In announcing the creation-of a general headquarters for the Air Force, under the command of Lt.- Col. Frank Andrews, an experienced pilot of 50 years of age, the Secre- tary for War, Mr. Dern, asserts that the step is regarded by mill- tary authorities as being "Of tremendous importance." 0

Supplanting, to all intents and purposes, Major-Gen. Foulois, the chief of the Air Corps, Col An- drews, who is to have the rank of brigadier-general, will be given control of all military aviation, with the exception of a few ob- servation and other non-fighting 'planes. He will exercise authority now scattered. In the bands q generals in nine corps areas
