Fresh blood, active brains and the elimination of all flunkyism and favoritism for those who wear gold lace on the part of its Washington representatives is needed. “Why not select a president about whom the alr-minded of this country can rally—really rally Mitchell is Not Mentioned. Col. Mitchell's name is not men- tioned, nor had there been any inten- tion on the part of his supporters that it would be until the day of the con- vention. Then the gathering was to be “stampeded.”” News of the pro- posal, however, leaked out in Wash- ington aeronautical circles and spread like wildfire, so whatever plans for secrecy were laid now are worthless. The National Aeronautic Associa- tion, with headquarters here, was founded at the national air meet in Detroit in 1922, Howard E. Coffin, who served as a member of the Presi- dent's aircraft board, is credited with having concelved and developed the plan and he served as its first presi- dent. In addition, he bore most of the expense of organization and main- tenance for the first year. The association opened up a pre- tentious suite at 26 Jackson Place and started off with a bang. Gradually the office force decreased and the policy was tempered down to a great extent. In 1923, at St. Louis, Fred B. Patter- son of the National Cash Register Co., Dayton, was chosen president and Godfrey L. Cabot was elected the fol- lowing year at the Dayton air meet and convention. He, likewise, is cred- ited with having footed a large part of the expenses and although a drive for membership had been in progress since organization no sensational cam- paign ever was undertaken. Remained Alone in Dispute. Offices here were transferred to the third floor of 1623 H street, and the organization moved along quietly and unobtrusively. It did not take a stand raft controversy and out- participated in the Congres- sional hearings to a very little degree. An important duty, the promotion of nir meets and the homologation of air- craft records, hus been carried on by the contest committee, headed by Or- ville Wright. ton views the organization and its president, Mr. Cabot, who was re- elected last year, with great respect and feels it has satisfied the need for it to date and will in the future. There is need for such an_institution to foster and encourage flying, it is held, no greater example being given than that which occurred within the last week, of taking steps for a Dis- trict of Columbia air port. Then there is the group headed by the United States Air Force Associa- tion, whose views about the organiza- tion are set forth in the statement quoted above.

One school of thought in Washing- | in and out of the Alr Force Associa- tion, who feel that the Aeronautic Asscciation did nothing to arouse public interest in the airplane, while Mitchell did it all. The congressional investigations, the President’s air board and the court-martial got the subject from coast to coast in a man- ner that the Aeranautic Assoclation, | under its present policy never could hope to do, they say. Mitchell Not Campaigning. Col. Mitchell, it is authoritatively stated, has not or will not lift a finger to promote his own candidacy for the presidency of the National Aeronautic Association. On July 2 a_committee from the Alr Force Association called on him at Emergency Hospital, where he underwent an operation for ap- pendicitis, discussed their plans with him and recefved a promise that if elected he would serve. Since his resignation from the Army and the subsequent lecture tour, he and Mrs. Mitchell have settled down on thelr colonial estate at Middle- burg, Va., and the fighting airman is known never to have mentioned the word “air” In months, For the first time since he entered the Army he has been at liberty to spend unlimited time with his horses and dogs, which constitute an irrevocably hobby. Fox hunting and bird sho,ting is all that he asks for. Shortly after he settled down for a rest he was approached on the ques- tion of running for national com- mander of the American Legion, but this subject he flatly refused to dis- cuss or consider. He did yield to the appeal of Vincent B. Costello Post of the District Leglon and said he would serve as commander of that organiza- tion if elected. Seen as National Leader. The subject of “what will happen if Mitchell gets in the National Aeronautic Association” has been buzzing around in aviation cir- cles. There are many who feel that it will be a boon to the country, that his following will line up in the organization and that he will be the “spokesman” on air power for the masses. Persons ad- mittedly against him have stated there is no denying the fact that he “would be the best man in the wonld for the job” if he could be controlled and restrained. ‘The group that is admittedly alarmed. however, declared it would be like turning a bull loose in a china shop.

