WASHINGTON, Dec. 10 (A. P.)
Expenditure of $20,000,000 annually
for five years to aid development of
aircraft for the army and navy is
recommended In the report of the 8)e
cial house aircraft committee a,s
agreed upon toduy.
The recommeudallons, which con
template a national defense program
coveting sea, land and air, wore con
curred in by all members.
Representative Held of Illinois, court
tuurtlul counsul for William Mitchell,
will file u complete brief advocating

The ...pnmoBuil. department .of nn.
tlomil dofenso would supplant tho
present war nnd navy departments,
and would not necessarily lvo nvla
tlon an equal stntus with land and sea
arniiimcnts. Other comnilttoo recom
mendations Include:
A sepnrato budget for all aviation
activities.
A bureau of civil aeronautics in the

The roport also recommends that
experimental and development work
now done at the naval aircraft factory
at Philadelphia and at McCook field,
Dayton. Ohio, be transferred as far
as possible to the bureau of standards.
It does not, however, ask for the clos
Ing of the factory or of McCook field
work.
Legislation Is asked to provide a
.way for InventorB in the aircraft In
dustry to Bocure redress for Infringed
patents other than in the court ot
claims.
' The army and navy are accused In
the report of failure to give proper
recognition to aviation as a factor In

The new secretary of national de

such steps as necessary to bring nbottt
complete co-ordination of all defense
forces. A proposal 'to provido for
three sub-secretaries, with authority
over land, sea nnd air activities was

Commercial aviation Is hold In the
report to bo of prime importance ns

the proposed bureau of civil aeronau
tics' would be directed to take all steps
necessury for commercial air develop
ment.
The $20,000,000 to he spent annually
