Reduction of Air Service Sergeant First Since 1920 The recent reduction of a technical sergeant in the Army Alr Service to the grade of private through sentence of a special court-martial is the first case on record since ,1920 where a non-commissioned officer n the Afr Service, appointed by the chief of Air Service, suffered such a punishment, the Army Alr Service announced to- day. To one conversant with Army life,” said the announcement, “such an_occurrence would appear to be nothing out of the ordinary—rather ‘| commonplace. And yet for the Alr Service it is an extraordinary occur- rence.” The reasons for the ‘“exceptional state of discipline in the aviation v | branch,” said the announcement, were summarized as follows: “It may be stated without fear of successful con- tradiction that the Air Service is the most democratic combatant branch in the Army today, for the reason that the officers and enlisted men have |more things in common with one | another. There is a closer bond of sympathy between officer and man be- cause of the necessurily closer contact they have with one another. Alr Service pilots usually carry enlisted men along with them as their me- chanics when making an alrplane fiizht, and one long cross-country flight will give the enlisted passen- ger and the officer pilot a far greater insight into each other's character than would be possible in another | branch of the service during weeks and months spent on the drill fleld.” Senator Capper Gomz to Berlin.
