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.”
