But we do know that soles are In that plant and they have delayed the furnishing of the Brlatow ma chines or fighting planes on time to Pershing, and that is the cause of it.

A member of a detective agency had visited the office of Senator Over man for the purpose of exploiting the work of the German spies aa evi denced by the faulty bracket of the airplane.

They were to be furnished. Why wms it not done? Because a German spy. as any senator csn see, had cut ths steel In two and filled It with lead and then painted It over, and when the first machine was tried out It fell to the ground." INVESTIGATION BEGUN. WASHINGTON. March 28. In vestigation Into delay In the airplane program was begun by ths senate military committee today behind closed doors, after several days of discussion in the aenate which culmi nated In the assertion by Senator Overman of North Carolina that part of the trouble was due to German spies In the Curtis plant, which has extensive government contracts. Members of the committee wers pledged to secrecy and Chairman Chamberlain announced that no statement would be Issued until the Inquiry had been completed. Major General George O. Hauler, chief signal officer, and Colonel Deeds, of the aviation branch, were the first witnesses called. They re mained with the committee nearly four hours. The committee plans to hear tomorrow Malor General J. Franklin Bell, who has Just returned from a visit to the American front In France. Later Commander Brlggs, of the British flying corps: Colonel Waldrm, of the American signal corps, and Howard Coffin, chairman of the aircraft board, will be called. Overman Furnishes Names. Senator Overman furnished Chair man Chamberlain with the names of his informants, so that they can bs called. His speech followed charges tnat instead or having by July 1 13.000 airplanes In France or ready for shipment, as provided In the original program, that number would total only thirty-seven, and that the American airplane program was ninety days behind schedule. Senator Overman aald although he would make no charge against any one employe of the Curtis concern, there were spies there and were he secretary of war he would com mandeer the plant and nut in new employes. A metallic brace used in the construction of airplans frames from which a piece of metal had been removed and lead inserted so as to weaken it was exhibited by the senator as a sample of spies' work. Ths first machine tested at ths plant fell, he said, and an investiga tion showed that this tampering had been ths cause. A delay of two months followed, while government Inspectors went over every airplane part in order to replace parts which spies had weakened. The decision to conduct the In qulry behind closed doors was reached by the military committee after a number of members had urged this plan in order to permit the com mittee to Inquire fully into the sltua tlon without disclosing military secrets. Chairman Chamberlain and some others were Inclined to favor open sessions, to clear up misunder standings and conflicting statements. made through Secretary Farrell. During the next few days the pro moters will endeavor to select a de sirable circuit, which will embrace the most convenient and promising cities. It is hoped to have the new venture fairly well organized by Wed nesday, April 8, when a meeting will be held In this city.
