He said: “We do not need to be reminded today, 1 know, that the problem of successtul democi 15 & real one. zine bocks” which have been published, all the newspapers, have been rais- ing the question here and therc very seriously as to the success or failure of democratic government. REV. THEODORE S.

Just then, at that very time, the problem of recon- struction, of building again a nnited natipn, was before Mr. Lincoln. .

Chairman Nye of the committee has received a communication from Will Hays, former chairman of the republican national committee, say- ing he would appear any time the committee desired and adding he knew nothing of the existence of the Continental company or of the deal which American oil men were supposed to have secreted in it an unexplained Liberty bond fund of $3,080,000. 17 | Republican/ Fund From that fund, the committee as- certained, Binclair gave former Sec. retary of Interior Fall $23,000 after Fall had leased him Teapot Dome. Other parts of the fund have been traced, but the committee has yet to ascertain where $1,910,400 of it went, Hays testified in the earlier inves- tigations that Sinclair gave the com- mittes a $75,000 contribution. Nye has announced the committee has evidence that the contribution came from the Continental profits. He be. lieves Sinclair gave the bonds tp Senator T. Coleman Dupont of Dela« ware, who cashed them and applied the cash on notes owed by the re- publican national committee at the Empire Trust company, New York. Dupont is too {ll to testify, but Leon Baldwin, head of the Empire Trust, Hays and other republican leaders are expected to be called when the committee resumes hear- ings Wednesday or Thureday. Hays has indicated to Nye he would like to delay his appearance until the latter part of the month, and this may be permitted. Adams’ Statement John T. Adams, former republican | national chairman, now en route to Italy on tife Conte Blacamano, was asked by the United Press for 8 statement regarding the committee charges. His reply follows: I know nothing of ,Continental bonds having been received by the republican natiopal committee. Treasurer Upham and his assistants raised the 1920 deficit after & stren- uous eampaigw of four years, extend- ing ito, every. stite, and he gave the senate committee a complete Nst of the ten thousand and more contrib- utors.” With attention centered largely at the capitol as a result of the latest| Teapot Dome developments, the dis- trict supreme court today also was handling two phascs of the ofl situ- ation. An answer was expected from 1. -lort W, Stewart, of the Stan- dard Oll of Indiona on his habeas .8 proceedings, arlsing trom his arrest by the scnate after he failed to answer committee questions.

However, it is not| proceeding on the premise that al the simple, few-hour proposition|the student needs to learn is how to that some few of the fiying achools| handle the controls of an airplane, of the country make it appear, In{acqpire a little confidence, then go the opinlon of many of those highjout and get his experience.

In keen “discussion that has surrounded-the. question of late, the first two Amoricans to span the At- lantic by alr dyring the last summer. are to be fond at oppdlite extremes, Months of Training It takes months and months of training and many hours of actual| solo fiying to make any person skill. ful in the art of handling a plane, according to Col. Charles A. Lind- bergh, who is convinced that the necemsity of producing skilled pllots is one of the most important tasks before the aviation industry. On the other hand, Clarence Chamberlin is certain that ten hours in the air is all that is requis- ite to making & pilot. If a student has proved his ability to solo in this period or after it, he is sufficlently on to the job.of taking off and land- ing & plane, Chamberlin believes, This division of sentiment between those who are recognized as know- ing their business .extends through- out the entire fleld. The Bureau of Aeronautics of the United States department of com- merce in its capacity of gulding the infant industry, ia vitally- concerned in the question. It is not to be de- nied that there is a measure of ace curacy in the charge that many "half-baked” pligts are being turned out in what has been designated the “turn-‘em-out-quick” school Federal officials, airplane manufac- turers, airline operators, and thoso who operate reputable flying schools, declare that the situation which per- mits inadequately trained fiyera to take to the air and end in a smash. up is hurting the whole cause of air transport by giving the impression that the airplane still is not safe de- spite some remarkable accomplish- ments. These, in the main, are the groups anxious that a halt be called to this proceas. Just what form this reme- dial action will take finds its spon- sors in a measure of disagreement. Shall the Bureau of Aeronautics assume supervision over the schoola or shall it perhaps, prescribe a standard training course—both as to curricula and types of planes used in instruction—or shall the question be left to the prospective student for the exercise of his discretion? All these have their spovsors. In addi- tion, it §s thought by some that the| impositien of more stringent . re- quirements for the licensing of pi- lots will prove an adequate golution to the question. | One must either buy or rent a plane for getting one’s 10 hours of sole fiying before a private pilot's license can be obtained. Planes of certain types may be bought for around $1,- 000, or one may rent a plane for from §20 to $30 an hour. Buch fiying instruction is quite re- mote from the ideas of a large group which are excellently summed up by James G. Ray, an official of a large plane-making concern. The student fiyer, in Mr. Ray's gpinion, should be given inrtruction in aix subjects before he is assumed to be capable of skilled piloting. These six Include nomenclature; theory of flight; en- gine construction, operation and maintenance; plane construction and maintenance; meteorology; and air- plane instruments. The student should have this training whether it takes him thyes months or three years, In Mr. Ray's opinion. - Many others are in full accord with him. On their part, many of the schools which are assailed are not without their defense, They have the sup- port of many other than Chamber- lin whose names are respected in aviation. They are convinced that their procedure is sound, in that pi- lots are going to be one of aviation's sorest needs at an early date, and that their briet courses have pra- duced many excellent plane opera- tors. A crash now and then is as inevitable in aviation as it is in mo- toring, they maintain. It their practice was as harmful and inadequate as alleged, they are convinced that it would be detrimen- tal to the sale of aviation instruc- tion on their part. Why give a man ground-work, that is, instruction in aviation the- ory, plane maintenance and the like, it he docs not want it, they ask. Among their students are many wha merely want to learn how to fly a plane and care absolutely nothing ubput other instruction. How many who drive automobiles know more than the barest principles of its op- eration? How many can repair their automobiles when something goes wrong? Asking these question, they declare the situation is exactly com- parable in both fields. Hit Back At Manufacturer. They hit back at the manufactur- er directly with the when he gives instruction to a buy- er of one of his planes, it includes even less than thelr own courses. According to some, this instruction in some cases, at least, includes but five hours in the air and is concern- ed with nothing more than training in operating the controls of the ship. In the matter of fiying school What Do You;' Checks charge that| Instruction Only in |Others. hewever, The whele question of flying struction as offered by a few of the many acheois in the fleld is an im- portant question and its importance is not lost upon those who are de- termined that the industry's progress shall be orderly and safe.
