Gives Tower
Major Posts

The Senate Republican Con-
ference set a precedent yester-
day by giving two good commit
tee assignments to Senator John
G. Tower, the first Republican
Senator from Texas since Re-
construction days.
The conference assigned him
to Banking and Currency and
the Labor and Public Welfare
Committees. 1t also departed
from tradition by making him
the first freshman Senator ever
placed on the Republican Policy
Committee.
In other assignments, Sena-
tor Fong Of Hawaii was moved
from Interior to Judiciary, and
Senate Republican Leader
Dirksen moved from Labor and
Welfare to Interior to give
Senator Tower a spot on the
Labor Committee.
Elected last month in special
balloting, Senator Tower serves
out the remaining five years
and six months Of a term to
which Vice President johnson
was elected last November. In
the interim between Mr.. john
sons resignation to become
Vice President and Senator

filled by William Blakley,

He beamed at the 32-foot
plane in the museums star
spot at the entrance (next to
"a mock-up of the Mercury
man-in-Space capsule).
Some visitors called it an
"old crate" he said. But it is
a beauty, built by the Wrights,
Mr.. CARRIER said. 1t could be
flown today. he said.
And the administrator of the
Federal Aviation Agency looked
admiringly at the plane. The
administrator, N. E. Halaby,
made the first flight coast to
coast in a jet plane.
He announced that the FAA
is designating a skyway in
Rodgers memory. He presented
a certificate honoring his flight
to Rodgers widow, Mrs. Charles
L. Wiggin. Her present hus-
band was the chief mechanic
of the Vim Fiz. over and over,

Ankle Broken
He took off for Long Beach
but crashed when a fuel line
broke. Severely bruised, his
ankle broken, he lay recuperat-
ing for nearly a month.
On December 10, he hobbled
to his plane on crutches and
flew the few miles to the beach
where he TAXED his wheels into
the edge of the surf. Eighty
two hours and "a minutes was
his actual time in flight,
though the trip took "a days.
But he had made it.
He boldly predicted that pas
senger planes would one day
cross the continent in three
days. That time has been
greatly cut-to a little more
than five hours for a passenger
jet.
But today's planes, like
Rodgers, fall prey to the nat
ural denizens of the air.
Newspapers reported that as
Rodgers flew another Wright
plane above the breakers at
Long Beach on April 3, 1912, a
sea gull flew into it and wedged
into the controls.
The plane dipped downward
and crashed.
Rodgers was pulled to shore
but did not survive his injuries.

A Navy jet tipped coaSt-to-
coast in 167 minutes recently.
But so years ago, Calbraith
Perry Rodgers rose from a hos
pital bed, walked on crutches
to his canvas-and-wire Vim Fiz
and flew the last lap of the
S4-day torture by which he be-
came the first man to fly from
coast to coast.
A few months later he was
dead.
He crashed on the Pacific
shore, very close to the spot
where he triumphed over the
continent.
Rodgers was a rare, brave
man, his trim widow recalled
Monday at the Smithsonian
Institutions National Air Mu-
scum. She and other air pio-
neers had gathered for a cere-
mony marking the golden an
i1iversary of the flight.
She lamented that many
have forgotten Rodgers daring.

curator and historian of the
National Air Museum, had not
forgotten. AS an 11-year-old,

with only two original parts

IlluStriOuS Ancestors
What made Gal" Rodgers
dare the flight? Mrs. Wiggin
recalled that the man sought
to live up to his ancestors
grandfather Matthew Calbraith
Perry who introduced West
ern civilization to Japan and
granduncle Capt. Oliver Haz-
ard Perry, hero of the Battle
of Lake Erie.
Then too, the Hearst news
papers offered $4,000 for the
flight. Other fliers were trying
and Rodgers had always en-
joyed competition.

backed him and had the plane
named Vim Fiz for a soft drink
they were interested in mar
keting.
Rodgers placed his 6-foot-4
bulk into the open seat of the

at Sheepshead Bay, Long Is

propellers driven by bicycle
chains linked to a single en-

Is Hard SmaShes
He had tied a corset string
to the plane to help him Judge
whether he was going up, down,
left or right. (The string was
his wife'S.)
Fifteen severe crashes de-
layed Rodgers. The parts used
to replace broken sections of
the Vim Fiz would have built
four new airplanes.
Once Rodgers deliberately
steered into a fence in landing
to avoid a crowd of we'll
wisherS who swarmed onto the
field. A thunderstorm over
Indiana dazed him, and later
an eagle attacked.
A cylinder exploded, injuring
his arm so that he had to use
his knee to push the stick and
guide the plane. A physician
picked fragments of metal
from Rodgers arm for two
hours while mechanics in
stalled a new engine.

was the profits to be found in

When Saks Fifth Avenue

yesterday the building may be

formal groundbreaking has been
