The outgrowth of months of in- vestigations, years of study and ex- penditure of thousands of dollars to determine a cure for the alleged ills of the Army Air Service—the Morin bill, now on the House calendar—has devolved into a building program, with benefits in the way of increased ap- propriations for planes equ'pment, but has failed, in the view of some officers, to take care of the acute problem con- cerning personnel The bill, as written by the com- mittee following the rejection of the numerous pleces of legislation for cor- rection of conditions, and reported to the House Monday, provides for 2,200 new planes, 10 airships, free and cap- tive balloons, spare parts, equipment, supplies and installations necessary for the operation and maintenance, exclusive of all but the most modern ones mnow in use; an additional Assistant Secretary of War to handle aviation; three additional brigadier generals, and change of the name of the service to “Air Corps.” It also provides for the derail of 403 officers “distributed in grades from colonel to second lieutenant, in- clusive”; temporary promotion in the fleld grades and reference back to the War Department for study and report of the promoltion question. These three features, if they are ultimalely adopted, will, in the opinion of Army alrmen on duty here, be a distinct blow to morale, efficiency and organi- zation of the flying arm. Officers Unwilling to Talk. Unwilling to appear voluntarily be- fore Congress or be quoted for publica tion®of their views because of the War Department regulation prohibiting at- tempts to influence legislation, the officers, in private circles and con- ferences, denounce these three pro- visions and declare conditions as to personnel as they now exist should stand_indefinitely instead. Under the temportary promotion in the fleld grades the junior offi- cers, who form the backbone of the service, would receive no benefit Captains, majors, lleutenant colonels and colonels would be eligible to tem porary p notion, not to exceed one grade, for performing duties calling for a higher rank. The airmen de- clare the application of this principle would result in a “throut-cutting, double-crossing campaign’ among all the officers eligible to such temporary promotion, while junior officers, now commanding squadrons and perform- jf ~——————— For Sale & For Rent MASSACHUSETTS North Shore Estates AT Rockport, Gloucester Magnolia, Manchester Beverly Farms, Prides Beverly Cove, Beverly Hamilton, Topsfield Wenham, Ipswich MEREDITH & GREW 40 Central St..

Failing to obtain a “separate list" for alrmen, the officers now are in favor of a plan which, it is under- stood, was worked out by a non-flying officer of the general staff. This plan is to establish a temporary pro motion list to take care of more than 400 officers now In the service, who took up flying during the war. The most Important grievance of these airmen, which has stood from the day they were commissioned, lies in the fact that they were not admitted as officers {n the Army until six or nine months sfter the other branches com- missioned their students. Infantry students became officers after three months, and although the air students entered the service at the same time, thelr commissions date long after their colleagues had taken a place on the permanent promotion lst. The temporary list calls for glving alr officer the same rank and posi- tion as the officer of the other arm who entered the service at the same tine now enjoys. During the six or nine months interval between the date the Infantry officer received his commission and the air service pilot got his, many additto were made to the promo list Consequently, the airman is far below the number held by the other officer who entered the service on the same date. Would Carry Alr Officers. The plan also provides that any of ficer due for permanent promotion on the permanent promotion list will carry into the next grade with him any Alr Service officer on the tem porary list who may have been cred ited on this list with the sume length of services as the officer on the perma- nent list. The airman carried ov on the temporary list will be tempo- rarily commissioned in the next higher grade and when his name comes up on the permanent list for promotion his temporary commission will be changed to a permanent one. Afrmen argue that the adoption of this list would not affect any other officer of any branch, as previous plans have been inclined to do. Detail of officers to the Air Service from other branches is vigorously op- posed. Although it specities they may not remain in the Air Corps for a REPORT IN TARIFF STUDIES GIVEN TO - SENATE INQUIRERS ued from First Page.) and has “gone to pot.” He charged that the Tariff Commission was de- liberately attempting to break down this law and do away with it. He named the commissioners to whom he charged this purpose as follows: Chairman _ Marvin, Commissioner Glassie, whom he chars “Mr. Marvin's counse sioners Broussard and Baldwin. “Are you a Democrat?” asked Sen- ator Reed. “Yes,” was the reply. Dr. Dennis said that theoretically he was for free trade, but that he believed in con- tinuing the protective tariff, because under it the industries of the United States have been built up. A horizontal reduction of the tarift would throw this country into con- fusion and disorder,” said the witaess. Dr. Dennis said that he had gone on the commission a8 an “innocent,” thinking that the flexible provisions of the tariff were intended to rectify tariff duties which were unjust. “I still have faith in the principle of the flexible tariff,” said Dr. Den. nis, “but since last October I've had no faith whatever in thelr admini- stration by the commission.” He charged that the flexible pro- visions had broken down through the bias of Chairman vin and the other three members of the commis- sion whom he had named. “He had been unfair in the admin- Istration of the la Aid Dr. Dennis He added that he thought that Chair- man Marvin was obsessed with the principle of high protection, “Perhaps Mr. Marvin thinks that you're obsessed,” suggested Senator Reed. Dr. Dennis replied that he himself was a pirotectionist, and in substan- tiation pointed out that he had voted with the commisslon in four cases to increase duties under a flexible tariff, and that in only two cases had he dissented. Dr. Dennis said he looked on the flexible tariff provisions as a “crude, groping effort” by Congress to ac- (Contil period of one year unless they qualify as pllots, the addition of new officers with higher rank deprives the ex- perienced alrmen of the slight chances of promotion they now have, it Is maintained.

He likened it to the creation of the Civil Service Commis. sion 40 years ago and to the creation of the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion when It became necessary to deal with transportation troubles. Dr. Dennis said that applications had been made to the commission under the flexible tariff provisions for 125 increases in duty and for 100 de- creases. In only 10 cases, he said, has the flexible tariff been put into effect by proclamation of the President, and in only 11-10 cases were the dutles lowered. Case of Quail Ts Cited. Dr. Dennis said he had been much concerned because of the attitude of the majority of the commission. He took up the case of an application for reduction of duty on bob-white quail imported from Mexico. He said he went to the President finally and sald that the flexible tariff should work both ways, up and down. The President was sympathetic, he said and wrote to the commission to take up the quail case. It was finally put through in four months, he said. “This was my first effort t downward revision Dr. Dennis. “I exhausted myself in that effort and have never been able to get another reduction Dr. Dennis said that Chairman Mar- vin was opposed to the flexible tariff provision and that he himself favored it. “If the flexible provisions of the tariff can be saved,” said Dr. Dennis “1 shall be glad to submit my resig nation If Chairman Marvin will do the same.” Dr. Dennis related to the commit- tee the long delays which have oc- curred in cases before the commis. slon, among them the log case, for which application was made in 1922 In October, 1923, the commission or dered a discontinuance, he said, Com- missioner Glassie fillng an opinion th the commission was without ju risdiction in the case.

A mew in- vestigation was ordered, and still there has been no settlement of the case. “What is the reason for this delay?” asked Senator Robinson. ““The indisposition of the commis slon to push through a case involving a reduction of dutles,” replied Dr Dennis.
