Billy Mitchell Review Slated Washington (U.R) The Air Force has agreed to reopen this week the sensational 31-year-old court martial case of the late Gen. William L. (Billy) Mitchell, called by many of his admirers the "father of the U.S. Air Force." A spokesman said the Air Force Corrections and Review Board will begin reviewing the case Tuesday. Mitchell was court-martialled in 1926 by a board of nine Army generals following his vigorous fight to support of his view that air power should be the first line of America's defense. He was charged with insub ordination after he had accused the Army of incompetency and inefficiency and urged creation of a separate air arm. Mitchell, who at the time of the case held the permanent rank of colonel, was suspended from his rank, command and duty and deprived of pay and allowances. President Coolidge modified the sentence to allow Mitchell half-pay. Many of Mitchell's views were regarded as visionary at the time but later, turned out to be correct. He was one of the first to say battleships could be bomb ed and sunk by aircraft. He also believed future wars would be decided in the air.

CALIFORNIA OREGON POWER COMPANY Wester Company ousted and operated by Western People Reporters Get First Glimpse of Atomic Laboratories Richland, Wash. (U.R) Newsmen entered the govern ment's Hanford works for the first time today to inspect labor atories supporting the manufac ture of plutonium, atomic wea pons and its nuclear power houses. Until today the entire estab lishment, covering an area half the size of Rhode Island, has been off limits for reporters. In recent years, the Atomic Energy commission has been de classifying many of its secrets as worldwide familiarity with atomic processes increased. Result Of Trend The tour today and a similar one Thursday at the National Reactor Testing Station near Idaho Falls, Idaho, are a result of this trend toward less secrecy. However, the actual reactors that produce the plutonium, the material presumably used as the "powder" in the A-bomD being tested in a new series scheduled to begin this week in Nevada, were still shielded from close-up views by corres pondents. These reactors are vital to the nation's nuclear program be cause their transmutation of ur anium into the artificial element of plutonium, the available sup ply of fissionable fuel is tre mendously increased. Nearly 40 newspaper and ra dio newsmen were accredited for the t o ii r.
