TELLS OF FAILURE"
T0PR0F|T BY TEST
No Use Made of Lessons
Learned at Panama. Maj.
Walsh Says, at Trial.

Mai. Roycroft Walsh. chief Of the
finance division of the Army Air Serv-
ice late Yesterday told the Mitchell
court martial of the failure" of the
War and Navy Departments. when
the Hawaiian maneuverS were instl-
tuted, TO profit by the lessons learned
during the Panama maneuvers. he
said he was surprised on examining
the plans for the mimic war opera
tions to learn that no provision had
been made for a unified command of
the Army and Navy air forces and
learned that recommendation or
Army Air Service officials in this con-
nection had been ignored.
He corrobOrated much of the teStl-
mony given the court by Maj. Brandt
concerning the refusal of the Navy air
officials to agree to a joint attack ON
the island of Molakai, near Pearl Har-
Dor, and expressed the opinion that
this refusal. in time of war, would
have seriously affected the efficiency
of the air attack.
Holds Islands Not Taken.
In response TO a question by Repre-
sentative Reid. defense counsel. the
witness said he was not of the opinion
that the Navy captured the Hawaiian
Islands. as reported in a Honolulu

discussion ended with an agreement

publisher of the paper would be sub

recommendations that the United

tivities of an outside air concern In
Guatemala Mai. Walsh said he had

matter.
Criticizes Tests.
Lieut.. II. L. George. office chief of
Air Service and a native of Wash
ington. criticized the conduct of the
Fort Tilden. y. Y, anti-aircraft tests
and expressed belief that aviators had
been unnecessarily imperiled, as
charged by Col. Mitchell, when they
had been ordered to fly 90 miles over
rough terrain at night to participate
in searchlight demonstration at Camp
Dix, y. J.. this summer.
He objected to the methods used
by the antI-airCraft artillery officers
at Fort Tilden in tabulating hits made
by the ground guns against aerial
targets. y shell which burst in an
area Of 1880. 900 cubic feet contain
ing the target was counted a theo-
retical hit, he said. while it had been
proved by ordnance tests conducted
at the Aberdeen Md, proving grounds
that the dangerous area for a 3inch
shell such as the Fort Tilden guns
fired was only 800. 900 cubic feet.
Lieut.. George described TO the court
in detail the Improvements and uses
of bombing sights, and said the most
remarkable results ever obtained by
air bombers were recorded within the
last month in practices held at Lang
ley Field, Va. Nine bombs We're drop
ped from 5000 feet, he said, and seven
fell within circular target only 80

Testimony Draws Fire.

Repeated efforts were made by the
prosecution to keep out of the record
testimony as to a conferenc called
last Summer to discuss insurance for
flyers.
The witness testified that he was
one Of three officers of the War De
partment designated to meet similar
committees from the Navy, Post Office
Department and Veterans Bureau,
IL in all, to consider the matter
of additional insurance for flyers.
Further questioning along this line
was halted temporarily when the
prosecution sought to develop whether
he was the custodian of all the rec
ords relating to this matter, and Rep
resentative Reid said that this was
not proper, as the witness might not
have all of the records, but what he
did not have the prosecution could
produce, II it desired.
The courts at this point took a
recess until 2 o'clock, leaving the
question as to the admissibility of
such records as Maj. Dargue had
until that time.

Asked About Experience.

How much experience have you
had in dropping gas bombs from air
planes al night asked Col. Moreland.
None" replied the witness, and
the court took up questioning. Col.
Cassidy was asked if gas bombs were
dropped during the late war, and the
witness replied they were, but none
on large cities. President Howe
wanted to know what steps had been
taken 10 change any defective data
In the manual approved by the Chemi-
cal Warfare Service. which he had
criticized as incorrect. The witness
said he could not answer the question.
In reply to another he said all forms
of opposition against an airplane at
tack with gas bombs were taken into
consideration when determining how
many bombs are necessary for n given
area.
Maj Herbert a. Dargue. chief OF
the war plans section of the Army
Air Service and pilot for the past
called. He explained his duties. in
Guiding handling all matters pertaining
to war plans in which the Air Service
was concerned and also to special
projects like the world fight. He was
designated by Gen. Patrick TO work
on anti-aircraft tests and told of the
decision of n special committee last
April to fix $500 900 cubic feet as
the volume or hypothetical airplane
targets until Il more accurate figure
could be arrived at from tests then
underway at Aberdeen Proving
Grounds. The tests there, he said.

New Target Not Used.

Representative Reid questioned him
closely as to whether this new target
was used at the Fort Tilden, n.
y. anti-aircraft tests, and Maj. Dargue
replied the commanding officer of the
I'd Corps Area had been informed of
the new figure, but it was not adopted.
The witness was asked if he was
at Camp Dix during the bombing
tests there and responded that he
attended theH as an observer. He
said that the tests were to determine
whether the Coast Artillery could
eliminate and shoot down airplanes
before the latter reached their OBJ
jective.
When he was asked if there were
any orders regarding the publicity in
connection with these tests, Col. More
land interposed an objection, ami the
court told Representative Reid t. lay
down a basis for the question. When
he sought TO do this there was fur
ther objection from the trial judge
advocate. but it was not sustained.
Mai. Dargue testified that there was
an order from the War Department in
which it was said that it was the de-
sire of the Secretary of War that pub
licity in connection with these tests
be avoided. When he and Gen. Pat
rick arrived there, he continued, they
found a large number of men in ci-
william clothes who were Unidentified as
reporters. On making some inquiry
as to the reason for their presence he
was informed by Maj. Wilby that the
lid had been taken off Of publicity in
the I'd Corps Area. Representative
Reid asked him if the lid had been
taken off publicity for the Air Service
and he said that 1t had not.
Then getting down to the actual
tests, he testified that he heard six
airplanes come over the target. a
simulated ammunition dump. and drop
their "bombs," which in this case were
flares. He said that 1t was night, and
he was unable to see the planes until
after they had performed their mis-
sion, when they turned on their navi-
cation lights. In all cases, he said.
the machines dropped their flares
prior to illumination by the search
light on the ground. He said that
each bomber, according to orders for
the test. was supposed to drop his
bombs when in the targets area. Of
ficers were stationed on the ground
to insure that they did this, otherwise
they would not score a hit. Had the
bombs been dropped in accordance
with these orders in time of war, they
would have landed past the targets.
Under the rules Of the tests 1t was
miss. he said II they released their
bomb before getting within the defined
area
