AVIATION CORPS
Measure introduced by Hay

Especial to The Times-Dispatoh.1

Especial to The Times-Dispatoh1
washington, May 21.-Among the
many hundreds of bills which have
been introduced in Congress since last
December, many of which will never
be considered. is one offered by Con-
gresham Hay, OF Virginia, chairman
OF the House Committee on Military
Affairs, which Is likely not only to
receive favorable consideration at an
early date, but to be enacted into law
as soon as the House committees are
organized and In working order.
Mr.. Hay desires to increase the EN-
cheney of the aviation service of the
army. and the manner In which he
would do this will appeal to persons
who are interested in the welfare OF
usefulness increased. The Aviation
Corps to be established, would be COM
posed of one officer with the rank of
major. two with the rank of captain.
and thirty with the rank of lieuten-
ant. They would serve as directed
from time to time by the Secretary of
War. No officer would be detailed to
this corps unless he shall have dis
played special skill and ability as a
military aviator.
While officers are on duty In this
work they would be entitled to re-
ceive an increase of 90 per cent in tho
pay of their respective grades.
In addition to the officers mentioned.
the Secretary of War is authorized to
detail for service to this corps such
enlisted men ms may become qualified.
and they also will be entitled to re-
ceivo an increase of so per cent In
pay.
1t is provided that there shah be an
aviation school for the instruction of
officers and enlisted men, both Of tho
regular army and OF the organized NIL
litia Of the various States. The avia-
ito nschool would be located and main
tanned at n military post owned by the
United States and not within the Dis
trict OF Columbia, and this headqunr-
tiers may be changed from time to time
in order to meet climatic and other
conditions.
There is not the least doubt in the
minds of those interested in this bnl
that there is much need for an avia-
ton corps just rs there is for a med
ical. a pay. or other branches OF the
army. They hope to secure favorable
action as soon as It's terms are fully
understood p II. MEG
