EMMONS BACKS
PATRICK IN
AIR ROW

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 2.-Major
d. c. Emmons, acting commander of
the Ninth Army Corps Area airplane
base here, today stood among the
critics of the country's air combat
equipment as a result of his declara-
ton that the army's airplanes here
were useless for combat and unfit
for service and that he agreed with
Major General Patrick in favoring
unified air service"
There are now but fifteen regular
combat planes and ten junior planes
in the whole area Major Emmons
asserted, -and all of them are worth
less
He said these planes constituted the
chief air defense west of San An
tonic.
The air officer said he heartily
concurred with Major General Pat
rick. chief of the army air service
in his recommendation for a unified
air service and other changes in flight
management in the military service.
The planes in this area" the air
officer went on. ARE unfit for aero
battles and consequently unfit for
combat. FITTING them against a foe
would be like pitting a man with a
% caliber rifle against a man with
40. They have no range or speed
and are OF obsolete design

Mistaken Policies.
By ths Associated Press.

SEATTLE, Wash, August 81
Representative A. NJ. Free OF Cali
fornia. ranking member of the House
committee on merchant marine and
fisheries, who arrived yesterday from
Alaska, announced that he advocated
abandonment of the Government rail-
road in Alaska, built for $4,000 900,
on the ground that it was costing
more than it was worth
Running from Seward to Fair
banks,'' he said, the railroad serves
a population of less than 5000. The
cost of maintaining it each year Is
approximately $500 per person of
population along its route
Won't Pay Interest.
Free declared that not including
payment of interest on it's bond or
sinking funds, the railroad has cost
the Government $2,000,000 a year in
maintenance, and that the future held
nc prospect of a reduction.
When asked what remedy he would
risgest, he said:
Pull up the rails and make a high.

force.
Land of Mistaken Policies.
Free said that his 0,0Oo-mile in
spection tour convinced him that
Alaska is a country of mistaken
policies"
Forestry and mining regulations are
other mistaken policies" that should
be altered, he stated. These regula-
tions, he held, were unnecessarily
stringent and are throttling the two
industries.
The salmon industry will be on
permanent basis within three or four
years, Free declared. The greatest
menace to the fisheries now, he said,
are organized gangs of pirates.