There ‘still is another group who, conceding the election even before there is tangible evidence of victory, helieved that the whole thing will flop. Mitchell has seen his day and he would have to live a great many years before he could drum up one half the enthusiasm for him and his defense plans that existed in stormy 1925. He might scintillate for a few weeks at the head of the organiza- tion, issue statements and prepare a charge on Congress, but the people are “sick” of aviation, now that the two five-year bullding programs for the Army and Navy have been ap- proved, even though no money was included. Opponents Not Yet United. What efforts, if any, have been or will be taken to block the Philadel- phia stampede have not come to light. There has not vet appeared an assocfation opposed to Mitchell or one that is backing Mr. Cabot for a third term, although he is understood to be through with the tasks No anti- Mitchell leader has arisen on the horizon, but it is known if one does he might be able to muster up a good sized army, at least in Washington. The National Aeronautic Associa- tion, with Col. Mitchell at its head, would have to bé on good terms with the War and Navy Departments and the amircraft trade to function prop- erly, some air enthusiasts believe, while there appear just as many to declare that Congress needs the ad- vice of such an organization, and Capitol Hill would be the battle- ground, not the departments. Col. Mitchell at present is vacation- ing in Maine, while Mr. Cabot is at his home in Boston: The latter prob- ably will not return to Washington again until after the-Philadelphia air meet and convention.” " DAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., AUGUST 8 1926—PART 1. SHIP IN BOMB TES DEFENDS MITCHELL, Alabama Has Big Hole in Side :Made by Indirect Hit and Not Reported. By a Staff Correspondent of The Star | CRISFIELD, Md., August 5.—The contention of former Col. William ] Mitchell that the Navy's official report ‘|on the results of aerial bombing tests in sinking two_battleships in Chesa- peake Bay in 1921 did not give full credit to the air forces s partly borne out_by discoverles of a salvage com- pany now attempting to raise the Ala- bama, one of the bombed battleships. The Navy reported that the death blow was dealt the hattleship from a direct hit amidships. Engineers of the Union Shipbuilding Co. of Balti- more have found, however, that the actual cause of sinking probably was a gaping hole in the side below the engine room under the . waterline, which was not mentioned by the in- spectors. This hole was caused, according to the engineers, by a bomb which drop- ped in the water beside the ship, thus showing that a direct hit is not neces- sary. Raising Is Big Feat. The raising of the Alabama from the shallow waters at the mouth of Tangler Sound is_considered one of the most difficult feats of marine en- gineering on record. She is deeply imbedded in sand, although the super- structure is above water. This sand, in fact, now covers the bomb's injury discovered by divers. It evidently was invisible when the original in- spection was made. With the first report to the Navy on hand, the salvaging company went to work in May, expecting to have the Alabama in Baltimore by July 4. The discovery of the hole below the sand line, however, makes it doubtful whether the task can be completed before Labor day. To raise the Alabama it is neces- sary to dig away the sand, uncover the hole and then to patch it under water. Three patches, 15 feet wide by 40 feet long, have been prepared to be lowered into place as soon as the hole is laid bare. Then the water will be pumped from the ship so she can be raised. Brass Work Stolen. The superstructure of the Alabama still is above water, visible for miles across Tangier Sound. A few hundred feet away is a jumbled mass of wreck- | age jutting out of the water, which is all that remains of the battleshin Texas, destroyed at the same time. Before the salvaging company start- ed work river pirates had made away with the most valuable part of the salvage material—several thousand dollars’ worth of brass work in the superstructure. “The Navy Department did a won- derful job in raising the $-51," said one of ‘the engineers, “but that was child’s play compared with getting this wreck off the bottom. The S-51 was a 1,000-ton ship, while this weighs about 11,000 tons.” SESQUI HOST TO MILLION. Total Attendance Up to Date An- nounced by Official.
