AIR INQUIRY BOARD
INVESTIGATION OPENS
A Wide Conflict of Views Is
Developed During the

Washington, D. C,--The presidents
special board, opening its inquiry into
Americas air power, brought to the
public view wide conflict OF opinion
in the war department as to the rela
tive Importance and position Of air
craft to other units Of the national de
Tense.
The board heard those charged with
the administration of the army dis
cuss the policy fundamental ground
work and prospects for its air service
about which Acting Secretary Davis
said there was no cause for alarm, de
spite the fact that 1t was operating
with inadequate equipment and was in
need of additional funds.
Although Mr.. Davis and two Of
his highranking officers vigorously
opposed the creation of department
of national defense with a directing
head of all air forces, which has been
urged by Colonel William Mitchell
this proposal drew the favor of Major
General Mason NJ. Patrick, chief of the
army air service.
General Patrick said he believed
such department would ultimately
be advisable in the system of national
defense, but in the meantime the air
service should be made "semiautono
NOUS" with position similar to that
of the marine corps in its relation to
the navy.
Maintenance of the navy air service
organization in substantially its pres
ent form was advocated by Secretary
Wilbur before the presidents air
board.
The position of Secretary Wilbur in
favor Of maintaining substantially the
present organization for naval avia
ton was supported before the board
by Admiral Eberle, chief of naval
operations.
