" Hurt as British Make
Daring Rescue

HONGKONG, March Is. (UP)
Flames of mysterious origin yes
terday destroyed the U.S.S. Full
ton. a navy gunboat on patrol IN
pirate-infested Bias Bay, about Az
miles north of Hongkong. The l94
officers and men on board were
rescued.
The glowing hulk, a total loss
cast a wierd glow over the dark
waters near. the pirates lair last
night as British warship and two
merchant steamers brought the
Americans here. None was report
ed injured. ,
The cause Of the sudden burst
of flames aboard the Fulton was
not Immediately known. An I'M
confirmed report said that an ex-
plosion occurred. The flames
spread so swiftly through the 49,
year-old reconditioned warshlp
that there was no opportunity TO
check them.
The H. NJ. S. Wishart made a
spectacular rescue of the Fulton's
officers and crew. Despite heavy
swell running, she ran alongside
and took aboard all but two boat
loads of officers and men. These
were later picked up by the Isln-
an.
Lieut.. G. J. Phelan of the Full.
ton described Commander Tod, OF
the Wishart, as daring seaman.
He credited the British officer
with saving many lives. The sail
ors leaped from one ship to the
other with the fire at their heels.
The British destroyer Wishart
answered an sos, and picked up
139 officers and men. The Whit
shed, a second British destroyer,
was standing by the still smolder-
ing hulk of the doomed Fulton.
The merchant steamer Tslnan
picked up 49 of the crew and
brought them to Hongkong. The
remaining six men were reported
rescued by other craft.
The disaster occurred in a heavy
fog in Bias Bay, where the Fulton
was on regular duty as part of the
United States fleet on patrol in
Chinese waters.

SAYS ARMY AIR
FORCES TO BE-
REORCANIZED.
Will Be Prepared for Any
Emergency Promptly,
Foulois Says
ALL AIRMAIL PLANES
ARE STILL GROUNDED

WASHINGTON, Mar. Is. (UP)
The army air corps "must be COM
pletely organized. equipped and
trained to meet any national
emergency upon % hours notice" "
Major General B. D. Foulois, chief
of the army air corps. said in a
formal statement issued today by
the war department.
WASHINGTON. Mar. Is. (UP)
A ffteen-year fight to take the
army air corps away from control
of the ground-minded old line of
ficers of the general staff appear
ed to be at the edge of victory
last night as the administration
laid plans for complete reorgani-
cation of all non-naval aviation
units of the government.
President Roosevelt. it was
made clear at the White House,
feels that division of air opera
tons among half a dozen branch
es of the government never has
and never will be satisfactory.
A single aviation unit coordi-
mating activities now spread
among the army, department of
commerce, postoffice department,
customs service and coast guard
is contemplated. Part of the ma
rine corps aviation units would be
included. The navy and the sec
ton of the marine air service at
tached to ships would be left I'M
der the separate control of the
navy.
As these plans came to light,
Secretary of War Dern announc-
ed that the committee appointed
yesterday to investigate the ar
my's airmail experiences would
extend its inquiry to cover all
phases of army aviation. The an
nouncement came after confer
ence with Clarence Chamberlin,
transatlantic airman, who will
be one of the civilian members of
the committee. Col. Charles A.
Lindbergh has rejected an invita-
ton to participate. Orville Wright,
the third civilian appointed, de-
clined to serve because of Ill
health.
The long fight between the gen.
eral staff and the younger flying
officers of the army air corps was
not mentioned specifically in yes
terday's discussions of consolida-
ton plans, but the effect of the
program would be to put aviators
in charge of aviation. That is the
goal demanded long ago by Brig
adler General William Mitchell,
and it was disagreement with old
line officers over aviation policies
that led to his sensational court
martial and subsequent retire
ment from the army.
Mitchell is being considered for
a prominent position in the new
consolidated aviation structure.
Some administration leaders
would like to see him at the head
of the air services, but others feel
that an executive with less fiery
temperament will be needed.
Mitchell has resumed an active
part in aviation discussions in re-
cent weeks, and will have consid-
cradle influence in planning the
