WASHINGTON. Sept. 22.-—-(AP)
Maintenance of the navy air service
organization in substantially its pres.
out form was advocated today by
Secretary Wilbur before the Presi-
dent's air board. ,
Called as the first witness of the
day by the board. which yesterday
inquired into the policy of the WM
Department and the army air ser-
vice. Mr. Wilbur emphatically op-
posed creation of a. department of
national defense. Such a step. he
declared. would be a. "well nigh ir-
reparable mistake." .
"Air forces.’ he asserted. "form an
essential part of the fabric of the
navy itself. and its administration
and its organization. like all other
administrative problems internal tr

side influences, be solved with the
same efficiency, and with the same
happy results as has been obtained
in similar problems in the past."
The Secretary likewise expressed
opposition to establishment of the
naval air service as a separate corps
analogous to the marine corps and
declared against a single air service.

The ,Navy. he said. requires ll!

of an independent air service. it re-

‘BY TIRETTEN.
To Handle Social Part
Of Local Activities—
T o ‘ Boost Depart-
ment
. A mark of honor and esteem was
conferred «on commissioner D. W.
Harford last night. when at Dorlon's
a gathering of local residents inter-
ested in the fire departments formed
an organization to be known as the
D. W. Harfoyd Association.
Twenty lpca'l residents present
were admitted to the organisation as
members. and Mr. Hal-ford was
chosen President, and Charles Dil-
worth Secretary.
The occasion was one which has
become an annual affair. Four
years use many local men worked
for the election of Mr. Harford as
Secretary of the State Fireman’s As-
sociation. He has held this posi-
tion since. and each year has in-
vlied gnumber of his friends to dine
with him. At the dinner held last
night at Doglons with Chief George
130an u toastmaster. it was de-
cided that the formation of a so-
‘ciety for the handling of the social
and of fire department activities. to
work for the betterment of the local
fire departments. especially with
their relation to the State Associa-
tion. would be advantageous.

It was learned today that one local
resident when solicited for a contri-
bution to the Hospital Fund offered
repay the cost of a. new ambulance.
The name of the donor is being
withheld for the present, but it is
known to be a lady w he has been
so touched by the Hospital appeal
and the urgentfneed for better am~
buionce service. that she decided to
give the institution whatever amount
it would cost to provide a first class
ambulance. "
Wonderful Generosity.
This wonderful generosity on her
pm is but unconninnrcsuencot‘ifi
hold that thefiiOspllsl appeal has on
the people of Norwalk. Surely there
is no more worthy local cause and,
from all quarters. there is an in-
creasing tide of sympathy for this
movement.
Old prejudices are being buried in
the realization that the Norwalk
Hospital is the city’s only hospital.-
that ltsrmanngement is efficient. and
that whatever differences have exist-
ed in the past have now entirely dis-
appeared.
Many persons who have already
contributed amounts less than they
could really afford are sending in sd~
ditionul subscriptions to the Nurses'
Home Fund. These extra contribu-
tions may be necessary. if the“ goal
of 380.000 is to be reached.

That rum ships are lending their
cargoes along the Norwalk shores
is the belief of the Stamford police.
According to a report coming from
Stamford, it is thought by the Lock
City police that the 260 cases of
Scotch whiskey and the six barrels
of malt that were captured in that
city early Sunday morning were un-
loaded either at Wilson’s Point or
along the Tokeneke shore.
The whiskey and malt. valued at
$11,500. had been shipped to this
side recently from England and it is
thought that it was taken off one
of the large rum boats outside the
12 mile limit and loaded onto a
mailer boat which carried it into
