DEFENSE SCORES OFTEN
Attack Made by Mitchell I Re

f ended; No Attempt Is
Made to Cover
WASHINGTON. Nov. a. (By
Associated Press.) Another hnm.
bardment of the administration's
aviation policies, accompanied by
the lowering: of bars tr admit toa-
timony intended to justify Colonel
William Jlitchells previous pub-;
lished attacks, marked today the
opening of his defense before the
general court martial trying him
of charges specifying conduct to
the prejudice of good order and
military discipline.
From the time the court met
nutil it recessed tonight, the de
fense had its way, being overruled
just once, and then on a minor ob
jection. It thrust a 22,000-word
statement into the record without
opposition, supported the air offi
cer's San Antonio declaration that
the war and navy departments
were incompetent, criminally neg
ligent and almost treasonable in
their conduct of the national; de
fense, and put the first of its wit-;
nesses on the stand. The latter'
were permitted to testify on air
service controversy issues.
Repeated objections raised by
the prosecution as to tlte admissi
bility of the witnesses' testimony
were rejected by the court. It was
only when Representative Frank
R. Reid, chief civilian defense
counsel, asked Maj. Charles Spa tz
for his opinion of army general
staff officers, that the prosecu
tion's objection was sustained.
The opening statement of the
defense, comprising 74 closely
typewritten pages, was In effect!
a detailed analysis' of Colonel
Mitchell's San Antonio statements
On which the charges against him
were based. .
Every charge he.madfe' at that
time against the war and navy
departments was repeated, ampli
fied and defended on the ground
that it was true, and could be
proved.
As soon as Mr.-Reid concluded
his opening statement he sought
to show that Colonel Mitchell's
charge .that officers and agents
of the war and navy departments
had given congress incomplete,
misleading or false information
about aeronautics was true. ,tjr"
He selected Brigadier ' General
Hugh Drum, one of the assistant
chiefs of staff as his target, and
then called Major General Amos

deny the staff officer's statement

Great Britain, the British ambas
sador, Sir ,Esme -Howard, told a
meeting tonight of the English
speaking union of St. Louis.
Those who are trying to! build
up that understanding and friend
ship, he said, are : not trying, to
establish a world dominating alli
ance but rather are endeavoring
to erect wbat wlll become ja real
temple of peace in all parts of the
world where men of - English
speech come together. ' -
"If I believed Anglo-American
friendship ; would develop into a
big, brutal, bullying power," he
asserted, "I should never desire to
see it take root, But because I
believe, in spite of some lapses
which are unavoidable in view of
human imperfections, .that the
Bf iti8h-American ideal In llif e is
just and square dealing, therefore.
I, for my part, shall continue , to
advocate a clear, frank under
standing between- our two; coun

in my body." '
The growth of the English

said, is a proof of feeling that
friendship between all branches of

necessary f actor'fdr the well being
of the world.
: "The Idea of the necessity of a

Redaction In Other Articles Con-
tesnplated; $ 100,000,000 Is
Now Left to be Appor
tioned by Board
WASHINGTON, Nov. 9. (By
Associated Pres8)-Substantial re
ductions in the automobile taxes
and repeal of many miscellaneous
excise levies were tentatively
agreed upon today by the house
ways and means committee in its
preparation of a tax reduction bill.
With only $100,000,000 of the
prospective , 300,000,000 treasury
surplus left to apportion In re
dactions among these taxes, the
committee struck a snag in at
tempting to comply with the num
erous appeals for relief, and after
an all-day discussion, put over un
til, tomorrow final decisions.
None of thetentative changes in
rates agreed upon -today was an
nounced by Chairman Green pend
ing final disposition of all rates
in the group, but a reduction in
the levy of automobile passenger
cars from 5 to 3 per cent, and
repeal of the, taxes on automobile
trucks and accessories were un
derstood to have been approved.
Tentative repeal of the follow
ing taxes also was reported:
Cameras and lenses, photo
graphic jfilms and plates, jewelry,
firearms" (except pistols) and
shells, art works, j-achU and mo
tor "boats, and some occupational
taxes such as those applying on
cotton and grain exchange brok
ers.. Reductions , in the levies on al
cohol and cigars also were favored
in the temporary program. The
former would be cut in half, from
2.20 a proof gallon, to , $110.
The taxes on admission and dues
were not taken up.
Changes thus approved would
account for more than the 100,-
tions Itf the xeliB" group, i f the
$300,000,000 limits set by the
treasury and tentatively accepted
by the committee is to be rigidly
observed.
On this point, however, consid
erable difference of opinion has
developed and Chairman Green de
clared today -he did not think the
government would face a deficit
next year if the total reduction
should amount to $350,000,000.
Other committee members ex
pressed tne opinion imi a reauc-
tion close to this figure would be
decided upon. .
CONVICTS ARE NOT SEEN
OUTSIDE AID BELIEVED GIVEN
TO THREE PRISONERS
WALLA WALLA, Wash., Nov.
9. At 9 o clock tonight no trace
of the three convicts who bound a
guard and four inmates in the
state penitentiary hospital and es
caped over the wall, early Sun
day morning had been found. The
warden's force has been busy
since the break4 running down
clues and rumors of the convicts
whereabouts. (
One report had them in the vi
cinity of Tonchet, where three
strange men were seen.
The three men seem to have
vanished immediately after they
scaled the -prison wall and disap
peared in a westerly direction. The
blood hounds were .unable t se
cure a good scent Sunday morn
ing due to the frosty condition of
the ground.
There Is a certain amount of
feeling. . that the convicts might
have bad outside aid in making
their getaway, after getting over
the wall. The condition of War

they could not have gone far with

Organization of County Ministerial
Association Is Being Con
4 tcniplated
A general exchange in pulpits
sometime during' the course of the
wiater, and the organizing of a
Marion county ministerial associa
tion ' were the chief matters dis
cussed at the meeting Monday of
the Salem Ministerial association.'
Rev. Thomas Acheson. pastor of
the Jason Lee Methodist church,
brought up the : idea of an ex
change of pulpits. He. suggested
that once or twice during the com
ing winter that the ministers ex
Change "pulpits with each other.
The purpose, as Rev. Acheson ex
pressed it,, would be to show that
the churches are united and that
they are ail working for one pur
pose, namely the furthering of the
Christian religion, and to give the
various congregations some idea
of what other congregations are
receiving. 4 The plan was adopted.
The dates for. the- exchange have
not been set, but due to possible
conflict with, other engagements,
it is not probable that any ex
change will take place until the
first of the year.
According to some Of. the min
isters present there has long been
a feeling that a county association
of ministers would be beneficial
both to the ministers In the city
and the ministers outside the city.
A motion : was passed to Instruct
the secretary to Invite all of the
ministers In the county to attend
the next meeting of the Salem as
sociation with the idea in view of
forming a comity association.
The next meeting, according to
announcement of the program
committee, will be in the form of
a luncheon, to be held at one of
the local churches. probably at the
Jason Lee Methodist church. The
meeting will be called, for noon in
stead of the regular hour of 10:30
in the morning.
It was brought out at the meet
ing that tho various ministers in
the association are to conduct, the
services each Sunday at the state
hospital with the exception of the
second Sunday in the month.
