Only the weather stopped
aerial celebration of the SD an
niversary Of the airplane yeSter-
day.
But on the ground the avia-
ton world hailed the Wright
brothers and their achievement
at Kitty Hawk, N. c.
Before the annual Wright
memorial dinner at the Shera-
ton-Park Hotel last night. Vice
President Nixon called the B-52
jet bomber "the greatest deter
rent to war the world has ever
seen and the greatest force for
peeace when a potential agrees
Sor may be on the loose"
His comment on the global
bomber came as he presented
the Collier Trophy to William
M. Allen. president Of the Boeing
Aircraft Co.. and to Gen. Ma
than Twining, Air Force Chief Of
Staff. for the design. develop
uent and production of the B-52.
Weather grounded the annual
aerial pilgrimage Of Washington
aviation figures to the Wright
brothers shrine at Kitty Hawk.
It grounded a jet plane hyover
Of the Wright cenotapn at Kill
Devil Hill and kept the principal
speaker from appearing at the
Wright memorial luncheon. A
representative read the speech
which was to have been deliv-
cred by Coast Guard Comman-
dant Vice Admiral Alfred C.

added. that II the situation had
been reversed and If you were
here today to vote for those
who ran in opposition i. I still
would be here to extend my
enthusiastic welcome and TO

Official and essential action OF

wealths Of which 1t is composed.

Declares He's Presently

Candidate.

The Republican State Committee,
meeting last Friday night in Do
yer, reelected c. Edward Duffy of
Carrcrcft, state chairman and
heard him announce that he is not
welded to any candidates-nor
am / divorced from any"
This is as close as Mr. Duffy
has come in public to clarifying
his position on the subject of the
COP gubernatorial nomination.
10 carry Mr.. Duffy's analogy
one step further, it seems to con-
firm the rumor that there is no po-
litical romance between the state
chairman and Gov. j. Caleb Boggs.
For some time it's been apparent
that the Governor would say yeas"
to denomination if somebody would
propose it. But, with the exception
of Wilmington's Seventh Ward
Committee, none of the party units
has wooed him with endorsement.
Across the party's back fences.
Republicans have been saying that
it's Mr.. Duffy and some other lead
ers who have seen to it that the
Governor hasn't been asked.
There were those who predicted
the situation might develop into a
scene-a showdown in political
parlance-at the meeting of the

The smoohtness with which the
meeting ran indicates the Republi-
cans hope to settle their differen-
