SHAKING UP OF THE FLYING
CORPS May mean SEPARATE
ARMY BRANCH FOR AVIATION
COL Goodier, Brig. Gen. George P. Scriven and
Lieut. Col. Samuel Reber Censured- Com
mittee Appointed to Study Reorganl-
cation of the Aviation Section

directed by Secretary Baker.
Col Goodier's case was only INCL
dental to the general shake-up OF the
aviation section, although hearings IN
that trial, held at San Francisco sew
eral months ago served to call atten-
ton to the conditions that resulted in
today's orders issued.
After his son, Lieut.. Lewis e. Good
Ter, Jr, Of the coast artillery had been
injured while studying navigation at
San Diego, Col. Goodier, according to
the testimony, made every effort to
GUST Capt. Arthur S. Cowan from his
post as commandant of the school, and
also attacked the aviation section In
letters to brother officers, many OF
which found their way into print.
The reorganization and the disciplin-
ing of Gen. Scriven and Col Reber
were recommended By the board of Of
ficers appointed to inquire into the
facts disclosed at the Goodier trial
Senator Robinson of Arkansas intro
duced recently and the Senate passed
a resolution calling for COMPRESSION
al investigation Of this subject. He
presented letters to the military COM
mittee rejecting on Col. Reber's man
sgement of his office as chief of avia-
ton. The resolution has not passed the
House.
Capt William Mitchell, signal corps,
now assigned to the general staff, has
been designated as temporary chief of
the aviation section. Lieut.. Col. George
o. Squire, signal corps, attached to the
embassy in London, has been ordered
home for duty. 1t is assumed that he
will either go to the aviation school
at San Diego or succeed Col. Reber as
| he has had much experience with air
| craft work abroad.
Soon after Congress took up the sub
ject of army aviation Col. ~Reber was
badly hurt by fall at his home here.
He is still in the military hospital.

catan commission, announced that the

Alexander Legge, general manager o.
the International Harvester Co, intro.
duced a statement denying that his
company had any interest in Irvine ex.
cept to supply it to the farmer at the
lowest cost, with a reasonable manu-.
facturers' profit in order to increase
the advantages and economies of the
company's machinery.
THE increased price Of sisal already
made will compel the American farmers
to pay over $5,000,0o0 more for binder
Irvine this year." said he
Mr.. Legge declared his firms only
relations with the Plymouth Cordage
Company were those of a competitor
The open market in sisal," said Mr.
Legge, has been destroyed through the
influence and finally through the direct
coercion Of the military government Of
Yucatar. Every planter must deliver
his ssal to the commission which Is
appointed and controlled by the military
government
IF the government Of the United
States permits this monopoly Irvine
manufacturers can continue to do bust
ness but the increased cost will come
out of the consumer"
