I : Failure of General Mitchell at that time to give the war secre tary a satisfactory explanation resulted in the appointment of Colonel James E. Fechet to the office jot assistant chief of the army air service upon the expira tion of General Mitchell's term and led to transfer of the latter to duty in Texas as a colonel.
