Evening star., 1925-11-02

Every one in the Government Serv-
| ice, and some outside. who at any
| time said or had anything to do with
aviation, seemed to be on the list of
/ 73 witnesses presented by Representa-
! tive Reid, counsel for Col Mitchell to
the court-martial a few minutes after
its opening today, with request that
! they be subpoenaed.
While President Coolidge is not on
the list, his secretary Everett San
ders, is, as also are Secretary Davis
! OF the War Department, Secretary
Wilbur of the Navy Department, Sec
J retary Jardine of the Department OF
Agriculture and Dwight Morrow
chairman of the Presidents Aircraft
Board. The list also includes heads
of bureaus of the Navy and War De-
partments, and also Mrs. Zachary
Lansdowne, widow of the commander
of the Inflated Shenandoah, and Ad-
miral William :. Sims.
! Accompanying some of the names
is long list of papers which the
court IS asked to have the witnesses
produce, and an examination of the
| list following the name of the Secre
! tary of the Navy makes it appear that
| Col. Mitchell'S counsel is going quite
! thoroughly into an investigation of
| the Navy Department. For instance
he asks for copies of all letters sent
| by the Navy Department or any of
it's officers to newspaper editors or
publishers inviting them to attend
/ the recent Hawaiian maneuverS with
the feet, and a list OF the names of
all newspaper editors, publishers
owners and employees who accepted
the invitation and took the flight.
