DEFENSE
Worthless Against Air Attack.
Asserts Con. LaGuardia at
Aircraft Probe

& { 4
The charge that all Of Amer
ica's coast defense stations "are
absolutely worthless was made
today before the House Aircraft
Investigating Committee By Com
gresham LaGuardia Rep.l Of
New York. LaGuardia was .
flier in the A. r. +.
Every cent that Congress APP
propriates for the ar1ny's coast
defense stations is money thrown
away" said LaGuardia.
Not only are the stations "obso-
lete," declared LaGuardia, but
would be worse than worthless
against enemy air attack"
All Officers Know II
There is not an officer In the
army who viii not admit that our
stationary coast defenses are help
less and worthless" added La
Guardia.
I.aGuardia further charged "the
general staffs Of the army and navy
with retarding airplane develop
men," and of withholding tnforma-
ton on air bombing tests from
Congress.
The committee Immediately acted
upon LaGuardia's charge and
adopted unanimously a resolution
ordering Secretary of War Weeks
to present at once full data on the
bombing tests on the battleships
New Jersey and Virginia in No.
vmeber, 1921.

months to get the report on these
tests, and / haven't been able to

LaGuardia.

A doleful picture was painted by

them, to defend our coasts and pos
sessions; otherwise, our frontiers
will remain vulnerable"
RidicuIes "Anti' Guns.
LaGuardia vigorously challenged
statements of War Department
officials who have declared before
the committee that America could
be defended from air attack by
anti,aircraft guns.
"That is bosh," said LaGuardia.
"In my squadron, only one man
was brought down behind enemy
lines" said LaGuardia. Give any
aviator q parachute and a cast
iron seat in his plane and he can
bomb any territory protected by
anti-aircraft guns
LaGuardia Suggestions.
LaGuardia offered three concrete
suggestions for developing aviation.
They were, briefly:
1. Unity the air service under an
Independent department in the
Government.
2. Provide Federal aid for assist
ing commercial aviation.
8. Develop a flying reserve.
"Cut out this controversy be-
tween the army and navy by
uniting the air service" said La.
Guardia. Compel the army to
