Army General Staff Rejects New Defense Doctrine
Washington October 13 The army general staff rebutted witnesses urging sweeping changes in national defense. Brigadier General Hugh A Drum told the war department board that the proposed department of national defense is unsound and that air power should remain under army control. The staff defended balanced army policy and denied mismanagement of the air service, stressing the doughboy’s role, and opposing a separate air corps. Major General Mason M Patrick, army air chief, opposed transferring experimental aircraft work to private enterprise and denounced Madden’s testimony on wartime funds.
