I Major (lullion developed by iiueH
tlonliiK the wltneaa that the number

ItlSfi. about 55 per cent," Major (lul

"It 1h n very nilNlendlng Htalement,"
Colonel Mltrhell replied.
"Thorn Ih no IncreaHO in Hafely,
There Ih a docreuHe in wifety. Our
perHonnel in better trained now than
It wan in 1921 and flying ha been
much more reHtiicted. Tho machines
nre mill flaming coffins."
"Do you not know that flying In

waH aHked.
I '"No,"
"Do you not know that flying In

I "No,",
"Kigurea cun be twisted and, more

1 "What old flaming coffina did you
have reference to?"
"DH'h. It cotiHtltuteH criminal neg
ligence to keep iming flying HhtpH of
that kind."
t Colonel Mllchell blamed the recent
death of Captain MeKvoy at Old
Point, Vt., who fell with a Dll plane,
to faulty equipment and Major (lul

"It. burned up when It hit the

"He wan in a DM airplane." the wit

In tho fiHcul year Major Clul-
lion read" from roeordfl, liiere woro
two futlincelilents due to power plant
failures in aircraft; 57.7 per cent were
due to erroi-H in Judgment; four ace).
denta due to atriictural failures; one
to weatlier conditions and four to un
known cauKes.
Coriinol Mitchell then was nskeil re-
RnrdlnR tlw charKe he hud made that
air officer had been "bluffed and
bulldozed so they did not daru to tell
the truth to congressional committees."
I refer to myself personally." Be
replied, "I nna bluffed and bulldozed."
rod you tell the truth?"
"Yes, but olher officers- were
afraid lo tell Ihe truth."
UeealliiiK the all' crusader's clini'RO
that officers who tell tho truth before
ebuKresslnnal committees are punish
ed by belnit transferred to nut nf the
wnv nlace,' Major bullion asked:
"Were you sent to nn out-of-the-way
place?"
"I certainly was. I nilcht add I
had no eonimnnd nt San Antonio nt
nil."
The examlnnlinn was switched to
Colonel Mitchell's book: "Winded le
fense." The witness said he had writ
ten the book and Major Oulllou then
offered In evidence a copy of a lec
ture made nt Ihe army war college by
Captain Thomas 1'".. Hart of the navy.
The inirpose, Ihe major said, "was
to show that parts of this hook, by
which the accused was miiklnR
money, was cribbed."
A defense objection wan sustained.
The presidential air board came In
for a passing blow as Ihe cross ex
amination continued.
Colonel Mlli'bi'll said lie did not be
llcve the board's Investigations lasted
limit enough to get rid of political In
fluences. 1
Major (lullion nsked whether the
witness knew "thai the recommenda
tions which you made and which
were carried out, cost the government
$0,2110,278."
'It was money well spent," replied
Colonel Mitchell.
Taking up Mitchell's charge that
nviation policies nre dictated by non
flylog officers. Major (lullion re
marked that four of the six members
of the Join army-navy aeronautical
himrd were fliers or hud iiuallfled as
observers.
SAI.1CM, Ore.. Nov. 24. An net of
tho 1!I25 IcxlHlature rctiuiriiiK that the
ojiautlty of bops picked by pickers in
OreKon bo estimated by weight and
out by boxes is constitutional, accord
ing; to nn opinion of the. supremo court
handed down today In the case of
C. A. Mclaughlin, Polk county grower,
against Joseph N. Jlelgersou, district
attorney for Polk county. The opinion
affirms Judge W. M. Itamsay of the
lower court for Polk county. Justice
Hand wrote the opinion.
-Mclaughlin brought suit to restrain
the district attorney and Bhnrlff from
enforcing the penal provisions of the
Bet on grounds that tho act was un
constitutional ami that lis enforce
ment would injuriously affect bis
business.
Judge I.. If. McMahon of die lower

In the case of thn National Thrift
association, apiwllnnt, against W. K.
Crows, ' stuto corporation commis
sioner, a mandamus proceeding to
compel the corporation commlssioner
to issue a dealers' permit authorizing
the corporation to sell certain securi
ties. The opinion was written by
Justicn Helt. The corporation pro
posed a scheme of selling "thrift
tickets."
"This scheme," says the opinion of
.litstlCH llelt after describing the pro
posed scheme, reminds us of Clot-Rich-
Quick Wallingford. It certainly does
not have tho appearance of a legiti
mate business enterprise."
