 The prospect is the property of E. M.

MITCHELL BACKERS
AT WORK IN LEGION
Officials Criticized for Not
Inviting Colonel as a "Dis-
tinguished Guest"
By the Associated Press

by the Associated Press.
OMAHA. Nebr. October 3.-Friends
of Col. William Mitchell, arriving for
the national convention of the Amer
lean Legion, were organizing their
forces in an effort to obtain indorse-
ment of his recent criticisms of the
Navy on the convention floor.
Many were bitter in their denunci-
alton of legion officials for not officially
inviting Col. Mitchell to the conven-
ton as a distinguished guest. They
explained that this was taken to mean
that legion officialdom is cooperating
with the Army and Navy in prevent
ing his carrying his fight for a unified
Air Service to the great veterans or
vitations, however, said that Col
Mitchell was not invited as dis
tinguished guest, because he was not
n combat general. The Forty and
Eight, the legion's fun organization, of
which the colonel is member, how.
ever, extended an invitation to him
yesterday.
Capt. J. I. Peyser, close friend of
Col. Mitchell, is expected to arrive
Monday with a personal message from
the stormy critic
1t developed today that official recog-
milton could not be given to the Forty
and Fights invitation. George Dob
son, Passaic. n. j., grand chef de
chemin de fer of the orga nization
said that while his orga MIA ton would
be glad to have Col. Mitchell present
for he is one of our most active
members. the organization could not
emharrass officials of the legion by

HINES DENIES CUT
IN VETERANS DOLE
Vocational Training Allow
ances of Disabled Men Un-
changed, He Declares.

Replying to charges contained in a
statement issued recently by Harold
Il. Stephenson, commander of Ma
tional University Chapter of the Dis
abed American Veterans of the
World War. Gen. Frank Il. Hines,
director of the Veterans Bureau, yes
terday denied all accusations in regard
10 curtailing vocational training allow
ances for disabled veterans now
charged from the bureau hospitals.
With reference to the allegations
that there has been a so per cent
cut in allowances for school ex-
penses," Gen. Hines explained that.
since experience has shown that SIS
per fiscal year Is usually adequate
to cover the expense of books, sup
plies and equipment for law students,
the original allotment of $100 per fiscal
year has been cut to S75 except
in such cases where it is shown that
this amount is not sufficient. In such
cases, he said, upon receipt of state
ment of the facts from the regional
office concerned proper adjustment is
made. No other changes whatever
have been made, it was explained, in
allowances for traineeS receiving law
courses and there is no general reduc-
ton of any sort in allowances for any
type of training.
In regard to the course in patent
law, Gen. Hines explained that this
course is post graduate in character
and it has been the policy of the
bureau in professional training to
carry only men through the scholastic
preparation required by law for ad
mission to practice. the course In
patent law not being a regular part
of the work required for an LII. b.
degree, but an extra course, for which
an extra tuition fee Is charged by
schools including this course in their
curriculum.
Gen. Hines called attention to the
fact that the present law requires
that all men complete their training
on or before June 80, 1926. and for
this reason the bureau has not re-
Gently inducted men into training in
any of the professional courses re-
uuiring several years for completion.
Gen. Hines is confident, however
that legislation will be enacted not
to extend the present vocational train
ing law, but to provide adequate op-
portunities and consummation OF
training for any and all of the vet
Grams who are now In hospitals ana
have not hitherto been able, on ac-
count of physical disability, to avail
themselves of the training PROVIDED
BY the bureau.
