The chief of the Army Air Forces predicts pilots will face robot craft and auto guided missiles soon. He told the Senate Military Committee he wants 6,500 aircraft and 600,000 personnel during the transition.

Budget talks suggest halving Arnold's research and development funds from 250 million to 125 million, with the navy cutting its aircraft research from 156 million to 61.6 million.
