Army Just Stupid
In Rejecting Gliders,
House Group Told
Flyer Says Use at Crete
Was the Secret Weapon
Which Nuzis Boosted
BY CLAUDE A. MAHONEY.

A glder enthusiast IOlQ HOUSE
Naval Affairs Subcommittee today
that the War Department is lust
stupid" and should have taken up
glider pilot training last year, before
this Crete thing"
Referring to the invasion of Crete
by the Germans in gliders, Charles
T. Malone, president of the Amer
lean Glider Association, said this
was probably the secret weapon they
talked about"
Mr.. Malone, a Washington lawyer
and accountant, said he had urged
adoption of glider pilot training by
the Army, the Navy and the Civil
AeronauticS Board, with no success.
He testified that the Navy refused
and said it believed the training mot
necessary" at this time, and the c..
A. B. said it doubted the wisdom of
changing the methods of pilot train
ing while in the middle of a pro-
gram. The Army, he said, refused to
have anything to do with the idea.
Don't Want Suggestions"
81 think the War Department is
Just stupid" he said. 1.-THE people
there don't want suggestions from
the outside. They have sat there
and got fat since the last war, and
don't want to have anything to do
with anybody who has had to get
out and hustle"
He described the method in which
he received primary training in the
Lafayette Flying Corps of the
French Army in the last war
Students were given ships that could
not fly and were made to ground
fy" them back and forth across q
field until they got the feel OF
them. This means Of learning is
similar to glider flying, he said, and
is far safer than the ordinary flying
| lessons.
Letters from Chairman Hinckley
of the c. A. B. and from Assistant
Navy Secretary Ralph Bard were put
into the record to show lack OF
interest in the glider pilot training
program. The Army letter also was

Helicopter Described.
A helicopter designer, S. P. Ne
meth, who had designed an airplane
at the age of IA in Budapest, Hun

was building a helicopter that would

comparable with conventional air
