After driving this heading about ten feet we went on fhrough the shell and, at 12 or 15 fect. when we broke through the limestone ledge, we came point blank into the arfginal cavern. This was just below the slide, six or elght feet above Collins, “To take the man from his pres- ‘nt position would probably result in the death of one or more of the rescue party.

CONEIDENTIAL TESTIMONY IN ANRGRAET CASE Secretaries Weeks and Wilbur Represented in House Probe WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.—The status of the nation’s aircraft defense forces held the attention of two con- gressional committees Tuesday with the house military committee re-en- tering the controversy to resume hearing on the bill to create a uni- fied alr service. The house aircraft committee, at the same time, arranged for a spec- fal executive session to receive con- fidential information from represen- tatives of Secretary Weeks and Sec- retary Wilbur on plans of their re- spective departments for national de- fense against attack from the air. Brig. General Mitchell, assistant army air chief and central figure in the controversy and Theodore Roosevelt, former assistant secretary of the navy, were the witnesses called by the military committee. Colonel Roosevelt told the military committee it would be a “grave mis- take if the army and navy alr ser- vices were united as proposed in the pending Curry bill. Money saved by such a step would be false econ- omy, he said. The bill is opposed by the administration and favored by General Mitchell.
