Investigation Into delay In the air
plane program bae begun by tho een
ato military committee behind cloaed
doom, after dlacuialon In the aenate
which culminated In the auertlon by
Honator Overman of North Carolina
that part of the trouble waa due to
Herman plea la the Curtfu plant,
which haa cstenelva government con
tracta. Members of the committee were
pledged to secrecy, and Chairman
Chamberlain annonnced that no'stste
ment would be Issued until the In
quiry had been completed.
Benator Overman said allho he
would make no charge agalnvt any
one employe of the Curtis concern,
there were spies there, and were he
secretary of war he would comman
deer the plant and put In new em
ployes. A brace ued In the construc
tion of airplane frames, from which
a plero of metal had been removed
and lead Inserted, so as to weaken It,
was exhibited by the senator aa a
sample of spies' work.
The first machine tested at the
plant fell, ho said, and an Investiga
tion showed ths) this tampering had
been the cause. A delay of two
months followed, while government
Inspectors want over every airplane
part, In order to replace parts which
spies had weakened.
