Maj. Horace Hickam, commander

ing School, speaking at the American
Legion luncheon, Monday noon, al
the Gunter, said "San Antonio has the
greatest and largest flying and train
ing school in the world, which is main
ly due to climatic conditions. For
balloon racing, it far excels st.
Louis and Detroit, he said.
There has been more advance in
aircrafts since the war, than before
or during the war, he said.
ABOUT twenty years ago." Major
Hickman said, wilbur Wright of
Wright Brothers, constructed the
first ship that would fly by its own
power. Since then the world has be-
come revolutionized. and with the adj.
cent of wireless, both communication
and transportation have been quicken
ed. and the end is not yet in sight.
While warfare Of today is not COM
plete without either of these agen-
cies, commercialism finds the airship
and the wireless indispensable.
1T is possible today. with airships,
provided that nation lacks an adequate
air defense, for no matter how for
the land and sea defense of
nation it cannot protect its terri
tory, unless it has sufficient pursuit
and other planes.

major said.
Ralph Durkce past post commander
and publicity director of the San An
tonic Chamber of Commerce, said
wide publicity was being given the
balloon race: that $4,000 folders, 25,-
600 programs and $1,000 travelling
statesmen booklets had been distributed
in the interest of the meet, and that
$4,000 additional folders had been or
dered printed.
The fact that the government has a
large army post and flying fields here,
made it possible for San Antonio
TO get the national balloon race at n
cost of about $4,000, while the actual
cost is $4,000, he said:

| ing charge of the air service, mad,
substantially the same recommended
ton as General Menohcr. | approved
the recommendation and directed him
to proceed at once with the examina-
ton.
In fairness to the previous admin
istration. it should be stated that GER
tain of the negotiated settlements on
contracts for aircraft and engines were
made hurriedly. because of an earnest
desire on the part of the government
that these contractors resume their
pcace-time activities as soon as pos
siblC. Many of them had converted
all their plant facilities and their
finances to the production of war
materials.
Manifcstly they could not recon-
mence peace-time production without
being paid by the United States. This
called for some kind of an immediate
settlement. That such action was
proper is evidenced by the fact that
all air service contracts contained
provision requiring the contractors to
keep their books and records intact
and available for examination by the
United States for six years after the
of war. 1t was evidently
foreseen when the contracts were writ
ten that a sudden cessation of HOSTILE
ties would necessitate prompt settle
ments.
Upon examination of all contracts
made by the air service during the
war it was found that no further in
vestigation was necessary in the ma
iority of cases. 1t was apparent. how
ever. that thorough audit was es-
scntial In 80 of the major contracts.

of an audit which the contracts call
for and the funds available were cx-
ceedingly small. | authorized the use
of all available funds and called the
attention of the congressional appro-
priation committee TO the situation
that had developed. As result the
annual appropriation bills authorized
the sum of $4,000 to pay the cost of
the audit.
Audit Hurried Through.
AS many skilled auditors were put
to work as could be secured with the
money provided. and the audit has
been prosecuted as rapidly as possible.

be engaged. the magnitude of the task.
and the vast number of papers. vouch-
ers. etc, which had 10 be scrutiniZed.
The contracts themselves had to be
most carefully examined in connection
with the audit. as the propriety of
some of the amounts allowed in the
tentative settlements hinged upon the
Interpretation of contract clauses:
The contractors were notified
whenever the work on their contracts
had progressed 10 the proper point.
They were then permitted to present
evidence and submit arguments and
explanations on the sums allowed in
the original settlements. This involved
much work on their part and the War
Department properly allowed them the
necessary time for its performance.
After the contractors had present |
cd their side of the case on the points |
ut issue. those in charge Of the audit
drew up summary of their con-
Illusions. These included itemized
setting forth sums which
n their opinion had been allowed i'm
to the contractors in the
original settlements and showing in
ome cases unallowed sums to which
he auditors believed the contractors
Justly were entitled.
Reported Thirty-one Cases.
upon completion, the cases were
presented at a joint meeting of the

The salient facts in each case were
