RYAN, COPPER MAGNATE.
IN CHARGE Of AIRCRAFT
Great AirpIane Production
Program Put Under DireC-
ton of Business Man

WASHINGTON, April 25.-Direction
of the army's great aircraft production
program has been placed in the hands
Of a civilian, John y. Ryan, copper
magnate. railroad man and hnancier
Secretary Baker announced the step
last night, disclosing at the same time
a reorganization Of the signal corps un-
der which the aviation section virtually
is divorced from the corps proper
heretofore supreme on all questions.
With actual production turned over to
a civilian division headed by Mr.. Ryan,
Brigadier General william l. Henley is
made chief of a new division of mill
tary aeronautics, to control training of
aviators and military use of aircraft.
Major Central Squier, chief signal Of
fcer, will confine his activities to the
signal branch. Howard Sofin, chair
man Of the aircraft board and under
whose direction the building program
has developed to its present stage, re
tires from the board and relinquishes
the Craftsmanship to Mr.. Ryan. The
aircraft board itself created by con-
gress, will continue as an advisory
body 10y a. r. ---
Throughout all the agitation over
delays and mistakes, in getting guam
tity production of aircraft under way,
all critics have agreed that the great
fault lay in the absence of concentrated
control. The power of Mr.. Coffin and
his board was subject to the signal
corps and this divided responsibility
has been blamed largely for the fact
that the program is about three months
behind.

that resumption OF the battle found the

the allies TO pursue the aggressive on
