replace the one destroyed by fire, is
rapidly nearing completion, and

on the parties having the contract to
lay the cork linoleum, which is to be
glued to the floor. In the meantime
the carpenters are at work on the
new employees building, which will
be almost a duplicate of the nurses

Letters Taken Up.
The committee yesterday took up,
in executive session, letters from Sec
rotary Wilbur and Rear Admiral
ice. both of which fatty denied
charges that the Navy Department
attempted to 'muzzle" the testimony
Of officers, and declared they were
free to express their views.
In view of Its decision to recall Gen.
Mitchell, the committee took no ac-
ton on resolution to express its
opposition to a possible removal of
the assistant Army air chief from his
present position and thereby return
him to his former rank of colonel.
For the second successive day the
subject spread yesterday to the floor
of the House, which temporarily sus-
pended other business to hear an ad-
dress by Representative McClintic of
Oklahoma, a Democratic member of
the naval committee, who charged
the Navy Department with "deliber-
ately attempting to mislead" the
country as to the facts concerning
the recent bombing of the unfinished
battleship Washington by airplanes.
Representative La Guardia. Repub-
lican, New York also entered the dis
cussion of tn. subject on the. floor.

addressed to Mr.. Lampert, said:
Since my testimony given to your

views with regard to single air

MITCHELL DEFIE.S CHIEFS
AS HE REVIEWS CHARGES

Pershing tending to show that the
accomplishment of air craft was not
as great as was believed. The state
ment cited operations In France in
which 1t was declared that aviators
brought back stories of wreaking
havoc o, the enemy which were
found exrravagant upon investigation
after the armistice. Another was tho
case of the battleship bombing exer-
cises which were held of the Virginia
capes, Gen. Persiling was quoted as
saying they were held under the most
favorable circumstances.
Speaking for the War Department,
Gen. Drum said the activities Of the
Army and Navy already overlap, and
he declared much chaos was the re-
suit of an attempt at coordination.
In efforts to support the War Depart
ment argument against a united air
force, Gen. Drum cited examples in
Great Britain, where efforts to estab-
lish a ministry Of defense composed
of army, navy and aviation were
abandoned
Explains Promotions. =.
Discussing the promotion of Air
Service officers, Gen. Drum declared
they do not get advancements into
higher grades because they are out
ranked by terms of service and be-
cause no transfers are now made from
the other branches of the service.
Questioned by Representative Reid of
Illinois whether merit or length OF
service resulted in promotion, Gen.
Drum said the law called for length
of service; that he personally pre-
ferred promotion by selection. The
Air Service is 352 officers short of
what 1T should be, and this number
could be obtained without law or ap-
preparations, but the reason this de-
ficiency has not been made up is be-
cause no transfers are being made
and chances for promotion are slim,
he said.
In the opinion of Gen. Drum it
would not be necessary for Gen.
Mitchell to become member Of the
general staff in order to increase the
efficiency of the Air Service and the
development of aviation, the general
said in reply to a question of Rep
resentative Pail of New York.
Taking up the question of bombing
and anti-aircraft Gen. Drum declared
that 1T would require 1000 planes and
3,429,000 pounds of mustard gas to
damage the District of Columbia, and
to bring about evacuation 5000
planes and 100000 pounds of mus
tard gas would have to be employed.
