W1W DIRECTION URGED
Xawley Would Have Aerial Matters
Placed Under New Cabinet
Member
.Drastic reform jpeasuic. must be
taken at once If the air program of the
United States Is not to collapse com
irtelely, according to Alan 11. Ilawlcy,
president of tho Acrb Club of America,
frtio wrote to President Wilson yesler
day, protesting 'against tho refusal of
the signal ctrps to accept further re
rulta for training as aviators.
This Is only one of the ways In which
the flying forces of the United States
are being delayed, Mr. Ilawlcy says, and
he Urges, among other things, the Im
mediate establishment of a separate de
partment of aeronautics, under the di
rection of a new member of the Cabinet.
The refusal to take more recruits Is
theprimary evidence, .Mr. Ilawlcy points
out, that tho aircraft program Is slow
ing down. Tn addition, Jio says, fac
tories that havo completed their orders
have no further work .to took forward
to and prepare for.
"Tho main cause of tho present de
plorable condition of cur' aircraft pro
gram," he writes, "was that the au
thorities In charge tried to make 20,000
airplanes do the work of 80,000."
The chief faults that Mr. lUrwIry
nnds with the present status of avia
tion in uie united States, ho
groups
unaer- iour Meads, as follows:
First. Lack of ronntrafni n.tn,i.
blllty, authority and control In the man -
asement of aerial mattem
Second. Lack of sulllclcnt appioprla
tlons to extend the aircraft program
to meet the military needs of tho Allies.
Third. Lack of touch between tho au
thorities dealing With thn Ktrnteirlr. I.Ia
of the war and the authorities lunlnc

Bet the necessary organization to extend

Hawley makes two suggestions. Theso

steps:
First, the Immediate appointment of
on assistant Secretary of the Navy to
represent the army and navy, respective
ly. In the nlrcraff board. This Is to
eolve the Immediate problems while the
second step Is being taken.
Second, the creation of a department
of aeronautics, based on tho Urltltjli plan,
which places tho air Bervlce under a
separate department' of aeronautics, tho

for several hours that the doughnuts
were lett to their own salvation, and It
was not till darkness In a covered t.pot
only a mile from the Cieiinan line that
the van of dainties was saved. The
truck was on Its way to the front to
send Joy to the soldiers when It ran
Into a ditch. A short time later the
German, guns began to rain shells near
It. Seventy-live fell In half an hour,
and the truck was abandoned
In the evening two Salvation Army
helpers with four soldleis stole out to
bring It back, but Instantly tho enemy
guns began shelling again, and the task
was abandoned a second time.
As near as oould be ilgured the Ger
mans wasted $3000 worth of shells on
the doughnuts, but never hit thoin. The
Americans here bay the doughnuts are
worth more than that, a virtually every
member of the company said, "what are
German sliolls when our triiuty dough
nuts ate In Jeopardy?"
