(United Press Staff Correspondent)
WASHINGTON, Dec. 14. — (IP) — Secretary of the
Navy'Wilbur today answered criticisms of the navy and
its aircraft policy through his annual report, declaring in
substance that all is well.
Wilbur absolved the department of responsibility
for the Shenandoah disaster 6y stating that Lieut. Comdr.
Lansdowne, who perished with the airship, was express­
ly told that he could “ defer the trip,‘change the itiner­
ary, or abandon it altogether if in his judgment such
changes were rendered necessary.’’
“ The development of naval aviation has progress­
ed during the past year with satisfactory results in spite
of many difficulties inherent in the refinement of a new
art,’’ the Secretary said.
“ Aircraft operating with the other coordinate arms
of the fleet are vitally essential to modern naval opera­
tions,’’ but, he added, “ must be closely coordinated with
the plans and maneuvers of the fleet organization,’’
Referring to the surface fleet, Wilbur stated that
the Hawaiian maneuvers and Australian cruise were “ a
practical demonstration of the fitness of the navy.’’
