By the Associated Press. Investigation by the House of the rensons given by Secretary Weeks for not reappointing Col. William Mitchell assistant chief of the Army Alr Serv- ice will be proposed in a House reso- lution tomorrow by Representative Garrett of Tennessee, the Democratic leader. ‘The resolution will ask that the let- ter written by Mr. Weeks to President Coolidge at that time, and which was read before the Mitchell court-martlal, be sent to the House by Secretary Davis. “If this letter shows,” Mr. Garrett sald yesterday, “that one of the rea- sons given by Secretary Weeks for h action the testimony given by the then Gen. Mitchell before a com- mittee of Congress, before which he was requested to appear by the com mittee, it constitutes a breach of privileges of the House. I shall ask the judiclary committee to examine letter and recommend changes in law to prevent men from being punished when they appear before a committee of Congress to tell the truth.” The letter of the former War Secre- tary to the President, which set forth his reasons for not reappointing the then Brig. Gen. Mitchell to his post in the Alr Service was placed in_the record at the court-martial, which recently sentenced the officer to five suspension from the Army. Re- ferring to the appearance of Co Mitchell before a House investigating committee last Spring, the letter of the Secretary said: “In his testimony, Col. Mitchell has not only attacked the Navy Depart- ment and the active offcers in that department, but his own department and the officers who are now largely responsible for its adminlstrative poli- cles. These latter officers are among those distinguished men who con- ducted operations on the other side which resulted in everlasting glory to American arms and to the winning of the war.” Although many resolutions bearing on the M ichell case already have been Introduced, Mr. Garrett’s s one of the first proposed by any of the recognized leaders in Congress. He said he would press for its Immediate consideration. -~ In spite of competition from German | manufacturers, who have been selling | below cost, American makes of type writers are the most popular in the Canary Islands, % 2 Z price so couldn’t ignore it! ington.

The much-discussed Karolyi case, 8rowing out of the refusal of the State Department to lower the immigration bars to Countess Catherine Karolyl, wife of the former President of Hun gary, has turned up in the courts. In a petition filed yesterday in the District of Columbia” Supreme Court the countess asked that Secretary Kellogg be compelled to order the American consul in Paris to visa her passport. Although Mr. Kellogg re- fused to consent, department officials indicated they had anticipated such & proceeding, inasmuch as the countess’ lawyers had signified their intention of resorting to the courts in the ex» tensive correspondeence exchanged with the department. The petition was filled with the clerk of the court and will not come up for consideration until next week. In it, the countess, whose exclusion has been characterized by the State Department as justifiable under the law, said the object of her visit was to visit friends and to arrange later for a lecture tour.
