ARMY To BUILD
NEW AIR UNITS
Continued from Page y

Continued from Page y
General Staff unified control
over all branches of the Army.
Heretofore, the chief of the Air
Corps has possessed more indie
pendence than the chiefs of Cav.
airy, Infantry and other divisions.
He alone has been responsible for
the operation of the Air Corps.
If the chief of staff wished to
utilize Army planes for some pur-
pose, he would have to recon-
mend it to the chief Of Air Corps.
He now can order instead Of rec
ommend.
Creation of this new headquar-
tiers air force under direct COM
mand Of the chief of staff brings
the Air Corps to a level with the
other branches of the Army and
gives the general staff unified
control.
At the same time, it virtually
deprives Brig. Gen. Benjamin
FoulolS, chief OF the Air Corps,
of command of the fighting units
of the military Air Service and
makes him little more than a
chief training and supply officer.
This is in line with the recon-
mendations of the Baker board
report, which said the chief Of
the air corps should be "eSpe-
cially qualified to lead the bust.
ness side of the air corps pro-
curement and supply functions"
The general staff will appoint
commander of the headquar.
tiers air force, but he will not
possess any of the powers of the
chief Of the air corps. Instead,
he will be a combat expert re.
porting direct to the Chief Of
