ther support to Col. MitchelI's charges
that the lives of airmen are being

MITCHELL COUNSEL

Long Badgered Prosecution
Adopts Tactics That Make
Reid's Irony Seem Mild.

Representative Frank r. Reid, chief
Of counsel for Col William Mitchell
is right.
Something has happened to the
prosecution in the court marital now
trying the aggressive colonel for in
subordination and coftemptuous CON
duct and various other things alleged
to have been involved in his sensa-
tional San Antonio statements.
Mr.. Reid discovered the change yes.
terday and called the courts attention
to 1t, and developments today proved
that his perception was not amiss.
After paving around for several
weeks in the face OF vigorous assaults
has marshaled its legal and technical
forces into u counter attack that left
observers at the trial today gasping
with surprise.
Red Tape Goes to Discard.
The prosecution has decided to meet
the defense on its own grounds. and
with its own weapons. after lodging
around for some time in an apparent
haze OF uncertainty about what to dc
in the face Of the verbal barrage
leveled by the defense, under the able
direction Of Mr.. Reid, the military

today that he belongs to an opposing

dared to make snappy retorts to the
