Itupld Improvements '
While condemtiini; chiefly failures
under the former aircraft production
board and siunal corps control unl
noting treat improvements since John
I). Uynn and Major Kcaly were placed
in charge of the production and mili
tary branches, the committee strong
ly urircs "one man control" in fie
future. Part of this blame for poor
organization at the start is assi"iiccl
to dissension.
The sub-committee praised much
that has been nccompli-hcd and pre
dicted "we arc aiinroai hiu a period
when ipmltitv production of planes
soon may be hoped for." The report
is impersonal and says all instances
of dishonesty or official corruption
are left to the department of justice's
inquiry, conducted by Charles E.
Hughes.
The Dayton-Wright and Curtiss
companies are declared lo have been
given "great advantage over Iheir
competitors.'
