It developed that after the sculptor had written to Secretary Tumulty last November in regard to alleged defects in the aviation organ- ization and the desirability of having certain’ experts called in, the presi- dent asked him tq present his ideas later. On Jan. 2 the president wrote {a letter to Mr. Borglum asking him to come to Washington and Ja; the mat ter before the secretary of war and. retary’s personmal staff, discover the facty by personal investigation. Borg- lum did this, and on Feb. 1 the presi- dent sent a preliminary report from a Norwegian of |him to Secretary Baker with . this Brooklyn, was sent to Governor’s Is- |note: land for trying to evade the draft. He claimed to be an anarchist. “Here is Mr. Borglum's Teport. Is there not someone entirely disconnect- ed from aeronautics and from those who are prominent in carrying out the airplane program who you can ask to 80 over this thing with an unbiased mind and give us his naive impres- sions of it? There may be something worthy of our consideration and sug- gestions worthy to be adopted.” On March 29, after an ‘exchange of telegrams with Borglum, the presi- dent wrote that he had placed the ma- terial the latter had furnisheq at the disposal of gentlemen to whom he had committed the task of making a s tematic inquiry into the whole av tion service. These gentlemen were the special committee headed by H. Snowden Marshall of New York, whose ¢ report preceded the recent reorganization of the army aviation Edward Shortt | service and the appointment of John D. Ryan as director-general. Not an Official Investigator. Apparently the sculptor resented not himself. In responsé to a complaint that he had not been supplied with suitable expert assistance, the presi- dent on_April 15 informeg him that he feared he had been under a serious misapprehension as to' his status. “T never at any time constituted you an official - investigator,” wrote the presi- dent. “I merely gave you the right to look into the matter of your own mo- tion, and I am sure the letter which the secretary of war provided you with he gave you with the same purpose and idea. The president closed by expressing the hope that Mr. Borglum would feel it his duty to turn over fo the official investigators any evidence in his pos- session. It has been reported since that the sculptor refused to deal with the Marshall committee. Mr. Borglum had a conference today with members of ‘the senate miljtary committee and gave them a list of witnesses he desires summoned if the committee reopens its investigation as a result of his disclosure. He reiterat- ed his assertions that criminal liability could be established. Request for a Military Inquiry. General Squiers' request for a mili- tary inquiry, to clear up the matter so far as he ang his subordinates are concerned, is before Secretary Baker and there has been no intimation of what action the secretary will take. Mr. Baker is making a personal study of-the situation. Besides such statements as Mr. Borglum has, made, he has before him voluminous cable correspondence with European officials as well as American officers on the other side dealing with aircraft types and changes, the proceedings of the aircraft board as shown by its records and all other data throwing list any phase of the matter. He said to- day that he had not concluded h study or arrived at any determination as to whether there was ground shown for prosecution of an official. TEXT OF LETTER GIVEN OUT BY GUTSON BORGLUM Claiming His Work of Investigating Was Systematically Blocked. St y ‘Washington, May 6.—Upon learning of the publication of letters and mes- sages addressed to him by President Wilson in_connection with the air- craft programme, Gutson Borglum te- night guve out the text of an open letter to the president in which he expressed. the hope that the “camou- flage deiiberately planned by a group s Been Issued By the Def Culmination of Statements Made' By Gutson Borglum, fo Whom Is Credited Assertions That Corruption In the Expenditure of Funds and Pro-German Intrigue Have Hindered Airplane Production—Major-General Squier, Until Recently In Direct Charge of Army Aviation, Has = .

In the course of a long let- ter he declared that “the aero depart- ment is full of profiteering -and that hundreds of millions have gone,” and that when he commenced his inves- tigation from an office in the war de. partment building assigned to him, His work was systematically blocked, the extent ‘even' of threntening wite nesses. He named in this connection Stanley King, assigned as an aide to his work, and asserted that Major General Squier. chief of the siznal corps, “acted in like manner.” > Conspiracy to Deceive. ery official that I approached and from whom I had the right to re- ceive aid and courtesy entered into a general conspiracy to deceive to mis- lead, and to prevent learninz th truth about the aeronautic situation, the letter continued. “I do not pre- sume to give the reason for thi Remarking that Colonel .

Aeronautic Men Ignored. “T have said that aeronautic men have been snubbed and ignored, and that factories that knew the art of airplane building are even at this writing Without the slightest consid= eration by the group who dealt out the colossal funds for their own pur- pose.” Liberty motors were developed for the purpose of monopolizing the en- gine making business in the country, Borglum asserted, and he concluded: “Charges more grievous could not have been made against a department or a zroup of men. Seven or eight investigations have been’ made be- sides my own and there is no single Genial of anything T charge.
