[ - . " ARMY AND NAVY N * ORGY OF SPENDING - 15 MADDENS CLAN (Continued from First Page) — planés that a pilot has @ifficulty in seelng out of,” he exclaimed. Fallure of the army and navy to e cpend thelr money “intelligently” in the air service, he declared, is not unique, 'as “similar extravagant, set-no-where programs are being ) carried on in tank development, ar. tillery development, chemical war- fare and ammunition devclopment.” Mr. Madden submitted a plan for promoting army and navy aviation, © ut a cost of $87,600,000, which, among other things, would provide for discontinuance of all aeronauti- cal engineering and design work by y the two military. services, with the ) abolition of the naval alrcraft fac- tory at Philadelphia and the army engineering aircraft division, He would place all deslgning and con- ; struction of planes in the hands of private manufacturers, with the re sponsibillty of performance under deslgn, and with the military serv. ices furnishing only the specifica~ ¢ tlons desired. Predicating his recommendation upon present expenditure of $86,- 000,000 a year for army and navy o aviation, he sald that “working backward from this sum, in other words trying to determine just how much aviation of a military charac- o ter might be indulged in for this expenditure, T suggest the following: “Fifteen hundred new airplanes of various designs, at 20,000 each could be purchased annually, v amounting in the aggregate to $30,- 000,000, “Ten ground service men for each airplane, which is more than ample ¢ to properly care for the airplanes, at 31500 each per enlisted man, which I think would be a fair average to cover his army pay, his clothing, subsistence, etc., would cost $22,500,~ 000, ifteen hundred officers, or one officer for each ten enlisted men, or one officer for each of the 1500 air- planes, would cost approximately $7.500,000, “If thése airplanes are each flown 400 hours a year t+at would be an approximate mileage flown of 45,- b 000,000, many times the mileage of these past year ; a liberal estimate of the cost of maintaining them and their power plants could aot exceed 60 cents per mile, the labor having been provided for in the enlisted estimate above; or a total of $22, 500,000, $5,000,000 would be a lib- eral estimate for the maintenance of » all the flying flelds necessary as hases of operation for these 1500 planes. “A total of $87,500,000 as against 86,000,000 now being expended for which we have received nothing.” After the first year, under such a program, Mr. Madden believed $75,- 000,000 annually would suffice for ¥ aviation work. Atfir dng his belief in the *po- tentialities of alreraft both in war and peace, Mr. Madden declared that in his épinfon ‘“we are barely past the threshold of aeronautical de- velopment." Challenges Criticlsm If reports reaching him were true, he gaid the “charge has been made here that military aviation has been retarded because congre has not voted adeguate appropriations.” % chairman of the appropriations com- mittee he would “not let that charge |© go unchallenged.” Reviewing appropriations for avi- o ation hoth during and since the war, he w “ready to concede that enough planes and spares are not available fully to take care of (the alr services) plans, “but in view of ? {he ‘millions spent,” he said, “it is | 1ot ‘too much’ to expect more than is in evidence In tangible results.” : the demands,” he continued, A vof some of these bureau people who coma before ns would bankrupt the government. The army and navy are | the least concerned wherc the money is coming from and they X X x want to be ready at the drop of the hat to go after or meet the other fellow. “I don't condemn them for that, but I do condemn them when congress ’ has appropriated all that the country can afford for trying to blame con- gress when they find themselves in difficult bLecause they have not w wiscly applied the money placed at posul.” ing the experimental policy of e two air services as having developed “almost it not quite nothing,” Mr. Madden cited state- ments before the house appropria- tions committee by both Major General Patrick and Rear Admiral 4 William A. Moffett, naval air chicf, as 4o the result of that policy. Quoting Admiral Moffett as having told the committce that tie navy" , experimental expenditures havi sulted in piacing it “on a parit not in advance, of other nations in g0 far as types of alrcraft are con- As |t c s | NEW BRITAIN WASHINGTON BLANKS PIT Goose Goslin, men in third inning by this smack, which broke record. o D il g snapped by cameraman as he loped in on his homer yesterday, He scored two Carey tried to bunt in first (above), but later drew a base on balls cerned,” Mr. Madden declared h could “find no evidence of it.” He cited a statement of General Patrick that larger scale production by the army without the experimen- tal work would have been *“money thrown away" and “obsolete and in- efficient” planes, with the obser tion: “I fear this so-called research work has been mostly wasted.” Stating that he favored confining activitics of the two alr services to practice flying for war training, Mr. Madden declared: “Phe purpose of cither army or navy during peace time is to pre- pare for war. The joy-riding cruisc around the world, jumps across the | Pacific, attempts to discover the north pole, ete rve no purpose in this training. The air service should confine their flying to flying definit ly established as a training for war.

Meanwhile the until league Germany Hesitates, Spokesmen for the Germans todk occasion this afternoon to remark that the text of the agreement re. garding Germany's entry into the league of nations had not been defls nitely subscribed to by the German delegation, The lmpression In Locarno is that the allies action concerning thih question takes the form of a kind of gentlemen's agreement to support any reasonable view of Germany concerning the character of her pars tielpation in the obligations of league membership, Private conferences which may have an influence on the final resulf of the conference are scheduled to- day among the leading delegates, The questions to be considered are those outside the conference agenda such as the evacuation of the Cologne zone, the matter of the French regime In the Sarre Valley, which Germany wants lightened, and possibly also the problem of restors ing to Germany one or more of her colonies under the mandate system.
