WASHINGTON, Nov. 9O.-Chair- man Fred A. Britten, of the House Naval Affairs Committee, declared that his suggestion for confer ence of his committee and a Brit ish r a r Ii a mentary Committee should in no way interfere with the Sonate's passage Of the pend- ing cruiser bill. He said con- struction of b cruisers, which the measure authorizes, is needed.
 Congressman Britten said he had not received reply to his cable gram to Prime Minister Baldwin proposing a conference between the two committees in Canada after March 1.
 Little reaction occurred in off cial circles in Washington over Brltten's suggestion.
 Secretary of State Frank B. Kel- logg said he had no knowledge of the plan.
 Senator Claude A. Swanson, of Virginia, who is ranking Demo- crat Of the Senate Foreign Rela- tions Committee, described tho plan as a revolutionary course which he is al loss to understand, pointing out that the constitution empowers the President solely to conduct negotiations with foreign nations.
 Brltten proposed conference to discuss sea power between the two nations on all classes of war yes sels not affected by the Washing ton Arms Conference.

During the calendar year 1929 two
brigadier generals of the Medical De-
partment, one veterinary officer and a
medical officer of field grade will be
retired for age. The two brigadier gen.
erals who will be placed on the retired
list of the Regular Army next year are
Frank r. Keefer M. D., who is now on
duty as assistant to the Surgeon Gen
eral Of the Army in charge of the plan
ming and training division, who will re-
tire on October 10, 1929, and James M.
Kennedy, commanding officer of the
Army Medical Center, who retires on
December 4, 1929. Col. Robert Vans
Agnew, V. c., now on duty at
Fort Oglethorpe. Ga. is the veterinary
oficer who will terminate his active
military career next year, the date of
his separation from the service being

There has been but one change in the
conduct of the annual physical eXami-
nation OF officers and warrant officers of
the Regular Army. which for the 1929
calendar year will begin shortly after
the first of the year at all posts and sta
tions. In the past. officers with chronic
defects not disabling for active military
service and not requiring or amenable
to treatment in general hospitals, such
as various types of impairment of hear
ing, have been ordered to general hos
pitals repeatedly after their annual
physical examinations. The War De-
partment instructions governing the
conduct of the 1929 examination have
directed the medical officers making the
examinations to make a careful inquiry
regarding previous disqualification and
the benefits resulting fnerefrom. and
unnecessary disqualification with the
expense incident thereto, will in the

often thought of these aspects of
the air mail when as a mail pilot l
flew between Chicago and st. Louis.
The service is changing rapidly and
bringing many changes with it. The
old type of pilot is going, and new
type of flyer who depends on his in
struments is coming in, but the mail
goes on just the same, always ex-
pandlng in Importance, forming the
nucleus of a great system of air
transport

many of whom are left, we're splendid
type of pilot. Getting the mail through
then depended entirely on the pilot and
his skill, his knowledge of his ship and
his flying instinct The planes we're
not suited to the work, there were few
of the instruments now in common use,
and 1t was hazardous career.
There was little outside assistance
for the man who flew through fog and
sleet and wind, day and night, that the
mail might go through. 1t was up to
him. Many of them were killed In old,
obsolete ships; some of them were
burned to death because of faulty con-
struction. There were no parachutes,
and miDhap in the air meant death.
And, unfortunately, the Organization
when it was first formed understood
neither the mail service nor mail flying.
That has all been changed Now
better ships are used some of them
built especially for mail use. There is
a better meteorological service, so that
Evening star., 1928-10-28

it is possible to know definitely what is
ahead on the route. although 1t still Of
fers much room for improvement. The
ground organization is efficient, motors
can be depended upon, and good para
chuteS make it possible to leave a plane
in safety If something happens which
makes Jump necessary.
The pilot Is also becoming a differ
ent type of man. The old pilot, used to
flying by instinct, distrusted his instru-
ments and the new methods of naviga-
ton. But the mail pilot of the future
must be a man who will be able to use
instruments for flying through all kinds
of weather, and be able to correlate the
mass of information given to him. He
must know how to make use of radio
beams and beacons and to trust them
The pilot of the future will be more
like the captain of ship than the
daring, adventurous flyer who built up
the air mail in its early days. Flying
Is becoming more and more mechanical,
and 1t must be so if safety and eff
cheney are to be achieved. I do not
mean that pilots will ever require less
training-tfey must be skilled men and
good fiyers-but they must be tech
nicians and navigators as well.
This is particularly necessary be-
cause of the growth Of passenger flying
which is following in the path of the
air mail. There are several air mail
lines which are beginning to meet the
demand of the public for" passenger
service, and this movement will go
ahead rapidly as proper ships are built.
1t is grave question as to whether
passengers and mail should be carried
in the same plane.
In good weather Il may be possible.

to feel bound together with ties of
mutual interest. The legislation for
the benefit of California will be just as
much benefit to the man from Massa-

at San Francisco two days out from

Boeing, the Western airplane manu-
facturer and operator of the Western
branch of the transcontinental air mall
has Just completed some 12-passenger
planes to be flown between Chicago
