Army AIR service
FACES DEPLETION
Seriously Hampered Due to
Lack of Promotion LeyisIa-
ton, Gen. Fechet Reports.

The Army Air Corps Is being ham
pered seriously by personnel difaculties,
resulting from the resignation of ex-
perienced flight leaders, shortage Of
officers, and restrictions thrown around
the training of reserve pilots, Maj. Gen.
James e. Fechet, chief Of the Air Corps,
said today In his annual report.
During the past fiscal year, ~ AIR
Corps officers resigned from the service,
new high record, Gen. Fechet said.
Since 1921, when nine officers resigned,
che number of designations has in
creased each year because of lack of
proper promotion legislation. Many
of1cers who have received tempting
offers from commercial air firms, Gen.
Fechet said, are remaining in the SER
vice In the hope Congress will enact
relief legislation dealing with pay and
promotion.
Gen. Fechet said, there now are only
y officers actually engaged In lighter
than-air operations.
Reserved Training Hampered.
Reserve training has been hampered
by q clause in the Army appropriation
bill limiting such training to combat
pilots, Gen. Fechet said. AS a result,
though there are about 1875 officers In
the Air Corps Reserve, Gen Fechet said,
there are only 200 qualified for i'm
mediate combat duty with tactical units
Of the Air Corps.
The efficiency of a majority of Ma
tional Guard Air Corps units has been
materially increased during the past
year, Gen. Fechet reported. The total
number of units was brought to 10 by
recognition Of, the new 44tn Division.
Corps Strength Below Total.
The commissioned strength of the Air
Corps Is below the total authorized.
There are 1855 officers, though 1874
are authorized. The enlisted strength
totals 12,032, including 378, which is
only slightly less than the authorized
strength of 1906 and which represents
Q net increase during the year of 1,142.

SQUIRE HITS BACK
 AT SECY. BENSON
Says (, N, t. Units Are as Great
 Asset as (, Of (.

Captain W, W T. Squire Of Com pany ], 169th regiment, today is sued 3. statement expressing resent ment at q bulletin sent out 10 mcm- bera of the Chamber of Commerce by Secretary Benson last week claiming that the rights Of the profits from the sale of tickets for this event have been sold to two in diViduals for nominal sum and the individuals will receive all profits from the sale Of tickets in excess of that sum- He called the Chamber of Commerce bulletin misleading and with little attempt to conceal sarcasm intimated that the National Guard units are as great an asset to the city as the Chamber of Com merCC.
 Captain squire's statement fol lows
 Although mindful Of their many deficiencies, the question arises within the ranks of the local Na- tional Guard units, whether this or ganization is not as great an asset 10 the city of New Britain as is the Chamber of Commerce?
 "Rlot, prison breaks, fire and flood in various parts Of the United States have found the National Guard at hand to combat them and it is be- lieVed that q glance at the history of the local military companies, dur ing the World war alone, will show at least a favorable comparison with the history of the local Chamber of Commerce
 We may not get the type of CO., operation in New Britain that Ma tlonal Guard units obtain in other cities in Connecticut, However we would not beg the question, had not the recent circular issued by the New Britain Chamber of Commerce given the impression that the methods employed by the New Brit ain National Guard Companies in selling tickets for their fort Incoming ball were, at least, uncthiCal.
 The article appearing in the Herald February Fist regarding the military ball 10 be given in New Britain on the evening of March 4th appears misleading in it's statement as to the benefit to be secured from the event by the local National Guard units. While 1t is true that tickets for the ball are being sold by men not connected with the Ma tional Guard nevertheless we affirm that the affair is being given under the auspices of the local National Guard units, with 8 guarantee to the units of more than has been preVi- ously made in events handled di- rectly by them. In fact it was be- cause of the belief that the agree ment would so benefit the enlisted members of the local National Guard yhy giving each company treasury funds for the coming cncampment that it was sponsored by the con- manders of the three local con- panies.
 The personnel of these New Brit ain National Guard units continue to hope that they can look 10 the citizens of New Britain who enjoy dancing for support in this venture"

BOND PRICES SHOW
 NARROW CHANGES
Rails Gain a Little, But Most
 Other Issues Are Dull

New York, Feb. T P>-Movc- ments in bond prices showed faml- s far narrowness in the early trading today. A few investment rails gained close to half point in re- sponse to better buying which ap- , peared coincident with an easier un- " dertonc in time money. United States Governments were dull and virtually unchanged.
 Wabash 4i@s, Pennsylvania Az s, NCentral Pacific Guaranteed 5s and Nickel Plate 6s made slight pro- gress in the first grade carrier group. Missouri Pacific General Is also worked higher. Among the speculative rails, there was sharp rally in Iowa Central issues, the first IS rising about 3 + points while the Certificates Of Deposit climbed nearly 3. Convertible rails were quiet.
 Foreign obligations held firm, finding the market somewhat less active than yesterday.
 Domestic Issues Dull
 Domestic industrals and utilities. which have done little in the past . week, continued stagnant. Rather ' active bidding in Hudson Coal 5s sent the price up nearly a point. United States Rubber 5s sagged.
 American Telephone Convertible 412s sold off from the previous close and then more than recovered their loss. International Telephone f F s were heavy.
 New Bond offerings have dwindled thereby giving the listed market time to absorb fully the enormous amount of new financing placed since January 1. Prospective new is } sues include $4,500,000 in Western Public Service first mortgage , 12s.
