Guard organizations OF the United
States would have TO organize aviation
units within a shoFt time, a govern

hart thought, would not exceed si5 000.
II the government grant is accepted
the city or State must supply pilots

hart proposed that Wilmington take
this action, on the understanding that
the Curtiss Company would furnish
the necessary personnel. This is being
done In many cities, he stated. In re-
turn, the company would expect TO
charge a fee for the tuition Of militia
students. 10 have the free use Of the
government appliances. 10 sell Cu-tiss
aeroplanes on the Aeld, and 10 give
civilian instruction.
