General Patrick Puts Blame On
Congress Service Crippled
by Lack Of Funds.
BY SEARS TAYLOR,
international News service.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. 1NOtNS CC&NA1Gs
Approximately so per cent Of
the airplanes now in service in
the army would be totally unfit
for use in actual warfare.
The present peace time organ
ization Of the air service affords
not even. the foundation upon
which a war time air force could
be built.
Efficient operation of the air
service has become impossible be-
cause Of continued reductions in
every class of personnel.
The establishment of new fly
ing fields to fulfill the Strategic
requirements of national defense
has been practically impossible.
Patrick Makes Report.
These sensational revelations were
contained today in the annual re-
port of Maj. Gen. Mason M Patrick,
chief Of air service, to the Secretary
OF War.
General Patrick, in a lengthy re-
port, painted a gloomy picture Of ex-
listing conditions in the air service
and laid the blame solely to lack of
funds. He viii lead a strenuous cam
paign during the coming session of
Congress for relief in the form of
greatly increased appropriations.
According to General Patrick
great majority of the airplanes now
on hand were produced during the
war and are rapidly deteriorating,
and even when completely recondi-
toned have but a very short life. Ac-
cordingly, 1t is absolutely essential
that the purchase of new aircraft to
replace the obsolete wartime models
and to offset the constantly increas-
ing shortage be undertaken at once.
Since it requires about eighteen
months to secure delivery, it is ap-
parent that no relief from the present
situation can be expected before
1926,
Appropriations now being made
for the purchase Of new aircraft are
insufficient to meet the requirements
CT even the present Inadequate peace
time establishment of the air serv-
ice," says the report.
DecrieS 1nadequacy of Industry.
General Patrick decried the lack
of an adequate aeronautical indus
try in the United States and declared
that in time Of war such an indus
try would necessarily be the back
bone of the procurement program.
The solution of this problem, he
says, lies in the development of
commercial aviation through the
timely enactment of suitable legisIa-
ton and in the judicious expenditure
of such funds as may be appropri-
ated for the support of Government
aeronautical activities.
Continuing, the report says:
1.-THE operation of aircraft for
commercial purpose in the United
States has unfortunately advanced
little, If any, during the last year.
The Aeronautical Chamber of Com
merce estimates that approximately
1900 commercial aircraft, the same
figure as for 1921, were in opera
ton, losses and depreciation being
compensated for in the new con-
struction and in the release by the
Government of additional equip
ment.

old New York millionaire and his
pretty young wife, Helen Elwood
Stokes, former Denver society
belle, were today officially wiped
off the calendar Of American
courts forever.

Mrs. Stokes, through a signed
agreement with her husband, was:
III Granted a separation from her

In return for this Mrs. Stokes

Further provisions in the signed

Indictment Standing.
The only action left pending is
a charge against Stokes of "con-
spiracy to defarne his wife, brought
by a Cook county grand jury at
Chicago
This agreement has not, in any
way been based upon a stipulation
that the criminal charges in Chi.
cago are to be dropped" Samuel
Untermyer, chief of Mrs. Stokes
counsel, said in court this morning.
Despite this, it was understood an
effort was to be made to have the
Indictment dismissed on the ground
that the Stokes case has been q pup
lie scandal for five years and that to
eliminate it from the American
courts, in every form, would be to
the public interest.
Instantly the agreement was signed
and Justice Wasservogel's decision
announced, the court was showered
with congratulations.

Recommendations to Congress
from the report of the special
Senate committee investigating
the Bureau, it was learned today.
In addition, the committee will
ask the Department of Justice to
investigate charges Of graft,
waste and corruption, which have
been alleged by witnesses, with a
view to determining upon possible
criminal action by the Govern
ment.
Report Is Being Prepared.
Preparation Of the report is going
ahead rapidly under the direction
of Maj. Gen. John r. Organ, COM
mittee counsel.
1.-THE glaring defects in the adj
ministration of the bureau and the
care of disabled veterans demand q
drastic cleanup" Senator Oddie of
Nevada, a member Of the commit
tee, declared today.
1.-THE trouble seems to be not so
much with graft and irregularity
as with the deplorably ill-advised
manner in which the bureau itself
is organized and functions, and with
some of the incompetent personnel.
The organization of the bureau
makes for graft and cowardly neg
lect, because Of the seemingly ir-
responsibility Of many of the
officials.
"Tons of dynamite should be
| ignited to blow all of the in.
competency out of the bureau"
Oddie said.
FavOrs NOn-P Olitical Board.
Oddie opposed the proposal of
| Secretary Of War Weeks to place
the bureau under the direction Of
g. Cabinet officer, for instance, the
Secretary of the Interior, but de-
| clared he had in mind a recommen-
dation for creating a non-political
board, modelled after the Interstate
| Commerce Commission to supervise
| the activities Of the bureau.
There is altogether too much
politics in the bureau now" Oddie
continued. IF we can remove DO
litical influence and substitute a
non-poltical board, or impartial
| officers, think the way will be
opened to speed up efficient hand
ling Of the cases Of former service
| men,"
Too often, Oddie said, the att:-
| tude Of bureau officials is anti

| Most of the officials there put

compensation"
Would Allow For Attorneys.
To relieve this situation, Oddie
declared the committee was con.
sidering proposal, which could
allow veterans to secure, at a
reasonable cost, the services OF
competent private lawyers, to han
die their claims in the bureau
1.-THE bureau now has a system

Grams, but too often, these Govern
ment lawyers under the direct con
troll of the bureau, do not have
the interest and welfare Of the
claimants at heart, and, therefore
cannot secure satisfactory results,
OGdie said.
The committees recommendation
for a housekeeping will be general
"nrging," Oddie said, General Hines
director of the bureau, to go the
limit in wiping out incompetent Of

places high-class men who are thor
