OPEN SUNDAY Main 280 NEW PLANES VITAL, ARCHEFASSERTS Bombing of Washington Held to Show Weakness of - Present Types. The recent attacks off the Virginia capes on the battleship Washington, scrapped under the naval treaty, demonstrated that new bombing planes will have to be developed t8 carry more destructive bombs, Maj. Gen. Patrick, chief of the Army Alr Service, declared today before the House alrcraft investigating commit- tee. The present American bombing planes, although as good as those of any other nation, Gen. Patrick added, are, in his opinion, obsolescent, due to the heavier armor of modern bat- tleships. Testimony of Gen. Patrick as to the general operation of the Alr Service, and more particularly as to the policy for handling contracts and plans for development of the service, was ex- pected to occupy the committee throughout the day. Gen. Patrick explained that the Air Service departed from a purely com- petitive basis in awarding contracts, because of the department’s policy of endeavoring to keep nlive many air- WHY COMPLAIN ABOUT THE HIGH-COSTOF LIVING AND PAY ANOTHER MAN APROFIT ‘ON THE INVEST- HENT HE HAS IN THE The best way to beat the old ACL is to build a home of your own.

He sald every contract over $10,000 was passed upon by the Secretary of War. Attack planes, he continued, are still in the experimental stage, but the Army Air Service has established three_types of planes which are not Hkely to be surpassed anywhere in the next few years. The air service, he added, has on hand about 10,000 obsolete Liberty motors, while more up-to-date de- signs for complete planes are being developed. “Great concern,” Gen. Patrick sald, was felt at the War Department over the possibility of the United States being suddenly called to war “at max- imum effort.” At present, he said, it would take several months before airplane production would meet de- mand.
