DENIES CENS0R|NG
OF AIR WITNESSES
House Committee Declares
No Evidence of Restraint
Has Been Found.

Taking a hand in the aircraft con-
troversy, the House naval committee
today unanimously adopted a reso-
luton declaring that, so far as its
members knew, no naval officers had
ever appeared before 1t under any
restraint whatsoever from the Navy
Department.
The resolution was adopted at the
suggestion of Repre- sentative Britten,
Republican, Illinois, who called at
tention to testimony of Brig. Cen.
Mitchell of the Army Air Service be-
fore the House aircraft committee
and to a statement by Representative
Perkins, Republican, Illinois, the air
craft committees examiner, that
three naval officers had asked to be
excused from testifying because of a
fear Of discipline.
At the samc time President Cool
idge's opposition to a unified Air
Service was reiterated today at the
White House. The President believes
that aviation should be developed as
an auxiliary arm of the national de-
fense by the Army and Navy acting
separately and that unifcation would
be counter to the present policy of
national defense.
Chairman Butler of the naval COM
mittee, who phrased the resolution
declared that in all his congressional
experience he had never known a
naval Secretary who had attempted
to dictate what naval officers should
say before congressional committees
The resolution pointed out that fire.
gently sharp differences of opinion
amcng naval officers as to policy ha
been disclosed by testimony, indicat-
ing that they were speaking their
minds.

Mr.. Lampert believes, will round out
all phases of the aircraft industry to
be surveyed by the committee.
Chairman Lampert of the aircraft
committee announced today that he
hoped to bring to an early conclusion
that committees inquiry into the air
craft situation. He indicated that he did
not favor going into all the various side
issues raised during the hearings.
Mr.. Lampert said it was impossible
to tell what the committee would
recommend in regard to unification of
the air services" but that committee
members seemed unanimous that a
strong recommendation should be made
to aid commercial aviation"
