Plenty of Men For
Aviation Service; Extra
Allowance Not Necessary
By Associated Press

Washington, March 13. - In appear
ing before the Senate Military Com
mittee to-day to explain proposed
amendments to the National Defense
act, mostly technical matters of Army
organization, Provost Marshal General
Crowder, as the legislative represen-
.tntive of Secretary Baker, urged Con-
gress to hasten action on scores of
Army bills pending, especially that
amending the selective draft law.
Passage by the Senate this week of
the draft bill, changing the basis of
selection from state populations to
the number of men in Glass l and re-
quiring registration of men attain
ing 81 years of age since June last,
is expected, Senator Hitchcock, acting
committee chairman, told General
Crowder. Other Army bills. he said,
are scheduled to follow it in the
Senate.
Legislation to abolish the extra al.
lowance of so per cent. in pay to mer
in the Aviation service was approved
by General Crowder, who detailed the
reasons given by General Pershing
Secretary Baker and the Genera
Staff-that aviation is not more
hazardous than other branches of the
service, according to the percentage
of fatalities, and that there now /:
no difficulty in securing men for avia-
tion work without the attraction of
extra pay.
