deposed assistant chief of the

craft to find out what happened" to
quote from the statement.
These accidents are the direct re-
suit of incompetence, criminal neg

ministration of the national defense
by the war and navy departmet," he
wrote.
"The army and navy departments
have gone to the utmost lengths to
keep down development of aviation,
ana to maintain aeronautics AS Il
part of the two departments"
Colonel Mitchell said that all
aviation policies are directed by non
flying officers who know nothing
about flying. and that lives of air
men are being used merely AS pawna

SLAPS AT OFFICIALDOM
Mitchell took direct slap at the
war department4for the Treatment ac-

deprived of their future careers, sen.

to prevent their telling the truth
and deprived Of all chances for ad-
vanccment unless they subscribe to
the dictates of their non flying
bureaucratic superiors."
Colonel Mitchell asserted that "the
conduct of the war and navy de-
partments has been so disgusting in
the last few years as to make any
self respecting officer ashamed of
the clothes he wears"
ISSUE UP TO CONGRESS
Colonel Mitchell declared that the
determination Of the members of the
flying service to place the issue
"squarely up to congress and the
people, dates from the killing of
Lieutenant Pierson and Captain
Skeel in .he diapidated racing air
plane during last October's air

This was caused, he says "by an
agreement between the army and the
