* 2,320 AIRPLANES URGED FOR ARMY Col. Bradley Tells Rotary Club Minimum Necessary for National Safety. The United States must have a| mirimum of 2,320 military airplanes | in the Army Air Corps and General Headquarters Air Force for proper protection in case of emergency, Lieut. Col. Follett Bradley, General Headquarters Air Force, told mem- bers of the Rotary Club at a luncheon meeting yesterday. The club had as its guests 36 delegates to the first National Intercollegiate Flying Con- Cerence. Ool. Bradley, intelligence officer on the staff of the newly created Gen- eral Headquarters Air Force, in the first public address miade here by an officer of the new force, said that, although the present authorized strength of the Air Corps is 1,800 planes, the Army never has had more than 1,400 ships and is dangerously below strength. Regular Funds Only Hope. He said hopes for obtaining addi- tional fighting aircraft out of the new public works fund had been blasted by developments at the Cap- itol and that the Nation must look to ; regular War Department appropria- | tions for building up its air force. Of | the 2,320 planes required, 930 are to g0 into the General Headquarters Air Force. The majority of the planes will be used for training at the Army flying schools, for Reserve flying, and in Panama, Hawali and other posses- sions, Flying Progress Traced. Col. Bradley traced the develop- ment of military flying from its first appearance in battle.in an Italian campaign in 1911 to the present day. He said that air power had shifted THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, THURSDAY, APRIL 4, 1935. to the bombardment airplane, which now is the basic type for all air forces. 80 deadly has the bomber become, not only in its own fleld but also in fighting off hostile attacking planes, he said, that it now is becoming nec- essary for pursuit airplanes to carry unusually heavy, long-range machine guns or even small cannon with which to fight bombardment airplanes or to attempt to bomb the bombers while in flight. The college flying delegates, occu- pying an enlarged ‘“speakers’ table,” represented 22 colleges. The avia- tion program was arringed by Chester H. Warrington, president of the Aero Club of Washington.

One bill proposed licensing of all forms of gambling, excepting lotteries, under direction of the State Racing Commission, to provide funds. HARRIMAN JOINS INBILL PROTEST Testifies Regulation Instead of Holding Company Aboli- tion Desirable. By the Associated Press. Abolition of utility holding com- panies was opposed today by Henry I. Harriman, president of the Cham- ber of Commerce of the United States, on the ground that “better times are coming and the utilities will need large additional funds to develop their fleld.” “Such investments also will be of great benefit to the heavy goods in- dustries, which sre so much in need of stimulation,” he added in testimony before the House Interstate Commerce Committee. The New England utilities execu- tive—he has been in that business since 1907—gave his views on the ‘Wheeler-Rayburn bill for eliminating holding companies in-five years. Calls Bill Too Drastic. “I feel, and I believe the public generally feels,” he said, “that the time has come for the proper and sane regulation and reorganization of utility holding systems, but I do not believe that the drastic provisions of section 10, providing for the dissolu- tion of holding companies by 1940, or, for that matter, at any other definite date, is desirable. “The harmful practices which have arisen in the utility holding company fleld can be avoided by regulation and by the gradual rearrangement of hold- ing companies into regional grcups. “In fact, even if there were no new legislation, there would be little prob- ability of repetition in the future of many of the abuses against which leg- islation would be directed. . Fear Heavy Losses. “If any hard and fixed date is set for the dissolution of helding com- panies, whether it be ."'ymnn or 10 FORMER REL'EF AuD'TOR wuh:ru.ued yesterday on a charge, years hence, such action mm impossible further financing by wmplnlu ot ihe nndl of the constituent ts. mm’. the lean of & date for dissolution will inevitably lead to heavy losses by hundreds of thousands of investors, large and small, through- out the country.” As a substitute for the dissolution provisions of section 10, he suggested two amendinents, Could Own Two Systems. The first would provide that holding companies may continue to own two | integrated utility systems instead of one such system, if, in the judgment of the Becurities Commission, it be in the pub.ic interest. The second would substitute a pro- vision that all holding companies must, by 1940, dispose of the control of their companies not included in the two integrated systems, and that if any holding company fails to do 80, the commission may request the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals to appoint voting trustees for the atocks of such companies not included in the two integrated systems.
