BOWLEY PROTEST
IS NOT CONFIRMED
Report Mitche|Hs Friends OBJ
jected to Trial Board Men,
Der Is Unofficial.

Reports current in Raleigh. y. G.,
that friends of Col. William Mitchell
have protested against the naming OF
Brig. Gen. Bowiey as a member of
the court-martial, which will meet
here this week to try the Air Service
officer on disciplinary charges, lack
confirmation here.
While the matter may have been
taken up informally with Secretary
Davis or other officials, the regular
procedure in challenging the right of
any court martial members to sit in
any particular case would require
that the question be raised before the
court itself at it's first session. The
members of the court, other than the
officers challenged. would decide the
question.
Probably Would BE Ignored.
In view of the fact that the per
sonnel of the Mitchell court was care
fully selected by Secretary Davis him
self it is regarded as entirely i'm
probable that the War Department
would entertain any protests except
such as might be submitted by the
colonel or his counsel at the opening
of the trial. Since the reported
ground for protest against Gen.
Bowley is that shortly after his ap-
pointment was announced he express
ed disagreement with Col. Mitchell's
views on Air Service matter. it is be-
leved to be particularly unlikely that
Secretary Davis would consider any
request that he be replaced in the
court by some other officer.
1t has been pointed out repeatedly
that the Mitchell court martial pro-
ceedings are disciplinary. and have
nothing to do with his views as to the
Air Service or with any difference in
opinion that may exist between him
and other high officers as to the proper
function of aircraft in National de-
fense.
Insubordinization Only Question.
The court will not be called upon to
pass Judgment on any question eX-
cept that of Col. Mitchells alleged in
subordiniZation in making certain pub
lie remarks criticizing the admlnistra-
ton of the air services of the Army
and Navy.
The truth or falsity of whatever
charges he made against the two SerV-
ices is specifically excluded from the
court martial proceedings. Under the
circumstances, any views Gen. Bow
ley may have expressed could not have
any bearing on his availability as
member of the court unless they dealt
with the limited question of the charge
of insubordinization that has been
placed against Col. Mitchell.
