CHANGE SOUGHT
IN AIR CORPS

Assistant Secretary of War Davi-
son, in charge of aviation, in his
annual report says that Congress
should solve the promotion problem
in the Army Air Corps this coming
session and save the morale of the
corps, which is seriously impaired. .
mo other branch Of the Army is
as adversely affected as the Air
Corps by the so-called World War
hump" said the report. ''In addi-
ton to that, junior officers are
performing duties all out of pro-
portion to their rank, and fire.
quently they are of very hazard
Gus character.
"The result Is that the officer
morale Is seriously impaired, and a
solution by legislation should be
effected at the coming short session
of Congress.
Dawson states further that the
present enlisted grades and ratings
are not suitable to Air Corps or
ganization, and the tables of or
ganization for the corps are now
being revised.
Army aviation is becoming safer,
according to the report. which states
that an analysis of accidents shows
the record made last year is worthy
of recognition. The air corps flew
49,, ,9OS hours, or over $4,000 900
miles with but 81 fatalities. This
means that 677, 400 miles were flown
to each fatality.

upon a football game. Mr.. Cocke
looked over the playing field in this

a good playing field. His old home is
at San Benito, and during the time
that San Benito had such good anna
teur baseball teams in II, rs, 10, 20

Captain Robert O'Bryan Of the
Brownsville Eagles played one of the
best games of his career here Fri

center. He was in on every play,
and made some beautiful tackles.
His passing the ball was flawless,
and he is a very popular member Of
the squad.
Carroll Grove. left end on the To-
cal football squad of the high
school squad, is filling that position
! IN great style. He IS playing much
better than he has IN past seasons.
His tackling and blocking is par ex-
cellence. He is fast and smart.
Donna was beaten Friday BY a bet
ter ball club-but they weren't whip
ped and fought just as hard in the
last few minutes Of play as they did
when the contest opened. And the
Redskin line is the best the Eagles
have been up against this season.
But Donna is noted for its crack
forward wall of last season and this
one undoubtedly will keep that rep
intact.
