STATEMENTS BY "MAJ, WILLIAMS,

Claims He Didn't Say He ‘Was Against U. S. Having Good Air Force.

(Maj. Al Williams, Page 12)

"Times Special © CINCINNATI, Feb. 1. — Maj. ‘George Fielding Eliot charged here

States does not need a tremendous air force. Maj. Williams charged that Maj, Eliot obtained his materials from Army and Navy sources unsympathetic to air *power. “That definitely is a ~misrepre-

We are protected on two sides by great oceans. Our defense lies on those oceans.” Maj. Williams made his charges in an article written for Scrip, Howard Newspapers. “In his published statements,” he wrote, “Eliot has done more than

defense machinery and organization compared to countries. “His statements sniff of Army and Navy statistical iceboxes.”

Maj. Eliot declared it was wrong

to say he did not believe in a striking air force. But he said he - | believed that such a force was possible without setting up a separate air department patterned after Europe: “Let’s make our preparations according to the needs of the United States, not according to the needs of Europe,” he said.
