RAPID ADVANCE
MADE BY filters,
SAYS PATRICK
Annual Report Praises Air
Corps of Army for
Efficiency.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-Rapid
increase in efficiency Of the Army
air corps during, the last year was
described by Maj. Gen. Mason M.
Patrick, chief Of the corps, In his
annual report to be made public to-
day.
Patrick, who is retiring on ac-
count of age, summarized his report
as follows:
1.-THE adoption (by Congress) of
the five-year program and the
gratifying certainty that it will be
carried into effect is a noteworthy
step In advance. 1t is believed that
by or before the time when this
program is completed it will be
recognized that a further increase
of air strength will be necessary
and fully warranted by the part
which aircraft will play in warfare.
Great Gain in Six Months
"Six years ago there were prac-
tically none but war-built planes
or planes constructed according to
wartime designs. During this pc
Rod there has been a great improve
ment in aircraft and aircraft en-
gines."
The commissioned officer strength
Of the corps was increased during
the fiscal year to $50, gain of for
ty-one, including two brigadier gen.
erals and a lieutenant colonel. In
addition thirty three West Point
graduates were assigned to the
corps. The enlisted pilot strength
was reduced to forty-f1ve.
Satisfactory progress was report
ed in development of air bombs and
plane guns and their accessories.
Reliability Stressed
During the fiscal year suitable
service planes have been produced
in four types-pursuit, observation,
training, cargo-and a large amount
of experimentation expended on the
bombardment type" Patrick said.
Addition of brakes to all types but
primary training planes ana the
possibility Of the use of air-cooled
motors in all types of planes, were
cited as new developments.
structural characteristics Of air.
planes remain practically I'M
changed" he added. 1.-THE general
policy in effect at present is to
stress reliability"

CONGRESS-
RULES LAKES
Hughes Favors Chicago;
Action Up to U. S.

BT United Press
WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-Con-
gressional action to reduce Chicago'S
diversion of Great Lakes water
through her sanitary canal is ex-
pected to be sought this winter, as
a result of Charles Evans Hughes
recommendation to the United
States Supreme Court for dismissal
of suits to attain the same end.
Hughes, as special master, re-
ported to the court that the matter,
a question of vital Importance to
a half dozen Lake States and
Canada, was entirely within con-
gressional jurisdiction.
James M. Beck, congressman elect
from Pennsylvania and counsel for
Chicago in the case, said he was
"gratif1ed" at the decision. Par
ticularly important, he said, was
the ruling that the Federal Gov
eminent, not the Lake States, con-
troll the Lake waters. It was on
this that Hughes based his con-
clusion that the War Departments
permit authorizing Chicago to take
out 8,700 cubic feet of water a
second was legal, inasmuch as Con-
gress has not acted. 3

Colorado Fight.

DENVER, Nov. Ex-Governor
William H. Adams today renewed
his attempts to end the I. W. w.
coal strike in Colorado.
After coroner's jury in Weld
County had exonerated State police
of any blame for the deaths of five
coal miners in the Columbine mine
battle last Monday, Adams an
nounced peace negotiations would
be resumed.
The Governor revealed that plans
to take the strike before the Colo
RADIO industrial commission were
nearing completion when the clash
Monday upset preparations and ne
ceSsitated calling out the militia.
After listening for seven hours to
conflicting stories OF the Columbine
battle, the Weld County jury de-
cided the miners were invading
mine property after they had been
warned legally to stay away.
State police and miners, some
wrapped in bandageS, miners wives,
and State officials who witnessed
the battle told the jury their YER
sions of the incident.
STATE officers declared that no
machine gun was used.
Miners insisted that the bullets
came too fast to be fired from pis-
tolls or rifles.
