BroYhiII Won't Press
Bill on Fairfax Water

Representative Broyhill, Re-
publican, of Virginia has no in
tention of pressing his bill to
permit private utility companies
to tap the District water system
unless Falls Church and Fairfax
County give the measure their
support.
Mr.. Broyhill, in a letter to
the City Council and the Board
Of Supervisors, said the bill had
been opposed by Falls Church
and had met with only luke
warm support in Fairfax.
Falls Church receives water
from the District through a line
that crosses part of Fairfax
County. Falls Church opposed
the bill because the city wants
to serve that part of the county
The Representative, in his let
ter, expressed the hope that ''the
current Fairfax County water
shortage can be solved at the

whether they favor the bill and

State AttOrnYes General
To Defend 'TideIands' Act
BY the Associa,ed Pres.

Attorney General Brownell says
the National Association of State
Attorneys General will join the
Federal Government in defend
ing conStitutionality of sub
merged oil lands legislation.
Both Arkansas and Alabama
have filed court actions chal-
lenging the law passed at the
last session of Congress.
Mr.. Brownell said he and mem
berS of his staff had just COM
pleted a series of conferences
with committees of the aSsocia-
ton. He said he was told the as
sociation plans to file briefs in
support of the legislation and
that some individual States may
do likewise.
The submerged lands laws pro-
vide that coastal States have title
to off-shore submerged lands as
far out as their historical boun-
darieS, three miles in most cases,
with the Federal Government
taking title beyond those boun-
daries. Critics of the legislation
charged that it was a "giveaway''
on the part Of the Federal Gov

Stor Stuff CORRESPONDENT

KITTY HAWK, N. c., Oct. IA.
Half a hundred aviation old
timers from all over the world
gathered on the Atlantic sand
dunes here yesterday to relive
the early struggles of the Wright
brothers.
Visitors from Europe, Canada
and South America Joined with
the trail blazers of the United
States to honor the two men
who led the way to a new era
in transportation. They had seen
the age of flight develop within
their active lifetimes.
Many were in advanced years,
stopped and gray. They were
the record breakers of past
generations whose exploits dated
back to the horse-and buggy
days. Some of the records won
at risk of life and limb were all
too rapidly forgotten in the on
rush of aviation progress.
But yesterday was theirs in
memories relived and few would
consent to be left behind as the
sightSeers toiled on foot over the
deep sand and the wind blown
slopes, known well to Orville and
Wilbur Wright in their youthful,
most productive days.
Heavy Going.
The elderly pilgrims climbed
the big, grasS-grown dune, which
contains no motor road to the
obeliSk that commentaries the
Wrights. A few obviously found
the half-mile, uphill slope very
heavy going.
But the seniors joined the
juniors. kidding each other
along. Helicopters of the Coast
Guard were waiting to fly them
over the monument at low alti-
tudes, and buses to circle the
base for a view from all sides.
There was no lack of trans
portation. The visitors were
guests of the Air Force Associa-
ton and the Kill Devil Hills
Memorial Society. They had
been flown in Air Force, Navy
and Fairchild Aircraft planes for
an all-day visit to the historic
dunes.
The group began assembling
in Washington early this week
for a dinner there tonight in
honor of aviation'S pioneers.
sponsored by the National Aero
nautic Association.
Visit Tate Cottage.
The first point visited was the
modest cottage of Capt. w j.
Tate, then Of the lighthouse
service.
It was here that a stranger.
Wilbur Wright, presented him
self in September, 1900, to ask if
he and his brother could receive
room and board.

