A l -JUL" 1 OFFIC ADMIT THEY D Separate Naval Air Corps Advocated By Witness es Before President's Investigators. Washington, Oct. 1. (A. P.) Naval air officers told the president's air board today that there Is a hesitancy among some junior officers to freely express their views before investigting bodies. Existence of this condi tion was charged yesterday by Colonel William Mitchell, insti gator of the present aircraft con troversy. It was developed by Senator Bingham of Connecticut in questioning witnesses, the first of whom, Lieutenant Commander R. R. Raunack, of the navol bur eau of aeronautics, urged creation of a separate air corps in the navy. and, recommending establishing advance school for training naval air officers. Want Separate Corns About 60 or, 70 per cent of naval filers, he said, favor a separate air corps, but the desire for an independent air service "has faded away" entirely. Much dissatisfaction exists, he continued over the present naval air organization because the pilots want control of the aviation af fairs placed Jn the hands of flying men. "The naval Ir reserve force loads a band to month to exist ence, and is short of personnel and equipment," he said. Although there is a growing tendency in favor of aviation among high naval officers, contin ued Paunaclt, they are careful to see that it does not "over-step Its bounds," at the expense of oilier naval units. Wilbur Asks Truth Before Commander Paunack bc,r gan, Dwight W. Morrow, board chairman read a letter from Sec retary Wilbur made public Mon day, calling attention to a desire by the department to have all of ficers freely express their personal views. The chairman expressed appreciation for the cooperation extended the board by the war and navy departments. He turning to the reluctance of navy officers to testify, the wit nss said this feeling was not pre valent among a great number of officers and that he believed It to be not justified. Lieutenant Commander H. T. Bartlett of the naval war college was asked by Senator Bingham: "Do you know of any reluctance by navy officers over expressing personal views?" 'Not before this board," an swered Bartlett. Before other bodies?" 11 Yes, sir." "Is the feeling prevalent or con fined to a few?" "A small number, I think." "Bear Admiral Moffett, naval air chief, hs testified," Senator Bingham continued, "that there Is unrest in the service." 'I would call It discouroge ment." said Bartlett. "Over what?" "Not progressing as it should.' Commander Bartlett endorsed a separate air corps in the naval declaring 90 percent of naval air forces favor the proposal. He expressed dissatisfaction over the present navy system of transferlng officers to the air service for brief periods. The navy he said, needs an advanced air of ficers' training school, adding that the reserve force Is inade quate.

Washington, Oct. 1 (AP) The board powers delegated to the Fleet corporation last year at the suggestion of President Coolidge were withdrawn today by the shipping board. By rescinding resolutions en trusting the corporation with ex tensive ad min Istrati ve powers. President Palmer will revert more to the poHltlon of an employe than an officer with Independent powers over many of the details of the shipping administration. In effort to settle the row be tween the board and President Palmer n referee was appointed by President Coolidge so as to make recommendations as to ac tion to be taken. The commission erg declared today their action would not run counter to the presi dent's wishes or Interfere with the study of the referee, H. G. Dalton. of Cleveland. Some commissioners who were opposed to Mr. Palmer, predicted that the latter's resignation would not be accepted at least for the present. Commissioners Benson, Hnney, Plummer and Thompson voted for the resolution stripping Mr. Palmer of his powers. Chairman O'Connor did not votp while Commissioners Llssner and Hill were absent.

London, Oct. 1 (AP) The re port from Constantinople that the Turks are calling further troops to the colors and the announcement In London that the British will maintain a strong fleet in Near Eastern waters for tho next fetf weeks are explained In British official quarters as being merely a coincidence and as having no sig nificance. As far as the fleet is concerned. It Is only engaging In maneuvers the officials say. Official spokesmen point out that the Turkish move ut nothing to cause uneasiness, but Is merely lb accordance with Turkish mili tary nollcy for safeguarding the frontiers. Unofficial observers. however, express the opinion that the Turks In calling up four clnsses to the colors are making a gesture pos slblv a bluff with the Idea of get ting a favorable settlement of the Mosul question. Theso observers nt exnress I he belief that the English fleet maneuvers In eastern Mediterranean waters may not be unconnected with a desire to "call" the Turkish hand. All quarters In London, however, agree that there Is no danger of a clash of nriys.
