers Lee
ture given in the the United
States Chamber of Commerce
Auditorium, under auspices of
the Institute of the -Aeronautical
Sciences. The lecture coincided
with the celebration of the 5Oth
anniversary of powered flight.
Mr.. Martin, in his forecasts,
also made these predictions:
Giant 200-paSsenger jet air
liners crossing the continents
and the oceans in literally zero
time in the westerly direction.
This, it was pointed out, would
mean flight in the neighborhood
of 1000 miles an hour to keep
pace with the sun.

of multiple circumnavigation of

line traffic for distances of $50
miles or less.
Flying boats with speeds
matching that of the equivalent
landplane but with greater ca
pacity for cargo, passengers or
weapons.
Fully automatic airline flight
operations through electronic
guidance and control equipment.
Reductions in the cost Of air
travel well below that of any
other form of transportation.
Possible Through Honesty.
The retired head of the Martin
Aircraft Corp, of Baltimore, who
was closely acquainted with the
Wright brothers, termed Orville
Wright the most honest man he
had ever met. He added:
II am convinced that it was
this devotion to truth, in all
things, that lay at the root OF
the Wright brothers success in
creating the airplane. The quail

Air Museum Curator
Recalls Area S Early
Role in Aviation

Important early contributions
to aviation by pioneer firms and
pilots of the Washington area
were described yesterday by Paul
CARRIER, curator of the National
Air Museum. at a luncheon in
one of the first aircraft plants
here.
AS part of the ceremonies COM
memorating the 50th anniver-
sary of powered flight. a plaque
was presented to Hogate's Sea
Food Restaurant. at Ninth street
and Maine avenue S.W., site of
the Simmons Propeller Co.,
which figured prominently in the
early development of the air.

Held by the Commission
Committee, the luncheon cli-
NAKED the District part in the
celebration of Orville and Will
bur Wright's achievement on De-
cember IT, 1908.
Recalls Langley.
In discussing the pioneer days,
Mr.. CARRIER cited some of devel-
opments around Washington
which helped aviation along. He
told of how Samuel Langley con-
Structed models not far from the
Simmons plant; of how balloons
flown in the area as early as 1861
ultimately became the basis of
establishing the Air Force.
He cited the Wright brothers
flight demonstrations just over
the river at Fort Myer, Va, and
the activity which took place
at College Park, Md, site of one
of the earliest airfields in the
world. 1t was there that glider
and early airplane experiments
went on, and there were several
in the audience who could recall
them.
AS to the Simmons Co., Mr..
CARRIER said it was founded as
the Washington Airplane Co.,
and originally was a huge factory
and machine shop which serviced
steamers on the Potomac River.
However, when this business
waned, Mr.. CARRIER added, the
firm turned to other work.
Ultimately. in addition to pro-
pellerS. the Columbia monoplane,
presumably named after this
area. and a monoplane and a
flying boat were made in the
factory.
Recalls Plant Layout.
Mr.. CARRIER told of the way the
machinery and Offices were laid
out, however. for a number of
years. the firm produced what
were said to be the finest pro-
pellers in the country. One of
them was on display over the
speakers roStrum.
The company eventually moved
to larger quarters on G street
NV, between Sixth and Sew
enth streets, he said.
Jennings Randolph, assistant
to the president of Capital Air
lines, asked for a moment of
silence before the luncheon in
honor of William H. Shipper, ir.,
aviation specialist for The Star,
who died recently. He paid trib-
ute to Mr.. Shippen's ability as
an aviation writer, as well as a
man who had many friends
throughout the industry.
The audience included Gov
ernment aviation officials, as we'll
as representatives of civil, COM
mercial and military circles.
Aviation pioneers present in
cluded such men as Henry Ber-
liner. Grover Looming, and IA
nous women flyers like Jacque-
line Cochran. Blanche Noyes and
Arlene Davis.

Shrouds and Tires,
Guns and N Sold
Al Police Auction

Police sold four burial Shrouds
at their auction today, and those
present at the annual sale were
reluctant to ask who might have
abandoned them.
At any rate they had not been
claimed at the police property
room and so were included in
the $4,000 worth of abandoned,
lost or seized property sold to
the high bidders.
Auctioneer Adam Weschler did
brisk business before about
600 bargain-hunterS on the sec
ond floor of the old F. P. May
warehouse at SGT C street NV.
The sale saw 18-inch televiSion
sets go for $45.
Among other items which
went under his hammer were 80
cases of empty soft drink bottles,
a one-ton shoe buffing machine
and Is truck tires.
A small arsenal of firearms,
mostly old and rusty. sold quick
ly. Among them was a fooled
Czech fowling piece with a
choice of three barrels. Back in
one dark corner stood two tall
hicycleS reminiscent of the Cav
COS. Near them hung a steel
engraving of a pastoral scene.
Some buyers may have ac-
quired items with a shady past.
Inspector Earl P. Hartman, po-
lice property officer. said several
of the guns and other items had
been used as evidence in criminal

Woman Pleads Guilty
In Keeping Of Child

A Al year old Arlington
woman today pleaded guilty in
Arlington Circuit Court to a
charge she secreted a 7-year-old
boy from his mother for two
years.
The defendant, Mrs. Dolores
Berger, colored, of the 1900
block of Jefferson Davis high
way, was accused of keeping
James Leon Woods in her Arl-
ington home, from August, 1851,
to July, 1853.
The boys mother, Mrs. Dor
othy Cole, colored, of the 100
block of Twelfth street NV,
told police she had turned the
boy over to woman who de-
clared she was from the Juve-
nile Bureau.
Mrs. Berger, who enrolled the
boy in Arlington schools as
Junior Berger" declared the
child was brought to her by a
woman who said she was the
child's mother but was unable
to take care of him properly.
Through her attorney, P. H.
Harris, colored, Mrs. Berger's
plea was explained as referring
only to the keeping of the child
and not to his alleged abduction.
Assistant Commonwealth's At
torney Louis Koutoulakos said
that, pending a probation report,
Mrs. Berger's sentencing has
been postponed until the De-
cember term of the Circuit
Court.
