By EDWARD Ww. PICKARD OL. WILLIAM MITCHELL'S pet scheme, the creation of a separate department of deronautics, received many sharp blows during the first week of the henrings held by the Pres. {dent's special aireraft board, For the army, it was opposed by Acting Secre- tary of War Davis, Maj. Gen. Mason M. Patrick, chief of the army alr serv- fee: Major General Hines, chief staff, and Brig. Gen. Hugh Drum, sistant chief of staff. For the vigorous objections were volced Secretary Wilbur, Admiral Eberle, chief of naval operations; Admiral Moffett, chief of the hureau nauties, and Admiral Strauss general board. Incidentally, as of the Colonel tive service, Mr. Davis told the board American people that there need for fear the cond the nation’s alr forces” the service would be quickly put in ex- cellent shape if congress would grant larger appropriations, General Patrick, though opposing a separate aeronau tics department in the cabinet, did fa- vor the consolidation War and Navy departments into a department of national defense; furthermore, he supported the Shurges made by Colo nel Mitchell, that the of an adequate alr froce has been hampered by higher officials do not comprehend its vast Importance.

He stated he had no attack planes. In ion, he has 40 obsolete planes and has 306 fit for use planes, pursuit additi Asked just what Is the matter with the alr service, General Patrick re. plied: “The air service Is not treated as a real member of the family. Our recom. mendations are frequently ignored and our motives questioned. The fact is that the development of the alr arm has lessened the Importance of every other arm of the national defense “Alrcraft reaching out over sea have minimized somewhat the need of const defense. “Scouting far in advance, they have made cavalry less necessary for recon naissance, “Conducting operations far beyond the range of land guns they have made artillery less Important, and even the infantry, the backbone of the army. “80, coming Into being as it has, the alr arm has not been welcomed. The recommendations for Its development must be passed on by officers belong: ing to these various other arms whose Importance Is being minimized by the new force and they-—well, they don't realize the Importance of the new weapon. It was a long time before 1 could get any recognition of the air force In the War department.” Generals Hines and Drum disagreed with General Patrick as to the su- perior Importance of the alr force to infantry, cavalry and artillery, In the matter of congressional appropriations, Representative Vinson of Georgia, a member of the board, asserted con. gress had voted all the alr force funds the War department had asked for. EXT the navy came to bat, and Secretary Wilbur led off with the declaration that to divorce the aeronautics arm from the navy arm wollld be “a well nigh Irreparable mls. take.” Admiral Eberle asserted that adoption of the Mitchell proposals would "bring disaster to nstional de fense Interests”; and Admiral Moffett ergued that because of the Inthuste rinls, 2 w president of the President's special alr- League of Nations vessels av of fu jconbeetion between naval naval alreraft in battles, the fighting sen it would be suick to take away from the and put it in a separate department, cha in 141 aviation navy “Such a nge which plan of national defense, he expl “The department is strategically, tactically and cally The organization of a air service would fatally complicate national defense problen This has been amply demonstrated abroad Commander J.
