Corps Declared Second to None WASHINGTON, July 20.—(Copy- right by Associated Press)—Crea- tion of a unified air force, one of the most hotly contested ques- tions of the American aeronauti- cal policy, is opposed in a report made to Secretary of War Dern by a special aviation committee headed by Newton D. Baker. The committee found the United States second to none in aeronaut- ics, declaring that since military and naval aviation has been de- veloped to its present status through separate Army and Navy Corps, it would be folly to make a radical change in the organiza- tion. The report recommended more fighting planes for the army, how- ever, which has between 1,300 and 1400 at the present time.

MOBILIZATION IS ORDERED BY 60V, ). L. MEIER Eleven Hundred National Guardsmen Camped Near Portland EFFORTS TO BE MADE TO BREAK BLOCKADE Strikers ;:i_ Employers Reply to Rumors—Gen- eral Strike Looming PORTLAND, Oregon, July 20.— As the general strike situation cleared up in San Francisco, a similar general tieup loomed in Portland following the order last night of Gov. Julius L. Meier in mobilizing 1,100 Oregon National Guardsmen at Withycombe, ten miles from Portland. The mobilization was ordered by the Governor to “prevent loss of life and bloodshed” when the ship- pers attempt to open the port today. The Strategy Committee said a general strike will be called if the- troops are moved to Portland's waterfront. Ready for Call With bayonets, machine guns and light revolvers, the Guardsmen are encamped within calling distance of Portland ready to advance to the waterfront at a moment’s no- tice. Senator Robert F. Wagner, of New York, of the National Labor Board, said he regretted the Gov- ernor’s action. Beth Sides The strikers claim the Governor's move was inspired by the employ- ers in a “determined effort to pre- vent a settlement of the strike, fearing the Government’s board will award to the strikers their just demands.” The employers, it is said, inform- ed the Governor the Portland po- lice could not supply adequate pro- tection for the cargo-working crews. Pickets Shot Four pickets were shot and in- jured as a third unsuccessful at- tempt was made on an escort of a cargo train to the Portland' Terminals. Shortly aftérnoon today the shippers began the first real at- tempt to break the blockade when non-union labor began loading one vessel with lumber. — SAN FRANGISCO WORKERS BACK T0 THEIR JOBS Foodstuffs T—ak—en to Mar- kets — Stores, Theatres » Open, Industry Resumes SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., July 20. —Men went back to work in San Francisco, Oakland and other Bay cities as the genmeral strike ended.
