Coast research base. according to
his associates. stands as one of his
last major contributions to national
defense.
Research Station Needed.
Gen. Westover had gone just far
enough with his preliminary studies
to indicate that he favored a new
N. A. c. A. station near the Cali
fornia airplane manufacturing CEN
ter. In this work he had the sup
port of the late DR.. Willis r. Gregg,
chief of the Weather Bureau, a
member of his three-man subcom-
mittee. DR.. Gregg died within few
days of Gen. Westover, leaving as
the sole surviving member of the
committee Rear Admiral Arthur B.
Cook, chief of the Navy Bureau
of Aeronautics.
Around Admiral Cook a new group
known as the Special Committee on
Further Research Facilities was
assembled. It is composed of Mai.
Gen. Henry H. Arnold, who succeed
ed Gen. Westover as chief of the
Air Corps: Edward J. Noble, chair
man of the Civil Aeronautics Au-
thority; Edward P. Warner, former
Assistant Secretary of the Navy for
Aeronautics and now technical ad-
wiser to the c. A. A., and DR..
George w. Lewis.
The committee submitted four
point program calling for:
!. The construction of a second
N. A. c. A. research station at
Sunnyvale, Calf, involving the
construction Of the most advanced
and necessary research facilities.
2. The construction of badly need
ed additional research facilities at
Langley Field.
3. A new plan for the more ef-
fective co ordination of applied
aeronautical research in industry.
4. A plan for the stimulation and
encouragement of aeronautical re-
search in educational and scientific
institutions on problems supple
mentary to the research programs of
the Government.
Service Problems.
"The Army and Navy are con-
fronted with serious and pressing
problems in connection with the
technical development of aircraft" !"
the committee stated in its report.
"Other powers recently have de-
veloped aircraft Of greater military
effectiveness. This has been made
possible largely by the tremendous
expansion In aeronautical research
facilities abroad. The efforts of the
Army, the Navy and the aircraft
industry In the United States to
regain leadership in the technical
development of aircraft are funda-
mentally dependent upon expansion
of the research facilities of the Ma
tional Advisory Committee for
Aeronautics.
I'm view of the critical condition
OF world affairs and the overshad-
owing influence of air power, it is
OF vital importance to our national
defense to proceed with this pro-
gram without delay, for on its exc
cution will largely rest the hopes Of
America to excel or at least to keep
pace with world powers III the tech
nical development of aircraft"
President Roosevelt and the
Budget Bureau have responded to
the pleas for additional funds for
