Army's Oldest Pilot

Fort Sam Houston, Tex., Feb. 28--Major William C. Ocker, Army's oldest pilot in point of service and a pioneer inventor of flying devices, pleaded not guilty today at his general court-martial on charges he "cussed out" a superior officer.

He was called to plead after the prosecution's only witness for the day testified that Ocker had spoken disparagingly and insubordinately to his superior officer, Lient, Col. Henry A. Clagett.
