Washington Ruleau Of N. E. HeraldO
 Washington, D. C., Aug, 1S.-Be- ltoNlng that the United States is ex- tromely backward In developmnet of aviation since 1t was invented by Americans, Senator Hiram Bingham of Connecticut has prepared a legis- lative program which he will submit to Congress in December providing for extensive Improvement of avia- .t1on along military and commercial lines.
 This proposed legislation is the re- .sult of an Intensive study Senator
 Bingham has made of all branches O: aviation since Congress adjourned last April. In the course of this in- vcstigation he visited every active Army and Navy aviation center on the Atlantic and Pacific. all the in- land aviation training schools, posts and factories, and the aviation out posts in Alaska.
 Most of his iourneying from one military post to another was done by airplane. Tn the course Of this ser irs of flights Senator Bingham had opportunity to test the efficacy of al- most every type of plane and motor
 in use by the Army and Navy. Being an experienced flyer of nine years continual experience Senator Bingham Is better able than proba- hly any other man in the Senate or House 10 prepare practical pro-
 gram for legislation affecting avia-
 ton, His convictions concerning the needs of American aviation develop ment come from experience, obser- vation and study, and not from hear say.
 Colonel Bingham began actual fly ing as pilot In Florida as soon as Ithe World War began in Europe. Long before America has entered
 the war was he organizing aviation camps for the War Department in which aviators were 10 be trained and after the United States entered
 the war he was sent to France and commanded the big school for Amer
 ican flyers at Issodoun
 The eight most pressing needs for

Negotiations Suspended Until Tomorrow When New American Proposal, Emhodying Some Con- sessions, Will Be Taken Up
}g The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press
 Washington, Aug. 12.-Negotia- tions between the American and Belgian drbt commissions were sus- pended temporarily today to permit the visitors 10 receive instructions from Brussels as to a now Belgian offer.
 A roply ts expected overnight and the commissions agreed 10 meet again tomorrow. At that time they will have before them also new American proposal, cmbodying some concessions which were presented today 10 the Belrians.
 Reject [. $. Proposals
 This now ground upon which 10 continue their cffcrts 10 reach An agreement was made necessary by the rejection hy the Belgian of a proposals put forward yesterday by the Americans in counter 10 that of tho visitors previously found unac- c"ptahle to the American govern mcnt.
 Ask Total Reduction
 The Belgian government has asked that the total of the debt be re- duccd through a computing of ac- crued interest at a rate lower than the Al per cent at which the Brit ish debt interest was figured. but no agreement on that point has been reached.
 The only agreement so far dis closed is that for a brief moratori- nm. The commissions remain quite far apart on the other questions in- volvod but both sides are hopeful of an agreement without prolonged discussion.
 Before the joint sessions were re- sumcd, the American commission was called to consider additional viewpoints developed yesterday at a group discussion participated in by Chairman Mellon. and Senator Shoot, republican,, Utah, for the American commission and Ambassa- dor De Cartier and former Premier Thcunis for the BPlgians.
 Still Far Apart
 While official statements regard ing the negotiations continued to be withheld, there were clear lndica- tions that the commissions are some distance apart on the funda- mental basis of Belgium's capacity 10 pay and consequently on the de- tails such as interest rates and an nual payments on the principal of tho s4Sn GOO, 00O debt.
 There has hccn an agreement on the question of a brief moratorium for inc debtors hut If the number of years this is to run have been determined the fact has not been made known.
 The Americans recognize that Bel gium must have additional time in which 10 bring it's financial situation more nearly to a normal basis.
 While the Americans today were not as optimistic as they were he fore the rejection of their counter proposal they still were hopeful tha; an agreement could be worked out after the positions of the two gov ernments had been presented more in detail.
