M.P.FRIENDLY,
BALDWIN, SAYS
Policy Of Road Toward
Not to be Changed by
l. c. C.. Decision

Interviewed briefly, following the
close Of the hearing at Brownsville
both President L. w. Baldwin of the
Missouri Pacific Lines, and Executive
Vice-President H. R. Stafford of the
Gulf Coast Lines and the International
Great Northern said that, regardless OF
the outcome in this case in which the
S. A. & A. p. seeks authority to con
struct an extension in the Valley, the
policy of the Missouri Pacific railroad
system, including the Gulf Coast Lines
in the Valley will continue to be as out
lined by President Baldwin in the open
ing statement in his testimony in this
case, when he said:
s***I would like to say that it is
perfectly natural for people to desire
another railroad, especially those not
familiar with the problems of railroad
transportation, which it is offered with
out cost. Such an attitude is to be ex-
peeted, and l wish-it to be perfecly
clear, that it is not resented in any
way by myself or associates on the Mis-
souri, Pacific systems**
Mr.. Baldwin and Mr. Stafford also said
that, while they are opposed to the s.
A. & A. p. extension for definite eco
nomic reasons it will be the purpose
and determination of every member of
the Missouri Pacific and Gulf Coast
Lines organization to work wholeheart-
edly for the continued development of
the. territory.
I'VE want to keep our service all
that it should be- they said, land all
the people Of the Valley want it to
be, and we want to be helpful in any
other way. we can in bringing about
that continued development which this
section deserves, in order that we may
continue to merit the friendship, con-
fidence and cooperation of the citizens
of the Valley"

ARMY, NAVY IN
AVIATION PROBE
Appropriations Wasted
in Purposeless Expe-
rimental Orgy, Head
Scion Committee Says
'(By the Associated Press)

l WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct.f12.-Ths
army and navy were charged tocay by
Chairman Madden of the house appro-
millions of dollars lin purposeless,
meaningless, endless experimental orgy" !"
in technical aircraft development.
Testifying before the presidents air
board, which resumed hearings after
a recess Of several days, Mr.. Madden
declared technical DEVELOPMENT Of ayia-
tion could not longer be safely left"
to the two military services if the
United States was to take its place
among the countries of the world in
the air. :"
If credit is to be given witnesses
who have preceded me" he asserted,
the experimental and development wosk
conducted by the army and navy since
the war has been productive Of very
little, if any, advance toward plan
which might be accepted by congress.
You have been told by men who
should know that, with few exceptions,
no real steps have been made" he said
Citing testimony by Major General
Mason nj. Patrick, chief Of the army air
service, that 262 pursuit planes pur--
chased by the army have been found de-
ficient in vision requirements, Mr..
Madden said he had heard something
of charge of criminal negligence, but
that borders on criminal waste"
Waste General, He Says
"Trink of buying 262 pursuit planes
that a pilot has difficulty, in seeing
out of" he exclaimed.
Failure of the army and navy to
spend their money 'intelligently' in the
service" he declared, is not unique, as
similar extravagant, get-no-where pro-
grams are being carried out in tank
development, artillery development,
chemical warfare and ammunition de-
velopment."
Mr.. Madden submitted plan for pro-
noting army and navy aviation at cost
of $87,500,000 which, among other
things, woul provide for discontinuance
of all aeronautical engineering and de-
sign work by the two military services,
with the abolition of the naval aircraft
factory at Philadelphia and the army
engineering aircraft division. He would
place all designing and construction of
planes in the hands of private manufac-
turers with the responsibility Of per-
formance under design, and with the
military services furnishing only the
specifications desired.
