tial damage to an enemy. They agree
that aviators' observations are enor-
mously useful to surface warriors but
argue that the latter must wage the
real combat. Their version is that the
plane is the main thing today-that
armies have ceased to be of any greats
consequence, and that navies practi-
cally are waste of money, because
they can be sunk so easily from aloft
Just where the new chief of the Army
Air Corps, Major Gen. Henry H.
Arnold, stands on this question is not
yet of record.
1t is difficult for layman to judge
between these conflicting accounts.
His suspicion is that the surfacemen
don't like to confess that their oc-
cupation's gone-that they are, indeed
a bunch of out-moded old fogies. Yet,
contrariwise, there's the suspicion
that the airmen are overly en-
thuSiaStic.
General Mitchell's Testimony
Gen. William Mitchell, formerly as
sistant chief of the army air corps,
doubtless is the nearest to a 100 per
cent aviator that this country has
had thus far. He was so exceedingly
so that he was court-martialed fol
the violence of his utterances and
wished into military retirement-the
surfacers being thoroughly out of
patience with him, and in a majority.
BILLY" Mitchell, seeking to dem
Onstrate that lone aviator could
sink anything afloat, challenged the
navy department to anchor a ship off
, the Virginia Capes, for him to drop
bombs on.
That was several years ago, at
time when an international naval dis
armament treaty had just been effect
ed. The navy had a surplus, half-fin-
ished war vessel on hand, which was
due to be scraped under the terms of
the. bargain. Accordingly, the depart
ment did anchor the ship off the
Capes, and, sure enough, Billy, TAX
ing off in a plane, sank it.
Ever since then he has reasoned
that navies. are no good-and that he
proved it.
The navy contends otherwise. For
one item, it wishes it never had an
chorcd that ship off the Capes. Fur
thermore it says the test wasn't a
fair one. The ship was at anchor, sta
tionary and unnamed. Billy was at
liberty to try and try again, until he
hit his target-down funnel or some
such place. If that boat had been wig

, it.
And maybe not 1t just goes to il
lustrate that the question remains
open.
It's bit too soon to judge what
aviation can do.
The last World War didn't decide
the issue. Aviation then comparative
ly was in it's infancy. 1t is yet, for
that matter
To date it's been tried out somewhat
farther-in Spain and China.
In neither of these countries has
it accomplished anything decisive. Ii

that's all.
A city is pinned down in one spot
and can be bombed conviently. Per
haps an occasional bomb will hit it
somewhere, however effective its anti
aircraft defense may be. A ship, at

LORETTA YOUNC'S
 FRIEND INDICTED
William BuCkner Guilty of Mail Fraud Charges
 By Jury

New York, Dec. 30-(UP)-Wil- Ham P. Buckner, handsome young promoter and friend of Loretta Young, movie actress, was indicted today by the federal grand jury on charges of mail fraud and conspir- acy in connection with the alleged kiting of Philippine Railway com pany bonds.
 Named with Buckner was William J. Gillespie, 37 broker. Gillespie is free in $2,0o0 bail and Buckner is in Hollywood where he obtained permission to go Christmas eve to attend to some business. He took Miss Young to Christmas services In the film colony.
 The seven count indictment charges that the t%%;o men conspired to "rig the market" on Philippine bonds which were defaulted in July. 1887. Buckner is accused of send ing out false reports from Manila that the Philippine government would redeem the bonds and pay interest in full.
 Assistant U. s. Attorney William Power Maloney said the two gained more than $50,000" and that the government would continue its in- vestigation, particularly into a chorus girl party Buckner gave for Washington legislators during the bond deal.

Building Permits In
 State Record Decline
NOyember's Work Exceeds Corresponding Period of
 1937-DrOp in Valuation of Work Accomplished

Building permits issued by cities and towns in Connecticut during the month of November dropped in value below the totals for October but were substantially ahead of those granted in the corresponding month of 1887, according to the monthly building survey taken by the Department of Sales and Traf- fic Development of the New Haven Railroad and made public today by w. J. Landon, sales and service agent.
 The railroads survey taken among 26 cities and towns along it's lines, showed that permits issued by those communities last month reached a total valuation of $3,037,1 ,190 as com- pared with figure of $3,586, ,468 for October. It is to be noted, however, that the October total was consider ably expanded by the inclusion in that months figures of the $75O, ,00O permit for the United Illuminating Company's new headquarters build ing in New Haven.
 At the same time, the November permits were raised substantially by large housing project in Stam- for, estimated to cost about $800,- 900, and by various hurricane re- mobilization projects in New London. Stamford headed the months list with permits valued at $85O ,467, while New London was second and West Hartford third. New Haven, Hartford and Bridgeport had top ped the October survey in that or der.
 Building permits gains in Novem- Der as compared with october were limited to eleven of the 26 com munitieS. These were Derby, East Hartford, Fairfield, Hamden, Meri- den, New Britain, New London, Nor wich, Stamford, West Haven and Wetherstield.
 Total permits for November, 1887, were valued at $2,34O,68O, giving November. 1888, an increase of $696,- 61O. Sharing in this gain were 12 of the 26 municipalities. These were Derby, East Hartford, Fairfield, Manchester, Meriden, Naugatuck,

Public Accountants
 Seek Uniform System
Periodic Auditing of City, County State Government
 Accounts Favored in Proposed Legislation

Provisions for uniform system of periodic auditing and accounting in state, country and municipal goy- ernment are urged by the Connecti- cut Society of Certified Public Ac- countants as part of any bill on municipal accountancy which may be introduced at the 1899 session of the general assembly, it was an- nounced here today by the society's committee on legislation.
 The society fayors the creation of a department of county and munich pal accounts, headed by an account ant of recognized ability and gen. eral experience. Pointing out that 115 of Connecticut's 169 communities do not have their accounts audited annually, the society goes on record as favoring compulsory expert ex- animation of state, county and mu- nicipal books at least once ayear, such audits to be conducted by in- dependent public or certified ac- countants, who should be inde- pendent in fact and not office hold ers' in the municipalities affected.
 Confidential Work
 The society's legislative committee points out that in the pest the con- fnedtial nature of the work of the public accountant has doubtless had an influence on the general re- luctance of the accountant to inject himself into public discussions of government matters" Now, accord- ing to the memorandum, "there seems to be a prospect of public interest in the accounting and au- diting of public funds," as evil denced by blanks of both major parties, which are quoted by the committee in respect to the advo- cacy of uniform and annual audit ing of governmental accounts.
 Admitting the likelihood of the Merritt Parkway and City of Wa terbury criminal cases having aroused such interest by both po- ntical parties, the society cites the absence of laws requiring state or county audits, and traces the slow advance of regulations concerning municipal audits. It should be re- membered, the report states, that certified accountants, as well as certified public accountants of other states, are not subject to discipline of the Connecticut State Board of Accountancy and are not amendable to rules of professional conduct of the Connecticut Society of Certified Public Accountants.
 By way of fortifying its stand for better laws and more rigid enforce ment, the committee cites num- Der of examples of alleged laxity, as follows:
 D A 1881 statute amendment required towns with boards of fi- nance to report their budgets in prescribed form to the tax commis- sioner. This requirement. is not be- ing lived up to by all concerned.
 9 The so-caleld Uniform Ac- counting System" adopted by the General Assembly in 1887, mot written by one rtained in account ancy although dealing with account any, does not provide for an ade- quate system.
