Warden Eaton Of State Prison Resigns
Rather Than Take Back Suspended Men
HEAR 5 WITNESSES
IN SUPPORT OF COL,
MITCHELL'S CHARGES

Washington, Nov. 10.-(AP)-Five
witnesses added today to the evidence
the defense Is placing before the gem
eral courtmartial trying Colonel Will
liam Mitchell in an effort to prove
the truth Of his published charges
that the war aand navy departments
are incompetent, negligent and al
most reasonable in their administra-
ton of the national defense.
Each Of the five contributed state
ments Representative Frank r. Reid,
chief counsel for the air officer. to-
night characterized as most helpful
to the defense"
Captain Robert Oldys of the war
plans section. army aviation service.
testified in support of Colonel Nit
chelfs statement that high ranking
army and navy officers had given con-
gress misleading information about
aeronautics and cited an instance
where an army pilot. Major Harley
Wheeler. had been killed because he
tried to save his ship rather than
himself"
The witness said Major Wheeler had
been reprimanded by a Notifying Of
ficer because his squadron, then serv-
ing in Hawaii, was smashing so many
ships and it was after the reprimand
that he was killed trying to save his
plane. Mr.. Reid cited this disaster,
he explained to the court, to prove
Colonel Mitchell's charge that the
lives of airmen ARE used as pawns.
Other evidence held by the defense
to be Important and material to its
IL.
duct prejudicial to good order and
military discipline was given by Cap
tain Oldys.. He quoted from the Las
sitter air board report Of 1923 to show
that unless steps were taken then to
improve conditions in the air service
it would have to be practically de-
modified"
Colonel Mitchell's charge that the
war department had been guilty OF
almost reasonable administration in
not forestalling the attempt or TOR
eign organization to secure a foot
hold in Central America" was another
point supported by Captain Oldys. lie
read from official records of the air
service an extract of a letter stating
that the American minister TO Guate-
mala on December 81. 1922, mad urg-
ed that the United States take steps
to facilitate the establishment OF an
air mail service through Cehtrai
America as alien enterprise was at
tempting to gain foothold" there
He also testified that the McNair re-
mort on aviation conditions in Hawaii
was inaccurate and that the chiefs
of the army air service. ordnance ou-
reau and coast artillery had recon-
mended that 1t be disregarded by the
war department because 1t was erro-
neous." Later the witness said the
report was used by war department
Office as a basis for testimony before
a congressional committee.

while repeal Of the levies on auto
mobile trucks and wagons, tires and
accessories was approved, counting
for about S31 100000 more.

RADIO LEADERS
WOULD LESSEN
NUMBER STATIONS

Washington, Nov. 10.-(AP)-The
fourth national radio conference to-
day went on record as favoring a
sharp reduction in the present num-
Der of broadcasting stations, urged
the commerce department to refuse
further licenses until such a reduc-
ton has taken place, and expressed
opposition to inclusion of direct ad-
vertising in broadcasting programs.
The conferences action on these
questions was taken through adopt
ion of the reports of two of it's nine
committees. The resolution favor
ing reduction in the number of
broadcasting stations was declared
by delegates to offer the most feas-
ible solution for the present conges-
ton of the air. Submitted with the
unanimous approval of the commit
tee on appointing regulations, the
resolution was virtually unopposed
on the floor of the conference.
A. question as to the fate under
this program of broadcasting sta
tions which have been completed but
have not yet been licensed, brought
the response from Secretary Hoover
that their building had been given
the gravest warnings by the COM
merce department, and he saw moth
ing for them to do but wait until
there was an available wavelength
for. them.
The same report also contained
resolutions opposing any further
division of time by existing stations
as against the interest of service to
the public.
The conference recommended that
the commerce department, in licen-
sing or renewing licenses of broad
casting stations, should look to-
ward the locating of such stations
outside congested centers to mini
mizo interference to large group of
listeners.

OBJECTIONS FROM
RANKS OF PARADERS
TODAY IN BOSTON

! Boston, Nov. 10.-(AP)-The
withdrawal Of three prominent or
CARNATIONS. the condemnation of
American Legion officials and Mrs.
Clarence R. Edwards. wife of the
former commander of the Yankee
Division, and the refusal Of Governor
Fuller to name a chief marshal were
the eleventh hour developments to-
night IN campaign against the
Armistice Day peace parade which
will be held in this city tomorrow.
The Armistice Day committee was
Informed tonight by representatives
of the Kiwanis, Rotary and Square
and Compass Clubs that those or
CARNATIONS would not parade be-
cause their members objected to the
presence of four so-called radical
organizations which are expected 10
be in the line of march.
The headquarters of the Greater
Boston Council of Boy Scouts an
nounced that none of its units had
been granted permission to parade
and regular army officers said that
all members of the First Army Corps
had been instructed not to parade
in army uniform.
The parade was condemned by Of
ficers of Roxbury Post and by Mrs.
Edwards because peace at any cost"
organizations were expected to
march.
Rev. George Lyman Paine, chair
man of the Armistice Day commit
tee, conferred with Governor Fuller
today about naming a chief mar
shall to lead the parade. The gov
ernor, 1t was announced at the state
house, refused to designate a mill
tary man for that post. After the
conference with the governor, Chair
man Paine announced that Ham,
mond I. Fletcher, once a candidate
for mayor of Boston. would act as
chief marshal. He will have a num-
Der of Boston University Students as
his aides.
While Mayor Curley and other city
officials have officially ignored the pa
rade Gov. Fulled will review it from
a stand erected on the state house
grounds.
In statement tonight Chairman
Paine predicted that the parade would
be a successful demonstration for
international peace. despite the pres
ence of four so-called radical orga-
nizations.
