UTICA, N. Y, June Ogden L.
Mills, former Secretary of the Treas

held Europe in stagnation 800 years.
Addressing a group of men and
women as a speaker for the new Ma
tional Republican Builders, Inc. Mills
called upon sympathetic Democrats to
form q similar organization to 'in-
sist upon development Of America
along American lines"
Mills followed Mrs., Preston Davie
of Jericho, vice president of the build
ers. who called upon the women of
America to wake up, get into politics
and fight for what you want your
children to have in this country"
Mrs. Davie sponsored the builders
first unit to fight Tammany In New
York d its purpose has now been
expanded to the national issue.
Mills said the whole new deal"
program is based on the conception
the economic life of a Nation may be
planned. but which conception pre-
supposes a static and stabilized indus
try. We know it is fluid, dynamic and
in process of continuous change. The
conception of the plan must depend
upon ability to prophesy and see far
into the future"
Such plan. he declared, would re-

NAVY TO INCREASE
AVIATION PILOTS
Non.fIying officers to Be
Trained to Replace Flyers
Where Possible.

Faced with a shortage of naval avi-
alton pilots which threatens to be-
come acute as naval aviation ex-
pands to keep pace with the
growth of the feet, the Navy Depart
ment Is undertaking a program to
provide larger number Of pilots over
the next seven years, during which
the fleet and its air units are to be
brought up to strength.
As q part of this move, the Navy
has undertaken a program Of training
non flying officers to replace pilots
wherever possible. Under this pro-
gram, it was learned today, So officers
will be taken from the line at once
to be qualified for aviation duties ex-
cept actual plotting Of aircraft.
Training as Observers.
These officers, in the ranks Of en-
sign, lieutenant Ounior grade) and
lieutenant, will be trained as observ-
ers. aerial navigators, radio operators
and gunners and will replace pilots
now used for these purposes. They
will receive flight pay while on flying
duty.
The training of this nom flying per-
sonnel Is expected to release for full
flight duty number of pilots now
serving as members of crews of large
Navy patrol planes and for similar
duties which restrict their actual fly
ing to service as c0-pilOtS.
The Navy also Is planning to call
into duty with its combat squadrons
larger numbers Of trained reserve
aviation pilots, extending as far as
possible the policy Of giving year OF
active duty with the aviation squad
rons Of the fleet to reserve officers
graduated from the big Naval Flying
School at Pensacola, Fla.
1t was pointed out today that
although the Navy program now
under way will call for an ultimate
total Of 2.l84 airplanes, there are
today only 809 officers and 300 enlist
ed men, or a total of l.l09. who
actually have flight ratings and are
available as pilots.
Planes to be Added.
Within the next few months q
number of airplanes must be added to
j the total now available to equip the
new airplane carrier, U. S. S. Ranger
and new cruisers being constructed
under the Navy program. Under the
provisions of the Vinson bill, at least
$50 additional pilots a year must be
added to the Nays flight personnel
Because of the high physical re.
quirements for naval aviators. the
need for naval officers for regular line
