Jack Dempsey was the author OF
this statement, made public today
through a letter he wrote Senator

time the heavyweight champion had
voiced an opinion on the ability
of his two challengers and, &C
cording to Lyons, It was given
without solicitation.
Dempsey thus intimated that

concede the Dempsey-W Wills bout, IL
any, to Floyd Fitzsimmonsr and the

seems, is almost on the goal line
and all is well, provided he doesn't

He may do nothing less, however,
for Paddy Mullins has demanded

more than one can go behind the

city of Honolulu, and the Army officer
was said by Gen. Mitchell to declare
that he would take the city by force IL
necessary.
The witness did not regard the
feasibility of establishing great
system of defense off the Philippine
Islands because he believed that an
enemy power in the Asiatic could
take 1t in two weeks. Alaska is far
more important than the Philippines
or Hawaii he declared, and should
be protected by air as well as land"
The first witness al the session to-
day was Senator Bingham Of Connec-
ticut. a qualified airplane pilot, and
active in aeronautical work for the
Government during the war. He de-
olared during the war he found an
extra ordinary lack of knowledge of
aviation in the General Staff and that
the staff had entirely neglected the
possibilities of aviation"
He declared 1t is his opinion that
every officer OF the staff should wear
wings just as they wear spurs today.
There is lack of sympathy for
aviators on the part of the general
staff, continued Senator Bingham. and
he cited the opposition raised by the
War Department to the continuation
of flight pay for Army airmen. In
Congress, however, the civilian and
public had sympathy for the dangers
and hardships OF aeronautics. and
granted the additional pay in recos-
milton Of the conditions under which
they worked. Senator Bingham added
that he had not heard of any change
ject He criticized the regulation re-
quiring the officers dress blouse be
worn while flying. and cited instances
of reprimand given during the war in
Europe because pilots had violated
this regulation.
