The board heard those charged with the administration of the army dis cuss the policy, fundamental ground work and prospects for its air service, about which Acting Secretary Davis said there was no cause for alarm, de spite the fact that it was operating with inadequate equipment and was in need of additional funds. Although Mr. Davis and two of his high-ranking officers vigorously opposed the creation of a department of national defense with a directing head of all air forces, which has been urged by Colonel William Mitchell, this proposal drew the favor of Major- General Mason M. Patrick, chief of the army air service. General Patrick said he believed such a department would ultimately be advisable in the system of national defense, but in the meantime the air service should be made “semi-autono mous," with a position similar to that of the marine corps in its relation to the navy. Maintenance of the navy air service organization in substantially its pres ent form was advocated by Secretary Wilbur before the president’s air board. The position of Secretary Wilbur in favor of maintaining substantially thu present organization for naval avia tion was support* <1 before the board by Admiral Eberle, chief of naval operations.
