Recommendations
In view of our findings regarding
club work we offer the following
recommendations.
1. That since the big problem
in extending club work is to find
real local leaders we urge that
every person present at this con
ference regard it as an obligation
of citizenship to reader assistance
in this connection whenever asked
to do so.
2. That a county organization
of local leaders be developed for
the purpose of promoting com
munity leadership In each locality.
ana also to make It possible
leaders.
3. That the Parent-Teacher as-
snciatlon and grange organiza
tions in the connty assume a de

(AnnrUtrd Fma Uuni Win.)
WASHINGTON, Nov. 27. Under
a shower of objections from the
defense, which resulted In the pro
duction in evidence of some of the
secret filea of the War department,
the prosecution-in the court mar
tial trial of Colonel William Mit
chell set out today to Answer the
Colonel's charges of national in
competency In the air.
The first witness called, Briga
dier General Lerdy Eltlnge, who
was an umpire in the recent Ha
waiian maneuvers, disputed the
defense contention that the War
IN'iwrtnient had no plan for de
fense In the Pacific. The witness
added, however, that these plans
were so highly confidential that
they should not be talked about,
and the point was not pressed.
The witness conceded that there
was no "satisfactory cooperation"
between the army and navy air
services during the Hawaiian man
euvers. Asked for that reason, he
replied: "Tlio army and navy ( air
services had not had preliminary
Joint exercises. They were, as a
result, not ahle tn rombfne their
material and men Into a smooth
working machine."
Coordination Impossible.
"How would you remedy such a
situation?" be was asked.
