AVIATION TRAINING IN COLLEGES MAY BE MOVE OF 11. S. Congressional Committee Considers Plans to Aid Air Development. Bv Times Special WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.—Establishment of an air reserve corps In colleges throughout the country to foster development of aviation is under consideration by the special House committee investigating aircraft. Colleges would be assigned regulation airplanes and competent instructors to teach flying, just as they are now assigned rifles and other military equipment by the Government for R. O. T. C. units. Students graduated in these courses would be given commissions in the reserves. Beside its value in military preparedness, one of the principal aims of the movement would be the advancement of commercial aviation. This plan hau been studied carefully by the committee, and is expected to be included among recommendations to Congress. Aid Private Fleets The future of commercial aviation has been given thorough consideration. It is the general opinion that the Government should aid. Congress is against any form of direct subsidy, but various types of indirect aid have been suggested. These includes 'l. Granting of mail contracts, for carrying certain types of mail, to commercial air companies. 2. Abolition of Government aviation repair shops, turning this business over to private companies. 3. Establishment of landing fields, mapping out of airways by the Government, and setting up certain restrictions to protect aviation. 4. Guarantee by the Government that inventions of private companies will be utilized. The general aim is to remove certain competition private air concerns would now have from the Government. The commercial fleets would form a reserve to be used in time of war, with trained pilots ready for service. U. S. Behind Whether the committee will go so far as to recommend a unified air service, championed by Brig. Gen. “Billy” Mitchell, assistant chief of the Army Air Service, is not known. It is agreed generally, however, that the United States is dropping behind in its development, that some steps are necessary. Another suggestion is the establishment of a National School of Aviation, similar to West West Point and Annapolis. IS IN JAIL Chicago Gangster Convicted of liquor Violation.
