Existence of a power trust seeking

charged yesterday by Senator Norris,
Republican, Of Nebraska.
Senator Norris, who will renew his
fight this session for Government

declared the trust ''is the same special
interests that are insisting now that

velopment of Muscle Shoals along

power trust is too powerful for either
Of us to expect to overthrow"

troll the flood waters Of the Mississippi
Valley, we are going to run up against
the same power. the same trust, the

FURTHER GROWTH
OF AIR CORPS.URGED
Need Is Stressed by Gen.
Patrick in Sixth and Last
Annual Report.

The belief that further expansion of
the Army Air Corps will be recognized
as necessary, even before the present
five-year aircraft building program is
completed, is expressed by Maj. Gen.
Mason NJ Patrick, air chief of the
Army, in his sixth and last annual re-
port. The general retires from Office
December 49,
During this six-year period I am
satisfied that there has been crafty
ing and progressively better under
standing on the part of other branches
Of the role aircraft will play in time of
war;" Gen. Patrick said. Likewise.
there is a clearer conception on the
part of the Air Corps personnel as to
the way they must cooperate with
ground troops.
1.-THE adoption of the five-year pro.
gram and the gratifying certainty that
it will be carried into effect is note
worthy step in advance. This assures
to the Air Corps within reasonable
time equipment of the most modern
design and construction.
at is believed that by that or before
the time when this five-year program
is completed. it will be recognized
that further increase of air strength
will be necessary and fully warranted
by the part which aircraft will play
in warfare"
Gen. Patrick concluded his report
with a tribute to the loyalty and
efficiency of officers Of the Air Corps
throughout his administration and to
chose of other branches Of the Army
who. as they have studied the matter
realized the effect which this new arm
would have upon strategy and the
battle tactics of the future
Aside from this personal aspect,
the report was devoted to an outline
of the work of the year in various Air
Corps activities and contained no
specific recommendation for the
coming year.
