Tillamook, Oregon.
Washington, May 2.—Sensational
news charges of criminal profiteering
in America s billion-dollar aircraft
program produced a turmoil of indig­
nation i.i the senate this afternoon
and precip.tated a torrent of demands
for a thorough investigation with a
view to criminal prosecution by the
Military Affairs Committee.
During the debate several members
of the Military Affairs Committee de­
clared in favor of reopening the in­
quiry recently concluded by the com­
mittee. Senator Hitchcock, of Ne-
braska, acting chairman, said the
committee was without power to deal
with criminal prosecutions and that
the department
of justice should
_____
handle the phase of the matter.
Upon hearing of the Senate discus­
sion, Attorney General Gregory stat­
ed the Department of Justice would
be glad to investigate the entire air­
craft production situation upon re­
quest by the President or Congress.
He also said the department would
welcome any complaints of specific
cases of viclation of law, either by ex-
travagent use of government money
or in connection with attempts to ob­
struct the
building program and
damage machines.
Plain Language Used.
Senators did not mince words dur-
ing the debate. Senator Hitchcock, of
Nebraska, declared that the aircraft
board as constituted before the re­
cent reorganization had “played a g;
gantic confidence game upon the Am ­
erican people in the creating of the
Liberty motor.
Senator ing, of Utah, said he had
been told by an officer of the govern­
ment that “somebody ought to be
shot” for the breakdown of the air­
craft program. He declared his belief
that a crime had been committed and
demanded "branding and pillorying
of those who have betrayed the coun­
try and deceived the president.”
Senator Poindexter, of Washington,
laid the blame at the door of the sec­
retary of war for failing to order the
shooting of the officers who have
charge of the aircraft program.
.
May Be Another Probe.
The Senate outburst began with
Senator Brand.gee, of Connecticut
read in the record r. telegram from
Gutzon Borglum, the sculptor, com­
missioned by the president to investi­
gate the aircraft program. Mr. Bor­
glum charged that aircraft production
was “still in the clutches of the ring”
and predicted that no headway would
be made by John D. Ryan, the recent­
ly appointed head of the Aaircraft
Board, under present conditions.
Later in the day Mr. Borglum con­
ferred in secret session with the Mili­
tary Affairs Committee and laid be­
fore it a vast accumulation of evi­
dence he gathered while investigating
the airc a.ift program. He remained
with the committee for several hours.
At the end of the conference Sena­
tor Hitchcock, the acting chairman,
said that it had not been definitely de­
termined by the committee whether
he begin an investigation at once. Its
decision would be governed, lie said,
by developments during the next few
days. If certain persons named by Mr.
Borglum could be persuaded to ap­
pear as witnesses the committee
would go ahead with the inquiry, he
said.
Government officials were not
spared during the debate in the sen-
ate.
Senator Poindexter, of Washington,
referred ta the criminal law against
accessories to crime and to state­
ments regarding aircraft production
made by Secretary Baker, asked: "Is
not the secretary of war the man him­
self that ought to be reached by the
committee if it is seeking to hold
someone responsible?”
"I believe the Secretary was as
completely deceived by officials in
charge as was die committee.” Sena­
tor Hitchcock replied, adding that the
Secretary Lad reorganized the avia­
tion personnel and thus indicated his
lack of cj.ifidcncu of those displaced.
He reiterated, that the department of
Justice and not the Senate committee
should investigate criminal aspects of
the situation.
"An investigation by the committee,
I believe,” he aided “would only im­
pede the Dcpar.meat of Justice.”
Senator Knox, of Pennsylvania, Re­
publican, suggested that criminal as
well as civil responsibility in expendi­
ture of the aircraft appropriations al­
so should be fixed.
“There are charges of conspiracy,”
he said, "that indicate misuse
taining of hundreds of millions
lars of the people’s money.”
Senator Hitchcock said the recent
aviation report of a majority of the
Military Affairs Commitee had given

A minority of the committee, Scna-
or Hitchcock said, refused to sign
the repert because they felt that it
should be submitted first to the Pres-
idnet.
Aircraft Board Attacked.
Senator Kirby, of Arkansas, of the
committee minority, said he did not
join the majority because its report
was not complete and did not give "a
fair view” of what had been accom­
plished in aviation work.
When the bills providing appro­
priations for aircraft construction
were pending before Congress, said
