Capt. Holden C. Richardson, who helped design the first plane to fly the Atlantic, says hello to Mrs. Mary (Mother) Tusch, a long-time friend of aviation's, as he visits the National Air Museum with other famous air pioneers yesterday.

Aviation's Early Birds View Relics of Own Fledgling Days
Some of the world's most famous air pioneers visited the National Air Museum yesterday and took a walk through some of the aviation history they helped create.
Paul Garber, curator of the museum, conducted the veteran airmen through the exhibits and many of them glowed with pride when Garber called attention to early planes they designed and flew.
At the end of the tour two of the pioneers presented Garber with historical items to add to the museum's collection.
Blanche S. Scott of Hornell, N.Y., who learned to fly in 1910 and was known as the "Tomboy of Aviation" during her barn-storming days, turned over a faded bill poster advertising a 1912 air show she presented at Oakland, Calif.
Charles Dolfus, one of France's pioneers, presented the museum with a strip of fabric from "The Question Mark," French aircraft which made the first East-West crossing of the Atlantic in 1930.
For Ruth Law Oliver of San Francisco, the tour brought back memories of the time when she became the first woman to loop an airplane. A craft she flew in 1915 was on exhibit at the museum.
For Capt. Holden C. Richardson, USN (ret.), the tour was an opportunity to see the hull of the famed NC-4, first plane to fly the Atlantic. Richardson, who lives at the Army-Navy Club here, helped design the flying boat.

The tour brought back memories for Brig. Gen. Frank P. Lahm USA (ret.), of Canton, Ohio, who exclaimed, “I flew one of those,“ when the group passed by a Spad of World War I vintage.

While touring the museum the pioneers met Mrs. Mary “Mother” Tusch, 77 of 1144 44th pl. se. A friend of aviators since World War I when a flying school was located near her Berkeley California home, “Mother“ Tusch moved to Washington recently after turning over her collection of aviation momentos to the museum.

Half a hundred early pilots and designers, from 10 foreign countries and the United States, took part in the tour. They came here to attend the international Air Pioneers dinner Wednesday in the Mayflower.

The dinner, sponsored by The National Aeronautics Association, was part of the observance of the fiftieth anniversary of powered flight. The group of early birds disbanded yesterday and returned to their homes.

New York Lawyer Heads Board on German Bond
By the Associated Press
The State Department yesterday announced the appointment of David A. Stretch, New York lawyer, as chairman of the board for validation of German dollar bonds.
The purpose of the board is to prevent payment on bonds that the German government bought for cancellation years ago and which were seized by Russian armed forces in Berlin at the end of World War II. There were 350 million dollars of these bonds and the American and West German governments do not know where they are.

NEW FASHION "WHEATLEY" COTTON BROADLOOM HAS OLD FASHION LOOK OF CHENILLE!
Time was when corn-shuck rugs were a log cabin luxury. Then grandpa went hunting, and Br'er Bruin's hide was all the rage. We're still a little old fashioned about our rugs, that's why Art Loom's new "Wheatley" cotton broadloom caught our fancy. It looks like the pretty chenille-type rugs granny had in her brownstone parlor. Feel the luxurious depth, notice the thick, close weave - notice there's precious little sign of footprints, because the deep pile resists crushing. Choose it in gorgeous colors of Bermuda rose, rose dawn, blue frost, cocoa tone, palmetto green, grey haze, champagne, turquoise, empire gold, caramel, white, limestone, steel grey or balsam green. 9', 12' and 15' square yard.
