Genl. Drum, Assistant Chief
of Staff, Denounces Scheme
of National Defense De
nies Air Service Discrimi
nated Against by U. S. Army'
WASHINGTON, Oct. 13. (A. P.)
The army general staff presented to
the president's air board today a
statement In rebuttal to witnesses
who' have urged sweeping changos In
the national defense organization.
It denounced as "unsound" the pro
posed department of nntlonal defense,
asserted . that "direct administration
and control" of the army ulr service
actually does rest "in the bands of
the chief of the air service," and pre
sented a general denial of charges of
mismanagement In the administration
of the air service itsell'.
Presented by Brigadier General
Hugh A. Drum, assistant chinf of
staff, the statement, covering 61 type
written pages, was prefaced with the
remark that the "war department has
considered with painstaking thorough
ness and care the various propositions
and views presented to tho bouid."
"The main proposals," It added,
"have been studied in one form or
another hofore, during, and since the
world war, consequently the war de
portment bas crystallised Its views on
air service organization Into sane,
definite and well thought out policies.
These views were concurred In by the
chief of air service, Major General
Mason M, Patrick." ,
The "wore" In the last scntnncn of
the above quoted paragraph was
underscored in the official text of the
statement: ' 1 - '
Air Views Unsound.
"If Is believed," General Drum
testified, "that the Idoss expressed by

tions along our frontier Is to be di
vided Into three 'theaters of action.'
sea, air and land, each with a separata
commander, responsible for natlonat
defense In his respective theater.
The general staff also was said to
view as "unsound" the prop'isal for a
separate air corps within the army,
urged by General Patrick as a step
looking to creation of tho defense de
partment. ,
Urging thai air units are essential
to an army and must hn an integral
part thereof. General Drum added
that "we must not be blinded to the
sacrifices of the American doughboy."
"The prance of horses," he con

whir of airplane propellers cannot re

Every desire known to tho human

Clovernor Pierce recited . that the
Oregon commission ! had 'sought to
ohtaln a cross-stato lino from Crane
to Odell and that a line be built south
from Bend to open up a large region
of the stato now without rail trans
portation. He emphasized the need
of development in tho torrltory
