Wilbur.

WASHINGTON. Feb. s. The
house aircraft committee which is
considering charges that army and
navy officers are gagged by their
,superiors on questions of military
policy was informed by Secretary
Wilbur today that naval officers are

Lampert, of the committee,
they are perfectly free to state fully
and fairly all facts within their
knowledge not of a confidential or
secert character, and 10 fully ex-
press their opinions on any matters
into which your committee desires to
inquire"
The committee was told yesterday
by Representative Perkins. Republic
can, New Jersey. that three naval
officers had asked to be excused
from testifying because of a fear of
disciplinary measures and that he
had been informed that Rear Ad-
mlral Moffett. the navy's chief Of
aeronautics. might lose his post be-
cause OF his persistent efforts for a
larger air force. Mr.. Wtibur's letter
was placed before the committee at
a session called to consider a reso-
luton which would express dissent
from any plan to deprive Brig. Gen.
Mitchell of re-appointment as assist
ant chief Of the army air service.
The reappointment is being held
up by Secretary Weeks. pending an
explanation of some Of the generals
