Creation of a National Guard avia-

lumbia today was requested of Con-
gress and the War Department by the
rs flying members of the District of
Columbia Air Legion, as step toward
building I'D of national defense in the
National Capital area.
There are sufficient numbers of train
ed pilots, engine mechanics, airplane
mechaniS and airplane rlggers willing
to serve in such squadron to make
possible immediate organization, in the
opinion of members of the legion, an
organization formed of private citizens
who have banded together to share the
expenses of learning to fly.
Committee Is Named.
George M. Stone. president of the
legion, today announced the appoint
ment of a special committee headed
by John Arthur Shaw, local attorney
and pioneer member of the legion, to
conduct the campaign for creation OF
the squadron.
1T has been apparent for some
years." said Mr.. Stone in announcing
plans for the campaign, that the
United States is falling behind in its
preparations for war in SO far as the air
is concerned. and particularly in SO far
as the National Capital is concerned
'All of the other capitals of the world
are protected by ample air forces, while
the Capital of the richest nation on
earth is protected only by very small
force of Army and Navy planes.
Members Of the D. C. Air Legion be-
lieve that it is patriotic duty for them
to carry on this battle. and will do SO
n lin,
the legion We have IS aviation pilots,
all of whom have learned to fly out of
their own earnings Also in the legion
we have several men who have qualified
as aviation engine mechanics, alrplane-
mechanics and rlggers.
212 Licensed Pilots Here
I'VE believe that the War Depart
ment should utilize these young men
as the nucleus of an aviation squadron
to be stationed in the Nations Capital"
Official figures of the aeronautics
branch Of the Department of Commerce
show that the District of Columbia
has total of 272 licensed airplane
pilots and 148 licensed aviation me
chanics. OF the 272 pilots who hold
port pilots. the highest rating issued by
the department; 6 are limited CONNER
cial and so are private pilots
Many of the transport pilots licensed
from the District of Columbia already
hold active or reserve commissions in
the Army and Navy, but there are be-
lieved to be sufficient pilots of this
class unattached to military units to
form highly trained leadership for
the proposed National Guard squadron
and to supervise the further training
of the bulk of pilots, who now hold pri-
vate pilots licenses

partments of chemistry, physics and
biology into a single department OF
science, with the resultant demotion of
two veteran directors. The question
was raised at that time whether the

venlence with one representative each

sented."

Presidential Nomination Only I'm
animOus Selection OF Commission

Reports in Democratic circle this
week indicated that the only matter
on which the Delaware delegation
will act with absolute unanimity at
the party's national convention in
Chicago on Monday, June 27, will
be the nomination of Governor
Franklin d. Roosevelt, of New York,
for the Presidency.
1t vas said that the delegation
had taken an open stand on the
matter of prohibition.
While individual members of this
States Democratic delegation to the
national convention of the party are
said to have formed opinions, or to
have reached settled convictions up
on prohibition and means of unem-
ployment relief, the delegation as a
unit has not taken any stand on
these matters, it is reported. They
will probably wait until the conven-
tion opens before they reach any
agreement for voting as unit upon
any specific issues, it is said.

for Chicago on Wednesday. John
