Army cooperation for the annual meet of the Intercollegiate Flying Association scheduled for May 13 at Mineral has been refused so far as the furnishing of planes by the War Department is concerned. This announcement, made yesterday, is not directed especially against the Association, but comes in consequence of the policy of the department as set forth in a recent order by Secretary Weeks to confine the use of Army planes and other equipment strictly to the Army.
No Exception to Order
The leaders of the Intercollegiate Association have lately taken up the matter of the War Department providing planes for the meet with several Army officials including Secretary Weeks, General March, chief of staff, and General Menoher, chief of the air service. These men, however, all agreed that it would be impractical to make any exception to the rule.
The chances of the meet now being held are very slight. There is a possibility of the Association's obtaining planes from the Curtis company, but the cost of renting and insuring the necessary number is likely to prove too heavy for this plan to be considered.
