WASHINGTON, March 7. —Courtmartial of Brigadier General Wm. M. Mitchell, assistant chief of army air service, was discussed as a serious possibility in high army circles tonight. Appointment of Lieutenant Colonel Fechet to succeed Mitchell, involving the latter's reduction to the rank of colonel as punishment for his mili- tant attack on the army and navy hierareh: for alleged negligence in air preparedness, has not satisfied demands in certain. high milita circles that Mitchell be “disciplined.

He nizes, however, that there is abund- ant technical justification for trying “thé flying general” on charges of repeated insubordination. While refusing to discuss this sub- ject today, the demoted flyer repeat- ed that he «vould continue his fight for a unified air service either inside; or outside the service.

When Fechet recommended to Secretary of War Weeks as a suc cessor to Mitchell, for the latter's alleged insubordination in charging negligence in national air defense, Weeks asked for a description of the man.
