Washington Feb. 9.-On a report
from General Pershing that aviation
is not extra hazardous service, Secre-
tary Baker today submitted to the
senate military committee a bill to re-

aviation service, averaging about so
per cent.
Flying duty is no more hazardous
than duty with other combat troops
and involves nothing like the hard
ships endured by troops which occupy
trenches" said General Pershing.
"Such laws are productive of improper
balance in rank and pay, which result
/. in injustice to other arms and are no
longer necessary in order to get per-

and when aviation was in the expert
mental stages. General Foulois (com-

Baker also would create new grade
of aviator to be filled by especially
qualified civilians paid $3.50 monthly.
