LXVIL, NO. 10,799 MEMBER ASSOCIATED PRESS PRICE TEN CENTS ORVILLE WRIGHT IS DEAD (BY KEN DAVIS) DAYTON, O, Jan. 31.—(P—Death came to Orville Wright last mgm 44 years after he put wings on the waorld with the first flight in a heav-| ier-than-air machine. | The 76-year-old co-inventor of| the airplane died in his sleep under an oxygen tent at Miami Valley Hospital at 10:40 p.m. Dr. A. B. Brower, said Wright succumted to a lung congestion and coronary arterios- celerosis, a heart disease. The world’s pioneer aviator enter- ed the hospital last Tuesday after suffering his second heart attack of recent months. He recovered rap- idly from a first attack Oct. 10, 1947. Without Orville Wright's cloth, his physician, | 'gluo and wood contraption and his § 12-second flight over the sands of Kitty Hawk, N. C. in 1903, there would be no air force, but the in- ventor himself readily admitted he never had envisioned his airplane as the world’s big military weapon ‘While he aided American military might by conferring with Wright Field Engineers on many air force projects, Wright turned to peace- ful uses of the airplane \\u‘\ more interest With his abiding interest in things , Wright clung to a native shy- ness end modesty. He lived in close retirement most of his years. Once his noted impromptu wit brought forth this explanation of his av- ersion to speaking in public: “The most talkative bird in the world is a parrot, but he’s a poor flier.” Reward Offered The sum of $458 dollars has been pledged by the busin men, the Moc:e Lodge, Local 58 IFAWA, trol-! lers and other residents of Sitka, as a reward to the party or parties who can furnish definite informa- tion as to the whereabouts of James Gay and Thomas Woods or for the recovery of their bodies.
