Urges Joint Army
And Navy Air Service

Washington. March 2l.-Consolida-
tion Of the army and navy air services
for Joint development, organization
and operation was recommended to-
day by board of army and navy Off
GERS created to study the question.
The board finds that the two services
would be constantly operating together
in the event Of war with a first class
power in the coast areas, and believes
that no exact line should be cstab-
lished between the spheres of the two
branches.
It is recommended that pilots and
observers from the army and navy be
educated at joint training stations and
that both share in any airplane manu-
featuring plant operations in which the
government engages.
an general it may be said" the re-
port concludes, that IL is primarily
the duty of the army to defend har-
bors, cities and all manufacturing or
other utilities that are located on
shore. and that the operations of the
Naval Aeronautical Service will be
principally over the sea, although il
will require bases on shore. It should
be the duty, however. OF the army and
naval commandants in coastal districts
TO familiariZe themselves with the
plans of each other, with view 10
effective cooperation on land and sea. y

Swami Is Puzzled
Over Trial of Wood
Says Witnesses Against For
mer P. S. Commissioner May
Never Come to New York

District Attorney Swami, who sought
and obtained the indictment last Jan
uary of ex-Public Service Commission
err Robert Colgate Wood, on charge
Of soliciting a bride of $4,000 for a
subway signal contract, and who later
failed TO have the indictment dismissed,
is wondering now how he can bring the
case to trial before Judge Mott in Gen
eral Sessions. Two Of the witnesses
most essential for the prosecution,
Colonel Henry Prout and Sidney q.
johnson, Mr.. Swami says, may never
come to New York to testify.
johnson was the sales manager OF
the Union Switch and Signal Company.
Of Pittsburgh. who alleged that Com
missioner Wood solicited the brlbe.
Colonel Prout was president OF the
company and was to have testified to
Johnson's report to the directors. John
son is somewhere in the West. the DIS
trict Attorney says, and may come
here in few weeks.
Colonel Prout has written several
letters to the Prosecutor since Judge
Mott declined to dismiss the indict-
ment on the ground that public policy
demanded the trial Of Wood, saying he
couldn't be Of any use. The last let

He and Colonel Prout have left the

Swami last night, every mothers son
of the other directors who attended the
meeting when Johnson's report was
discussed, if called TO testify, would
say that Johnson was an accompllce
10 the alleged bribe. AS he is the only
corroborating witness we have, his tes-
timony is not likely to be of much
value if he is held to be an accom-
plice."
Mr.. Swami said he would hold of
moving the trial until the last of
March. in the hope that Johnson ut
least would return here and offer to
take the stand.
