tegrity and sincerity of purposes,
knowing that he has a burning
desire to fittingly and properly

tions Go Uncha|lenged,
Witness Says.

Col. William Mitchell's numerous
references to non-fying officers in con-
troll of aviation units in the Navy
again were answered before the Presi
dents Air Board this afternoon by
Capt. H. c. Yarnell. comma nding Off.
Ger of the aircraft squadrons scouting
fleet, and who was naval air officer at
the Hawaiian maneuvers.
Aviation" declared Capt. Yarnell.
has always been in control of air
officers. and If there is anything
wrong they are responsible.
Broad charges have been made
against officers Of whom I am one,
and I cannot let them stand unchal-
lenged.
THE ocean is no place for amateurs.
If our naval aviators are not seamen
they will be of little use in any naval
operation.
"If it is true that our aircraft are
inferior to those of other nations just
how the situation will be remedied
by placing those same designers in
corps by themselves is not clear"
Officers Views Differ.
Expressions of dissatisfaction in
naval aviation and of the desire for
permanent aviation duty continued
from four naval flying officers, who
also testified at the morning ses-
sion, three of whom emphasized the
need of a change in existing condi-
tions and the fourth standing solidly
for the present system with slight
notifications.
The officers who testified in favor
- s1;v o1yin
Lieut.. Comdr. Marc A. Mitscher. chief
of the plans division, Bureau Of Aero
nautics; Lieut.. Comdr. A. c. Davis,
chief of the armament section of the
bureau, and Lieut.. Wallace NJ. Dillon
The fourth officer, whose testimony
differed widely from that offered
from any of the other officers before
the board, was Lieut.. Donald NJ. Car
penter, in command of the ground
school, Naval Air Station, Pensacola,
Fla.
Secs Preferred Class.
Lieut.. Carpenter, the first to testify,
declared he was opposed to separate
air corps because that would set up
preferred class in the Navy, and add
ed his belief that the corps Is unnec-
essary. Naval aviation today is run
too much like a corps" he said, land
the Bureau of Aeronautics should re-
main material bureau. Officers
should be detailed to the other bureaus
in the Navy who are experienced in
aviation, but these bureaus should
have charge of plans, training detail
of officers, etc"
The witness, who said he had about
500 hours in the air. charged "snob-
bishness and conceit" had existed
among naval aviators which for want
of a better word might be called the
aviator's complex" he explained. The
aviator Is toe much concerned about
i displaying his skill as a pilot and is
not giving enough attention to the
duties Of a naval aviator. You GER

Dog Remains King of Arctic Wastes.
Planes Failure, Says Macmillan

1t was found necessary to ascend to
a height Of 1000 feet above the low
lying clouds. This made it impossible,
of course. to find any landing place
not obscured by clouds.
"Of course the planes this Sum-
mer met with far worse conditions
than were to be expected and the
weather was never suited for flight.
The planes covered in a day lands
which had required weeks to traverse
with dogs, but I still am Of the opin-
ion that the dog is king Of the Arctic
and that more can be learned when
he Is employed"
The Macmillan ship, Bowdoin.
which arrived today at Sydney, Nova
Scotia, plans to remain there only
a short time and will proceed to a
point off Halifax to join the other
expedition ship, the Peary. The two
then will proceed to Monhegan. ar
irving there by Friday afternoon. and
reaching Wiscasset, Me-, early Satur-
day morning.
Plans covering the proposed move
ment of the ships were received to-
day by the National Geographic So
ciety from Comdr. Macmillan.

SYDNEY, Nova Scotia, October g.
The conviction that airplanes are not
practicable for use in the Far North
was expressed by Comdr. Donald B.
Macmillan after the arrival of his
schooner Bowdoin here today on the
return from his Arctic expedition.
"The dog Is still king of the Arc
tic" said Macmillan. who arrived
here today on the Bowdoin. There
are still many things he can do that
cannot be done by any other method
of transportation. AS the result OF
this trip I am convinced that planes
are not practicable for the Far North
and that If air transport is to be used
1t must be the dirigible.
1.-THE planes will be useful in the
exploration Of the interior Of Lab
rador and Baffin Land, or, in fact, any
land south of the Arctic Circle. The
great difficulty with planes is in land
Ing. We had hoped to tf1nd landing
places, but failed. 1t was necessary
always to land on the water. No
plane has yet been designed with a
landing speed OF less than 40 miles
an hour, and to attempt landing on
water strewn with field ice at such
a speed is sure destruction for the
plane.
Then. too. in the overland flights
