Langley. proved a key historical
figure in the story of fight. His
fundamental research in large
powered models jumped the
aviation science 10 times ahead
of previous marks, Mr.. CARRIER
said.
DR.. Langley built a full-scaie
plane in 1908, and it might have
flown had 1t not been thrown
into the Potomac by a faulty
launching gear. DR.. Langley re-
ceived horselaughs from the
skeptical public, but his name
is an honored one today in avia-

Mr.. CARRIER, himself an avia-

However, it appeared that the

This is the doctrine under which

ion on a regional basis.
1t includes a proposed alloca-
ton Of $250.000 a year for four
years to establish the School Of

DR. Anderson added that steps
toward this end have already
been taken by the development
of two programs. In the first
place, "the State Department

Reduction in
Voting Age to
19 Also Sought
By ALEX r. PRESTON
Star Stan CORRESPONDENT

RICHMOND, Jan. 23-Repub-
hcan State Senator Ted Dalton
said today he has ready legisla-
ton to repeal the Virginia poll
tax and lower the voting age
from 81 to 10 years.
Both moves would be accom-
plished by amending the State
constitution.
Senator Dalton gave the Leg
islation little chance of favorable
consideration. He is the man who
polled As per cent of the vote
against Democratic Gov. Stanley
three years ago.
Senator Dalton has been among
those to make poll tax repeal eff
forts at every recent session Of
the General Assembly. In 1854
he also proposed reducing the
yoGing age to 10 years, as In
dorsed by President Eisenhower.
Wants Issue Kept Alive
While conceding that legisla.
ton along this line emanating
from a Republican has little
chance of success in a Demo-
cratic-controlled Legislature, the
Radford lawmaker said, 81 feel
the questions should be kept alive
in the Assembly.
Poll tax repeal has scarcely
been mentioned at the current
session at which public school
segregation matters are predomi-
|nant.
Negroes registered and paid
their poll taxes in large numbers
to vote in a recent referendum
|on the Gray Commission plan for

The
Rambler
A Small Courtesy
Of the Highway
By JACK JONAS

Connecticut avenue, around
M street, is a busy place any
time of the day, and it's
especially busy in the rush
hour.
But even in the hurry to
keep on schedule, there's &C.
casionally time to help a man
in distress, although it may
be only a small distress.
During peak traffic the
other evening a junk dealer
was pushing his cart across
Connecticut with the light.
As the cart bumped over the
Streetcar tracks a box Of
cans and bottles fell off, land
ing square on the tracks.
The junk man. an oldster
with the lines of experience in
his face, knew the habits Of
traffic lights. So he kept on,
looking back at the box.
The light changed as he
reached the opposite curb,
and a streetcar which had
been waiting started up slow
ly toward the box.
The operator stopped the
car inches away, got out,
picked up the box, walked
through the traffic and set
the box back on the cart. He
nodded to the smiling junk
dealer, and got back aboard
his streetcar.

A man we know says he
is aware that one incident
doesn't make a trend, but
he is Mortified at the pos
sibilities in something he's
been seeing lately on King
street in Alexandria.
"a bunch of starlings
have been roOSting on a
televisi0n antenna attached
to a chimney on a house
near the bus stop where l
wait every morning" he
said. They've apparently
found out that it's warm
there"
"Now If all the starlings
in Washington make the
same discovery, it's going to
solve the startling problem
around Government build
ings downtown. But l
Shudder when 1 think what
it's going to do to the poor
property owners who have
TV antennas on their chim-
neys."
