GOTHAM EASILY HIT,
SAYS COL MITCHELL
Washington, D. C.—Colonel William
Mitchell took the witness stand be­
fore the court-martial trying him for
breach of discipline as a result of his
public criticism of the administration
of the army and navy air services.
For the third time within a few
months, the kir crusader repeated
under oath his reasons for assailing
’hose in charge of governmental avia­
tion and for his advocacy of a larger
and better trained and equipped air
force.
Much of his testimony hinged upon
the same points he had stressed last
spring before the bouse aircraft com­
mittee and later before the president’s
special air board.
He then recited a long succession of
recommendations regarding aviation
made by him and rejected by the war
department. He said he never hsd
been able to have a study made bf
the precautions a city like New York
should take to defend itself from an
air attack.

-—
"If an enemy came within 100 miles
of New York,” he saTd, "he could stand
off in an airship, after picking up an
identifying point, and I believe every
aerial torpedo he fired would fall with­
in an area of the size of New York
city.”
