U, S. AIR CORPS
DIVORCE FROM
ARMY is URGED
Sky Service Soon May Be
Separate Arm, With
0Wii AuxiIiaries.
BY MAURITZ A. EALLGREN
United Press staff correspondent

united RreSS SCdn correspondent
WASHINGTON, July Military
aviation soon may come into its own
as an independent factor in the ma
ticnal defense scheme of the United
States.
Although the plan advocated by
Brig. Gen. William Mitchell for a
separate aeronautical department
continues to face strong opposition,
it was learned at the War Depart
ment today that serious considera-
ton is being given proposal to
divorce the air corps from the
Army.
The movement is said to have
been stimulated by the unprec-
edented progress in military avia-
ton the last two years.
Under the suggested arrangement,
the air corps still would be. tech
nically at least, under the War De-
partment's jurisdiction and would
continue to cooperate with the other
combat units Of the Army, although
the corps would have no direct re-
lations with the Army.
The corps would have it's own
auxiliary services, including quar-
termaster, engineering and similar
units, and would have virtually
complete control over its own affairs.
Aviation officers are laying the
paper" groundwork for the antici-
pated change, although without
specific authority to do so, the
United Press is informed.
