Paul Edward Garber, in charge of the aviation museum, is showing the model to Joe Colvard of Cleveland, visiting relatives at 3 East Thornapple street, Chevy Chase, Md. —Star Staff Photo. VIATION history and progress of the past year, in some Te- spects the most remarkable in a single year since the first airplane flight in 1903, is traced in & series of 145 new specimens acquired for the aircraft museum of the Smith- sonian Institution during the fiscal year which ended today. The specimens range from a mosel of the giant Pan-American clipper ship now engaged in Transpacific air | transport pioneering, to a program of the world’s first air meet; from e model of the airplane which holds the world speed record to the magnetic | compass which guided Rear Admiral | SrEteilan | Richard Byrd back from the North | Pole, and from samples of new ari-| the cap of a modern craft metals to air transport pilot. One of the most interesting full- size exhibits is the sailplane used by the late Warren Eaton in a number of notable flights. The engine supercharger and the fur-lined flying suit used by Lieut. | Apollo Soucek in his world record | altitude flights from the Anacostia Naval Air Station have been edded.

The collection starts with the “Vin-Fiz Flyer, in which Cal Rodgers in 1911 made the first transcontinental flight. Vin-Fiz Flyer in Collection. The original Vin Fiz Flyer, one of the most famous planes of its day, was acquired last year by Mr. Garber, who has spent six months of hard | work putting the plane in shape for | exhibition.

PRINCIPLE IN PERIL New-Deal Laws Emergency Measures, but Crisis Is Past, He Says. By the Associated Press. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J, June 29.— With the statement that “a funda- mental principle of American Govern- ment is at stake,” Albert C. Ritchie, former Governor of Maryland, said today the time has come when “any honest person” is entitled to disagree “with much that comes out of Wash- ington these days and still be a good American.” Serving as toastmaster at the an- nual banquet of the Maryland State Bar Association, in convention here, the former executive said the Nation accepted the New Deal statutes as emergency measures, even though many of them contravened the Con- stitution. “The experimental period is about over now,” he sald. “We are face to face with the fact that in all likeli- hood there will be an ultimate break- down in our form of government un- less from now on we meet our national problems within, and not without, those American principles and insti- tutions prescribed by the Constitution.” ‘Wonders at Harsh Criticism. He expressed wonder that those in high authority in Washington should sometimes “denounce so readily and so harshly” the motives of these who venture to question any of the Govern- ment’s methods for attaining recovery. “Forces are now developing in this country,” he continued, “which pro- fess to think that the American system is not worth saving; that it has out- lived its usefulness, that it cannot meet the new problems of the new day and so it should be scrapped. I am not one of these. I believe that such a system of government is worth saving, and that it has within itself that which can meet the problems of this or any other day.” Ritchie said the free spirit of the American people has been back of all their achievement, and that while plundering of the public resources and private citizens should be eradicated, “this need not lead us to passing ‘death which would destroy the good as well as the bad.” Autocracy Is Feared. “If we surrender the old to the new spirit,” he concluded, “then this will mean the defeat of the American | theory of democracy; it will mean that the American Government will be autocratic instead of free.” George Weems Williams its president, from Baltimore. | lish “Valkyrie”; a Burgess-Dunne and the James V.

A collection of war-time propellers was found by Mr. Garber in storage in the post prison at Fort Eustis, Va., and brought here.
