Everything That Could Be
Done To Pave Way for PN-R
Flight Was Done Claims Ex-
petitions Leader-He Also
Urges Change in Air Service
Does Not Directly Men
ton Coz. Mitchell

Washington, Oct. .. = (AP) -
Colonel William Mitchell's charge
of amateur bungling" by the navy
of the attempted Hawaiian flight
drew a ringing denunciation today
from Commander John Rodgers,
leader of the expedition.
Testifying before the Presidents
air board, Commander Rodgers
without mentioning Mitchell by
name, declared that Regardless of
what mistakes were made before or
after, l challenge anyone to make d
just criticism of that flight"
The PN-9 number one commander
also took direct issue with the
coloners assertion that arrange
ments for the flight were carried
out by ''non-fying" officers. lie SAID
he was given free hand and full
cooperation by the bureau of aero
nautics in preparing for the trip, and
that his record would prove he was
q competent naval aviator.
II cannot see," he asserted. how
the navy department can be held
responsible for the failure OF the
flight. Everything was done that
could be done.
1.-The secretary of the navy per-
sonally visited San Diego and or
dered the bureau of aeronauticS to
give us everything we asked for.
This was done"
After hearing Rodgers, the board
adjourned until Monday. when It
will continue the examination or
naval air officers. The recess was
taken to enable several board men,
bers to leave the city to attend to
private business matters, Chairman
Dwight W. Morrow and Major Gen
eral James G. Harbord, retired, go
ing to New York, and Howard f..
Coffin to Detroit.
Commander Rodgers agreed with
the testimony given yesterday by
seven brother air officers in urging
a change in the organization of the
naval air service as necessary to I'M
prove the morale of its personnel.
He, however, was at variance with
their views on establishing separ-
ate air corps in the navy. He said
he favored a separate budget ana
promotion list for the service. but
did not think such corps deslr-
able.
The commander advocated crea-
ton of a department of national de-
Tense and ultimate goal to be
reached in the nations military es-
tablishment, but in this proposed de-
partment he said the air services
should be left under the army and
navy respectively.