struggling aviation companies
in time to produce thousands
of bombers during World War II.
They had strolled up to the
cottage with j. A. D. McCurdy,
who built and flew the first air.
plane in Canada. He built his
plane in 1908 and two years
later received the first wireless
message from ground to air.
HelicOpter Tours.
The visitors were taken from
the Tate cottage to the area just
under the memorial, where the
Wrights launched their gliders.
Here fiye-passenger helicopters
were waiting to take guests on
low tours of the vicinity.
Those taking the hop included
Katherine Stinson Otero, sister
of the founder of the famous line
of Stinson airplanes. In 1912,
she became the first aviatrix to
own and operate a flying school
and later took several distance
records from masculine competi-
tors.
With her on the hop was
Blanche Noyes, chief of the Air
Route Marking Branch of the
Federal AirwayS and one of the
Nations early racing pilots.
Two old friends who strolled
together over the dunes were
Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd
and Col. Bernt Balchen, pilot of
the Admiral's fight over the
South Pole in 1929.
Col. Balchen was co-pilot on
Admiral Byrd's transatlantic
hop which ended on Omaha
Beach, France, in a crash landing
few weeks after Col. Lindbergh
few the ocean alone.
Two other famed airmen ex-
changing "reminiscences were
Prof. Willy Messerschmitt, Ger
man designer of fighter planes
and AL Williams, holder of many
speed records before World War
II.
Western COnSultant Now.
DR.. Messerschmitt, whose jets
came too late in the war to halt
the massive bombing Of Ger
many, is now serving as a con-
sultant to Western nations in
aircraft design work.
Mr.. Williams has settled down
on a farm of his own near
Elizabeth City, N. c., about 100
miles inland. from Kitty Hawk.
AS a member of a famed team
of High Hat" Navy precision
flyers, Mr.. Williams once startled
an air meet crowd at the Ana
costa Naval Air Station in
Washington by coming in for a
fast, low landing down.
Nothing like Mr.. Williams

Capital Transit Asks
2-Streef Parking Ban

The Capital Transit Co. has
suggested to the commissioners
that parking be banned during
the day on F and G streets be-
tween Seventh and Fifteenth
streets NV. and on Seventh
street NV. from Pennsylvania
avenue to Rhode Island avenue.
James H. Flanagan, vice presi-
dent of the Transit company and
former chairman of the Public
Utilities Commission yesterday
outlined the proposal to Brig.
Gen. Louis w. PrentisS, Engineer
Commissioner, and officials of
the Highway and Traffic depart.
mentS.
It also was suggested that de-
liverieS to stores on those streets
be restricted to the hours before
9 am.
Traffic Director George e.
Keneipp told Gen. Prentiss the
Transit company proposal would
eliminate about $50 parking
meters. It also was suggested
that all streetcar loading plat
forms be moved to the beginning
of blocks so StreetcarS would not
have to stop to load and unload
passengers and then be pre-
vented from moving by a red
light.
Mr.. Keneipp said he will con-
fer with Dewey zirkin, president
Of the Merchants and Manu-
facturers' Association and Harry
Grubbs, president of the District,
Trucking Association. Another
conference is planned within
two weeks.

Lighting 10 Match
Plane Speeds Urged

In these days Of planes capa-
bic OF speeds of more than 500
miles an hour, it is necessary
to develop more effective light
ing on them to help the pilot
in taking of or landing, an
authority on the subject said
last night.
Joseph D. Blatt, assistant ad-
ministrator of the Civil Aero
nautics Administration, brought
up the subject before the Illu-
minating Engineering Society
in the Sheraton-Park Hotel.
In discussing new tasks for
aviation lighting, Mr.. Blatt
painted the picture of two 500
mile-an-hour jets closing in on
each other, with little time to
maneuver. and the consequent
Importance of their lighting
systems.
He added that. with air traffic
growing heavier, it is also i'm
portant for ground lighting
systems at airports to keep pace.
Charles Adler, jr., of Balti-
more, a member of the Mary
land Aeronautical Commission,
was presented with a CAA cita-
ton for his contributions to
aviation lighting. Mr.. Adler,
who has given many aviation
lighting patents to the Govern
ment without charge, invented
the flashing lights used by air
planes.
Also honored was H. j. Cory
Pearson, Of the CAA Technical
Development and Evaluation
Center, in Indianapolis, Ind. He
was made a fellow of the society
in recognition of his work in
the field of aviation lighting.

made World War II inevitable
1--WE knew the airplane eventu-
ally would become the successor
to the logistic control of the

Hits Payment Proposal.
Mr.. Wilson criticized proposals
to make the commercial airlines
pay for the airspace, contending
that the carriers, in having pio-
neered the "air oceans" have
contributed and still are contrib
uting to the cause of defense.
So are the private flyers, he
said.
Five years ago." he declared,
''there were 10000 young people
licensed to operate airplanes.
Today there are only $4,000.
This is a startling drop in Amer
lea. But it is not happening in
Russia. You can't get a crop
unless you plant the seeds"
Mr.. Wilson said he doubted
very much if the jet plane ever
will be used in commercial trans
portation in this country, be-
cause nuclear-powered aircraft
may be developed soon.
AirIines Receiving Certificates.
The airlines receiving the GER
tificates of commentator were
Capital Airlines, Allegheny Air
lines, Northwest Orient Airlines.
American Airlines, Trans World
AirlineS, Eastern Air Lines, Ma

Resort Airlines and United Air
lines.
