Among the multitude of offenses of which the defense counsel prom ised to furnish proof were these: That the Shenandoah went on her fatal western trip against the will of her commander, Zachary Landsdowne. That a naval officer sought to lave Lansdowne's widow give false testimony. That those who arranged the un tuccessrul Hawaiian flight of the PN-9, No. 1, were incompetent That high army and navy offi cers had testified falsely before committees of congress.' That Colonel Mitchell himself, was "demoted and transferred be cause he told the truth." - That government ' aviators are put to unnecessary ' hazards and many killed as a result. That the government has failed to thwart a project to give a for eign flight organization a foothold near the Panama Canal and to have provided adequate air protec tion to Hawaii and the Philippines.
