AVIATION PROGRAM
 UP WITH NE[D OF
 ARMY SAY EXPERTS
Officials Sec No Cause For Encouragement Over
 Aircraft Production.

Washington, April 9.--There is ne reason for Encouragement over the American aviation program. in the view of the officials responsible for completion of the aircraft and train ing of flyers needed by General Per shing. This, it was learned author itatively, is the feeling of war de- parmcnt heads, notwithstanding the fact that they apparently are consider ing an early reorganization ot the government aircraft production ma chinery. Failures and mistakes are conceded. but disregarding over-op- timistic estimates of a few months ago officials are not discouraged over the vital question of whether planes sufficient for the needs of the forces will be forthcoming.
 There were intimations today that a recasting of estimates, together with the actual output of the factories with in the last few days, has shown that part of the delay in the program has been made up.
 Rumors have been current for some time that a general shake-up in the aviation organization was in prospect. It was stated today however that no steps will be taken until the prelim- mary report of the special invcstiga- tion committee. The report was call cd for by Acting Secretary Crowell in advance of the full report of the com mittec and will deal with organization questions almost entirely.
 The senate military committee, which has been Investigating air plane production for some time, reach ed a final agreement upon report late today. The report was sent to the president, but will not be made public until it has been presented to the senate, Members of the commit tee said it contains no very drastic suggestions.

GEORGIA HAS $4,000, 900 OF
THE REDEEMED PLEDGES
WAR SAVINGS STAMPS.

Official information has Just been
received, according to Edward Young
Clarke, publicity director for Geor-
gia, to the effect that the treasury
department is not at all satisfied with
the showing made thus far by the
state of Georgia in regard to the
redemption of war savings stamp
pledges by the citizens of the state in
June. The people of Georgia signed
pledge cards to the amount of $685.
100000, and up to date there has
been purchased in Georgia only ap-
proximately $13,000,000 of war saw
lngs stamps. All of these purchases of
stamps have not by any means been
by those who pledged to purchase
certain amounts last June; in fact, it
Is conservatively estimated by the
treasury department that there are
approximately 100000 of unre-
deemed pledges in Georgia at the
present time. All of the records in
regard to the pledges made by Geor-
gia citizens will be Immediately gone
over and checked and the first notif-
cation to those who have failed to re-
deem their pledges will go forward at
once. If the citizens of Georgia do
not Immediately redeem their war
savings stamp pledges a representa-
tive of the treasury department will
be sent to every community in the
state and will stay on the job in the
community until all pledges are re-
deemed.
