AIR PROPOSALS
Baker’s Board Says Corps
Must Be Brought To
High Efficiency
By United Prew.
WASHINGTON. July 23. —
Early official action on the rec-
ommendations of the Baker board
which investigated army aviation
and urged extensive reforms in
the air corps was promised at the
White House today after publica-
lion of the board’s report,,
The report made by a board
headed by Newton D. Baker, sec-
- retary of war under President
Wilson, recommended:
1. Expansion of the army air
corps to 2320 planes, the number
provided in the 1926 congres-
sional act, with a larger ratio of
combat planes.
‘ Calls for National Policy
2. A national aviation policy
be decided on and retained for at
least a “reasonable" length of
”time.
3. Retention of the present air
setup with a closer co ordination
between ground and air troops.
Suggestions of merging all mili-
ary and naval aviation into a sep.
trate unit was called extravagant
ind impracticable.
4. Encouragement of the avia-
ion industry to permit—Hto Ox-
pand quickly and efficiently to
* arilmo productive demands.
6.—Revision of the internal or-
canization of the air corps. In-
crease In the number of flying
hours per pilot from the present
150 to 200 hours to 300 hours
yearly, greater training in flying
under hazardous conditions and
with instruments such as are used
. on commercial planes.
6. A liberal policy in encour-
againg and perfecting experimen-
ial developments and in permit-

negotiation and by open competi-
tion. Suggestions that the gov-
ernment establish and maintain
its- own airplane factories were
condemned.
Much attention was devoted to
the attempt of the army to carry
the malls. Figures compiled on
the flight were a revelation in es-
tablishing that few accidents oc-
curred while actually engaged in
this work despite hazardous
weather conditions.
The report, while finding sev-
eral lessons In the air mail ven-
ture, was full of praise for the
morale and effectiveness of the
service under adverse conditions.
Only One Dissents
The board was unanimous in its
recommendations with the excep-
tion that James H. Doolittle, noted
flyer, protested that a separate
air service should be established.
He joined in the rest of the re-
port. however.
The board was composed of Mr.
Baker, Maj. Gen. H. A. Drum.

Summary of the Aviation Survey
P "WASHINGTON, July 28.—A summary of the Baker ve-
port on army aviation:
While civil and naval aviation in the United States leads
the world, army aviation is behind.
Congress and the budget director have contributed to the
situation by failing to supply funds.
Army and navy aviation should be retained as components
of their respective branches.
The army air fleet should be built up to a minimum of
2826 planes.
There should be a larger ratio of combat planes to other
' kRSt@aVffo-mnsery-shotld--e iondenragen-cepanorerna
ment orders to provide a nucleus for mass production in
wartime. ....
The government should not attempt to, build its own
planes.
The air corps personnel should be increased by 403
officers.
Army flyers should be given at least 300 hours flying
each year instead of the ISO to 200 now allowed.
Flyers should be given training in Instrument and blind
flying and flying under hazardous and unusual weather con-
ditions.
An aviation policy should be decided on and maintained
for a "reasonable" time to develop morale.
Temporary promotions should be permitted for air corps
officers.
There should be a closer understanding of problems and
joint training between ground and air forces.
