Today three years after the
termination of the fve-year period
the navy has just one thousand
planes and the army considerably
less than its mark of 1900. That
they should have more in 1884
than the 1881 figure is admitted
generally.
THE army general staff has es-
Il timated the cost of bringing
the air corps up to the 1881
strength. They based their figures
upon 1900 planes in service at all
times, and included the conserva-
tive allowance Of 1919 per cent
undergoing overhaul, or total of
1850 planes.
Following is the estimate of that
cost:
Housing and technical con-
struction, including bar
racks, quarters. administra-
ton, land, water. hangers,
shops, tools, ETC.. and in

vious estimates of IS per

that the total of planes needed to
complete the f1ve-year plan was
1920. The board arrived at this
figure by increasing the allowance
for planes in storage and under
going overhaul.
Funds now available will permit
of increase in the corps equip
ment within the next year or two,
but it still will be far short of it's
proper strength.
The corps now has $3.50 900
available for purchase of new
planes, of which $7,5OO,OOO came
from the public works admin
iStration. A call for bids for this
sum already has been issued.
1t also will have available for
the 1885 fiscal year, which begins
July l, the sum of $11 ,486, 900. Of
this amount, congress appropriated
$8,486,00O and the remaining
$3,000,000 is to come from the
$5,00O,OO0 requested by the Presi-
dent.
II
THE President has indicated
Il 100000 of the balance is to
be spent for fuel ard oil to per-
NIT of more flying and thus more
air experience for the pilots, and
the remaining $1,00O,OOO is to be
expended as he directs.
Viewed alone, $11,0OO,0O0 seems
a large sum. Viewed in COMPARE
son with the army's estimate that
$120 100000 is needed to give the
corps the strength it should have
had in 1881, it seems small.
No person familiar with aviation
and the intricate procedure of
planning, designing, engineering.
testing and putting military planes
into production recommends that
$120,500,O00 should be given to the
corps for immediate expenditure.
Excess haste in seeking to correct
the present condition of the corps
might well result in waste and in
efficiency.
The vital need rather is for
agreement upon long range, I'M
hurried, continued program of
growth and expansion of equip
ment, methods of training and
personnel.
Until such an agreement and
such a program is reached, army
aviation in the United States will
continue in the inferior position
it is in today.

0NE of Senator Hugo Blacks
" graveSt worries has been the
bloodthirsty tendencies of his old
est son and nameSake, Hugo Jr.
Automobile riding on Sundays,
Hugo Jr. sits with his younger
brother on the rear seat of the
Blacks flivver sedan. Every time
the senator approaches something
in the road, be it box, chicken,
dog, horse or COW, Hugo shouts:
Run over it, daddy. Run over
it"
This worried the senator. Also
Mrs. Black. Then came a happier
day. AS they set off from home
one Sunday afternoon they came
up on a small boy-a playmate of
Hugo's-riding a bicycle. Again
Hugo yelled, but this time the plea
was different.
Look out, daddy" he screamed.
"Don't run over that boy"
Mrs. Black was elated. So was
the senator.
We'll, son." said Hugo ST., I'm
glad to hear you tell me not to
run over something for a change.
What's come over you?"
Hugo Jr. was reluctant, but aft
er some pressing, he finally re-
piled:

ME army is up against it for
Il trucks. 1t needs about 700
and is unable to order one.
Reason for the dilemma is this:
Whenever the army asks for bids
on light trucks, Ford underbids
all competitors by a considerable
margin. However, Ford trucks are
unacceptable because he spurns
the blue eagle.
The army, therefore, would be
glad to buy Chevrolets, but Ford
has served notice that in this case
he will bring suit. And the gen.
erals think that although the
lower courts have ruled against
Ford, the higher courts might find
in his favor. Since the cost of
the trucks in such a case would
come out of their own pockets,
they are not willing to take a
chance.
So the army remains without it's
700 light trucks.
Latest move suggested in army
circles is to get Controller General
McCarl to permit bids on six
cylinder trucks. Since Ford does
not manufacture six-cylinder cars
he would be out of luck.
