GUIDING STARS
Bv Robert Benchley

If you are one of those help
less people who are constantly
getting lost, and just standing
still and sobbing, the coming
season holds out great hope for
you. The stars are going to be
unusually bright this summer.
You can't get lost if you know
the stars-unless, of course, you
can't see the stars.
People usually get lost more
easily in summer than they do
in winter, because they find
themselves in stranger places IN
summer. Anyone who, in win"
ter, gets lost in his own street,
or even five blocks from his own
street (Which is as far away as
any sensible man gets in win

looking at any stars. What ne
needs is a nice, sympathetic
cop.
But, in the summer, you get
to stumbling around in fields,
or on the beach looking for
horseshoe-crabs, and, along
about eleven O'Clock in the eve
ming, you are quite likely to
find yourself tripping over an
old cigaret-butt of yours that

fore on the way home. Anyone
is likely to do that, so don't

Is It Being Sacrificed?

On this anniversary Of the signing of the Declaration Of
Independence which proclaimed the freedom of the United
States, the American people might well ponder the
city of declarations declaration procamng the nde
pendence Of the people from their government.
The last few years the American people robbed
large extent of their muchbOasted freedom have
them stripped of their proud independence.
We have become people dependent almost entirely upon
our Government.
That Government tells us what we shall eat what we shall
wear, what shall do
It tells the individual how many matches he shall have
to light his cigar tells business man how shall
run his business.
The Government blankets activities prescribing minute
detail the conduct of affairs.

somehow SHINING against the body polite and the

Surveys Agree Army, Navy
Retain Own Air Forces
Bu James T. Williams, Jr.

AS the Presidents special Air
Corps committee, under the able
leadership of the former Secre-
tary of War, Newton D. Baker,
nears the end Of it's comprehen-
sive survey of military aviation,
a new commission authorized by
Congress is organizing to study
every aspect of American avia-
tion.
This new commission, ap-
pointed by President Roosevelt,
will doubtless begin it's study by
making use of the evidence and
the findings on which the forth
coming report to the President
by Mr.. Baker and his committee
will be based.
Same Conclusion
OF the fourteen boards and
committees set up since 1919 by
the President or the Congress
or by both for the study of ma
tional aeronautical policy, seven
have come to the conclusion that
aerial activity cannot be effec-
lively carried on independent of
ground troops and that there
fore our military and naval air,
forces should not be divorced
from the Army and the Navy.
The other seven of these
boards or committees, which
have studied the problems Of
aviation as they bear upon the
national defense, wrestled with
the specific problem of whether
our air forces should be organ
lied as an independent activity,
entirely separate. from the
Army and Navy. Six Of these
seven studies made by the COM
mittees specifically charged
with finding an answer to this
question arrived at the same
conclusion as the seven other
boards or committees, which
surveyed not only aviation but
other units of the national de-
fense. This conclusion was that
our air forces should remain an
integral part of the Army and
Navy.
The only one of the IA CON-
mittees or boards, which have
considered our national aero
nautical policies in the point of
view of national defense since
the great war ended, which
has arrived at a different con-
clusion is the Lampert COM
mittee. This congressional COM
mittee, which met in the winter
of 1924-25, advocated the aboli-
ton of both the War and Navy
Departments and the creation
in their place of a Department
of National Defense, in which
the ground force, the air force
and the naval force would
constitute three separate divi-
SionS.
General Pershing, the COM
mander-in-chief Of the A. E. F.,
whenever he has appeared as a
The Washington times., 1934-07-04

witness before these postwar
investigations, has earnestly op-
posed depriving the Army or
the Navy of their respective air
forces. General Menoher, who
commanded overseas during the
Great War and was later chief
of the Army Air Service, was
against divorcing the ground
force from the air force.
The record of these IA in
vestigations of aviation from
the point of view of the ma
tional defense, which have been
held since the Armistice, shows:
That of 50 general officers
who were wartime command
ers and whose views were
sought, only four gave un-
qualified approval of the theory
Of dtVOrCing air forces. from
ground forces.
That all five Secretaries of
War who have served in that
office during or since the Great
War have each expressed def
mite opinions in opposition to a
separation of the air forces from
ground forces.
That all these postwar COM
mitteeS, which have studied the
relationship of commercial aero
nautics with military and naval
aerOnautics, have been unani-
mously of the opinion that a
strong commercial aviation in
duStry was absolutely essential
to the national defense.
Most of these committees, the
record also shows, were led by
their studies to the conclusion
that the United States should
adhere to its traditional policy
of keeping commercial and mil
itary activities entirely separate.
New Importance
The recommendations of a
majority of these postwar com
mittees have been to the effect
that, instead of building its own
aircraft, the Government should
give its orders for aircraft to
the industry and thereby aid
in building up a strong aircraft
industry.
Nearly all of these commit
tees, each of which had made
a new contribution to the Gov
ernment's information about
aviation as it applies to national
defense, have been convinced
that the Government should
have the right at all times to
purchase aircraft by negotiation
or by competitive design, and
remain free to use whichever
method of procurement might
seem most advantageous at the
moment from the standpoint
of the national defense.
The findings of these COM
mitteeS and boards which have
studied the relationship of avia-
ton to the national defense,
in the light Of the lessons
taught by the Great War and
the lessons learned since then,
hold a new Importance because
they will necessarily be tho
basis for the survey to be made
by the new commission which
President Roosevelt set up be-
fore starting for Hawaii.
