the Shenandoah captain objected to
making Il flight last July and that
on his resolution it was postponed
until September.
Objected To The Flight
Commander Lansdowne objected
officially to the start on Sept. 2, not

ceivirg the ship at Scott Field, Illi-
nois, and Detroit. His objection was
overruled by the department. and

the war department will determine
whether action is within it's juris-

Representative Frank r. Reid of
Illinois, counsel for Mitchell, in a
formal statement last night said the
officer had acted throughout upon his
advice. that personally Mitchell was
ready and willing TO testify even at
the risk of jeopardizing his case in
the impending courtmartial proceed
ings, growing out of his charges
against the war and navy depart
ments in connection with the Shen-
andoah disaster.
Reid added that if the court held
that the position taken by the Off
Ger in refusing to respond to for
NAL subpoena was unsound the court
had it's remedy under the statute au-
thorizing it to certify the case to
the federal district attorney for
possible contempt proceedings and
trial in civil court.
