Orders for new airplanes will be placed by the War Department to prevent complex collapse of *h" airplane manufacture.g capacity built up during the war. The machines to bo ordered will be of ad? vanced types developed from war ex? perience ai I designed by engineers working under conditions more favor? able than thos" exi I ng before the war. Acting Secretary Crowell disclosed the department's plans to-day in ex ? plaining it had been decided to aban? don Barron, Call, Carruthers, Love, Rich and Taliaferro fields, in Texas; T .;"-- Fand, in Miss - -pi; Gerstner Field, in Louisiana; Taylor Field, in Alabama, and Eberts ????.id. in Arkan? sas. These fields are being used to store equipment. This equipment is to be concentrated at fields to be retained, which already have been announced. The ten holds designated to be aban? doned then will be turned over to any other government r1 partment that might need them, or the buildings will be sold or salvaged. Definite pians for the air service await action of Congress as to the military policy. Secretary Crowell said the department, however, was moving toward a broad constructivi programme, designed to cover not only military needs, but also relations between the government ar : a il terprise for promotion of atr naviga? tion.
