CONFIRMS SUSPENSION OP
REPORTER OF FIRST FLIGHT
Washington.?Thirty years ago tho

R. Newton, who at the time of
his death last March was tax commissioner
of the Borough of Queens, tor

that the Wright brothers bad remained
aloft tor an hour and a half in, a
Hying machine.
Until recently Assistant Becrotary
of the Treasury, Stephen B. Gibbons
felt that bin friends doubted bin veracity
when he told them that story.
At last, however, he in able' to dofy
doubters by presenting documentary
proof.
A letter to Gibbons from A. W.
Drinkwater, telegrapher who set up
the wire for Newton at Mautee, N. C.,
near where the successful flight was
made, confirms the fact that Newton
drew a suspension for his pains.
Drlukwuter now is senior telegrapher
in the Norfolk division of the coast
guard. He had told Gibbons of New
1 ' ' 1 1 1 ' '
ton's suspension. Gibbons "wrote htm
asking for proof when, ke iQUMd iklli
his friends were as incredulous of the
paper'H action as the i^apdt-'s editors
were of Newton's story,
Drink water Inclosed ft letter from
Newton, dftted July 18, 1937, in which
the latter explained he would be unable
to attend a celebration at Mantee
commemorating the successful
i flights of the Wright brothers.

He recanea now Drlnkwated had set
up -the wire. for him when he was
"sneaking up on the Wright brothers,"
and Added:
"Fuaay old world* lau't it? Ana
how fast it has traveled since those
days twenty-nine years ago when you
and I saw aviation born in the jungle
down there by the ocean!"
Newton was one of Gibbons' predecessors
as assistant secretary, serving
in that capacity under former Secretary
McAdoo.
