REPORT
Committee Hints That Gen.
MitcheII's Charges Will
Be Backed Up

Their investigation abruptly ended,
members of the House Aircraft
Committee today began privately
the work of drafting a report on
the nations air defense.
Because of the voluminous record.
1t was not believed a final report
could be finished before adjour-
ment. and permission will be sought
for an extension of time.
The tenor of the committee,
poll revealed. indicated that the re-
port will strongly support the recon-.
mendation of Brigadier General
Mitchell. assistant chief of army
air service. for a unified air force.
1t was the belief that the com.
mittee would back Mitchell against
the attack Of the War and Navy
departments, which led AdministrA-
ton leaders to bring pressure that
thwarted further investigation of the
air services.
If the House permits a. delay in
submitting the report, 1t will be
with the expressed reservation that
the committee must not conduct
further hearings.

REPLY To ODE
PUBLISHED
Phrase "First in Peace" Used
by PhiIIis Wheatley,
Colonial Poetess

when one says Of George Wash.
ington that he was First in peace,
1t will stimulate the patriotic pride
of every colored American to know
that he was first publicly referred
to as such by Phillis Wheatley, a
negro poetesss, after whom the
local Colbred Y. M. c. A. is named.
in a poem which she wrote ana
dedicated to General Washington.
entitled ode to Washington a
line OF which read: Thee, first in
peace, and honors.'
A copy of the poem appeared in
the Pennsylvania Magazine, April,
1776.

follows:

the poem. had not have been
apprehensive that while, I only
meant to give the world this new
instance of your genius, l might
have incurred the imputatioh o.
vanity. This, and nothing else
determined me not to give it place
in the public prints.
If you should ever come to
Cambridge or near headquarters.
I shall be happy to see a person
so favored by the muses.. and to
whom nature has been so liberal
and beneficent in her dispensations.

collections is felt, were very frank
in indicating that their congrega-
