COURT IS Baked
BY PRlvATE'S WIT
Claims Officer Was "Encased in
Sedan" Hence Not to
Be Saluted.

An Army Air Corps private soldier
has created q legal problem which has
left special eourt-marial board at
March Field, Riverside, Calf, in q
Quandry.
The private was on trial for being
asleep on post, his accuser being the
officer of the day, who testified that
he made an inspection at dawn and
found the soldier apparently asleep.
The soldier denied vehemently that he
had been asleep, but admitted that he
had made no effort to get up from his
seat and salute the officer.
The soldier admitted that he knew
the requirements of the Eleventh Gen.
eral Order, requiring that all officers
and standards not cased must be sa-
luted, but also admitted he had made
no effort to salute the lieutenant,
though he had recognized him. Asked
why he had not saluted, the soldier
replied:
'Sir, the Eleventh General Order
specifically states that you are to salute
all officers and colors and standards
not cased, and, therefore, I could see
no reason why should have jumped
to attention and saluted the lieutenant
when he drew up to my post. the
lieutenant was caSed, in that he was
inclosed in a big sedan"
Members of the court, according to
O report to the Air Corps news letter,
were undetermined as TO whether the
soldier was the dumbeSt individual in
the world or one with very clever
analytical mind.

80 MAKE SOLOS AFTER
8-H0UR INSTRUCTION
d. G. Air Legion Students Come
From Various Parts of
United States

The average dual instruction time for
80 students Of the D. c. Air Legion, To-
cal private flying club, before they were
ready to solo, or fly alone, has been
eight hours, according to study of the
flight records by T. j. Waggy, legion
manager. All 80 of the students soloed
during the past year.
While most of the members who
learned to fly during the past year were
residents of the District of Columbia,
Is giving this city as their home, 2
were from West Virginia. from Vir-
ginia, / from Finland, from Denmark,
5 from Maryland. from Iowa and /
from Wisconsin.
''It Is also interesting TO note" said

Of two members, all Of these flyers
learned to ny while holding down reg
ular positions to pay their living and
flying expenses.
"In order to do this, the legion has
started flying every day possible at
daybreak and flown until dark, thus CIV
ing the members an opportunity to do
their flying before and after work. AS

There are only eight States In the
Union credited with more licensed air
craft transport pilots than the District
of Columbia, according to a survey Just
completed by the aeronautical branch OF
the Department of Commerce. The
District has 100 pilots listed by the de-

pilot rating. A majority of them are
Army and Navy pilots who are main
tanning civil ratings though not en-
gaging regularly In civil aviation activi-

ATTACK ON AIRDROMES
TO GET FIRST TEST
Twenty Condemned Planes Turned
Over to Experiment This Week
at Camp Stanley.

The effectiveness of attack aviation
against hostile airdrowes will be de-
termined by the Army Air Corps this
week at Camp Stanley, San Antonio,
Tex, 20 condemned planes having been
turned over for destruction in the tests.
This will be the first time any test OF
this nature has been undertaken by the
Air Corps, it was announced.
The tests will begin about Saturday.
when a squadron of ID attack planes
from the Sd Attack Group, Fort Crock
EFT, GalvestoNj Tex, will be assigned
to the attack. Twenty of the con-
demned planes will be used to repre-
sent a squadron atrdrome in war time.
The attack planes will launch sue
cessive assaults, employing small frag-
mentation bombs and 100-pound de-
molition bombs, to determine the ef-
fectiveness of these missiles in the de-
Struction of aircraft on the ground.
Tracer machine-gun ammunition then
will be used to test the incendiary eff
feet against airplane structures and
gasoline tanks.
