Page Two THE EUGENE GUAED OUT TO GET ARMY Jazz Heir to Play , at Inauguration Son of Wealthy Opra Patron to Attend Big Ball T Tl By CI1AHLK8 I. STEWART (XHA Service Writer) WASIHXciTON. Feb. 'Ji. Unless ttie army ami nuw "jet" iirig. tien. "ii lly" .Mitchell, "Hilly" inevitably in go.ng to "get" theui. Auti'lifJl declares surface armies ami navies are obsolete, or ncarl$ so -that aviation is the "whole thing." .An jiHi8innt chief of aruiy airmen, his w Tdu hare weight, v His challenge is one the army ami u.ivy can't at ford to ignore. .llore will he heard from it unlets Mitchell in discredited, promptly and UiurouKitiy, Surlnee. armies and navies cost like everything. !f they really are no good any more, the country, which piiya for them, ih sure to let out n blood-curd-ling yell to congress to cut their ap propriation right off. An economy of $WI5,5lM,5i'!U--which is what the army it ml navy cost during the finenl year HUM will be mighty popular with the taxpayers, ' too, if it can be justified, as "Hilly" Mitchell says it can. Up In Next Congress The present ivjugress won't get i much of this reaction to Mitcbell'H as- i scrtions. There won't be time between i now and March 4. There'll be plenty I of time before the next congress! meets in J eeeinbcr, however, and ' army and navy men realize it full well. The question in; How, in the meantime, can Mitchell be squelched ' Mitchell himself has been accused openly of insubordination and diso bedience of orders, Het'oro a court, martial, probably, some of these charges could be made to slick. Kven if not driven nut of the ser-. vice, hiH advancement in It might be blocked. Mitchell isn't a full-fledged brigadier. He classes as one only while be remains assistant aviation chief. - Colonel is his actual rank. Depriv ed of bis present assignment, he would be demoted in effect. This would punish him, but would it Mint nun up Possibly it would shut up an officer whose bread and butter depended on bis job, but Mitchell is independently rich. The army or navy officer of ortho dox Wont Point or Annapolis educa tion is sensitive to his fellow profes sionals' attitude toward him. Not a West pointer hut Mitchell isn't a West Pointer. XJc rose from the ranks. More, he is contemptuous of West Point and Annapolis men. Jle says their tniinlug is out of date. Wrong ideas are drilled into them deliberately. Their Instructors, be maintains, so over-emphasize the importance f surface ' armies and surface fleets that they're incapable of gripping problems of the air. j lie considers himself fortunate in having escaped this curse. He told the congressional investigators so. Thus, rather siugularly, though one ' man la opposed to tlm entire nrmy uud navy of the United States, the odds are rather on his side, It Is more than likely he will he forced out into civil life, hut what then? Why, be snya he'll run for congress. His father wa r senator. He has the political flair. If he runs the chances are he'll be elected. In the house, of representatives he might be a greater grief to army uud navy men of (he old school tbau ho is now. i W f-l & h . 4 Roger Wolfe Kahn, 17, son of OHo H.
