e. Lester Jones Of the supply division
Of the signal corps. testified before the
Senate military committee to-day that
only one airplane had been shipped to Eu-
rope by this government since 1t entered

Chairman Chamberlain at once ordered
representative IL the committee sum-
moned.
Lawrence Rubel of Chicago, director of
! the committee division of pictures, ap-
peared shortly afterwards and testified that
the pictures on which the captions were
| based were obtained from Colonel Deeds
Of the signal corps. He added that Col
Deeds gave no information regarding ship
| ment of airplanes to France, but did ad-
| wise that the airplanes were coming
through the factories so fast that they had
! to be stored in warehouses.
| Members of the committee declared the
captions were misleading and should be
withdrawn, which Rubel agreed to do al
once He said the captions were written by
Morris Strunsky of New York, an en-
ploye Of the information committee, who

that the captions were "hamboyant" and
said they would not have been sent ou,
