EXPERTS WILL STUDY
RECENT MR TRAGEDY
By Ralph H. Turner
(United Ncwh Staff Correspondent)
WASHINGTON, .May 31. As a re
sult of America's worst pence time,
tragedy, In which seven men lost
jtheir lives, congress probably will
be urged to' conduct a thorough inves
tigation Into all phases of American
aeronautics its organ l.nt Ion, Its ade
quacy for defense and the promotion
of commerce and thy form Its future
development should take.
Brigadier General William Mteliell.
assistant ,'dlrector of the air service
and the active head of that organiza
tion, already has urged that "air coin
mlttees" bo named In both the senate
and the house, so that those bodies
may learn the facts of Ui present sit
uation and malco recommendations
for the future.
"The tragedy last Satniduy," Gen
eral Mitchell said Sonday, "exempli
fies the necessity of a national organ,
izatlon of aviation. We must develon
u national air policy.
"The crash of the huge Curt Iss
plane, when it .struct? n storm, d in-
strates the need of establishing stir
ways, landing fields and airdromes
throughout the country. Between the
airdromes landmarks should be lixe-l
to guide the filets. Particularly do
we need accurate weather reports.
These should be sent out hourly, both
day and night for the guidance of air
men." , The recent accident was unavoid
able, under the circumstances, Ml
chell said.
"It was a good ship and the occu
pants were all aviation experts," be
said. "Somo get through anil some
don't. It's always been that way. You
ran't eliminate accidents In the air
any more than you can avoid looses
at Boa, but you can minimize them."
deficiency cannot be attained In
either military or eomtnerclal fllng,
according to Mitchell, until the United
States Is thoroughly mapped for avia
tion purposes. It is only !() percent
mapped at present he declared.
General Mitchell was concerned
over America's air position, from the
standpoint of national defense.
"Great Britain enn put 401) planes
In the United States within seven
days," he said. "Kveryono knows
that except us."
.Britain, he said, has 3,(100 airplanes
In active service and In the reserves.
He estimated America did not have
more than 400, Japan, he declared,
was organizing an air division or l.L'OO
ships and was buying all the modern
types being produced in ICurope, I low
ever, ho did not believe Japan could
attain an efficient air force In less
than five years.
Mitchell's solution is the establish
ment of a separatu depart men) of the
air, which would formulate and direct
the national -air policy.
A board of Inquiry lias been named
to conduct a formal Investigation of
tho recent accident and submit a re
port. This Is not expected to differ,
however, from the preliminary proV
which declared the crash was unavoid
able and that the pilot was free of
blame.
WAR NURSES TO FARM
N FAR NORTH COUNTRY
Hy United Press '
EDMONTON, Alta.. May .11 For
young women from ?,1 on trail, all
overseas nurses during t lie war, have
to Spirit HIver In the Grande Pi air
ie region of northern Alberta to farm
cooperatively. They were spurred to
the adventurous enterprise by the
success which thousands of former
soldiers have made upon the land.
Efforts were made to discourage
them from ploneeilng Into the new
north country. Hut. their answer was
that after their three-years' war ex
pu'rienoe, pioneering has no terrors
for them. Two Misses McLean, Miss
Ellis and Miss MacNish comprise the
luartette.
What they plan to do Is to file
homestead of 1G0 acres each, mak
ing a total section, to which will be
added another section of free grant
md by reason or toeir overseas
service. They will live together and
farm their land cooperatively. They
propose to do their farm work with
heir own hands and before leaving
Cdmonton equipped themselves with
overalls, riding breeches, boots and
other masculine paraphernalia.

ASKS INVESTIGATION
OF NAVAL SCHOOL
By John Gleissner
(United News Stnff Correspondent)
WASHINGTON, '.uay 31.--Wenator
'omerene of Ohio has announced
lis intention of Introducing a reso-
ullon providing for an investigation
of the methods of instruction In the
Annapolis Naval Academy. Informa
ion worn! I bo sought as to w-hy 110
midshipmen "Hanked out" in the
March examinations.
Methods of teaching at Annapolis,
'omerene charged, are inefficient.
nd unjust to the students. In
structors, lie said know little about
he subjects they are expected to
each, and are unable to Inform
indents sufficiently to enable them
o pass examinations. j-omeieni:
would have the Inquiry made by
three members fo tho senate, throe
nembers of tho house and three
well-known educators.
Discussion of Annapolis came up
upon the floor In connection with
the consideration of an addition to
he naval appropriations bill offered
by Senator McKellar of Tennessee,
which provides for the renomina
tion of midshipmen dismissed for
ailing in t licit- examinations. Tho
senate adopted the amendment.
I'omerene read into the record a
letter from William II. Zlmmer of
Hoekhurst, N. Y., a naval reserve
officer, citing the experience of bis
nephew sit the academy. Zlmmer
said bis nephew was dropped for
falling by two Jentbs of a point to
pass in an examination in rrnech.
The boy, according to .Humor, was
in lienor graduato from Rochester
ligh school, has passed all exumlna-
Ions at tho aendemy for tlireo
ears, and stood especially high in
navigation.
