Recommendation Failed.

MY recommendation was very en-
phatically disapproved by the COM
mander of the 14th Navy District, Ad-
nliral Mcdonald. He said that only
through him would orders be given
for naval operations and this resulted
in q very roundabout method of car
rying out air plans. Our recoplmenda-
tion had to go through devieus mill
tary channels before they reached
Capt. Yarnell."
At this point Gen. Howe called a
halt to the proceedings and had the
entire courtroom stand at attention
for two minutes as an ArmiStice day
tribute.
The period of silence over. the wit
ness launched into q first hand ac-
count of the controversy which oc-
CURED during the war maneuvers over
the suggestion of the Army air force
that an immediate attack be launch
ed on Il fictitious enemy air base, sup
posed to have been discovered on the
Island of Molali, 70 miles from
Pearl Harbor. Col. Mitchell's coun-
sci previously had stated that testi-
mony would be given to show that
naval air forces refused to partici-
pate in move to repulse the landing
of enemy" planes on this island.
Corroborates Charge.
Mai Brandt corroborated this
charge in detail, and offered in evi-
dence the written refusal of the Navy
in this connection. He explained
that, as commander of the Army air
force. he considered this occupation
of Molaki Island by ''the enemy" as
grave crisis, requiring immediate
attention. He said he suggested dur
ing a special air conference on the
L. S. S. Wright that the Navy air
force join with the Army in a drive
on the enemy air base. The sugges-
ton, he asserted, was turned down by
the Navy, which held that it was the
firm duty of the Navy planes to To-
cate the main fleet on a scouting mis-
sion.
They said that Molakin was not
so important as this scouting work."
Maj Brandt said. II asked them to put
their refusal in writing and they did

HOLDS BRITISH INGENUITY
WILL SOLVE LABOR CRISIS
William R. Scott, in Lecture, De-
clares Firm and Constructive
Parliament Is Needed.

Just as England brought forth the
tank, which played such a vital part
in the great war, so VIII British
ingenuity find some way out Of the
present grave industrial crisis, de-
clared William r Scott in "A lecture
on England: Can Parliamentary Rule
Solve Her Industrial Crisis?" at the
Masonic Temple Auditorium last eve
ming. The war forced many other
nations to produce their own goods
or go without, and this condition has
proved a tremendous blow to Great
Britain. The fact that British tex
tile mills can produce in six weeks
all the cotton cloth needed at home
for year shows how important are
her outside markets. he said.
Mr.. Scott said that the dole system
IS unavoidable, as there are still more
than a million workers idle. But it
IS having a serious effect, as many
workers no longer care to get posi-
tions. 1t is disastrous to energy, am
bition and initiative. Some people
already favor compulsory education
up to IS and old age pensions after
81, Mr.. Scott humorously remarked.
Mr.. Scott said that Britain is pre-
pared for a strike that might include
coal miners, railroad workers and
the shipping industry. There is a def
lIle campaign against cOHlullil!Stl
which finds an especially good field
among so many idle workers. a high
percentage of English labor takes the
view of the American Federation of
Labor that communism would be q
great blow to all classes of workers.
The lecturer lauded Englands for
eign policy, is sure that no crisis will
break up the empire, and asserted
that while a Mussolini is not needed.
very firm and constructive ParIia-
ment is absolutely essential. The
speaker has just returned from five
months study abroad and gave a
very carefully prepared, informative

DECLARES TROPICS
. CRAFT GIVEN BYRD
Lieut.. Col. Gilmore Backs
Mitchell Charges in
rt-MartiaI.

Testimony corroborative of Col
Nitcheu's charges that the MacMiI-
Ian Arctic expedition used improperly
designed planes; that anti-aircraft fire
Is ineffective: that the National Guard
and reserve flying units are neglected,
and that the Navy did not ask the
Army for parachuteS to use on the
Shenandoah, was made of record dur
ing the session yesterday afternoon.
Lieut.. Col. w. +. Gilmore chief
supply officer of the Army Air Service,
stated that the planes used by Comdr
Byrd i'll the North were borrowed by
the Navy from the Army, which had
purchased them for use in HAWAII,
the Philippines and Panama. Col.
Mitchell has charged that these ships
We're designed for use in the tropics.
Col. Gilmore also said that While the
Macmillan party was on its way
North the Army was still testing this
type of plane at McCooE Field. Day
ton, Ohio. and that during . test on
July Il serious defect had developed
in the stabiIizins ana elevattnS
apparatus.
Asked That Navy BE Warned
Representative Reid introduced in
the record a letter from he COM
mander OF McCook Field TO the chief
of the Air Service. calling attention
10 this defect and urging that the
Navy he informed of this develop
ment before the Macmillan party pro-
s.eeded any further The letter said
that tests of the plane would be
greatly delayed.
Col. Gilmore also told the court that
the Army had 1000 paraChuteS on
hand at the time of the Shenandoah
crash. and that the Navy had not re-
quested any Of these.
Lieut. Col. w q. S"hauffier of this
city, in command of the Air Reserves
for this district, t0ld Of being under
fire repeatedly over the German lines
during the last war. but of the in
effectiveness of this kind of glnfire
He said that the flying reserve group
for this district is but a paper organ

portunity tor the reserve flyers to get
together and obtain the necessary fly

that possibly 500 of the G,n00 reserve
aviators in this country could he made
lit TO fly within a week or two of
training in the event Of war. Most
of them would be useless III war time,
he declared.
Mai. Henry J. F Miller, in charge
of Air Service matters in the Militia
Bureau, told of the National Guard
flying units in various States, and
testified they suffered from INSULT
cient equipment. What planes they
have available, he asserted, We're JN

no. The operations did not simu-
late operations which would be favor
able To the defense. In wartime the
operations would extend over a long
time. The forces would have been
worn out. There was a question in
my mind AT one time whether l
would continue the maneuyers q
hours longer without calling off the
planes for repairs and to give the
pilots a rest"
Maj. Brandt, in answer TO questions
from the court, declared, in his opin-
ion, there was no question but that
the Island of Oahu could be defended
against attack, although in the maneu-
NerS il was the general impression
that the airplane had been defeated
and the island captured.

that they were not consulted about

Mai. Brandt declared there were
deficiencies in the Hawaiian maneu-
vers. and he placed the commanding
general of the Hawaiian department
directly responsible, although it was
indirectly the fault of the system.
