MITCHELL DEFIES CHIEFS AS (Continued from First Page.) who, by falsification attempted to confuse the committeemen in the pursuit of their work, should be tried, was expressed by Gen. Mitchell in beginning his testimony this after- noon before the committee. “This includes myself,” Gen. Mitch- ell declared, adding that there has been “Woeful Ignorance” on the part of certain agencies testifying on the air- craft subject. Gen. Mitchell was called by the committee to discuss, in detail, state- ments by himself and others before that body which had been challenged or criticized, Representative Perkins of New Jersey, the examiner, said. Mr. Perkins called on Gen. Mitchell for his reply to the letter of Secretary Weeks asking for an explanation of certain testimony he had given which was declared to have reflected on the War and Navy Departments. Gen. Mitchell then read his reply to the letter. Infantry Ranked Firat. The general staff belleves that aviation is not the first arm of de- fense, but is on the par with Artillery, the two of them ranking below In- fantry, which is regarded as superior to all, Brig. Gen. H. A. Drum of the general staff told the committee to- day. At the same time Gen. Drum said the American Army Alr Service was cqual, if not superior to any in the world. He cited records estab- lished by American aviation, which showed that this country holds 75 per cent of the world’s marks. Gen: Drum read statements by Gen. of unsaved, who will anger on the earth. “At first Christ, appearing as a cloud no larger than a man’s hand, ~ill begin His trip from heaven to sarth. 1t will require seven days for Him to reach us for He has stops to make. One of these stops will be on a planet, not now visible to any earthly person. That is the planet nearer heaven. There arrangements will be made to feed those saints whom Christ brings back from earth. The journey back will also take seven days.” Cult members' homes are virtually stripped of furniture, only the bare necessities remaining, they having sold almost everything to setle their worldly debts and be prepared for their ascension Leaders in the Seventh-day Ad- ventist Church term the Rowen doc- trine as false and contrary to the teachings of their church run riot in HE RENEWS CHARGES Pershing . tending to show that the accomplishment of air craft was not as great as was belleved. The state- ment cited operations in France in which it was declared that aviators brought back stories of wreaking havoo o the enemy which were found extravagant upon investigation after the armistice. Another was the case of the battleship bombing exer- clses which were held off the Virginia capes, Gen. Persning was quoted as saying they were held under the most favorable circumstances. Speaking for the War Department, Gen. Drum said the activities of the Army and Navy already overlap, and he declared much chaos was the re- sult of an attempt at co-ordination In efforts to support the War Depart- ment argument against a united air force, Gen. Drum cited examples in Great Britain, where efforts to estab- lish a ministry of defense composed of army, navy and aviation were abandoned. Explains Promotions. Discussing the promotion of Air Service officers, Gen. Drum declared they do not get advancements Into higher grades because they are out- ranked by terms of service and be- cause no transfers are now made from the other branches of the service. Questioned by Representative Reld of Illinois whether merit or length of service resulted In promotion, Gen. Drum said the law called for length of service; that he pessonally pre- ferred promotion by selection. The Air Service is 352 officers short of what it should be, and this number could be obtalned without law or ap- propriations, but the reason this de- ficlency has not been made up is be- cause no transfers are being made and chances for promotion are slim, he said. In the opinion of Gen. Drum it would not be necessary for Gen. Mitchell to become a member of the general staff in order to increase the efficiency of the Air Service and the development of aviation, the general sald in reply to a question of Rep- resentative Pall of New York. Taking up the question of bombing and anti-aircraft Gen. Drum declared that it would require 1,000 planes and 3,429,000 pounds of mustard gas to damage the District of Columbia, and to bring about evacuation 5,000 planes and 9,700,000 pounds of mus- tard gas would have to be employed.

Drum said the Navy would take it and have an air fleet, while if it could take preference over an Army 16-inch coast defense gun the Army likewise would use it. In concluding his statement before the committee, Gen. Drum sald aviation in all its essentials as it exists today, and it will develop In the future, includes these four distinct considerations: “Production, commerclal aviation, including the postal service; naval aviation and Army aviation. Letters Taken The committee yesterday took up, in executive session, letters from Sec- retary Wilbur and Rear Admiral Moftett, chief of the Naval Air Serv- ice, both of which flatly denied charges that the Navy Department attempted to “muzzle” the testimony of officers, and declared they were free to express their views. In view of its decision to recall Gen. Mitchell, the committee took no ac- tion on a resolution to express its opposition to a possible removal of the assistant Army air chief from his present position and thereby return him to his former rank of colonel. For the second successive day the subject spread yesterday to the floor of the House, which temporarily sus- pended other business to hear an ad- dress by Representative McClintic of Oklahoma, a Democratic member of the naval committee, who charged the Navy Department with “deliber- ately attempting to mislead” the country as to the facts concerning the recent bombing of the unfinished battleship Washington by airplanes. Representative La Guardia, Repub- lican, New York, also entered the dis- cussion of the subject on_the floor, asserting that Secretary Wilbur, in recent testimony before the naval committee, did not give personal “ex- pert knowledge” on the bombing tests, and insisting that Congress was entitled to such information. Moftetts Letter. Admiral Moffett, in a letter also addressed to Mr. Lampert, said: “Since my testimony given to your committee, 1 understand that testl- mony has been given to the general effect that younger officers in the Naval Alr Service have been intimi- dated, in one way or another, and are not allowed to express their views with regard to a single alr service. “I desire to state most emphatically 000 Men Like URJEITH At 36th and R Sts.

Mitchell and Gen. Drum before it today was understood to be based principally on a desire to Eo into a certain air maneuver in the World War, headed by Gen. Mitchell. Both are expected to be examined at length on the subject. Drum Testimony Cited. Mr. Perkins said Gen. Drum had testified the maneuver involved ap- proximately 300 airplanes, and that the objective was mot accomplished. The New Jersey member sald the War Department had referred to this maneuver as one ground for opposing unification of the Air Services, as is proposed in a bill by Representative Curry, Republican, California, now pending before the military com- mittee. Mr. Perkins declared yesterday he wished to compliment the officers of both the Army and Navy Air Services for thelr “splendid and competent work,” adding that he believed *they were performing “the best they can under the circumstances.” The alrcraft committee, he said, has expected to file a report of its find- ings to the House by February 15, but in view of the recent develop- ments the time probably will have to be extended nearly a week.

The report, he asserted, will be de- signed to present a constructive pro- gram for aircraft development, and he added that the committee had neither a desire nor intention to do anything that would not benefit the aircraft industry. The investigation so far has re- vealed a bright future for the air- craft industry, he declared, predicting that before many years have passed commercial avlation would be de- veloped to an extent that would revo- lutionize to a large extent the carry- ing of passengers and l1ight express.
