Aviation Department Plan
Wins Support in Senate
BY the Associat ted Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A proposal for creation of a sep
arate air force under a new De
partment Of Aviation" attracted
ready support in the Senate today.
Senator McCarran, Democrat, of
Nevada, who introduced the legisla-
ton yesterday, told reporters that
I'VE must have an air force second to
none in the world. The only way to
get it is to establish it under an in
dependent department, where Sec
retary will have voice at the Presi-
dents cabinet table"
He conceded that the measure was
bound to arouse formidable opposi-
ton from the Army and Navy.
Chairman Reynolds of the Senate
Military Committee gave whole
hearted approval to Senator Nc
Carran's proposal, declaring:
THE lessons of this war, especially
Crete, have demonstrated that air
power can sometimes overcome both
land and sea power"
Chairman George of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee said he
was inclined to favor" the McCar-
ran resolution, but added that he
had not fully made up his mind re-
garding a separate air force.
However, Senators Connally,
Democrat, of Texas, and Hill. Demo-
crat, of Alabama, both declared
that a separate air department was
not feasible at present.
