said, he was not concerned with
expression of personal views of
the then Brigadier General Mit
chell, but that his statements re
garding the war department prac
tices deserved careful examina
tion. 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.
Colonel i Mitchell has contlnuo-
us-y put forward his ideas of the
value of aircraft since he was
transferred and on a recent visit
to air service headquarters declar
ed ne would carry the fljtht for a
unuieq air service and for a gen
eral overhauling of the defense
system to congress at the Decern
oer session.
His I assertion aroused war de
partment resentment, but no of
ficial notice was taken of them.
